Kiara's POV
I nudge him a bit. "You know you're kinda good at giving advice." I say with a smile. He pops his collar and dusts off his shoulders.
"Well ya know-"
"I take it back" I say laughing. I feel a vibration from my phone and pull it out of my pocket. The reminder I set for 10 minutes before practice just came through. "It's 10 minutes until practice, you should get going."
Solomon's POV
"It's 10 minutes until practice, you should get going." she says. The last thing I needed was to be late to practice with Coach Moses on my ass already. I looked down at my shirt and it was wet as fuck. I started laughing making Kiara look at me. I pointed at my shirt and she gave a small giggle.
How was it that she just got done crying, ugly crying at that, and she still managed to look beautiful? I've had a crush on Kiara since freshman year, and we're juniors now. I never tried to shoot my shot because she always seemed preoccupied or uninterested or wrapped around TJ's finger. So when I heard she was managing the freshman basketball team, I joined the team to try and get closer to her.
To be honest the only reason I'm the "star player" is because I worked my ass off to not get cut from the team, I made sure I was perfect at everything I did on the court. When game time came I played my best hoping to get her attention, it didn't work. When I got committed to Louisville University for basketball I saw that it as getting me the attention of other girls from school, but not hers. She said congrats, wished me well, then went on with her day. If it wasn't for me trying so hard to impress her, I probably wouldn't have the opportunities that I have now.
Snapping out of my train of thought I get all my stuff and wait for Kiara. She looks up at me with her eyebrows scrunched together and her nose wrinkled. She's the cutest little thi- okay now stop Solomon you sound like a lil fan girl. I look her in the eyes and give her my full attention.
"Go, Solomon, he won't care if I'm a little late. You on the other hand need to go. Like NOW."
Damn. I like the way my government sounds coming out of her mouth.
Kiara's POV
Why is he just standing there staring at me? The hell is wrong with him. I get up and push him gently yet firmly down the steps. He almost falls and I suppress a laugh as I shoo him. He looks up at me and gives me a nasty ass glare then bucks at me.
"Boy you don't want no smoke. Now go to practice before I have you running suicides for 40 minutes."
He shakes his head a me and laughs lightly, "You're something else."
"Yuhh, I know. Now byee." I say then turn around to get all my stuff. I hear him going down the stairs after a bit. When his footsteps get fainter, I sit against the wall and run my hand over my face. I just cried on Solomon Martin. The star player on the basketball team. The second finest dude at this bogus ass school. Man what the hell. I take out my phone to tell Destiny the tea.

I laugh to myself then start to make my way to the gym. TJ is my best friend, we've been cool since diapers. That's my ride or did for sure. Everyone swears we got something going on, but it's nothing like that. That's for sure my baby, but we aren't in any kinda relationship, we just chillin. I got there at like 3:13, praise The Lord I got there before 3:20 because walking in Coach seems to have a little attitude. On top of that Coach Moses looks scary, like he has the male version of a resting bitch face.
"Nice to see you Miss Miller, today we're gonna be working on free throws," he pauses then raises his voice," Because SOME people like to take big boy shots, but cant make SIMPLE free throws."
"I see I missed a lot at last nights game." I say. He turns to me and gives me a 'you think' face.
"Please never miss a game again, you're our good luck charm." he claps his hands, "All I need you to do is keep record of their makes, misses, and overalls." I nod "Oh and Miss Miller, Martin is gonna be helping you out today." When he turns around I shoot daggers at the back of his head. Its always something. Same shit different toilet. I take a deep breath and go up to the bleachers and make myself comfortable. Solomon stops at the bottom of the bleachers and smiles up at me. I quickly grab a pen from my back pack and throw it at him, hitting him in the face. He looks up at me and bucks at me.
"All buck and no bite. Come at me" I say, "And go get the clipboard from Coach."
He sighs and goes to get the clipboard. He returns and with the clipboard. As he treads up the bleachers my phone dings.

As I'm putting my phone away, waiting for practice to start I get hit in the face with a pen. I look over at Solo and get ready to slap the hell out of him.
"Mhm doesn't feel nice does it."
"Shut up before I break your pinky toes"
He was about to respond, but Coach interrupted him shouting to get everything ready for the start of practice.
