Unexpected (Tyler Herro/ Miami Heat)

Thirty Five

It was now All-Star Saturday night. Bam was in the skills challenge, Duncan was in the Three point shootout, and Derrick was in the slam dunk competition.

Arlie sat in the same spot.

"I'm gonna go see the guys really quick." Arlie told Tyler.

"I'll go with you. I gotta tell them to win it for us." He joked.

They walked to where they were getting the photos done and saw them all posing together.

"They grow up so fast." Tyler fakes cried.

"It feels like just yesterday they got in the league." Arlie said.

"We heard that." Derrick said.

"Kick Aaron's ass." Arlie said.

"Damn, no need to get aggressive." Duncan laughed.

"For real." Bam laughed.

The three finished and walked over with Tyler and Arlie.

But Duncan get held behind by another girl, she looked young, had brown long hair with highlights and was short.

"Duncan! Get your ass over here!" Bam ordered.

He listened and brought her with him hand in hand.

"Guys this is Caroline." Duncan introduces her to them.

"Nice to finally meet you guys, Duncan talks about you all a lot. You must be Arlie?" Caroline asked.

"Yeah nice to meet you." Arlie gave a fake smile.

"I'll be right back." Tyler said before walking away.

"I'm gonna go fine your mom, I'm sitting by her right?" Caroline asked Duncan.

"Yep, same place." Duncan said.

"Good luck." Thy we kissed before walking away.

"So...new girl?" Arlie asked.

"Uh...yeah actually." Duncan said.

"We should go fine Tyler!" Bam said turned Arlie around and pushed her out of the situation.

Bam ended up winning the skills challenge and now it was Duncan.

He didn't really get hot until the last two racks but finished with 19 points.

He got eliminated after the next person got over 20.

After the three point shootout Duncan left. Arlie felt bad for him since she's seen how hard he's worked to get here. So since she was a friend she went to find him.

She looked everywhere and then found him sitting against the wall in the hallway.

"What are you doing?" She asked looking down at him.

"Nothing..." He said.

"See I've learned that whenever you say that, there's really something going on." She said sitting down next to him.

"I just wish I could've done better."

"So what, you still got to represent us. You're still one of the best shooters in the league you're even beating records left and right."

"I know, it just would've meant something else if I had won that trophy."

"Miami doesn't need a three point trophy when they have you..."

He looked over at her, "wow!"

"What?"

"That was incredibly cheesy." He laughed.
