Sitting in the locker room I listened to the crowd cheering for us. Tonight was my last game I will be chosen for what team I'll play for. I was so uneased about how this game may turn out but I pretended to be confident in front of the boys. There mind were more set on the ladies in the crowd and I would've been to but to much problems was going on in my personal life. A text message came in from a female friend I read it in silence while tossing my phone in my bag. It felt as the room grew cold and I began to panic. My eyes darted to the door when my coach came in hysterical. A wooden clipboard was tossed against the locker and his ball cap. My team and were in the locker room talking junk when he came in trippin. Everyone stopped talking as he got madder and more madder knocking over the gatorade jug we all shared during the game. He walk to the center of the room where we all surrounded and talked out his frustrations.
"If I call your name than please do me a favor and grab a cup from me and urinate in it. If you do not or fail this drug test than know you are no longer part of this team nor will you be able to continue to attend school using your sports scholarship."
My heart dropped to the floor it was like the wind was knocked out of me. This had to be a joke for me to be extremely disaapointed and hurt if I lost this scholarship. My focus got messed up when I dated my ex Brook and started the number one point guard position. My hands started to sweat and I began wiping them on my shorts while putting a towel on my neck. My boys eyes darted from me to them and to our coach. I recall first joining the school team and attending a big kick back and that's where I meet Brook Lials.
That day it was nice and warm outside we just finished practicing on a blacktop beside the school. We played a little and made some drills when coach called me out while we were sprinting around the outskirts in a square.
"Alonzo get over here now. I need for you to play offense against Chris" yelled my coach.
Chris was a small forward but I knew I could lay the ball up. The boys stop working out and Chris played defense the moment my hand touch the ball. I cross it between my legs and since he left me going the opposite way barley falling over I hit a three from the three point line. Than I did the same thing to our center player Eric but more slowly before I knew it coach kept making me take the ball down court and I became a point guard that day. I could shoot from any where on the court. My skills were one of a kind according to my coach. After practice Kevin one of my other teammates had a kickback at his crib.
I got dress in my polo outfit and fresh white air forces matching my gold watch . When I arrived everyone was yelling my name telling me how good I am. Than we took shots and I started leaning. Trying to balance myself Eric pulled out a cigar and dime bag asking if I smoked. I told him no and they left me alone but than Brook came over looking beautiful as always. Her hair was cut short in a bob but she was beautiful. Over the past few days I didn't realized we shares the same classes. When she came over we made small conversation. Dodging her eyes I smiled because she smiled at me asking if I wanted to dance. We danced and before you know it we were 3 songs in before Eric came over asking Brook if she smoked. She agreed and we followed going into Eric house since he was the only one who didn't live on campus. As Eric and I walked side by side I seen him catching glimpse of her ass. Falling back I let him know to chill that Brook was mines. Assuring me he wouldn't we got into his spot and it was blunt central the smell hit my nose when I crossed the living room threshold. Brook took a couple puffs and she started kissing on me in front of everyone. When the blunt came back she was on my lap beginning me to take a puff to loosen up. Finally accepting I took a few puffs.
Brook led me out the room while taking Eric blunt because another was in rotation. She took me in a room that looked like his parents room. As I looked around I sat on the bed feeling like the room was spinning I fell back on the bed and Brook asking if she could bring her friend in. She left to bring her inside the room closing the door.
I placed my hands behind my head to watch them make out. Brook took control and began to straddle me after she dropped my jeans and boxers to my feet. Each stroke I stared at her friend body squirming while fingering her deeply. I took my finger out than she licked my fingers and Brook got off to give me head. We all keep enjoying each other company that night until the next day Eric knocked on the door waking us up to only me and her friend in the bed. Lightly tapping her we both got dressed in silence before she asked for my number. I told her I couldn't she explained that Brook was fucking Eric and that she was drugged last night and wanted to do it again but in her right state of mind and alone.
After I went home in thought still Brook friend manage to hit me up and then I began fucking Brook to. A week later they had a fall out and knew about each other so I quit them both. Thinking about it I grabbed my phone out the bag rereading Brook friend message me that Brook told school counsel that some of the team members on basketball team are using drugs.
My phone began to flash so I looked at the notification and opening the message this time from Brook as my coach gave more of a life lecture.
Brook🤪: Continue fucking my friend just know your scholarship is gone. And tell your boy Eric that he ain't man enough to handle a woman like me.
Closing my phone I was in shock and upset with myself to get that high and intoxicated. Plus to fuck a women I barely known and her friend as well. My chances of the NBA was over for good. I carried the cup into the bathroom taking a piss saying a silent prayer to myself. When I finished 5 minutes later after giving the cup to my coach he handed me a plane ticket to go home. My teammates received one as well. Even though I was the only one their on a sports scholarship my time was up. And I was forced to pack and return home for good. Gathering my belonging my coach sent everyone out the lockeroom for us to be alone. Standing in the same spot he shook his head playing with his beard.
"Ok disappointed in you Alonzo but I'm going to fight to get you that contract for the NBA. Now go home be safe stay out of trouble and I'll keep in contact."
Adjusting my gym bag on my shoulder I walked out with my head hanging low. Nobody could say anything to make me feel better at this point in my life. I just hope that coach was a man of his word. Right now I had no one in my corner but I told myself that I will bounce back.
