"Y/n!" You mom yelled, "Get up! You're gonna be late for school!" You wiped your eyes, and checked the time on the clock. 8:30 am. You jumped out of bed, took a shower, brushed your teeth, and got dressed:
You walked into the kitchen. "Ma!" You yelled, "I'm gone!" Your mom walked into the kitchen, and kissed your head. "Don't be getting in trouble today,"Your mom said.
"I won't,"You said. Your mom nodded. "I'll see you later,"Your mom said, "I love you." You kissed your mom on the cheek. "I love you more,"You said.
You left the house, and walked to school. You connected your bluetooth to your phone, and Sorrows by BLESSED came on. You arrived at school, and started walking to class.
"Ms. James,"Mr. Johnson said, "You're late, again." "Look,"You said, "I got more things to worry about than school right now." The class laughed. "Sit,"Mr. Johnson said.
You sat down at your seat. Mr. Johnson started teaching the class. After school was over, you walked out of the school building. "Y/n,"Travis said. You turned around.
"What?" You asked. "You coming to the party tonight?" Travis asked. "Nope,"You said, "I got stuff to do."
"Like what?" Travis asked. "Travis,"You said, "Mind your damn business." "And if I don't want to?" Travis asked. Three bloods walked up behind you.
"Leave her the hell alone,"Tyriek said, "Or we'll beat your ass." Travis backed up a little. "Now,"Joyner said, "The James family is the most respected family in Crenshaw."
"If we ever catch you around her talking, laughing, or harassing her again, then you're done, got it?" Chris asked. Travis nodded. "Yeah, I got it,"Travis said. "Good, now get outta here,"Tyriek said.
Travis left, and you looked at them. "Thanks guys,"You said. "No problem y/n,"Tyriek said, "You know we got yo back." "Always,"Joyner said. "Always and Forever,"Chris said.
You hugged them, and walked home. You walked inside the house, and there was a guy, and your mom sitting on the couch.
"Mom?" You asked, "Who's this?" Your mon walked over to you, grabbed your hand, and pulled you over to the couch. "Sweetie,"Your mom said, "This is Billy Baker."
The man stood up, and walked over to you. He shook your hand. "Hi,"You said, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Baker."
"Please, call me Coach,"Billy said. "Coach?" You asked. "Billy is going to be your new football coach,"Your mom said. "Don't you think it would be weird for a girl to be on the team?" You asked.
"Who ever told you that was wrong,"Billy said. "I need to think about it,"You said. Billy nodded, and stood. "It was nice meeting you,"Billy said, "You let me know when you're ready."
You nodded, and Billy left. You did your homework, took a shower, at sat down at the table. "Y/n,"Your mom said, "You should do this. You've been waiting your whole life to be able to show your talent."
"Ma, I don't know,"You said. Your mom passed you a plate, and sat down in front of you. "It doesn't matter if you're a girl, baby,"Your mom said, "What matters is how you play and the dedication you put into your hard work."
You nodded. "You trained yourself,"Your mom said, "Yourself. The day you came home and told me what your dream was, I was proud of you. Not because of what it was, but because of how much work you were putting into it."
"Every Saturday and Sunday, you trained non-stop,"You mom said, "Even after school. You didn't get back home until 5 am the next day."
"You've worked so hard to get to where you wanna be. It's time to show those boys, that you're more than a girl who cheers for them on the sideline. Make me proud mama,"Your mom said. You smiled, ate dinner with your Mom, and went to sleep.
