Ayden
THE first quarter went by quickly, the rival team leading us with eight points as the scores were 18-10.
East View High, the team we were up against were our long-time rivals so a loss would be shameful especially after I invited Amelia to watch us play.
I honestly didn't think we could win. Our offense was great but so was their defense.
Their players were huge and had great height, there was no way in the hell one could drive through, our only hope was to shoot from the outside.
To my dismay I was proven wrong at the last quarter when Jason got a rebound, equalizing the scores.
We may actually win this thing, I thought to myself as I anxiously watched the match from the bench.
"Argh fuck!" Jason landed after the high jump for a rebound which had caused damage to his ankle as he fell on the fall, not releasing his grip on his ankle.
The crowd gasped in shock as Coach called timeout and Jason was assisted to the bench by his teammates.
"Are you strong enough to play?" Coach asked Jason as he examined his ankle.
Jason nodded, wanting to stand up but only caused more pain to his ankle as he winced and immediately sat back down.
"We are screwed," Coach mumbled, his face buried in his palm.
"Coach I hate to say it but it's best we play Ayden, he's the only point guard that is strong enough to take them on," Jason stated truthfully as all eyes averted to me.
Jason had found a way to persuade Coach to let me join the team but only on one condition, I wasn't going to play in the match which I gladly accepted.
I had told Amelia that I was the captain of the basketball team and when she asked why I wasn't playing, I responded with a smirk saying I got suspended for lashing out at the referee last game.
She believed.
I stared at Jason in astonishment but he looked at his palm, avoiding eye contact. The referee blew the whistle indicating the game was to commence.
Coach sighed in defeat, "Sanders, don't screw this up."
With thirty seconds on the clock and the rival team leading with two points, we had to act fast.
Austin moved with the ball wanting to drive in but the defense was too tight. Our only hope was to shoot from the three-pointer range.
"Pass, I'm open!" I called out with my hands out, Austin hesitated for a second but had no choice but to pass the ball.
I caught the ball with ease, quickly finding my balance, and with ten seconds on the clock, I released the ball into the air. The ball went straight into the net just as the buzzer went.
A huge crowd formed around the court as I was cheered. Even with all these praises and attention, my eyes were only focused on her hazel ones.
She ran up to me with that pretty smile and I engulfed her in a hug, spinning her around happily.
"You won," She beamed at me excitedly as I dropped her on the ground and we pulled away from the hug. My gaze unconsciously drifted to her lips, she still maintained her gorgeous smile.
Oh, fuck it.
My lips collided with Amelia's, I closed my eyes and focused on the taste of her lips on mine. The crowd around us seemed to have disappeared and the only person in the room was Amelia and me.
My lips molded with hers, savoring every moment of the kiss which unfortunately didn't last long as I was pulled from her and carried by my teammates who cheered and praised me.
"Night party at Ayden's!" Jason yelled out causing the large crowd to cheer even louder.
