Cindy POV

Flashback begin

Jeremiah: Woodcrest park @ 4 today?

Yup I'll be there bring ya game too

Jeremiah: Oh you got jokes Cee

Jokes and jump shots sir

Jeremiah: We'll see slim

I couldn't explain it but I really liked hanging around Jeremiah. He was one of the starters on the team, he also ran cross country so his stamina was immaculate (literally) and dude was actually smart so he would tutor me because bitch as Huey had no patience, but that's my besties man's so I have to respect it. Jeremiah was fucking constantly getting at me and I'll shut him down. Because my heart was always seeking Riley. Jeremiah was bi-racial and I felt like he could talk white shit around me you know but also still love his own black identity, where as Jasmine struggled a bit. Dude was Lowkey perfect on paper, and he Lowkey helped me to be a better student, but he wasn't that good of a lover... compared to Riley. It's just that he don't vibe the same like me and Riley do. Maybe I'm saying shit to compare the two, but Riley forever got me that's for sure, he is just stuck being a thot. A dick. And my best friend.

My girl destiny from the varsity team met me at my house to take me to the park, because her boyfriend was coming too. Not all my teammates hang outside of school, but if I'm not with the girls of the group Jasmine or Tia I'm with the homie destiny.

We pull up at the park and roll up on the rest of the people, Jeremiah was looking fireee. He gave Chris Brown and Steph Curry a run for their money. Three other guys from the boys varsity joined and we started warm ups. Then we decided to play boys vs. girls. Me and Jeremiah decided to be team captains of our group.

"Cindy I'll go easy on you, I know you're good and all but I'm a fucking beast on the court I wouldn't want to do that to a girl especially you" Jeremiah winked.

The most disrespectful thing a man could tell me. I needed to show him how I served Reezy on the courts plenty times as teens. He suck at horse, even though he does put up a fight. Reezy stats are way solid their Jeremiah's so the fucking audacity.

"Words spoken by someone who clearly about to get their ass beat for real! You about to wish you never said that shit, no rebounds".

He slowly placed the ball in my hand and then have the audacity to wink. This dude finna let me win intentionally! Ugh.. he's cute, but Reezy knew to give it his all. I'm not a weak bitch. Anyways the game was 11 minutes in and I saw Riley texted me. Ugh this dude.

"I'm tapping out for a minute, Destiny take my spot temporarily" the girls sighed, and everyone resumed the game.

I sat on the park bench to reply back or to think about replying back. Then a million questions were in my head.

I need to make up my mind by the party. It's going to change everything, but I have no choice.

"You good Cind?" Jeremiah walked up to me with his shirt off. Completely off. He must have been hot from running back and forth on the court because the fall breeze begun to hit my face. The dude was hot. Like for real.

"Yeah I guess. Do you ever get a weird feeling when something is about to change but you don't know if you are ready for it to"? I don't know why I'm telling him this. Yes I do.

"Yes I do actually. What I learned is that change is going to happen rather someone is ready or not. And if you are ready and it happens you still might not like it, but their is a chance you will. You just don't know until it happens. Like this game today lol. We're at a tie". He said staring at me. I finally looked up at his brown eyes staring into my blues. He of course shoot closer to me unknowingly, fuck he's right.

"When did you get so poetic?" I shoulder pushed him.

"When you gone start listening to me Mcphearsome" he held my hand and brought his body closer. I almost couldn't breathe for a second. He landed a soft kiss on my cheek. I know I was red as fuck. My instinct was to burn out the horny vibes on the court.

"Right now, by beating you and ya boys asses on the court. My girls breaking this tie" I grabbed his hand off the bench and we both sprinted to the court. Everyone was looking at us because they knew the vibes but I was determined to win this game fairly.

As I was making a layup, I tripped over one of the guys foot and flew back, but Jeremiah caught me lucky shot.

"Are you okay?" He looked down at me I couldn't do this anymore. Sorry Reezy.

"I'm fine, you pretty fast Jay. I like that"

"Yeah?"

As Jeremiah lifted me up and towards his face, I felt like Jazmine feeling all like a princess. It was Lowkey weird but it was sexy. But I instantly lost it when I spotted someone familiar from a distance. I instantly pivot and shot up.

