William Jamal Pierce is a 17 year old basketball player that attends Liberty High School. Tall, sexy, talented, and beloved by his friends and peers, he seems to have it all. However, looking from the outside in, everything seems to be going fine fo...
It was finally Friday. Game night! Liberty vs. Infinity. It was a decent matchup, but I knew my school was gonna come out on top. The gym was packed full of people. One side of the gym cheered for Liberty, while the other side cheered for Infinity.
I wasn't going to let the altercation I had with ole girl get to me. I was here for one thing and one thing only. To cheer. I could care less about that bitch and her boyfriend. Word got around, so they're officially a couple now.
Congrats to them. I wish them nothing, but the best. Me, on the other hand, I've been focused on school and visiting my grandma. She's been in the hospital because she's gotten worse. Her doctor said that the cancer progressed to stage 4. This had really taken a toll on my family, especially my mom.
They're really close, so to lose her mother would be devastating. I constantly pray that she gets better, but we have to leave it in God's hands.
Both teams were on the court doing warm ups. The cheerleaders and I were on the sidelines stretching. This was our first game of the season and it was going to be a good one. I could feel it in my spirit that we would be victorious. Let the games begin!
TASHA POV—

Sup, y'all. It's your girl Tasha here in the building! Yeah, I know. 14 chapters later and I finally get a pov of my own. That's a damn shame. Anyway, here's a lil bit about me. I'm Natasha Isabella Cruz and Leah's bestie. She probably told y'all that, but who cares! I'm reminding y'all. Anyhow, I do have a lil crush on my bestie. I've made it known several times, but each time she shuts me down. It's all good though, I still love her. She's still my angel.
I was currently on the sidelines, talking to my bestie. She was warming up, doing stretches and shit. She was on the floor doing a split. She reached her arms out to me and I grabbed them, pulling them forward.
I watched her intently, biting my bottom lip. My best friend was bad. "You can hit a split on my tongue." I said, looking at her.
She looked up at me with her face scrunched up.
"Gone with that bullshit Tasha."
"I'm just saying bestie, you're sexy ass fuck." I stated, as she stood up.
She put her left foot on the bleacher and tied her shoe lace. Shit. I said in my head. Looking at her bent over, had my mind going crazy. When I'm with you, all I get is Wild thoughts.
I couldn't contain myself no longer, so I smacked her ass, watching it bounce in that lil skirt she had on. Leah's head snapped in my direction, so quick, I thought it would break.
"Tasha, I will beat your ass if you do that again."
"Girl, shut up. You always say the same shit and don't ever do nothing about it. Shit, you got a fat ass." I stated, as I smacked it again.
She went to hit me, but I ran, laughing.
"Dumb ass." She replied.
"What are we doing after the game?"
I watched the players on the court warming up.
"We can chill at your house, watch movies, and get fat off junk food. I also wanted to stay over for the weekend. Is it cool with your mom?" She asked.
"You know she's fine with it. You're family, plus she won't be home. She'll be on a business trip, but I'll let her know you're staying over."
"Okay."
I was glad she was coming over. We haven't really spent much time together. I knew something was off with Leah, but I was hoping she'd come around and tell me. I'd just find out later tonight, when I pry it out of her.
The players stepped to the middle of the court for tip off.
"Well, that's my que. Fuck it up angel. I'll be watching you shake that ass of yours." I said with a smirk. She rolled her eyes as she hugged me.
I grabbed a handful of her ass and just before she could swing on me, I ran to my seat.
"Bitch!" She yelled.
I laughed to myself. That's my bestie.
~Fourth Quarter~
WILL POV—
It was the last quarter with 5 minutes on the clock. The game was neck and neck. 33-36. We were up. We had possession of the ball. I watched from the sidelines as Brayden had the ball.
"Timeout!" Coach yelled to the referees.
The timeout whistle blew and both teams went to the benches.
"Why you call a timeout coach? I was just about to shoot that shit." Brayden said, slightly aggravated.
"One, you watch your mouth when you're talking to me. I'm not your friend. I'm your coach and two, the score is too close to be shooting anything. We need to be strategic." Coach said, grabbing his mini white board.
"Will, you're gonna pay attention or you're gonna keep staring at your little girlfriend?" Coach asked, aggravated.
"My bad coach. You can continue."
"Now, they know that Brayden and Will are the best shooters on the team. We just need to run plays to get y'all open." Coach said, drawing on the board.
"What if we get Danny open instead. They wouldn't expect that."
"Danny? Are you fuc- I mean are you serious right now bro? Danny never shoots, and this is our first home game and I'll be pissed if we lose to Infinity." Brayden said, angrily.
The whistle blew, indicating that the timeout was over.
Coach started shaking his head." Just stick to the plays I showed y'all. Now, Bruins on three."
1..2..3 Bruins!" The whole team yelled in unison.
We ran back on the court to start the game back up with 5 minutes left and us only being up by three. The whole time, the score just kept going back and forth. First we up, then we tied, then we up again. We were up by two, until the other team scored and tied the game.
It was only 23 seconds left on the clock. We had to do something. We tried to run the play coach showed us, but we were too guarded up. Instead, I passed the ball to Danny.
"Shoot!" I yelled.
Danny shot that ball and it was like the whole gym became quiet and time was in slow motion. But, Danny being nervous, he rushed his shot. I knew it would miss. With the other team confused to see Danny shoot, made it easy for me to get to the basket.
The ball hit the rim and dropped. The whole gym was shocked that he missed and started to boo him, until I got the rebound and took a shot in the last 3 seconds. I scored.
The whistle blew, meaning the game was over. The score was 38-40. We had won. Everybody from our school flooded the court, running to me.
"You did it bro!" Brayden said, excitedly.
"Yeah, I guess I did."
Even Kani ran up to me and gave me a kiss.
"You did it baby! Great job!"
"Yeah, thanks." I replied, with the biggest smile.
"Let's go to Jenny's to celebrate!" Brayden yelled to the crowd.
I looked around, searching for Danny, but he was nowhere to be found. Maybe, he left for Jenny's already. I'll just catch him there.
