"sappy ass nigga'' mark told me ''shut your ass up'' I told him laughing  we where at his crib chilling and smoking when I decided to call my dad and see if he's ok ''hey son'' he said it sound like he was doing a lot of movement ''what you doing over there'' I told him ''getting down what you want you interrupting me'' I laughed at him ''old ass then bye'' he laughed and said bye ''what was he doing'' mark asked me ''you don't wanna know you wanna go to the basketball court'' I asked him he said yeah and we left. Getting to the court it was pack I looked around and when they saw me they nodded they head some clapped my hand while some must looked bitches was staring holes in my head like damn you wanna lick me and mark made our way to the court and I saw Emory out there balling ''Aye E'' I called him he looked back and smirked ''well look who it is you wanna battle to see who the best player is'' I laughed at him I ain't going to lie he can play but not like me but then I thought to myself this family full of athletes must run in the genes 'ok let's see if you can beat me'' I said tossing the ball to him. It was a ties and we needed to break it ''don't go easy on me'' Emory told me I scoffed ''I was never easy on you'' I took the ball and ran to basket a shot it in making me win I looked back and saw that he had a sad look I went to him ''don't be upset aye you're the first to actually be in a tie with me though'' I told him ''I guess that's good'' he said picking up the ball and shooting it from were he was ''look on the bright side when I graduate you become captain'' I said smiling ''your lying'' he said getting all excited ''yeah I had a talk with coach and he saw how you play another one me as he say'' I said laughing at the last part ''I can't believe I'm going to be captain when you leave'' he paused ''you need to hurry up leave'' he said in all seriousness I laughed at him before I heard mark come over ''hey Emory... where your sister'' he asked me and Emory straight face him ''ok I'm sorry  damn don't have to look so rude'' mark said leaving ''where durian at'' I asked him ''he might be home I don't know'' he shrugged ''wanna go for one more round'' I asked he turned around ''hell yeah''. We was walking down the block when we seen some unfamiliar face so I tapped mark and pointed over them we ran up on them niggas and shot at them ''AYE BITCH ASS NIGGAS'' I yelled out I hit one but two of them got we ran up to the dude I shot I looked down and saw I shot him in his stomach I bent down ''I'll help you if you help me''' I told me ''I rather die then help you'' he said trying to breath I shook my head  and got up I nodded at mark to finish him and he nodded back with a huge grin on his face ''bye now'' mark said before shooting him in the head ''call Romeo so he can clean this up'' he nodded a called Romeo, I felt my pocket vibrate I huffed because who the hell is calling me this late I looked at it and saw it was queen my aggravation was gone I walked further down a picked up the phone ''hey babe'' queen said she sound drunk ''hey you good'' I asked her ''yeah just calling cause I miss you'' she said a grin came up on my face ''I miss you too'' I thought about then I looked at my phone ''girl you come back tomorrow'' I said laughing ''sooo'' she said ''go to sleep I'll see you tomorrow love you'' I told her ''love you too'' she said before hanging up I turned around and saw mark coming up to me ''sappy ass nigga'' he said  shaking his head ''shut up come on we need to leave. I woke up to my alarm going off I rolled over and groaned hitting the alarm cutting it off I rolled on my back looking at the ceiling I checked my phone and saw it was almost one so I got up and went to the bathroom I did my hygiene a started to get ready for practice today I put on some gray sweet pants and a white T I grabbed my phone and went to the kitchen ''wassup dad''  I said he nodded his head at me I picked up a banana and sat down in front of him ''so who she'' I said taking a bite of my banana he looked at me ''her name is none'' I scrunched my face up ''none'' I asked ''yeah, none yo damn business'' he said laughing and getting up ''YOU NOT EVEN FUNNY'' I yelled out, I got up and grabbed my keys and left. "PICK UP THE PACE'' my coach yelled this man was driving us crazy we lose one game and we have to keep running until he say stop ''bruh...what's..wrong..with..him'' mark said trying to breath I saw Emory trying to keep up so I slowed up so that me and him where at the same pace ''calm down take deep breaths'' I told him he was having a hard time trying to breath ''you have asthma'' I asked he shook his head yes  I looked around and pulled him to the side ''take a breath'' I told him while he tried to catch his breath ''look at me'' he looked up ''breath'' I said he was catching his so I sat there with he did that five minutes went by and he looked calm ''why didn't say yup had asthma in the first play you could've had a asthma attack what's wrong with you'' I told him he looked up at me ''would I be on the team if I said I did, I'm tired of people telling me how to live my life so what I have asthma and I can't do certain things but for once, for once I would like to prove people wrong and show them I can do it'' he said I know how he felt people always judging you based off what they hear or see, I sat  down next to him ''I know how you feel but it gets better I promise'' I told he shook his head ''so..wanna get out of here'' I asked him he smiled and got up and we snuck out. I was now waiting in front of my house to see queen she haven't call or texted me to tell me if she was here or not ''the fuck you out here for'' I looked up a saw Durian walking my way ''I'm waiting for queen'' I told him he just looked at me ''oh ok'' was all he said before walking away ''wait, can I ask you something it's about Emory'' I said and he instantly turned around ''what happened'' he said in a stern voice ''nothing but we where in practice running laps and he almost had past out I had to take him to corner and make him catch his breath'' I told Durian he took a breath before leaning against the wall ''Emory is....complicated he wants to do things himself he don't make things get in his way especially when he want that thing one time he broke his arm so bad that he couldn't play in one of his basketball games you know what he did, he played the next day he played with one arm they lost but he didn't care he wasn't going miss out on what he wanted to do'' he said ''your not the only one that grew up depending on themselves growing up I was the one to take care of Emilia and Emory but since you're here we have them to look after I might come off intimidating but that's who I am so yeah'' he told me damn this nigga deep and right when I was going to get up queen and Angela was here I guess praise went  home first I ran over to queen picked her up and swung her around  she laughed and I put her down giving her kiss ''ok we get it you missed her chill out'' Angela said coming out of the car ''ha ha your so funny Angela'' I told her I looked to the side of me and saw Durian eyeing Ang "oh ang this is my brother durian, durian ang'' I said introducing them ''hi'' ang said and I could've sworn the earth must of came to an end this nigga had a  different expression on his face this nigga looked.... Happy ''so you do have more than one face expression'' I told him he mean mugged me ''damn my bad calm down'' I said while putting my head in the crook of queen neck ''I missed you'' I said pouting ''I missed you too hope you didn't get in any trouble'' she said giving me a certain stare ''nope'' I said popping the p I grabbed her hand and lead her to my house I looked back and saw Durian talking to Angela and she looked like she was enjoying whatever he was talking bout. ''it's hot and your laying on me like it's not'' queen said I put my hand over her mouth indicating I wanted her to shut up ''boy don't put your hand over my mouth don't know what you been doing with that hand'' she said trying to funny ''shut up stay talking shit'' I told her I sat up and so did she ''so I was thinking maybe we run for prom king and queen'' queen said I held a unreadable expression that stuff ain't my cup of tea ''queen you might as well stop asking I'm not doing it'' I told her getting up and going to the living room I heard her get up and follow me ''why not this is our last year it would be fun'' she said I ignored her if I say I'm not going to do it the first time that mean I'm not going to do it at all ''so your not gonna do it'' she said I ignored her still ''ok'' was all she said before I heard the door slam shut I huffed at this whole situation she want everything to go her way but that's not what's going to happen she need to learn that I sat down on the couch and started to play the game I knew that she was going to be petty about it but that's her I don't have time for it. Me and mark was heading to school when I seen queen walking I huffed and drove up to her ''queen get in'' she ignored me ''come on bruh get in I don't got time for the shit'' she steady ignored me so I pulled over and grabbed her and threw her in the car ''ARE YOU CRAZY'' she yelled out ''you act like you can't hear so I took it upon myself to do something about it'' I told her ''ok but you didn't have to through me in here'' she said I ignored her ass cause now she being mad aggravating. We reach the school and I got out not even thinking about queen at the moment I passed everyone without saying anything I just went straight to class and did my work.
