"Please!" Schlatt yelled over the phone.
"I don't understand why you want me to go so badly." Lydia sighed as she changed.
"Because I need someone actually good at basketball to be there."
"Isn't one of those group chat guys a basketball player?"
"Let me rephrase; I need someone actually good at basketball to be there."
"Fine. But I need to be back by four." She sighed as she headed towards her front door.
"Perfect, I'm already outside!"
"I know." She said as she opened her front door and waved to him when she saw his car. Lydia hung up the phone as she locked her front door before heading to Schlatts car.
"This is why you forced me to ride in the back, even after I called shotgun!" Lydia heard someone shout as she climbed in the passenger seat.
"Lyd's made a bet with me and now she has shotgun privileges forever." Schlatt explained as he put the car in drive. "How'd you know I was outside?"
"We've known each other for like our entire lives, I know you like the back of my hand, J." Lydia said.
"Hi, I'm Isaac." The guy who complained about not getting shotgun said. "That's Nick and that's Tanner." He said pointing to the two guys next to him.
"I'm Lydia." She smiled back at the three. "I thought there were more of you?"
"Larry and Blake drove separate, they're meeting us there." Schlatt said.
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
"Last time we played baseball, now we're playing basketball." Schlatt said to the camera. Lydia grabbed a basketball off the rack and threw it at his back before turning away from him and looking at her nails trying to act innocent. Tanner followed suit when Schlatt looked to Lydia. He threw a basketball at his back before looking away. "Next person to throw a basketball at me is getting one baseball pitched at their head."
"Try me bitch." Isaac said before throwing one at Schlatt. The two chased each other around the court before they finally stopped.
"Well, well, well...look what the pussy car dragged in." Tanner said turning to the two people walking in.
"Schlatt told us to go buy some basketballs." The shorter one with long hair said. Nick started laughing as he handed the camera to Lydia.
"What?" The taller one asked, confused.
"There's already basketballs here. A whole rack." Nick said as he calmed down.
"What the hell schlatt!" The taller one shouted as he threw a basketball at the man.
"Stop throwing balls at me!" Schlatt shouted. "Anyway, that's Blake and that's Larry. But call Blake yumi on camera."
"Got it. I'm Lydia." She said as Isaac took the camera.
"So, here's the plan; one v one's , five minute rounds, one round each, tournament style. Winner gets...fifty bucks." Schlatt said causing everyone to cheer. "First round, Tanner vurses Nick."
Isaac was in charge of the camera as everyone else sat on the bench while Schlatt reffed. Lydia sat next to Blake. Larry sat at the bottom of the benches, acting like a coach. "How do you know Schlatt?" Blake turned to ask Lydia.
"I met him in middle school." She told him.
"Really? Did you move down here with him?"
"In high school my dad got offered a job in Texas so we moved down here, me and Schlatt kept in contact, but he didn't know what part of Texas I lived in. So when he moved down here and I ran into him at the grocery I was surprised. How'd you meet him?"
"Through friends. Hey, you got any embarrassing stories of him from like middle school or something, so I can hold it over his head?"
She sat there for a moment thinking before she remembered something. "There was one time where he had pulled something in his leg at baseball practice and the next day when he was going downstairs he landed on the step wrong so he fell down the whole flight of stairs and caused everyone in front of him to fall too. He hates that story because the girl he fell on top of was his crush."
"That is...rough." Blake said with a small laugh.
"Lyd's! Come take over for Isaac, I need him to play Larry." Schlatt shouted. Lydia climbed off the bleachers and took the camera from Isaac so he could go play against Larry.
Blake sat on the bleachers as Tanner and Nick took over acting like coaches. As he sat on the bleachers he watched Lydia intently. When he first saw her he thought she was pretty, her voice was smooth, but he'd only just met her and he didn't fall for someone with one look. He didn't realize how long he'd been looking until Schlatt called him up to the court. "So because I'm bored and don't feel like watching anymore basketball games Tanner and Larry get fifty bucks and whoever wins this gets fifty." Schlatt said as he handed Lydia the ball.
"Are we actually trying or are we just fucking around?" Lydia asked.
"Little bit of both, but mostly try." Schlatt said. The two nodded and Lydia immediately began to run toward the goal. She shot and scored causing Blake to look dumbfounded.
"He didn't tell us to start!" He shouted.
"He didn't not tell us to start either." Lydia fired back as she passed him the ball.
"It's on." Blake said. He raced down the court and when he tried to shoot Lydia blocked his shot.
"Let's go Lydia!" Tanner shouted acting like a cheerleader with Larry and Isaac.
Blake looked to the camera with a shocked look on her face as Lydia made another shot behind him. Majority of the game went like that, but Blake made a few shots leaving Lydia to only win by a few points. "Thank you sir." Lydia said as she took the fifty from Schlatt. "That lady's and gents is how you swindle your way to fifty bucks." Lydia say showcasing her money to the camera.
