"I'm open!" Tamir shouted to Shawn once he shook the guy off of him. It was May 11th, their last game of the school year and both teams were playing their hearts out. There were big-time recruiters there watching, which made everyone nervous because they wanted to get chosen by their favorite team.

"It ain't gon' work," Shawn shook his head before taking the shot and cursed when the ball hit the rim.

"Come on nigga," Daewon stressed jogging down the court.

Sighing, Shawn placed his hands on top of his head and blew out a frustrated breath. This was the fourth shot he missed and everyone was catching on to his standoffish vibe.

"Hunter!" The Coach yelled from the sideline.

Looking at him, Shawn cursed when he saw the other team score again.

"Let's go, take five,"

"What?" He frowned just as Tamir passed him the ball.

        "Take five, Logan you're up,"

"Take five, Logan you're up,"

"Are you serious dawg?" Shawn quizzed passing the ball to Tamir.

"Add another five,"

"Lame as fuck yo, what the fuck," he shook his head as he walked off the court and the guests groaned watching Yae'Shawn walk off.

"Put him back in!"

"What are you doing?!"

"What the hell?"

Ignoring the crowd, Yae'Shawn pushed the double doors open and placed his hands on top of his head as he tried to calm his breathing but he was pissed the hell off. He knew he was uncoordinated because of the recruiters being there but this is what he's been training for, this is what the sleepless nights were about. The early morning, constant praying and long practices, he knew he needed to get right.

"Shawn?" Reign's calm voice mellowed out his negative thoughts.

"Why are yuh out here?" She asked sitting next to him.

"Coach tired of me fucking up," he mumbled then shook his head.

"Did he pull yuh?"

"Just told me to take a break... damn man," he exhaled.

"Don't be mad, just use dis to reflect ok? Yuh know yur gud and so do I," She said placing a kiss on his cheek before getting up.

"Yuh got dis," she smiled about to walk away but he grabbed her hand.

         Looking back at him, she rose a brow and he pulled her into him and cupped her face.
