"10 SECONDS SIMMONS" Coach yelled as I was making my way down the court to make the shot that would win the practice scrimmage we were having.

I ran down the court and shot the ball into the net with 2 seconds to spare. The ball rolled around the rim eventually making it into the net causing my team to win the practice scrimmage

"AYEE" everybody on my team yelled as they jumped up happily because Coach promised the winning team that they wouldn't have to do all the drills next practice.

"Simmons before you go in the locker room let me talk to you for a minute" Coach said gesturing to me

"Yeah Coach?" I said breathing heavily because all of the running I had just done running up and down the court

"Simmons you know you're my star player right? I need you here to win against those Pirates so I need to make sure you have your grades up. The last thing I need is my star player getting benched because his grades aren't up to par"

"Already ahead of you coach,I have straight A's as of now" I say with a smile

"Okay just making sure Simmons"he pats my back forgetting that I'm dripping with sweat and quickly wipes his hand on his pants causing me to laugh. "Go ahead and get cleaned up"

I nodded my head and ran out the gym and noticed that Aaron dude talking to his friends so I hid behind the wall so that they wouldn't notice I was there

"I got that girl,I can't even remember her name what was it? Star,Moon,Jupiter, Sun something like that to go on a date me. Ima play the little gentleman part on our date but she has no idea what's coming to her" he said laughing with her friends.

No matter how much I dislike Skye, he was just being straight up disrespectful for her. Even she didn't deserve that.

"Aye man, that ain't right. Did your mama not teach you to respect women? You just foul for that"

"Mind your business Simmons, nobody was talking to you"

"Still salty you ain't been off the bench in a game yet?"

I honestly wonder what Skye see's in this nigga. He's disrespectful and just straight up cocky for no reason.

"Man you trippin, let's get out of here"

I wondered if I should tell Skye about what I just heard but it's not like she likes me so she probably wouldn't believe me. She probably would think I'm trying sabotage her especially after what I said to her today about her best friend so I just shrugged it off.

I went into the locker room and got into a steaming hot shower. It's nothing like a nice hot shower after a long day of practice.

After I got out of the shower I lotioned up and got dressed before making my way out of the building.

"Do you need me to walk you home?" I heard Aaron ask Skye

She put a smile on her face, before gazing at him
"Sure I'd like that" she said with the smile never disappearing from her face.

I scoffed after hearing and seeing them, it's the fact that he's playing her like she's a toy and no female deserves that. They deserve to be treated like a queen.

Skye was actually pretty. If she wasn't so stuck up, I actually might like her. Sometimes the baddest females have the worst attitudes and it takes away from their whole appearance.

•••

"MAMA YOU HERE" I yelled once entering my house.

"MAMA" I yelled looking around for her but of course I got no response.

Of course my mama isn't here. Lately my mama is never here and it seems like I'm always in the house by myself. It makes me wish I had one of those parents that hover over you,at least then they're there.

I sighed walking up to my room and laying in the bed staring at the ceiling while throwing my ball up and down.

I guess I can text Skye now to work on our project, it's not like I have anything else to do.

Taylor💗:You busy?

Me: Not really,wassup?

Taylor💗: I'm just bored lol,you wanna ft?

Me: yeah, cool with me

Taylor was my crush from Freshman year that I ended up getting over pretty quickly. It seems like right after I got over it she started to like me But she got over her crush quickly too. We became friends late sophomore year and she's like
my girl best friend now.

Incoming FaceTime Call From Taylor💗

"Hey bestie"  she said smiling. You could tell she was laying in the bed by the way she was positioned.

"Wassup" I said with a smile

"Have you started on that English project yet? I got partnered with that Aaron dude and I can't stand him" she said before rolling her eyes causing me to laugh

"Yeah I got partnered with that girl Skye and she's really difficult too. Took me like a week to get her number."

Taylor just starting laughing hysterically.

"Skye is difficult but she's actually really cool. I'm her lab partner and she always has me dying. Gets me in trouble half the time"

When I found out that Taylor was cool with Skye I got an idea. I didn't need Skye getting her feelings hurt before the project is due. I have no time for my grades to be dropping.

"Hey Taylor can you do me a favor?"

"Anything for my boy bestie, except kill somebody."

"Why you always gotta go there" I said before throwing my head back laughing "anyway I need you to tell Skye that you overheard Aaron saying that he was gonna use her. Skye can't stand me so she'll think I'm trying to sabotage them but I need a good grade on this assignment. The last thing I need is for my partner to get hurt"

"I don't know Marcus, I don't think that's my place either"

"Please"

"Fine, you know I can't say no to that face"

"Thanks bestie"
