Rebound Girl || •Trevor Jackson•

Get on The Line

           By last period, Toni couldn't stop thinking about tryouts. Everybody already on the team would be there so it be more of a practice than a tryout.

"Class I would like to introduce Toni to the class," Mrs.Neverson said "would you like to stand and tell us about yourself?"

"This lady must be out of her mind," Toni thought to her self as she stood up. "Umm, I'm Toni, I'm from Compton. East Compton to be exact. Umm, I mean that's pretty much it."

"Well what made you come to Malibu?" The teacher asked.

A student in in the back began having a coughing fit and whispered "eviction" in between coughs loud enough for Toni to hear. And she heard it.

"Excuse me? What did you say?" Toni got all in the boys face

"Only said the truth, isn't it true?" The boy said, smiling.

Before Toni could respond, a deep voice interrupted.

"Jarvis, leave her alone" he said in an annoyed tone.

Toni took her seat and looked in the direction on the voice. There, sitting in that chair, was a boy so.....perfect that she couldn't take her eyes off of him. Maybe it has his hair, his skin, or his demeanor that made him perfect, but whatever it was, Toni didnt care; she was in love.

Realizing that she was staring, she quickly turned to the front.

The bell rang, signalling to go home.

But not for Toni. She went to her locker and grabbed her things. She changed in the nearest bathroom then made made her way to the practice gym.

When she entered the gym, she immediately realized she was in the wrong gym. It looked like the boys were having their practice in there.

"Excuse me can some one tell me where the girls are practicing?" She raised her voice loud enough so she could at least get the attention of the boy shooting jumpers near by.

The boy shot his last jumper before he turned her direction. Then she saw him. The boy from last period.

"What are you looking for again, I didn't hear you." He said walking toward Toni. Her heart pounded faster every step he took toward her.

"Uhh..I'm l-looking for the g-girls tryouts."Toni managed to get out. " is there another gym or..."

"Yes there is. You just leave out that door and take a right....."

Toni wasn't even listening to the boy, she was just admiring his face. His perfect skin, the muscles in his arms, the slight dimple in his right cheek......

"Umm soooo you know were to go right?" He said smiling.

Dang it he saw me starin, Toni thought while snapping out of her trance.

"Uh yeah! Thanks.....?" She asked, expecting a name.

"Trevor. And you are? "

"Umm my names Toni. Thanks again!" She said, leaving the gym.

"No problem, Toni." He said backing up then eventually went back to shooting jumpers.

Oh my god he is so fine! Toni thought while making her way to the second gym.

When she entered the second gym, every girl looked her way. She was told by her mother that when people stare at you theyre admiring how beautiful you are. For some reason Toni held on to that and believed it. So she put her head up high as if the girls were looking up to her; which they really weren't, because the majority of them were 5'10 and up while Toni was just over 5'4.

"Who's that?" Someone asked

"That new girl from East Compton high. Remember we beat their asses last season?" her the other girl laughed.

Toni was about to go off on the girl until she heard her again.

"But that girl? She's raw as hell man. Like, she's no joke; its just the rest of the team that sucks." Her and her friend laughed for a second time.

"Alright guys base line power layups guys let's get it started, and if you don't make 30 in a row in 3 minutes were running." Said the coach who was mysteriously sitting in the background somewhere.

When they got started with the layups Toni was making all of them until she saw Trevor and the rest of the boys walk into the gym and started warming up on the other half.

When she was passed the ball to shoot the layup, she missed. Toni missed a layup. She was so embarrassed, especially because Trevor was in there. And on top of that, the girls were at twenty layups in a row, until Toni missed hers.

"Alright times up!" The coach yelled

"That's crazy you guys can't make 30 layups in 3 minutes that's plenty of time! GET ON THE LINE!"

She felt so bad that she made the team run that she couldn't look at their faces.

But Trevor was so cute she could help not looking at his face.
