Can't Be Just Friends ||LaMelo Ball ❤️

Chapter Ⅶ 𝚙𝚝 Ⅰ

Me and the boys are sitting around one of the lunch tables eating and talking about our plans for thanks giving.

Isaiah: "I'm staying"

Myron: "Me too"

Rocket: "I'm staying"

LaMelo: "Yea I'm staying too"

               "shit I know I'm going home Christmas though." I say

LaMelo: "Where you stay."

             "Cali"

LaMelo: He scrunches up his face "Where at?" he askes.

             "Sacramento."

LaMelo: "Okay Okay." he nods

Rocket: "Okay okay y'all can stop flirting now."

           I just ignore his comment and my phone goes off.

Jayla: Kalena over here talking out the side of her neck about you

Me: What she saying?"

Jayla: She said you don't even talk to your dad so why do you even go to the games and your hoe ass just wants to get with LaMelo

Me: OK

      See this is why I only have one female friend because these girls out here like to talk a lot.

I undo my apple watch and put it along with my phone on the table.

       "I'll be back"

I get up and walk to the table that my teammates are sitting at. Kalena is facing away from me so she doesn't see me yet but I walk up behind her.

Kalena: "And didn't her mom get pregnant at like sixteen she was a fucking hoe too"

      I really don't want to have to fight this girl but she's making it really hard.

     "Get up" I say and she turns and looks at me scared.

    "You were talking all that shit why are you scared now get up" She stands up and looks me in the face.

   "What do you have to say I'm right here you like to talk  so talk."

Kalena: "You and your mom yea your both some hoe ass bitches that stay up in that house and do hoe ass shit but then again your dad left so I guess that might be why." She says like what she said hurt me in some kind of way.

      She's bold but I am bolder. I don't like to disrespect peoples parents but hey she started it.

     "Look I don't give a fuck what you think about me or my Mom she is a criminal justice lawyer working on some of the top cases in the country." I don't raise my voice or yell I just speak in a very serious tone.

            "Yes she had a baby at sixteen one baby she was a dumb teenager how old is your Mom and what's her excuse."

              " Oh and that house we sit up in it's nice isn't it yea it was paid for off one paycheck and there was still some to spare and that's just our house out here you don't get to where she is doing hoe shit." 

       I walk back to the table I was at and sit down.

Myron: "What she do?" he asks.

       "These girls man I tell ya." I say putting my watch back on.

  "But anyway I was going to say you guys could come over to eat if you don't have a game that day."

   They all nod and say they will come.

         "But just so y'all know my Mom half white so we might have to postmates or order a back up meal."

Isaiah: "Damn."

       "Don't get me wrong the woman can cook but sometimes I don't know what she be making or how she be making it." I put my hands up in defense and we all laugh.

      Someone's phone starts ringing, we all see that it is LaMelo's.

Omniscient

LaMelo gets up, Dylliena and the boys continue to sit eat and laugh at each other because they simply have nothing else to do.

Meanwhile LaMelo is walking back to student housing to answer the FaceTime call.

LaMelo: "Hello"

Ashley: "Hey" she says.

LaMelo: "What's up?" He asks her.

Ashley: "Nothing just wanted to talk to you"

LaMelo: "Oh" he said sitting down on the couch.
LaMelo turns on the PlayStation as he sits down.

Ashley: "Really?" She questioned his actions.

LaMelo: "What?"

Ashley: "Can you not talk to my without being on your game or-"

LaMelo: "My fault"

Must be force of habit. He turns the game off and focuses all his attention to the girl on the screen.

Ashley is now satisfied and has a smile on her face.

Ashley: "I miss you."

LaMelo: "I miss you too."

Ashley: "I wish you could come back for break

LaMelo: "Yea man I was really tryna see my brothers shit momma to...and dip"

Strike one.
     
       For whatever reason she gets it in her head that he doesn't want to see her.

LaMelo: "I'm bored as hell can't even lie."

Ashley: "Its boring talking to me?"

Strike two.

LaMelo: " Nah nah."

Ashley: "Anyways...what do you plan on doing are you gonna eat"

LaMelo: "Yea JJs daughter invited me and a couple of my teammates over to her house gon eat there" he says brushing his hand over his waves.

Ashley: "Daughter..? I didn't know he had a daughter how old is she?"

LaMelo: "She goes here seventeen I think

Strike three he's out.
LaMelo sighs knowing the argument he just started.
