The Tutor | LaMelo Ball

𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝟷𝟸

After playing a couple of rounds of heads up, LaMelos friends leave because their parents are outside.

LaMelo gets up and sits across from me so we aren't squished on one side of the booth.

"When are you gonna tutor me? The finals coming up!" LaMelo states.

"Come over tomorrow if you want!" I say while going to my phone and texting my mom to see if she's okay.

She replies saying she stopped by the store.

I turn my attention back to LaMelo and he is on his phone.

"Hello?" He says into the phone. "No, I'm not home yet...why? Tell dad I said chill out I'm grown!"

LaMelo says a few more things to the person and then he hangs up the phone.

"Aye, get me a job here Daya!" LaMelo says while smacking my hand.

I smack his hand back.

"No," I reply. "You wouldn't be able to take it!"

LaMelo laughs. "I'm a beast at everything I do, the fuck!"

I roll my eyes before laughing at him.

"No you're not!"

"Name something I'm not good at!" LaMelo states.

"Math," I say as I sip my imaginary tea!

"Alright b-" LaMelo gets cut off by his phone ringing.

He ignores the call and keeps talking.

"I bet you I'll pass this weeks test without your help!" LaMelo says being hella cocky.

"If you get a better score then me then you're the best, okay?" I put my hand out so he could shake it.

"Deal," LaMelo immediately shakes my hand.

A few seconds later a girl walks into the Del Taco.

She holds her phone in her hand and she walks to our table her attitude clearly showing.

"Little boy!" The girl says sitting next to LaMelo. "Why didn't you answer my call?"

"My phone is on silent!" He replies.

She types on her phone and puts it to her ear.

LaMelos phone rings out loud and the girl makes a face at him that says 'you liar'.

The girl is clearly ready to fight him.

"I have been outside for you for twenty fuckin minutes! Wait till I tell your brother you had his girl waiting on your slow ass!" She states.

"Go ahead and tell him! Lonzo can't do shit to me!" LaMelo laughs.

I look at the two of them and LaMelo looks at me.

"This is my brothers girlfriend, Daniella, Daniella this is my girlfriend Daya!" LaMelo says with a smile on his face.

"Girlfriend?" I laugh nervously.

"Yeah, a girl that's a friend...with a space!" LaMelo replies sheepishly.

"Nice to meet you Daya, you're really pretty!" Daniella says to me.

"Thank you, you're pretty too!" I say to her.

"Do you need a ride home sweetie?" Daniella asked me once she sees that I'm going to be here alone.

I shake my head no.

"My mom should be here soon!" I reply. "But thank you!"

"No problem!" She replies.

A few seconds later a pair of headlights shine on us.

I look out the window and I see my moms truck.

"Oh my moms here!" LaMelo states while getting out of the booth.

Daniella looks at him confused.

"Your mom," she mumbles to herself.

I laugh and I follow LaMelo outside.

Daniella soon follows me.

By the time I make it to my car, LaMelo has my mom out the car and he is hugging her.

"I missed you Mrs.D!" LaMelo says while letting go of my mom.

She laughs and says ditto before signaling me to come on.
