Melo POV:
I wake up and feel like my body has been ran over by a truck. I get up and go to the bathroom to take a shower. After my shower I get dressed and go downstairs. I go to the kitchen and my mom hands me a piece of toast and my medicine.
"Thanks ma." I say as I take my medicine and eat my toast
"Your welcome baby" She says
I kiss her cheek and go back to my room. I grab my backpack and head out. I decide to walk to school since it's a nice day. When I get to school I go to the gym and wait for everyone else to arrive.
"Hey Melo" Javontae says as he walks in the gym
"Hey" I say as he hugs me
"How you feelin?" He asks
"I'm feeling much better" I tell him
"That's good, you sure you don't need anything." He asks
"No, I'm fine." I say with a smile
"Okay" He says with a smile
We spend the next 30 minutes just talking and playing ball.
"Damn, it's hot as hell in here." Javontae says as he takes off his shirt
"Yeah, it is." I say
I still get mesmerized every time he does that. The bell rings and we head to class. We go our separate ways and we go to our classes. When I get to class, the teacher tells us that we're working in our groups today.
"Ok guys, I want you to write a paragraph about the character you chose to study. You'll have the rest of class of class to work on the assignment and it's due on friday." The teacher tells us
"But Mrs. Meredith, Friday is game day" Kenndi says
"Well then you better get to work" Mrs. Meredith says with a laugh
That's when it hit me. Javontae's first basketball game is on Friday. I'm so happy for him. I'm most definitely gon be there, sick or not.
"Sooo, what do y'all wanna start with?" Saniya asks
"Umm, maybe we can start with the research part." Kennedi suggests
"I agree, we have to find some key things about our character and we can write a summary to work from. Let's find three key things about our character and then we can each research one of those three things. Then when we get ready to write we just put the information in order." I say
"That works" Kennedi says
"Yea, that's a good idea." Saniya says
We spend the rest of the period doing research and writing notes. When the bell rings we get our stuff and head to our next class. We go our separate ways and I go to my next class. I spend the rest of the day in class, until lunchtime comes around. I sit down at our table and wait for everyone else.
"Hey Melo" Saniya says as she sits down
"Hey" I say
"Where's Javontae and Kennedi?" Saniya asks
"They went to get food." I tell her
"Okay" She says
Javontae POV:
After we get our food we go to the table and sit down. We eat our food and talk about random shit.
"So how do you guys feel about the basketball game on Friday?" Tre asks
"It's gon be good" I say
"You nervous?" He asks
"A little bit, but imma be fine." I say as I look at Melo "As long as my baby over here gon be there"
