When I tell you it was awkward. IT WAS AWKWARD.
Nikki was sitting next to Adri in front of me, While Domo and Dior were on the other side of Jalen.
"Did I miss something?" Jalen asked me.
"Yeah. A lot. I'll tell you later."
"Alright." He nodded. "You played so good Kay. Like really. You're gonna go so far with this hooping stuff."
"Aww thank you my handsome boo bear."
"Your what?" He asked.
"That's gay." Jordan interrupted.
"Stay over there Jordan." I lightly pushed him away from me. "This is grown business."
"Suck my dick."
I snapped my head back at him. "Huh? What are you talking about?"
He scrunched up his face and looked back at Nimari, Jack, and coleman. "I was kidding. Chill out."
"Oh... yeah." I nodded as I turned back to Jalen.
"You're goofy." Jalen laughed.
"Is Bronny starting?" Adri asked me.
"Nah I don't think so. Ion even think his dad is at this game."
"I gotta get an autograph." I heard jack say.
"He's not coming." Josh spoke.
"Who's not coming?" Dior asked.
"Your mom." Jordan replied.
"Shut up. I don't take shit from lightskin niggas. I'll do you like Drake did Meek."
"But Drake was lightskin." Josh interrupted.
"Ni— Josh go back to eating your chips and leave me alone!"
I laughed as Dior and josh began arguing.
"Yo Bronny got them tight ass shorts on. Nigga finna get a yeast infection." I heard Dior say causing all of us to snap our heads to him.
"Bro what?" I asked.
"Jalen don't laugh. You probably got some yeasty balls."
"Oh my god." I covered my mouth as I laughed.
"Kay don't laugh. You be sucking them up."
My head snapped up. "Huh?"
"Sweaty balls, sweaty balls yeah that's you." Dior laughed.
Jalen smacked his lips.
"Aye Nikki you laughing but Brandon got sweaty balls too."
"Bro this is so gay." Josh shook his head.
"So Adri must suck your sweaty balls?" Jordan asked causing everyone to go silent.
"Bro what is going on?" Jalen asked.
"You don't even got a girl Jaden. Shut up." Dior replied.
"It's Jordan, and all I gotta do smile and Adri is mine." Jordan replied causing Dior to scoff.
"Change the subject." I shook my head. "Domo you been quiet."
"Just been thinking." She shrugged.
"Thinking bout me!" Jack shouted.
"Jack." Nimari nudged him.
"Brandon built so damn funny." Dior laughed. "Look at Amari and that big ass head."
"Niggas really roll their shorts up until we can basically see your balls." I laughed.
"What's wrong with that?" Josh defensively asked.
"Nobody wants to see those crusty guppy balls." Dior interrupted.
"You're doing too much. Just relax." Josh replied.
"I only wanna see it if Jalen's doing it." I shrugged.
"You can't see shit when he rolls them up anyway." Dior added.
"YO this man is gay!" Jordan shouted .
"Facts." Josh agreed.
"I didn't mean it like that." Dior tried to correct himself.
"Stop tryna steal my man. Sis." I laughed.
Dior sat back and crossed his arms. "I hate y'all."
"So Kay. What you doing this weekend?" Jack asked.
"Hanging with me." Jalen answered.
"Our first game is next Saturday. You coming?" Jordan asked.
"I might. I gotta see what coach has planned."
"You gotta come. I'm shooting the lights out." Nimari spoke as he flicked his wrist.
"Brick city." Dior coughed.
"Dior shut up." Nimari leaned over jordan to speak.
"Get off me!" Jordan pushed Nimari away causing me to laugh.
"Jordan you're so ugly. Look at you." Dior laughed.
"Dior. I know you're not talking. Long ass giraffe neck."
"Jordan. Please go get a shape up before you try to argue with me."
"If you have pajamas on. Just shut up."
I laughed as Dior flipped him off.
"They're comfortable."
"No drip. At all. Niggas wearing hats with pajamas."
I laughed as Dior mumbled stuff to himself.
"At least my jeans aren't tight. The kids floating around in your balls are gasping for help."
"What is going on?" I asked with a disgusted look.
"Dior you gotta go." Josh shook his head as he scooted closer to Jalen.
"Y'all can get away from me." Jalen pushed josh away. "I don't know what's going on at Mayfair but I don't want no parts in it."
"Can you guys stop?" Domo blurted. "You're annoying."
"Shut up Domo. Go sit somewhere else. Your negative energy is weird." I heard Dior say.
"You go sit somewhere else. You're the main one being annoying." She replied.
"Why don't you go some where. Walking around like somebody pissed on your popcorn or something."
"Damn." I mumbled.
"Yo y'all ever cry when you listen to that song by Drake where he's talking ab—"
"Just shut up." Dior interrupted jordan.
"Man fuck you."
•
After consistent arguing between Dior and Jordan I was tired. Literally.
There's only so much you can take.
"I'm ready to gooo." I groaned.
"Same." I heard Jalen say. "Dior was yelling in my ear."
"Jordan was yelling in mine." I laughed.
I saw the boys starting to come out from the locker room. I was excited for them and their first win.
"Good game BJ." I grinned. "You played so good."
"Something simple." He laughed.
"Hey baby." I heard Nikki say. They hugged as Dior stood there with his arms crossed.
"I guess you played okay." Dior mumbled.
"Hey B!" I cheesed. "You played so good."
He wrapped his arms around me and I heard Jalen laugh.
"Alright Bronny." I laughed.
"10 points. Niggas happy over 10 points." I heard Dior say. Hes so negative.
