Later that night

C.J
It was after dinner and I just got out the shower. I put some clothes on and went to Zion's room.

Aye bro can I halla at you real quick

Zion- yea what's up

What you doing tomorrow after school

Zion- probably hanging with the boys why

I was wondering if you could do me a favor

Zion- depends

Can you come to practice with me tomorrow

Zion- for

We might need a new Wide Receiver and I-

Zion- Fuck naw man, I told you I was done with that

I know but come on dog you was the best receiver we ever had. We need you.

Zion- look I lost my passion for the game a long time ago. And I'm not trying to be on no bullshit ass team again especially with that new coach

Look it's different now and the coach is pretty cool. Look can you at least show up to practice and watch.

Zion- I'll watch but that don't mean I'll be playing with y'all.

That's all I ask

I walked out and to my room. At least it wasn't a no

Next day

Camille

D'Red- hey how you doing

I'm good, what you want

D'Red- I don't want anything

Yeah right

D'Red- I just wanted to talk to you

About

D'Red- anything, I just want to get to know you

I don't know about that

D'Red- look here's my number, and if you ever change your mind just shoot me a text

Ok

He put his number in my phone then handed it back. He winked at me then left

Miracle- ok then girl, get you one

It's not even like that

Miracle- girl please that boy is feeling you

He's just a player and besides I have a boyfriend

Miracle- girl please I'll trade him in a second

Why!

Miracle- Girl Devion is not good for you and you know it. I keep getting that feeling, something ain't right about him. You have to let him go

I put my head down because she's right but I can't let I'm go. I love him

Zion
All day Miracle has been trying to talk to me but i wasn't trying to hear it.

Miracle- Zion can you please talk to me

What

Miracle- you just gonna ignore me
