Deja | Dee

I woke up to the sound of notifications coming on my phone.

"Dee come get breakfast" my mom yelled from downstairs.

I slowly walked downstairs and greeted my mom who was fixing her plate.

"So what you got planned for the day" she asked.

"Nothing really" I said taking a bite out of one of my pancakes.

"You know you can be applying for some jobs now that basketball season is over"

"Yea I know I already applied to 3 places and have an interview scheduled this week" I explained.

"What job?"

"Target, they were the only ones who got back to me."

I was really hoping that I got this job at target because they paid really good. It would also keep me busy.

"Well we're gonna pray that you get the job" she said.

I finished eating and went back upstairs to my room and did my daily morning routine.

I sat down at my computer desk and went to designing. I got another text on Instagram from Jay asking me can I meet him at the park for a hoop sesh.

Knowing that I can never turn down a hoop sesh I decided to go ahead and go. I texted Makayla and told her where I was gone be at in case I went missing or something.

I went and threw on some spandex, red gym shorts, a white t-shirt, and a pair of my Kyries.

I walked downstairs, told my momma where I was going and headed out.

I pulled up to the park and before I could get out, I heard a knock on my window. Seeing who it was, I rolled my window down and rolled my eyes.

"Boy don't do that. You gone get shot out here doing that" I said with a mug.

"I was just messing with you" Jay said laughing.

Messing with me, you gone get messed up.

"Whatever" I said getting out my car and grabbing my basketball from my trunk. "You ready to get this whooping"

"Who?" He said with a shocked face.

Luckily it was barely anyone on the basketball courts so we had a court to ourselves.

"You. Let's go 1v1. I get ball first" I said.

•••
"You cheated" he said after I won the game.

"That's what losers say" I clapped back.

"I let you win" he lied.

"Boy hush. Just take your L" I said.

"Aye you tryna go get some food or some" he asked.

I knew it was coming.

"Umm hold on" I said walking back to car. I quickly called Makayla for some advice knowing that I could talk to her about anything.

"Hey so how bout Jay just asked me to go get some food with him, should I go?" I said as she answered the phone.

"Girl just go but take your own car to be safe" she said.

"Bet. Bye girl thanks" I said before hanging up and walking back to the courts.

"Yea I'll go" I told him. "Where we going? I can just meet you there"
