Months later
"The tryouts list will be posted Monday morning." Coach smith told the tryout boys as we all sit on the bleachers. "I wish you all luck. You can be dismissed now."
We all leave out the gym and I call a Uber home since school let out hours ago.
"Bro, let me holl- at you for a minute." Jay said as he approaches me by the school entrance door after I called my Uber.
"What's good?" I dapped him up. "You think you made the team?"
"Hell yeah boy." He chuckled. "You know we the best on the team."
"Facts." I laughed. "But what you wanted to talk about?"
He sighed. "Bro I fucked up... bad." He looked down and shook his head.
"Why, what happened." I asked, anxious for what he's about to tell me.
"I got her pregnant bro." He blurted out. "I got Anita pregnant."
My mouth dropped and I stayed silent for a moment out of shock.
"I fucked up." Jay shook his head again.
"You nutted in her?"
He nodded his head slowly.
"Yo mama gon' kill yo ass. Why the fuck you ain't wear a condom?"
"Because you can't feel shit when Wearin' a condom." He sucked his teeth. "I fuckin' hate those shits." He chuckled.
"Damn bro." I shook my head. "I don't even know what to say."
"I can't have no baby right now... I got basketball and college starts not even a year from now." He shook his head while talking. "I told her get rid of it, but she wants to keep it."
"Keep it? Why the fuck would she wanna keep it?"
"She said she don't believe in abor-"
"Hey." Unique said, walking over to the both of us, causing jay to end the conversation short.
"Hey." I smiled.
"I'll holla at you later." Jay said, dapping me up once unique and I broke our kiss.
"Ight Bro." I dap him up.
"Bye Jason." Unique smiled and waved bye to him.
He waved bye back, and made his way out the building. He's probably taking the subway home.
"Did you make the tryouts?" Unique asked, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"I don't know yet baby. They finna post the schedule on Monday to tell who made the team."
"Everyone knows you made the team." She smiled. "You're one of the best players."
"Did you make the cheer squad?"
"I don't know yet. Tryouts just let out five minutes ago, they're gonna post the schedule on Monday just like you guys."
"That's what's up." I nodded.
She stands up on her tippy toes to reach my height to give me a kiss.
"What. The. Fuck.?" We heard a familiar voice behind us say.
"Shit." Unique mumbled as she turned around and saw Naomi.
"Naomi what you doing here? School let out a hour ago."
"I had to stay after school to retake a test. But the real question is why the fuck are you kissing my brother!" She snapped.
"Naomi." Unique sighed. "I was gonna tell you but-"
"I don't wanna hear it unique!"
"But Naomi-"
"You're my best friend and you're fucking my brother!" She spat. "Fuck you." She shook her head and walked off.
"Naomi wait!" Unique said.
"Hold on!" I chased after her. "How you gettin' home?"
"Don't worry bout it. Leave me alone." She said, beginning to run so I wouldn't chase after her.
"Nao-"
"Leave her alone." Unique said as she walks back over to me. "We'll talk to her once she's in the mood."