"Cindy what's wrong?" I was starring without even blinking.

We both saw the person I saw move closer.

Mutherfucking Riley Freeman.

Riley had made a guest appearance here today. He never hoops on

he was wearing a Miami heat jersey with the matching shorts. Riley still wore that lethal interjection chain with some 11's. I really don't know how he found me. Maybe he just wanted to play. Shit. This dude about to make shit a big deal. Changes.

"Cindy what the fuck, why haven't you picked up I've called and text you"

"Well hello motherfucker"

"Nah what's all this? You hooping with this nigga now"? Everyone stop playing and gathered around.

"What's up bro what's your fucking problem" Jeremiah stated while his teammates chime in.

"Shut the fuck up nigga".

"Reezy you don't tell me who I can hoop with or not you not my dad" he really thought he was running shit.

"Nah bro, I know what this is. You're mad because we're actually enjoying our time. Take your jealous ass somewhere else bro".

"Jealous who's fucking jealous is you're mad I'm actually about to take your spot that's why you trying to take my girl" Riley shot back.

"Back up bro, I'm not here for the drama".

"So now niggas is talking about starting drama, when you stealing Bi...Cindy".

This looked liked it was about to get out of hand and I don't fight dudes. I stepped off towards a bush, my teammates saw me but I put my hand up.I call Huey but he wasn't answering so I called Jazmine, Girl answer.

"Where were you when Cindy needed you? You were out fucking them other girls at school. She would cry while I tutored her and you can't add shit to her life but drama and madness".

"Nigga you were the one with the rotation and was hating when coach let me be the lead starter. You captain and you still a bitch because you feel like I'm taking your spot, now getting at my girl".

Did Riley just call me his girl? In front of the team? And if what he says is true then I hate him. I had to say something.

"Jeremiah! Do you really want Riley's spot"? He looked at me sadden.

"I like you a lot Cindy, I can't let you be played by this chump Nigga" Jeremiah walked towards me and hugged me. Riley walked up to Us as I pushed Jeremiah off me. Jeremiah grabbed me again but Riley punched Jeremiah arm to release me. This dude made me feel like a weak bitch but I moved quickly. Where the fuck was Huey and Jazmine?

"FUCK YOU BITCH ASS NIGGA" Riley was getting a bit too excited earlier because Jeremiah was also trained in MMA and if Riley doesn't tap out this dude will have him in a headlock.

I finally saw the two love birds jetting down the stairs. As soon as Huey made it to the courts he intervened. Two moves he did and both of them were temporarily paralyzed for the moment. I swear Huey is lethal as fuck which is dope, but I'm sure he still has no skill in bed. Corny ass.

Jeremiah left with the team and he wasn't as messed up as he thought. He looked at me still saddened and head down. Did he really like me or was he sad he was guilty?

"Cindy are you okay?All of this over you girl, your kitty must be fire". Jasmine stated giving me a huge hug.

"I guess. I really didn't sleep with Jeremiah TBH. He is fine, but he's not real".

"Then why don't you like Riley. Sure he's annoying, and prude, rude, gross, disrespectful, shallow"

"So?" Where was she going with this.

"The point is, he cares a lot about you. Remember he was there when those girls stole your shoes in middle school? And when the guys bullied you on the courts? He also was your first and you never told him because you put on amour to fights that never happen. Riley really wants you if you allow him".

I see Huey and Riley talking near the tree. I wonder what he feels after that fight. And it's his birthday in 4 days.

"Jaz, what if she cheats on me? What if he becomes a fuck boy instead of a boy I fuck? What if we're not friends anymore?"

"It's all revealed in time girl. You just gotta go with your intuition not your fears".

I hated when Jazmine was deep. She read my mind. I loved Riley and I didn't want to be with him because I didn't want to get hurt. That's some pussy shit. Riley was my first. I've lied to him about that too. He has hurt me before but he always made me feel even better each time. He has no idea.

He was walking with Huey towards Jasmine and I. The two lovebirds left while we stood staring at each other in silence. No words, just energy. Finally this dude spoke.

"You want to sleep over tonight, we need to talk". Knowing that we won't be saying shit. I smiled. "Yes, Reezy'.
