•Jaimala•
I was shooting and practicing until I seen jack j and Sam walking in "of course" with that same boy again. So I play it cool and be friendly. The bell was going to ring in 1 minute so yep.
"Hey Jaimala what's up girl." Sam says trying to act cool
"Um hi again Sam." I say shooting
"What up Jaimala and oh yea this is my friend Jack G, you see him around us a lot." Jack J says
"wow 2 Jacks cool, nice to meet you Jack G." I say shaking his hand
Jack G•
She was really pretty. I'm glad she isn't a slut even though she's not from Nebraska. I was about to say some else but the bell interrupted what I was about to say.
The coach walked in. He looked like one of them coaches that put you to work.
"Ok my name is coach Beam, the girls will have their tryouts first boys you have to wait 2 weeks before your tryouts.!" He said yelling slightly. " Each one of you girls are going to tryout individually first up miss Jaimala." He say pointing to me. I gulp and get up on the court and wait for instructions.
"First shoot from the 3 point line then
I want you to pivot from the elbow to half court to other elbow then the same thing facing the other way," I'm going to test your shooting skills by finding a girl to block you... BEGIN.!" He yells this time
I ran to the 3 point line and swish it went straight in. I go in a corner and start to pivot around the whole court. Once I got done with that he picked a girl, her name was Erika. She looked pretty tough but I didn't care. I pivoted and crossed her over 2 times and shot a layup. I went to go drink some water and sat down again.
After practice
"Hey Jaimala!" Jack g says
"Hey Jack what do you need?" I say concerned.
"Since you got to know Sam and Jack I want to know you and you know me." He says
"Ok jack, I'm 16 and I'm from Sandhill, Mississippi. I'm part African American, Hispanic, and Native American. I love basketball and singing also dancing." I say smiling
"I know your good in basketball you was killing it out there." He says laughing
"Thanks." I say chuckling
"Oh yea I'm Jack G I'm 16. I love to sing also, I been singing and playing guitar every since I was 10," want to come to our party we are hosting Saturday?" He says smiling.
"Fine why not it would be fun I guess." I say smiling showing off my dimples
•Jack G•
She looked so cute when she was smiling. She had pretty dimples and pretty shiny white teeth. I'm glad she said yes to coming to our party.
She tells me she have to go. I say ok and watch her leave out the door of the gym.
