Jayson

As I'm standing in hallway waiting for Alayna to arrive I scan the flyers on the walls. This year I plan on getting noticed. Being the best I can be and setting my goal to become an personal athlete.

I scan the hallway with my eyes searching for Alayna, she'd arrived in the hallways, man this girl looks even better without makeup, I couldn't believe her natural glow, it's just amazing. I stare at her approaching in my direction, putting one of hands on my head smoothing my hair. We met face to face and she greets me. "Hey, you look good." She says looking at me up and down. "Not as fine as you do." I say making her blush a little bit. "Stop it, lets go." She says hitting my arm softly while we started to walk. "There's a really good restaurant I know not to far from here called Chipotle Mexican Grill or we can go somewhere else?" I asked making her feel comfortable. "Yea I heard they're really good. And thank you." She says while I open her the door. "No problem." I said as a smile formed upon my face. We walked to restaurant that wasn't to far from the campus. One the way Alayna and I talked and talk about our relationships, Goals and more.

As we arrived I opened the door and found us a table. "Take a seat, I'll order for us. What would you like to eat?" I asked waiting on her response. "I'll get number 9 with extra meat and I'll have a small Blue lemonade. And make the spice mild please on the taco." She said and I nodded in response taking her order to the order section. I grab Alayna's order and mine as well and headed back to the table.

I approached the table with our foods that looked delicious. The song *Always On Time* came on in the background and it set our vibe, it made us felt less uncomfortable in the process. "Thank you, your such an gentleman. She says and digs into her food as I did the same. "No problem." I say taking a sip of my drink. A few moments later after we ate our food some of our known classmates and roommates started to pile up in the restaurant, so Alayna and I decided to leave.

Alayna

Jayson and I are actually having a great time. We have so much in common and we both talk about our plans after we graduate. It's nice to have someone that talk's about their future and wanting to set there goal in life, Chase and I haven't talked about it but it's amazing that Jayson cares about his future.

Jayson and I decided to leave the restaurant because some of our known friends were showing up. It's not that we don't want anyone to see us, it's the fact that people would talk about us and create problems on campus.

Jayson and I walk all around blocks talking and getting to know each other a lot better. Wr decided to get some dessert at the moment. We'd stop at an ice cream shop and gotten our favorite flavors of ice cream. We'd finally got back to campus having a few more minutes before curfew. "Only 8:10, gotta couple more minutes." I said as we were finishing up our ice cream's and sit on a bench. "So what about you? What's your plan after these next six months?" Jayson asked while laying one of his arms on the bench. "I already signed up for an job at Chanel's Fashion store."

I said giving Jayson a proud response. "Hold up so all that time I was saying you should be a stylist you just-." He said as I stopped him from his sentence. "Yes, my goal is to be one of the best stylist in the world but I definitely wanna start off slow." I say looking into his darken eyes. "That's great, only greatness can succeed that way." He says as his response made me chuckle a bit. We both stared at each other for while until I broke eye contact. "We should head back before it hits the thirty mark." I said as I stood up putting my purse in my hand. "Yea, we should. How about we do this again Thursday night?" He asked while standing up.

I couldn't help but question his thoughts. "You know you seem very persistent." I say as he smiles. "I just know what I want. So can I pick you up at six?" He asked as I smile turning my head. "I really can't Jayson. You know who my boyfriend is right?" I said questioning him as if he knew whom I was sharing intercourses with. "Yea but he can always bring someone with him to double date." He chuckles after his response and I chuckled along. "This whole getting me thing to be your girlfriend thing isn't going to work, you know that right?" I said making sure he'd wouldn't achieve his goal by compelling me to his girl. "Aight, but I'll always stay persistent. So Thursday at seven?" He asked as I smiled and turned around starting to head back to my dorm room.

Jayson

Alayna smiled at me before turning around to head back to her dorm, as she turned the other direction to head down I followed her way to head to my dorm. It felt really good that I was achieving my goal and was getting her attention, definitely felt proud of myself and I'm proud to proceed more. That smile that she'd gave me, I knew another chance was given.

I thought Alayna would deny all of my accusations because she's dating someone. She said nothing would come between us but I definitely feel the attention between us. I head back to my dorm while heading off to sleep thinking about Alayna. I really want her to be mine, I wanna make her move with me wherever the NBA takes me. It'll be the perfect life for me, everything will fall in place and I'm all down for it.

Weeks
Later

I can't believe it's been almost a month and I'm still not with Alayna. I know it takes time to get someone to fall in love with you but basketball season is coming up and I need Alayna by my side every trip of the way. I'd love to be with her everyday of the hour. Lately we've been having lunch a lot and I've been teaching her how to shoot a basketball. I'm just frustrated that she doesn't see what Chase is doing, she should have been single by now but it's worth a wait.

"Keep your position boys! Moving is the key!" Coach Krzyzewski says, yells at us so the team could make the right plays. "Chase defend Jayson!" He says as Chase tries to guard me but he couldn't. "Jayson shoot the ball!" He yells and I shoot the ball making a beautiful shot. "YES THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!" Coach says as he gets excited. "Bring it in guys, Chase we all know it's important to move without the ball but you have to defend your opponent. You cannot let them make shots on you, make them feel uncomfortable enough not to get into their lane alright. LETS RUN THIS AGAIN BOYS!" Coach says as we all make are plays again.

All the guys are in the locker room getting ready for night classes or whatever they do. I really felt like seeing Alayna again but the fact that Chase keeps staring at me was causing me to punch him directly in the face. I'm putting on my shirt getting ready to head out but I was stopped by Chase walking over to me. "Yo Tatum, I hear you running around with my shorty again." He says while looking our  teammates behind him.

I laughed and started to gather my stuff in my bag. "You got lotta balls on dat court but you ain't got the balls to snatch up my shorty." He said making our teammates instigate in the background. "See that's the problem man. We see what you trying to do, but she's my shorty bruh." He says waiting on my response.

I close my locker and faced Chase so he understood me clearly. "Aight, you might wanna tell her dat, cause I know she feeling me bruh." I said making the others in the background instigate even more. "I wouldn't mind snatching her fine ass up." I say as the teammates laughs in the back. "I wanna see you try dat." Chase says as he gets in my face breathing heavy. "Yo we gotta problem?"

Brad said with his towel on from stepping out the shower, getting beside Chase if anything goes down. "Just tell ya mans stay away from my shorty, den there be no problem." Chase says as he back up off me and heads to the shower. "Yo ass been cheatin on her, cut the bullshit." Brad says making sure Chase heard  his every word. "You heard what I said Brad, don't let me catch em with my girl." Chase said as he heads off to the shower.

"Damn Jay didn't I tell you stop messing with home girl? Brad said and I sat on the bench. "You did, it ain't gone stop me though." I said proudly and grabbed my bag head out the locker room.

Did you think Chase was going to punch Jayson in the face?

What will happen with Jayson and Alayna's relationship?

Let me know what you all think! Please tell me what should I change to make this better.🙂
