"Unt unt she finna cry" Nicole said handing her back to me.
"What's wrong baby girl" I cooed. Reaching to her bag I got out a warm bottle, but she was not having that.
"Shhh shhh" I rocked her back and forth not wanting her to get loud. She calmed down eventually and went straight to sleep.
"You seem like a good mom" Brianna smiled.
"Damn sure is" Marcus agreed placing his hand on my thigh. I moved over a little making his hand fall.
"Thank you, I try" We all turned out focus back to the game...or most of us.
"How long have you and Gio been together?" Brianna asked.
"Damn bitch you want her whole life story?" Dom spoke. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's getting annoyed.
"Almost 2 years" I leaned back to seat in between the bleachers with Gigi on my chest.
"You know we used to date...Me and Gio, Like what 3 years ago?" She laughed as if something was funny.
"5 sis it was 5 years ago" Nicole budded in.
"I'm aware of that" I chuckled. This girl is really sprung and she ain't even had the dick. The half-time bell rung and Gio jogged to where we sat.
"You okay?" He kissed my cheek.
"Yeah I just need to change her, here's your stuff" I handing him his candy and Gatorade.
"Thank you" He went back to whatever he was doing and I entered the bathroom. I was quickly ambushed with questions from other girls but I was fine with these questions.
"How old is she?"
"What's her name?"
"How does it feel to be a mom?"
"Was it painful?"
These are questions that I would happily answer and have nothing to do with the fact that I'm 14.
Brianna came in just as the other girls went out. I don't know what her obsession is with me. I pretended not to see her and continued changing Gigi.
"Oh girl what you doing in here" She laughed standing beside me.
"Changing my child" I pulled her pants back up and washed my hands before picking her up.
"Oh okay" She stood beside me looking slow.
"How's the dick sis?" She question putting on lip gloss.
"Bi- Excuse me?"
"I mean if you don't mind me asking...We friends right?" She giggled.
"No we're actually not and I would love it if you minded your business and left me the hell alone"
"Alright then sis..." She walked out casually and went back with her friends.
Me on the other hand I decided to stand up over the railing at the top of the bleachers away from them. I'm tired of her smart remarks about my age and my child.
"You running from us" Marcus asked.
"No it was just a little loud" I lied pulling Gigi closer to me. Marcus was weird he's really...touchy.
"Ya boy good ain't he" He smiled pushing his front side against my butt and hands on my waist. My breath became quicker as I scanned the room for Gio.
"I was just checking on you two" He dragged his hand from my waist and to my butt where he grabbed it and walked off.
I watched him walk back to seat with his friends as I walked the other way. My throat started to hurt as a lump formed in the back of it. I didn't want to cry, Lord knows I hate crying in public but the tears came down.
I sat on the other side of the bleachers from where they sat. I took Gigi out of her seat and held her tight. I didn't want to bring attention to myself what so ever so I put my hood on and sat back.
Even though I had no idea how basketball worked I enjoyed watching Gio play. Knowing that he was here managed to calm me down. We made unexpected eye contact as I smiled. He did a double take and tilted his head to the side squinting his eyes.

Looking over I felt someone watching me, it was Aaliyah. I did a double take and notice she wasn't with the group no more. It didn't take a idiot to know that she was crying either.
"Yo Gio" Coach yelled. "Get over here"
"Yes Coach"
"What you doing daydreaming" He asked. "Take a break"
I sat down trying to catch my breath and get Aaliyahs attention. She knew I was watching her and she refused to look at me.
"Bathroom" I asked my coach
"2 minutes"
I jogged over to her seat and pulled her up and taking Gianna. She got the memo and follow me out the gym.
"What's wrong" I questioned.
"I...I..um" She was thinking of a lie and it better be a damn good one.
"Don't lie to me Aaliyah, what's wrong?" I asked again.
"I'm okay Gio" She smiled.
"I didn't ask you that" As much as I wanted to be frustrated I couldn't.
"What makes you think I'm not?" She chuckled a little.
"Look at me" I spoke grabbing her face. "You know you can talk to me okay? Don't hold it in"
She nodded and I gave her a kiss before leading her back into the gym. I handed her Gigi and got right back into the game. It's almost the end of the last quarter and we winning by a long shot.
My mind wasn't straight now, I couldn't focus on the game and Aaliyah at the same time. Long story short coach took me out the game again and now I'm pissed. The bell rung letting everybody know the game was over. We won 21-3
"Good game" We all celebrated together before going back into the locker room to get changed.
