"I never knew a girl that can play." He said looking amused

"Momma says she doesn't know why I act different." I said taking some frosting too

"Your dad play?"

"No he works at a bank." I responded back

"Oh well my dad play for the clippers he say I'm gone end up being a doctor or lawyer. But I'm gonna be just like him same number and everything" He said looking proud

"I'm going to be number thirty-two, like Magic" I said smiling looking more proud

"He's alright but my dad can take him" He said shrugging making me raise my eyebrows and cross my arms

"What was the most points your Daddy ever got in Junior High" I asked

"I don't know , a lot" he shrugged

"One time Magic scored forty-eight points, and they only had six minute quarters and he sat out the whole fourth." I explained

"Wow you do act different" he said looking amused

"I don't care" I got another swoop of the frosting rolling my eyes

"Well, if anybody bothers you, you could just tell me cause I run this street."

"I'll just tell my sister Camille" I said

"She don't know how to box, I bet. My dad showed me how to fight like Ali." He start throwing punches playfully

"So, I know karate from Almighty Isis."

After a while they each starts doing karate kicks

"Ooouuu my hair you hurting me" I slapped Camille leg as she combed my hair for school in the morning

"Ohhhh that hu- hey hey hey yall stop I found your boxes of dresses Baylee" mom interrupted coming in the room pulling out a blue dress with white polka dots making me groan

"Noooooo mama I'm not wearing that" I said bout to cry

"You will grow out of this tomboy phase soon Baylee" She said as she caressed my face

"Oh yea the little boy from next door will be walking with you to school in the morning" she said walking out

As I walked out the door of the house Q stood there looking amused

As I picked my bike up from off the side and looked at him

"You wanna be my girl" He asked out of nowhere and I was taken back

"What I have to do" I asked

"Play ball , ride to school together and when u get mad at me I give you flowers"

" I don't like flowers so you can give me Twinkie's " I said and he nodded

It was a silence until he said something

"I think we have to kiss now" he said

"For how long" I asked

"5 seconds but we can go over there to do it" he said and we dropped our bikes and walked over there

"Ready?" He asked

I nodded and we kissed as he counted down 5 seconds

We nodded and walked back to our bikes

"Since you my girl now you have to ride on my bike" he said

"I don't wanna ride on your bike" I said

"Why not my dad drives my mom all the time" He said looking dumb

"Okay I don't have to do what you say" I said mugging him

"Man forget it then stupid" he said making me stop

"You're stupid. And your Daddy plays for the worst team in the NBA." I said laughing at him

"What?" he mugged me

"Last time they won, Dr. J. was a nurse." I said taunting him he dropped his bike and pushed me to the ground

I got back up and pushed him down then we started wrestling

"I'm breaking up with you we're done stupid" I yelled

"I don't care you ugly" he yelled back as we still wrestled on the ground

So as you can tell this book is based on the movie love and basketball 🙃
