Author's POV
*basketball court*
Ricardo: *dribbles past some guy* *passes the ball to Marie*
Marie: *did a touch pass to chapa*
Chapa: *shoots and scores*
CoachJ: *blows whistle* Great practice everyone. Nice game De Silva
Chapa: *holds the ball under her arm* Thanks coach
CoachJ: Let's just hope the magic u use on that arm stays until the next game, if u know wat I'm saying
Chapa: *smiles* I've got charm coach, and I got 'em for days!
Coach: That's the spirit *leaves*
Chapa: *blows whistle* okay, team huddle everyone!
All: *huddle up*

At the viewer's bench
Bose: Look at her, she's doing great!
Mika: I know right? She's got this captain thing in the bag!
Bose: Coach J's decision ain't not have been better
Mika: That's a double negative but sure
Miles: And that guy, Ricardo, thinks so too.
Bose: What guy?
Miles: Him. He's really been hitting it with chapa lately. They're becoming close

All: *disperse from huddle*
Ricardo: Quite an arm u got there, cap
Chapa: Thanks Junior, I see my lessons on dribbling are doing u good
Ricardo: And ur shooting is awesome

Bose ran all the way from the seats to where chapa and Ricardo were and interrupted their conversation
Bose: Ofc it is, it's chapa, she's awesome
Ricardo: And you are...
Chapa: Junior, this is bose. He's with me *ruffles Bose's hair*
Ricardo: [To bose] Hey [To chapa] So, do u wanna practise with me on Saturday? And maybe have lunch after?

Before chapa could say a word, bose answered for her
Bose: She has work. Sorry
Ricardo: O-kay, how about say 10 minutes extra time of practice on school days
Chapa: I--
Bose: We have to go to work immediately after school so...it's not possible
Ricardo: Okay, I guess I'll see around school then. Bye De silva *walks away*
Chapa: Hey! It's "captain" to you Junior
Ricardo: *lifts his hands defensively* Sorry....de silva *winks at chapa*
Chapa: *smiles and shakes her head*
Bose: Your gonna tolerate him?
Chapa: I don't *bouncing the ball* He's getting double pushups tomorrow...and extra laps
Bose: I've got a bad feeling about that guy
Chapa: *tosses the ball on the ball rack* Why?

Mika and miles came and joined the conversation
Mika: Looks like someone has a crush~
Bose: I don't have a crush on chapa

They all turn to bose
Mika: I'm talking about Ricardo
Bose: Oh...I don't have a crush on Ricardo
Mika: I'm talking to chapa
Bose: Ohh...chapa doesn't have a crush on me
Mika: I'm talking about Ricardo!
Bose: Ohhh...chapa doesn't have a crush on Ricardo
Chapa: Bose is...right. Ricardo a great guy but uh he's not my type *sips water*
Miles: *scoffs* and what is?

Chapa looks at bose for a while then turns to the rest of the players on her basketball team. She looks back at bose and back to her friends
Chapa: I...don't know
Bose: But it definitely isn't Ricardo, right chapa?
Chapa: Sure, sure, whatever u say

Chapa walked away in deep thought with a blue towel wrapped around her neck. The others watched and followed after her to their lockers

In the mans nest
Ray: So I said to the waiter, "Hey! If u gonna crush on a guy, crush on me" and then she said--
Chapa: [Whispers to bose] How did this even start?
Bose: All I remember is us walking in talking about froyo
Chapa: Oh and about that-- I found a hair in mine so--
Ray: Hey! You two are disturbing! If ur gonna talk, talk somewhere else and let those listening listen. Like mika and miles
Miles: Actually, I'm not listening
Mika: Same, I zoned out the second I saw this post on EnvyGram *waves her phone* Georgie got a car
Ray: Ahh watever *leaves*
Miles: Why? She doesn't have a licence
Mika: It turns out, it's her 16th birthday gift that's 2 years early
Bose: Makes sense

Bose turned and saw chapa leaving
Bose: Where're u going sparky?
Chapa: I don't have to explain myself to you
Bose: Okay
Chapa: But If u must know
Bose: Which I do
Chapa: I'm meeting up with Ju-- Ricardo, at 5th street. We're going to Nacho Ball
Bose: What?! Why?!
Chapa: Is there anything wrong with me hanging out with my friends?
Bose: Friends? No. Ricardo? Yes!
Chapa: Okay what's ur deal with him?
Bose: My "deal" is that I dont trust him *folds his arms* Who knows what he could do to you?! As a matter of fact, I'm coming with you
