We both barely had any sleep and spent the night chatting and laughing. May's mom came over more than once to tell us to go to bed, but we would only pretend to sleep for about ten minutes and then return to screaming at the top of our lungs. It was chaotic but in the best way ever. Not once did any thought creep in, and then we ended the night on a high note, watching the saddest movie ever and crying our eyes out.It was only when the sun was out that we retired to take a little nap before going out to the fun day May had planned for us.We were still tangled in the sheets when something small and heavy landed on my stomach. My eyes flew open, startled, until I felt tiny arms wrap around me.“Hey little man” I rub my eyes sleepily, it was May’s little brother “Leone what is your problem” May whined“I came to see Nova not you” he shunned her immediately making me laughHe was fully dressed in the tiniest black tuxedo I had ever seen, looking like a mini-sized prince.“You look so c
NOVAMy phone kept going off and I didn't have to look at the screen to know who was calling, it was my mom blowing off my phone and I had no intention of picking it up. May stretched her hand to grab the phone but I immediately slapped her hand off before picking up the phone and switching it off without looking.“She is probably just worried,” May said taking a scoop of her ice cream and shoving it into her mouth, we were at the ice cream place May dragged me to after the awful game, and eavesdropping on them in the locker room“I told her I would be back, it isn't even ten” I rolled my eyes“And people would call me the mean one” she shook her head“Because you are” I laughed before she spoke again her phone rang cutting her off“Oh shit” she cursed as she stared at the screen“Who is it?” I asked“It is my mom” she showed me her phone screen showing her mom's name displayed on the screen as it rang.It was past her curfew already.I let out a snicker as she took in several deep br
DYLANI didn’t say a word and just listened to Stanley run his mouth and call me all sorts of names. I wasn't going to indulge him, it took a lot from me to say no to the offer. I wanted to take it and run into the court instead of looking like an embarrassing blob on the bench but it just didn’t feel right. I just felt like I had to go through with it, the guilt was already eating me up and how would I be able to survive it if I didn’t complete the punishment?And even with knowing what the team felt like I wasn’t going to do it regardless. Eliott kept glaring at me from the corner where he stood, he was pissed at me and I understood that because even after trying to speak to I refused so he had every reason to be angry. They lost the semi-finals to a team we always beat without breaking a sweat but not only did they beat us the gap in the points was embarrassing, we were a total mess on the court getting our asses dragged around.There was no saving them after the messy first half t

The bell rang making the teams that played against our school the winners, they cheered at the top of their voices while the school team looked dejected and extremely angry. They kept glaring at Dylan as they walked by even the coach stormed out before the game came to an end. A feeling crept up in my chest as I watched Dylan sit and act like there weren’t glares on him. He sat all alone until they all left before he got up and headed out too.“So satisfying to watch” May laughed “Right?” She asked, her eyes following Dylan as he walked out with his shoulders slumped. To me, it was sad to watch for whatever stupid reason I felt bad for Dylan“They would be cursing his ass out in that locker room” May laughed like she could picture it“We can go now, it is over,” I said “Are you not curious to see what’s going on in their locker room?” May grinned, leaning closer like she was about to tell me the best gossip“No,” I said quickly, shaking my head as if that could block her“Oh come on
From the start of the game, our school was losing, and by the time it was halftime, we were down by ten points. I needed something to take my mind off things and the game was helping out only that it definitely increased my blood pressure watching our teams get beaten up silly. The cocky ‘Eagles’ were dragged across the court like nobody's. It was such a sight to see.The whistle rang through the air for half-time, and they all dispersed to the bench to regroup and refresh, which was close to where we sat so we could see them. Some of them were arguing while some tried to cool off by dousing themselves with water over their heads.I could also see Dylan who just sat at the bench and watched them not involving himself in what was going on.“How are they the same people that won every game?” May asked“They look so disorganized” I laughed“That is because Dylan was benched,” a girl said beside May“He is just one guy, what difference can he make?” May scoffed“More than you know it, he
