“Everyone knows Latino boy is mine” Kristen replied.
“Yeah and I get the shorter blonde”
“Oh c’mon! Not the tall one! I already made a fool of myself in front of him. I don’t want to have to guard him as well. Do you like putting me through this hell?”
“Of course we do, Cate. What are friends for?” Amy answered sarcastically.
“Can I please guard the short one?”
“No, I told you, he’s mine!”
“Geez, okay. I got your point” Cate said, as they broke from their huddle.
“Alright guys, you all know which one I get” AJ responded.
“I get the one with the long legs” Brian stated.
“Guys, you know I don’t want to guard her! She feels stupid around me…and that would be weird. Can’t I just switch? Please”
“No” The other two answered sternly.
“Damn! This really blows” Nick answered as their huddle broke as well.
“Okay, who wants to jump for it?” Brian asked.
“I guess I will, being the tallest and all” Amy volunteered.
“Okay, Nicky will jump for us” AJ announced.
“That’s so NOT fair. He’s too tall” She complained.
“The only one closest to your height is Bri, but he’s really good”
“We’ll just have to see about that” She said smiling.
“You sure about that little girl?” Brian asked.
“Never been so sure in my life. By the way, your zipper’s down, Bri” She said, just as AJ threw the ball in the air. Brian checked as Amy hit the ball towards Kristen, who dribbled it and shot the ball, hitting the basket perfectly.
“You cheated! That doesn’t count”
“Gonna go cry to your mamma now?”
“Sorry B, she played fair and square”
“Fine. I’ll just have to do something about that”
“Hi, what’s up?” Nick asked, standing face-to-face with Cate.
“Nothing. Just trying to play some b-ball” Cate replied.
“That’s always cool”
“Yo Cate, get open”
“Alright, just chill” Cate faked to her left then made a quick turn to the right, just as Kristen passed her the ball. Nick tried to block her but she barely got past him, shot the ball, and watched as it sunk into the basket.
“Four to zip, boys. Are you chicken or something? Afraid to beat on some girls?”
“No, we just haven’t warmed up yet”
“Yeah, okay. Great excuse”
The game went on for an hour, the score was now 18-16. The guys we’re winning and we’re sure they had already won.
“It looks as though you’re not so doing so well” AJ said smiling.
“You just need to realize this game isn’t over yet” Kristen said, smiling as well.
Brian was busy trying to block Amy, while she passed the ball to Kristen. He tried to block the pass, but ended up tripping over himself, bringing Amy down with him. He landed on top of her, and their eyes suddenly locked. Kristen had made the basket but they were too caught up in each other, that they hadn’t noticed.
“I should get up now”
“Umm, yeah. That would be nice” She said as he got up, than pulled her up as well.
“Sorry about that. I just get into the game sometimes”
“Yeah, it can get real intense”
“Yo Amy, catch…”Cate said, throwing the ball. It was too late to warn Brian as the ball came, knocking him out from behind. He fell to the ground instantly, but was only semi-conscious.
“Oh my God! Are you alright, Brian?” Amy asked, kneeling down and trying to shake him awake.
“Ouch, what the hell?” He asked, coming to.
“Shit! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean that…”
“It’s okay. It didn’t hurt, it was just the impact of the ball”
“Man, Bri! That was hilarious. Where the hell is the camera when ya need it?” AJ asked laughing the whole time. Kristen punched him in the arm.
“AJ! He could have had a concussion. That’s not something to joke about”
“Oww, I’m sorry. You didn’t have to hit me so hard”
“You asked for it”
“Brian, are you okay?” Nick asked.
“Yeah, I’m absolutely fine”
“Than let’s finish this game. Next basket wins it all”
“You all know the Chicas will kick your ass” Cate answered.
“You only wish. The Homies are so gonna kick it”
“Let’s play and find out” Cate took the ball and threw it in to Amy, who than passed it to Kristen. The three guys decided to go and tried to guard Kris, while Cate hopped onto Amy’s shoulders.
“Kristen! Over here!” Cate shouted.
Kristen threw the ball up high, perfect for Cate to catch. Amy semi-ran as far as she could to the basket, than Cate shot it. It rolled around the rim about three times than finally dropped in. The girls shouted in victory, while Cate got off of Amy’s shoulders. The guys could not believe they just lost. They looked on dumb-founded, the girls cheering in victory.
“I guess we just proved who’s the best” Cate said happily.
“Yeah, yeah. We know”
“Oh, who’s jealous now?” Amy asked.
“Listen, you were lucky. We’ll just have to beat you next time” Brian replied.
“You keep telling yourselves that and it might come true”
“I think it just might” AJ answered matter-of-factly.
“We better go now. It was nice playing you guys” Amy said, as they gathered all their things and started to walk out the door.
“Wait, umm…would you three like to go to dinner with us?” Brian asked as he caught up with them.
“Well…I…uh…guess we could do that”
“Yeah, that sounds like fun. I need to party since I just kicked your asses” Cate said smiling.
“Again, you were all very lucky”
“We have to go. We need to pretty ourselves up for you boys” Kristen said.
“Alright, we’ll pick you up at around five”
“Until then, boys. We’ll be seeing ya” Cate said as they walked to Amy’s midnight blue(*it HAS to be that color*) Jeep Wrangler.
They got into the car and just sat there, thinking about their last hour of fun.
“We just played basketball with the three most finest guys on the planet!” Amy exclaimed.
“This is so unreal. I can’t wait until five o’clock” Cate said.
“Well you’re gonna have to. Until that time arrives, we have to find outfits” Kristen answered.
“Ooohh! That sounds exciting. Let’s go” Amy excitedly responded.
“Calm down, Amers. It’ll all be okay”
“I know, especially since we’re going to dinner with those hotties. I have to say, the one who fell on me, I just wanted to kiss him. Dumbass Cate had to throw the ball at him and ruin it”
“I’m sorry but there was no time for love matching. We were there to kick their asses”
“Their fine-looking, wanna-pinch-so-bad, asses” Kristen added.
“No, you can’t forget that. Well, we’re home. Let’s go and get ready” Amy replied, as she parked into the driveway.
“Yes, we must look absolutely gorgeous” Cate said.
“Or close to it” Kristen added sarcastically, as they laughed.