"Damn Zaire where's your dad at? I know I seen him lurking around." I asked. Dwayne Wade was somebody who's kids I'd carry for sure.
"You're weird." He shook his head.
"I'm playing. You played good though. Where's Ziaire and Amari?"
"Being slow." I heard Brandon say.
"Where were you yesterday? You didn't answer my calls." I heard Nikki whisper to him.
"Yikes." I mumbled.
"I was out, and about." He answered.
"Oh." She nodded.
Adri awkwardly stood there was we all talked.
"Y'all going to the party?" Zaire asked.
"Nah." I shook my head. I knew about a party but I don't really fuck with parties.
"Let's go Kay. Pleeeease." Dior begged.
"I'm not your mom." I rolled my eyes as he pulled on my arm.
"Josh and I need a ride."
"Josh is damn near a grown man."
"Shut up Kay." Josh replied.
"A quick ride. Pleeeease."
"Fine Dior."
•
"I didn't agree to this." Josh scoffed as he sat between Adri and Dior in the back seat. "I'm too thick to be back here."
"Oh well." I shrugged as I started the car up.
"Jalen is so skinny. Why can't he sit back here?"
"My body's too long." Jalen answered.
"Give me a break." Josh mumbled. "Come on dude."
"Who said you could wear that?" I heard Dior ask.
"It's a body suit." Adri asked.
"Even though we're not friends. I'm stomping on any nigga that looks at you wrong."
"Ok Dior." She sighed.
I laughed as josh groaned and complained.
"Did you take a shower Kay? It stinks in here." I heard Dior ask.
"Bitch." I mumbled. "I took a shower. It's then damn pajamas you're wearing."
"Don't hate on the drip."
"So what happened between you two?" Jalen asked. Directing it towards Dior and Adri.
"Some stuff." Dior answered. "Ask Brandon why he's got a black eye."
"He doesn't have a black eye though."
"Ask him why he's GONNA have a black eye."
"Dior can you not? Brandon's not even in the wrong. He was trying to help me!" Adri interrupted.
"See this is why I should've sat in the front." Josh mumbled.
"How? Helping you by taking you out?"
"If you'd listen to me then you'd know that we were talking about my problems, my feelings. I talked to him and apologized for accusing him of making the rumors. We talked about his girlfriend. We talked about you. It wasn't anything bad. I'm sorry I didn't answer your calls. I'm sorry I didn't text back. My phone was in my bag and it was on vibrate. I just needed to talk to somebody and he was willing to listen. I'm sorry Dior."
"It's getting awkward in here." Jalen mumbled.
"Why can't you talk to me about things? Why do you gotta talk to Brandon?"
"I don't want you consistently skipping school to come over here. I want you to stay in school Dior. You're never at school you're always here. It's not that I don't want you here but you gotta be more focused!"
"You couldn't talk to me on the phone?"
"Talking on the phone is way different than in person Dior."
The tension in the air was THICK.
I felt like I needed to cough but it was so uncomfortable in the car that I just held it in.
"I'm sorry Adri." I heard Dior say. I almost lost my mind when he said that. Dior apologizes?
"You don't have to be sorry. You didn't do anything."
"I could've let you explain everything to me. It just looks so sketchy when you're with him."
"I know and I'm sorry. Brandon and I decided that we weren't gonna talk anymore because it's disrespectful to you and Nikki. I understand though if you don't wanna be with me anymore."
"Who said that?" Dior chuckled. "Come here."
"STOP!" Josh shouted before I heard kissing noises. "HELP! CAN YOU GUYS RELAX? THE SEXUAL TENSION IS JUST TOO HIGH!"
•
"Damn." I mumbled as some girl twerked her booty off in front of bronny. "Ew."
"He's so weird." Jalen laughed.
"He's too young for her. She graduated my freshman year and is damn near 20. I should go drag her." I scoffed.
"Damn you leaving me for Bronny or something?" Jalen laughed.
"Never." I chuckled. "But the way the senior girls talk about Bronny is disgusting. Like at the end of the day he is a 15 year old boy."
"Don't do nothing." Jalen grabbed my hand. I was really about to go drag this girl. It was gross.
"It's weird Jalen. Like she's 20 dancing on a 15 year old boy."
Jalen sighed before letting go of my hand.
I walked over to them as she grinded on him. "Bronny. Let's go."
"Heyyy Kay." He smiled. Ole girl stood up straight and glared at me. "I missed you."
"Who's this?" She asked.
"This is like my wife, well nah. Kinda like my step sister."
I shook my head as I grabbed Bronny's hand.
"Why you grabbing on him like that?" Ole girl asked.
"Please worry about yourself." I replied.
"Where we going?" Bronny asked.
"You know she's old right?"
"How old?"
"20. Don't be letting these grown ass women take advantage of you Bronny. They only see your name."
"Excuse me?" I heard her say.
"You're excused. Go dance on somebody your own age."
"Sis worry about yourself. You the feds or something?"
"Bitch. Did I not say you're excused? You're weird as fuck. Hanging around dancing on 15 year old boys."
"It's a 5 year difference."
"So if a 15 year old girl was dancing on a 20 year old boy that would be okay?"
"That's different."
I rolled my eyes before continuing to walk back to Jalen.
"I didn't know she was 20."
"Well duh." I chuckled. "She's too damn old to be on you."
"Damn Kay. Don't look twice." Bronny chuckled.
"What are you tal—" I stopped myself as I saw Kaitlyn standing in front of Jalen.
