Ball Or Nothing

(26.)

So Gelo shoplifting 🤔. Not sure how I feel about this 😕. Peep Zo though 💀.

Jordan

I walked back to Melo's car in gray joggers, a blue LA Dodgers cap, and a black long sleeve. I had on black Nike huaraches.

I got back into the passenger seat. He began to drive once again. We reached his house. He turned off the car and got out. I got out as well.

We walked into his house, walking past some boxes.

"What's all this stuff?" I ask.

"Jordan!" I hear.

I look up to see Lonzo.

"Zo!" I exclaimed.

He hugged me. I hugged Dmo as well.

"What's up guys?" I say.

"Nothing much. You?" Zo asked.

"Chilling." I reply.

He nods, grinning.

"So uh...what is all of this stuff?" I ask.

"Melo, you didn't tell her?" Zo asked Melo.

"Tell me what?" I say.

"We're moving." Melo said.

My jaw dropped.

"Huh?" I say.

He shook his head, walking away from me. Lonzo laughed.

"So the story goes that my father has been getting way too much attention at this house; people coming to the door periodically for pictures and all that, whatever. So he wanted a bigger space, more private." Lonzo explained.

"Oooh. That's makes so much more sense. Thank you Lonzo!" I exclaim loud enough for Melo to hear.

"Shut up." He said.

I roll my eyes.

"I see you're still running around with Ramen Noodles." Zo commented.

"Yeah. Sadly, he was everywhere today. Everywhere I turned, there he was." I say, shaking my head.

He laughed.

"How were the tryouts?" He asked.

"They were great. I made the team." I say.

"Atta girl!" Dmo cheered, high fiving me.

I giggle.

"That's what's up." Lonzo said, hugging me.

I smile.

"I know Brook must be very proud." He said.

"He doesn't know yet." I say.

"Oh. Are you gonna surprise him?" He asked.

"Maybe. When coach gives me the jersey, then I'll show it to Brook." I say.

He nods, considering my idea.

"Well good luck." He said.

I nod.

"I'm bout to go pick up Denise then we're gonna make our way to the other house. I'll see you there later." He said.

I nod once again.

"Alright cool." He said.

After that, him and Dmo walked away. I made my way upstairs to Melo's room. He had boxes stacked on his bed.

"Woah." I say.

"Nice of you to join me." He said.

I shrug, finding an empty spot on his bed. I sit down and pull out my phone.
