Stay Down

"pass the ball, pass the ball!" king screamed.

"make a three, hit a three!" i shouted to josh blocking this big ass white nigga that was in my way.

josh shot the three just in time as the buzzer went off for the first quarter to be over. "that's the shit i'm talking 'bout." king laughed shoulder bumping a player from the opposing team.

the guy looked down at king who was a few inches shorter then him. i grabbed the nigga arm, "ion think you wanna do that homie."

shaking me off , he walked to the other side of the court.

"man fuck them white, honkey ass niggas." he spat, pouring water into his mouth. "they just jealous that a nigga creamin' they ass."

"aye man i'm white." josh expressed as they huddled around coach.

"aye nigga i don't give a fuck."

"alright we doing good but just cause we up don't mean we safe. it's the first game of the season but don't ever underestimate your competition" he warmed,looking around at all of us, "and king this is the court not the streets compose yourself."

he nodded and we broke huddle.

the stadium was huge. people screaming my name, cheerleaders on the sideline in their green and gold uniforms, niggas with face paint and school merch on yelling like it was the end of the world and shit, signs with my name on 'em waving in the air. i swea these people was crazy.

but it always hyped me up to know people was routing fa me.

"ready man?" honor asked leaning on his knees waiting as the game started. 

"always nigga."

it was their ball but king lil ass quickly stole it from the nigga, throwing me the shit as i hit a three. the crowd erupted with screams.

the kid looked at me, sucking his teeth.

"gotta be quicker then that, lil nigga." i told em, shooting another three over his head.

"damn it rodgers , fuck you doing out there." they coach yelled from the sidelines.

it was 104 to 92

we was just having fun with these niggas, they ain't have no good point guard, no middle man and definitely no good captain the way they was slacking.

"make the shot b!" king yelled throwing me the ball.

catching it , i dribbled down the court, glancing around at some scouts and a girl who just made her way to the game.

she was squeezing between people as everyone stood in anticipation of the last shot.

her wavy hair laid flat against her back a black bandanna tied around her head, ripped baggy jeans sat low on her waist exposing her helfiger boxers with a black shirt with biggie on it that was cut to show her toned stomach and belly button ring.

she made her way to her friends , watching me as everyone else was but i was looking back at her as i threw the ball in the air making the buzzer go off  and the ball go in.

everyone cheered including her as she clapped her hands exposing her tattooed arm.

"that's the shit that's gonna get us to the finals." king slapped my back, walking to the locker room.

"they didn't know what to do with cho lil ass." honor laughed, going into the showers.

king sucked his teeth, "that cause im to fast fa these folks man. i be here." he ran to one side of the room, "then i be here." he ran to the back." "then i be ova-"
