"Yo David, wanna play a game?"
A classmate of David's asked him as he was trying to finish his project at lunch, he was the new kid at the school so everybody was trying to mess with him
"Naw not really" he said honestly while pushing his glasses up David loved projects, and he was good at them, he could write a paper about anything, he could even make it rhyme, he could rhyme a whole paper about the difference between mitosis and meiosis if he wanted to
"Why not? We finna go play ball? You still mad that you got benched yesterday?"
"I really don't care, can y'all go do what you were gonna do so I can study"
"Psh, this nigga studying, let's go since he wanna be a fucking scholar and shit" a bit said hitting him upside his head
"Don't be touching on me like that sticky" He said pushing his hand away "so you to good to be touched or something?" Sticky asked poking his shoulder
"Naw but you be picking yo nose all the time and I ain't tryna get sick, it's too cold out for that"
Some boys snickered as sticky looked st all of them "listen don't get punched in your mouth kid, I was trying to be nice and invite you to play with us since your new."
"And I said I didn't wanna play ball right now." He stared as all the boys looked st each other
They all began laughing a it before walking off, David was annoyed, as you could tell, but he was annoyed and sad, he was benched all game yesterday and it was the only game his father came to since he joined the team, so his dad wasn't very impressed with him, his mom couldn't make it because she was working longer shifts now
He's been practicing his game and it wasn't working. David got up from the lunch table and packed his stuff up and headed down to the court where the boys were, he didn't want to play with them, but he did want to play, he grabbed a ball from the bin and went down to the little court they had outside for recess and played by himself
David wasn't a social butterfly like everyone else, he liked being alone, he didn't need stone in his corner, he wanted someone in his corner though, but none of the boys ever liked playing with him because he was 'weird'
Which they only thought he was weird because they were all privileged, David couldn't afford the best clothes, or the best shoes, or really anything for that matter, his mom worked two jobs and went to school, and still didn't have Enough money to buy him any clothing that was in style even though she did try.
And he knew she was trying, he didn't care about his clothes, but apparently clothing can decide whether or it your cool in school.
He threw the ball into the net and ran over to get it, he turned around to hear loud talking on the big court, he saw a bunch of boys playing together and some talking to girls
He bounced the ball for a while while he continued looking st everyone else on the other court, he didn't understand why the bigger kids always got girls, who wants someone whose buff and only like 12?
