It's a new day and basket ball training begins. With the two guys, Xavier( ex-captain) and Tyron( new captain). Will they cooperate or not? Especially with the jealousy that is building up between the two.
Rashell picks some books from her locker. In a pink t-shirt and jeans with boots, Xavier pulls the band out of her hair.
" Xavier! Geez.."
" Come watch me play for it."
" Fine."
She walks to class, lays her books on her desk and moves to sit next to Sun.
" Hi what's going on?"
" Nothing much..."
" Hi Rashell"
" Hi."
" Can we talk? Just for a second."
" Sure."
Rashell excuses herself to talk to Tyron.
" Come and watch me play and you owe me a date after training."
" Deal "
" Deal ."
They giggle and she moves back to sit next to Sun.
" What's going on between you two?"
" Nothing."
" Are you sure?"
" Yep."
" Are you flirting with them?"
" Who and who?"
" Sticky note and bully."
"Tyron is not a bully and Xavier is not..."
" A sticky note? Gosh he is."
Natania joins.
" Heyya."
" Hi Tania. Isn't Xavier a sticky note?"
" Well he is sometimes."
" He's just a friend, it's been long so he's trying to make up for all those years."
" Or he is in love with you."
" Sun ...how can you say that?"
" She's right. Rashell, anyone can tell he loves you."
" And who do you like? Tyron or Xavier?"
" Who do you think it is?"
" Is this a puzzle for me to solve?"
" Yep."
" You finally spilled it. So you like one of them."
" Never said that."
" You're crushing on one of them."
" Never said that too ."
" Then what do you expect us to think?"
" I don't know."
" Geezzzz.... you're annoying. Just go and sit at your place if you won't say a word."
" C'mon Sun, I'll tell you all about it from the scratch one day but for now, you two will have to solve the puzzle."
Miss Sydney walks in.
" Everyone to your rightful places."
" Lets talk later."
" Sure."
" With you telling every detailed thing we're missing."
She giggles and moves to her seat.
" Where are the boys?"
" At the court."
" Lets get to business then."
Class starts without the boys and two hours later, it ends.
" Tell the guys i'll take their work tomorrow."
" Sure."
As they troop to the cafetería, the boys are training but Xavier is doing too much. He's trying to be the best and Tyron who is already pissed just finds Xavier more annoying.
Few minutes later, they join the others at the cafetería. Rashell is enjoying her cookies and juice, Sun is drinking pineapple juice with a slice of cheese cake and finally Natania enjoying her juice box.
" What's up our lovely girls?"
" We're good." Rashell comments
" How was training?"
" Not bad. Except someone was over doing things to bring back old days."
" Exactly."
" Who?" Rashell curiously asks.
" Xavier."
" I see."
" Want anything to eat?" Natania says changing the topic.
" We're good. Darwin wanna eat?"
" I'm good too."
After break, they walk to class happily.
Class
Mr. Kirk walks into teach Trigonometry under Maths.
" Hey Tyron, you good?"
" Yh. Just angry."
" At??"
" Since when did you care?"
" When you started to ignore me. We sit together but it's like i'm invisible."
" That's because you're clingy."
" Why are you being mean when i'm just trying to be nice?"
" That's because i'm not in a good mood."
" But still...Talk to me ."
" Beverlyn please...just stop the act. Its annoying." He growls
" With Sine, its Opposite/ Hypotenuse. I Hope its clear. SOHCAHTOA so in that order. Cos is Adjacent/ Hypotenuse and Tangent is Opposite/ Adjacent..lets take examples."
Two hours of Maths and an hour of English.
" Beverlyn! Beverlyn!"
" What is it?"
" I'm sorry for being rude to you earlier in class."
" Okay. Bye."
" Wait I'm not done. Thanks for caring about me too."
" Hmm... someone is changing."
" Ah well, maybe it's just time to change."
" Or... is there someone behind the change in attitude?"
" No, no,no... I know where you're heading to."
They laugh.
" Huh!! Can we be friends? Just friends, no clingy behaviour."
" Mm..do you really want an answer?"
" Yes."
" Then it's a yes." He smiles
" Huh! I knew It. You can't say no to an Oswald."
" Interesting. How about i change my mind now? Mmmm?"
" You gotta be kidding me."
They laugh and Beverlyn stretch-forth her hand but Tyron pulls her into a big hug.
Rashell walks out just to see Tyron and Beverlyn hugging. She ignores and heads to the court. Tyron and Beverlyn let go of eachother.
" I'm glad we are friends now."
" So what are you going to do now?"
" Have a girls night with Franka."
" Franka?? Since when did you two get along to think of friendship??"
" Since the day I realised how lonely I was."
" That's sad."
" Hi Tyron."
" Hi Franka."
" Tyron and I are friends now."
" That's good. Can we be friends too?"
" Of course."
Tyron hugs her and finally the trio hug.
" Gotta go for training. I'm running late."
" Do you want us to come and watch you play?"
" It's fine. Just go home and rest. See you two tomorrow."
" Bye."
Court
Tyron warms up and joins them. Playing, he sees Rashell on one of the chairs watching them play.
He tries to do his best to impress her but her eyes are fixed on Xavier only. He guesses by taking a good look at the direction of her eyes.
Xavier tries to control Tyron telling him when and who to throw the ball at. Tyron has no idea of what Xavier is up to but tries to play it cool.
The coach notices the tension heating up and calls the training off.
" Y'all come closer. "
They all move to the coach's direction.
" It's a friendly training you're having here but on the day,it's gonna be a competition so you all have to cooperate. Xavier I don't want you telling someone what to do, just play it cool and signal. You all should go home. One, two, three.."
" Malins!!!!!" They roar.
Tyron takes his training bag and walks to Rashell who is standing."
" You came."
" Yh I did."
" Are you okay?"
" Yes."
" I'm glad you came Rashell. Especially when I asked you to come."
Tyron says in his head,
" So was she here because of him? And did we both ask her to come watch us?"
" I couldn't disappoint you. You too, Tyron."
Tyron smiles.
" You can have your hair band now."
" Thanks."
" Shall we?" Says the boys at the same time.
They turn to look at eachother.
" What's going on here? She's taking me out."
Tyron croons at himself.
" Tyron are you alright?"
" Yh."
" Since you both want to take me out and I can't turn down any then...."
Xavier retorts, " Do you mind joining us?"
" Oh you two should go and have fun."
" Alright."
" Tyron let's all go together. Please."
" No. You two should go and have fun. Another time."
" Maybe he's got something to do so let's go."
" Exactly."
" I don't believe you Tyron."
Rashell drags the two boys with her out of the court. Rashell leads the way to an ice cream section in the supermarket.
