Chapter 1 : The Story

" A 17 year old boy was shot to death early this morning. Leaving behind his family and belongings to his friends. The whole city of Woodcrest is in dark times. Our prayers go out to his family. This is indeed one of the most saddest things to ever happen in this city. Our prayers go out to his family..."

( ... )

Tyreek dribbles down the floor .. 3 seconds .. 2 seconds .. 1 second ... He takes the shot ... BANG ! It's OVER ! Woodcrest High advances to regionals for the first time in school history.

The bench and the student section is going nuts! Tyreek Harris is the school's savior. Woodcrest takes the sectional championship 78-79. Tyreek Harris is ranked #1 in ESPN Top 100. You can see why by watching him play. He stands at 6'7 with range that is unheard of. His senior year has been phenomenal so far, averaging 32.3 PPG. Woodcrest will be playing in the Regional bracket next Saturday.

Monday morning

I woke up as usual to the sound of my alarm clock. I strutted to my closet and grabbed my uniform. I proceeded by brushing my teeth and my hair. I had beautiful curls in my head with a crispy line-up. I had a trimmed mustache with bushy chin hair. This all matched my light complexion.

I sprayed myself with Lacoste cologne. I also slipped on my Triple Black LeBron 9s and I was out the door in a matter of minutes. My designer Fendi belt held my slacks up so I was able to sprint faster. I sprinted down the block to the Freeman household, and the household of my sophomore teammate, Riley. I knocked on the door to be greeted by Robert Freeman.

"Wassup boy" He said.

"Nothing much, still balling" I replied.

"I seen you hit that game winner last night, WOO HOO boy, you the TRUTH. Put Woodcrest on the map, son."

"You already know." I said, giving him a pound.

I walked in to see Riley and Huey standing in the living room. They eyed me and Huey gave me a nod to leave. I car pooled with them every morning, since I didn't have a car yet. Huey would always make Riley sit in the back seat of the car.

"I hate y'all gay ass" Riley mumbled from the backseat.

"I love you too, lil bro" I added.

Riley just sat back into the seat, staring into his phone. Riley had grown dreadlocks down his back that he always kept tied together. He had become a little taller, standing at 5'11. Huey still had the same afro, but with a chin strap beard. He was about 6'4. We would always pick up Caeser on the way, too. Huey stopped in front of Caeser's house and honked the horn. Caeser walked out the house with his uniform shirt draped over his shoulder. He could never finish getting dressed.

He dropped into the car and gave everybody some dap. Then, Huey ignited the car and we were off. A red light stopped us and a red BMW pulled on the side of us. It was Jazmine, Cindy, Destiny, and Serenity. These four girls were seniors and boy, they were the baddest in Woodcrest.

"Hweeey!" Jazmine shouted out the window.

Her beautiful hair blowing in the wind. It was March, so the weather was amazing. "Wassup Jazmine" Huey replied, blushing slightly.

"Yo Cindy!" Riley shouted from the backseat. Cindy gave Riley a peace sign and he smirked at her. Even though he was a sophomore and she was a senior, they were extremely attracted to each other.

So that left me & Caeser. Caeser had Destiny & I had Serenity wrapped around my finger. We all exchanged words before pulling into the school'a parking lot. We always walked in together, along with Hiro.

As we entered, I was greeted by claps and cheers from the students. I had led this team to their first Regional Championship. But I wasn't done yet, I was aiming for state.

I was called into the athletic office by our head coach, Tim Roberts. He handed me a letter from McDonald's. I opened the letter up anxiously. It read ...

"Greetings Mr. Harris, as you already know, you are ranked #1 in the nation. So this selection was imperative. You have been selected as an McDonald's All American starter. We have watched you closely and you are deserving of this honor. This is the best place to show your skills off against the best high school players in the nation. We are glad to have you compete in this challenge. Good luck."

I closed the envelope. Coach ushered me out of the office. I hurried to my first perio. class. Even though I didn't like the teacher, Serenity sat right next to me, so that helped a bit.

I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I was Tyreek Harris, I had smashed plenty of females in my lifetime. But she was different. I plopped down in the desk next to hers. She glanced over and gave me a light smile.

I could feel feel my heart pounding in my chest. How could this be happening? I was a ladies man. Please don't tell me it was ... Love. Before you knew it the school day was over. It was time for practice. Everybody had their stuff on when coach called us to the middle of the court. He began to speak.

"I love the intensity y'all played with last night. It was a battle and you stuck it out. We have 3 games before state. You made me a happy man last night. So I applaud you. But, that was last night. Now, everybody HIT THE LINE!"

Everybody grimaced as he blew his whistle. Time for deat .. uh conditioning. Dammit.
