Power Trippin' (Editing)

Chapter 3

Carrick's POV

I saw her go up to her parents, and I'm guessing siblings. Even after her game, she managed to stay beautiful.

I just couldn't get over the fact that she whooped Tammy's ass. Dace, Quez, Eric, and me laughed our fucking heads off. But, it kinda turned me on. Seeing my girl out there whooping ass over the sport she love .. wait, did I say my girl? That's not what I meant .. I meant ole' girl.

"CJ, did you hear me?" Coach Red asked.

"Huh, what?" I replied, coming out of my daydream.

"I said, I want ya'll to do ya'll best. And, KEEP YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME." He said.

"Oh, alright. Gotcha." I said. "BLUE JAYS ON 3! 1,2,3! BLUE JAYS!" my team yelled.

----------

It was the 4th quarter. 2 and a half minutes remaining. Our team was up by 10 points, but ain't no telling if the falcons were gonna come back. No lie, they was good.

I wanted to win this game, so I stayed focused. It was my last game of my high school year. I wanted to make my parents proud, who were in the stands, with their faces painted blue and white to show Cole High Pride.

And, plus the scouts were out there, and I already felt like they were gonna come up to me after the game.

I sat on the bench, drinking gatorade, while Coach Red was explaining to us what to do.

I looked up to see ole' girl, playing with 2 twin babies, and smiling her ass off. I couldn't help but smile, too.

"What the fuck you smiling bout, CJ?" Quez asked, noticing my grin.

"Nun, bruh damn." I replied, looking at Dace, who was already laughing. I couldn't help but laugh too.

Time out was over, and we were back on the court. My team had the ball, and I hit a 3. The crowd roared, including a couple Falcons.

We won the game. Scouts everywhere. I had three around me, Dace had two, Quez had two, and Eric had two. My boys. We hit it off, tonight.

We quickly got their business cards, and got our stuff to leave.

"MY BOOOOOOOY!" My daddy yelled after I got my stuff.

"Wassaup Pops!" I said, after giving him a hug, then hugging my mom.

"I seen yo ass talking to them scouts, nigga betta make me proud." My dad said, grinning.

"Of course I will, my name CJ, ain't it?" I replied.

"Nigga, yo name is Carrick."

"Daddy, chill." I said, laughing.

"Yeah, shutup, Kahili. I love my baby boy name. I'm just waiting for a baby girl, and boy named "Grandchildren." My mama said, kissing my forehead.

"Mama, you know I'm all about my school work and basketball." I said.

"I know, baby. Take your time, I'll wait. There go your boys, I think they wanna holla. Me and your daddy finna go home to handle some business, tho. See you later, baby." My mama said, hugging and kissing me once more.

"Bye, ya'll." I replied.

I started walking towards my niggas, when I accidentally bumped into somebody.

"Can you watch where you're going? Cause if --," She stopped talking, and looked at me.

I looked down at her to see it was that mysterious girl.

"My bad, shawty." I said.

"It's good. I ain't mean to say it like that. I just be having a temper at sometimes. I'm sorry, forreal." She replied, looking away.

"It's iight, ma. Forreal." I said.

She looked back up to me with her big, brown eyes and flashed a smile. Her teeth were so perfect, and she was so beautiful. I smiled back, showing my bottom, silver grill on my teeth. She blushed, and turned around.

"Well .. I gotta go. I got alotta studying to do." She said, quickly, trying to walk away.

"Hold up." I put my hand on her shoulder, turning her around.

"Wassap?" She replied.

"You had a good game out there." I said.

"Nigga, stop lying. I almost killed one of your team players." She said, laughing. I laughed, too. She was funny.

"Besides that. You a beast on the court." I said.

"Thanks, you good too. I ain't even gone lie, you iight ..... uh ....." She paused.

"CJ. My name's CJ." I replied.

"CJ. My name's Starr." She said, smiling.

"Starr. That's cute." I said, biting my bottom lip. She blushed, and turned her head away.

"Well, I don't wanna keep you from studying. I gotta study, too." I told her.

"Yeah, thanks. But, before I go, do you have a phone?" She asked.

"Yeah, here." I gave her my Samsung Galaxy, she gave me her Samsung Galaxy. Ironic. We had the same phone, same color and all. I saved my contact in her phone under CJ ♥. She typed in my phone quickly, and handed it back to me and said, "I enjoyed talking to you." and, with that, she walked away.

I looked at my phone to see she put her number in it. Contact saved as: Starr ♥ ..
