"Alright, lover boy, are you done playing with the girls? You ready to focus on this game and beat those two wannabes?" Ty shoved Adrian when he'd rejoined the rest of the group. "You guard Gabe now. I can take care of the giant."
Adrian put little effort in keeping up with Gabe as he dribble the ball skillfully down the court. He could tell his friend was upset with him but that issue could wait until he'd kept Gabe and Tank from winning this ballgame. Gabe passed the ball between Adrian's legs to Tank then ran his shoulder into his stomach knocking him over. Okay, he's angrier than I realized, Adrian thought from his back on the pavement.
"You're being an idiot." Gabe growled under his breath as he pulled his friend to his feet. "You need to stay away from her."
"I know what I'm doing." Adrian breathed back throwing his hands up before Gabe could to catch the ball that was being passed in this direction. He turned quickly and threw one handed at the goal. The ball went through the hoop with little effort.
The ball was passed back to Gabe and Adrian quickly ran forward to guard. He threw his hands up and kept his body two steps ahead of him. Gabe spun to dribble around him but couldn't get around. He tossed the ball towards Tank then reared back and punched Adrian square in the mouth. Adrian fell to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. Tank jumped up and scored the winning shot as Ty cursed loudly into the sky.
"You're moving out until you can get your priorities straight." Gabe growled at his roommate. "You're not bringing me into this!"
