For the One You Love

Chapter 2: Basketball Rivalries

The gang all arrived at the Barretts household. They were there because Michael's mother was keeping all the kids.

"Mom, we're back," Michael called.

All the kids were in the living room watching tv while Michael Jr. was running around the house, trying to get away from her.

"How did the shopping go?" Mrs. Barrett asked.

"It went well…" Dana said. "Except…"

Everybody looked at Breana.

"Why do y'all keep looking at me? I said… I was gonna get me a dress. Don't bug me about it."

She walked towards the stairs. Daren, Michael's brother, was coming downstairs.

"Hey, Breana," he smiled.

"Yeah, Daren."

"What's wrong with her?"

"I have no clue," Michael shook his head.

"Dad, help me!" Michael Jr. screamed. He jumped on him.

"Son, you're getting to heavy."

"Don't let her touch me. She's freaking me out!"

"Mr. Barrett, I do have to say that I am very much in love with your son," she smiled.

"Lana just leave the boy alone," Logan said. "It's clear that he doesn't want you."

"Daddy, he does like me. He's just playing hard to get."

"Dad, you have to help me. She's crazy."

"Mike…"

Before he could say anything else, he bolted out the door screaming.

"Come back, sweetie!" she smiled and ran after him.

"That girl must be possessed," Mrs. Barrett said. "Anyway, are all of you gonna stay for dinner?"

"Can't," Chase said. The rest of the guys mumbled they couldn't stay either.

"You know I'm making red beans and rice cornbread with cabbage and collar greens…"

"I guess we can," Jake said. Then the rest of the guys mumbled in agreement.

"Aren't we gonna play basketball?" Logan asked.

"Yeah," Michael said. "I'm ready."

"Me too," Chase said.

"I been ready," John said trying his shoes.

"So am I," Jason said.

"Who said you could?" Michael asked.

"Who's having a mood swing now?" Jake smiled.

"I'm not having a mood swing."

"Just let him play," Dana said.

"Yeah," Zoey said. "You scared you're gonna get beat?" she smiled.

"Then why won't you let him play?" Nicole asked.

"Because one, I don't want to. Two, as much as I wanna embarrass him, I simply don't have the time."

"Cause you're scared," Jason smiled.

"I'm not scared."

"You know I'm gonna beat you."

"Said the second-sting benchwarmer."

"Then play me. We'll see who's second-sting now."

"Fine, you're on," he said putting on his cap backwards.

They both raced outside.

"We've gotta see this," Dana smiled.
