Caleb

Dribbling the ball down the court in a mock game, I pass the ball to Jason Carter, one of my teammates and best friend.

"Come on, Carter! Brown just passed you the ball! Shoot it already!" Coach yelled. As Jason shot the ball into the basket, the buzzer went off signaling the end of the game.

"Bring it all in, guys. Hustle, hustle, hustle." Coach clapped. "Alright men, this season will be the best season you have ever had. You guys will win the championship, and you will own the championship. Got that?" Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. "Alright. Hit the showers."

As I walked into the locker room, I took off my shirt, letting the cool air hit my chest. "Yo Jay, you did good out there bro." I dapped up Jason. "Thanks dude. You wasn't too bad yourself."

We joked around for a bit, as Tre' Holmes, the point guard, approched us. "Wassup y'all?" he dapped us up. "Nothin' much. Wassup with you?" I asked. "Just heard about this party at Robyn's place. Y'all going?" Robyn was one of my ex girlfriends. I doubt her ass will want me to show up to this party, but I do what the hell I want.

"Hell yeah, nigga! You know I'm going!" Jason said excitedly. Tre' laughed. "So you on board or not? Their should be some fine ass girls, and I know you like girls. Or are you gay?" Jason joked. "Nigga, I'm not gay! I'm going, shit!" I replied. Tre' jumped on my neck. "That's the nigga I know!" "Yeah, yeah. So when is this party?" I asked, grabbing my duffel bag and stuffing my dirty clothes into it.

"Saturday at nine."

With P. Reign's Drunk n' Fuck blasting through the speakers, I walked into the club as if I owned the place. As I looked around with all the people dancing, Robyn came storming up to me.

"What the hell are you doing here?" "Damn, a nigga can't walk through the door without you causing a commotion, huh?" I leaned against a nearby table. "No, a nigga shouldn't have walked in the door in the first place!" she sassed. "I was invited as a guest, Robyn. So just go back to whatever side of the club you came from." I started to walk away, seeing my boys. "Okay, but I'm going to ignore you the whole time!" "Great! I planned on doing the same."

Chuckling and shaking my head, I finally reached the guys.

"Dude, why was Robyn all on you like that?" Jason asked. "Man, she always sweatin' me. I can't never get a break." When Rae Srummerd's No Flex Zone came on, everyone went crazy. Everyone crowded onto the dance floor, and since I hate being in a tight space, I headed to the bar.

"Lemme get a Jack Daniels." I ordered. As the bartender took the beer out of ice, I watched this other girl at the end of the bar. Her red dress was stunning, and absolutely showed her small, curvy figure. Her hair was different. Curly, but not fancy curls. Just natural curls. Looking at her for a bit longer, I took a sip from the bottle. She was writing in some type of notebook or something. Why the hell did she bring a notebook to a party? She looked over at me and noticed me looking. I gave her a head nod with a smirk, and she quickly looked away.

"That's never happened before." I said to myself. Eying her for a while longer, I wanted to know if someone knew who she was.

"Hey, my man," I got the bartender's attention. "What's her name?" I pointed to down where she was. "I don't know, man. I've never seen her around here before." he answered.

"Aight, thanks anyway."

Paying for the beer, I hop off the barstool and approach her, tapping her on the shoulder.

"Wassup baby?" I smirked.
