(Ash POV)

YOUTUBE VIDEO ON THE SIDE

This week went past smoothly, Scarlett no longer bothered me which was great and I haven’t walked on my ankle all week. Its Friday the team leaves tonight which was also great, they seemed to have been practicing harder now than they ever have before even last Friday instead of celebrating like they had planned they cancelled and practiced instead. Coach said they have been practicing all week and weekend, I can see the improvements they have made over the past week. Right now Gabriel and I are at the doctors office with the coach standing outside the door, I had my bags packed and ready for the flight Gabriel also had everything packed and ready, I’m hoping he will clear me for the game tomorrow but, even if he didn’t I would still go to the game and support them, the doctor came in with the coach right behind he came over to me and un wrapped my foot pressing on it slightly and turning it occasionally yes it hurts but it was bearable all I need was the ankle brace and I should be fine for the game.

“Well it looks fine but I want you to wear a ankle brace while you play and try not to over due it” he said I nodded grinning as he went into a cabinet.

“Here this is the ankle brace that you use for basketball it should work fine but if you want more support you can go to the store and buy another one but I would recommend this one” He said lacing it up on my ankle and snapping the snaps back it seemed to fit solid and it was comfy.

“So I’m cleared” I asked he nodded yes I got off the bed with the ankle brace on I couldn’t feel anything that much I liked it.

“Gabby do I have my other shoe” I asked her she nodded and went into my gym back and handed me my matching shoe I took it and put it on the brace didn’t get in the way of it at all it fit perfectly in my shoe.

“Well then I guess you can play” the coach said I thanked the doctor and we all walked out.

“I finally can get rid of theses dreaded crutches” I said Gabriel laughed beside me as we went to her car.

"I can finally drive my truck” I said she frowned

"Is there something wrong with my car Lee” She asked I laughed shaking my head no.

“No its just to small for me” I said she shook her head and I lifted her up running with her I’m free she laughed telling me to put her down.

“But Gabs I can finally pick you up and spin you around” I said spinning her around as she busted out in a fit of giggles I stop spinning her laughing as she looked at me dizzy I grinned.

“One last thing though I can do it while I’m kissing you too” I kissed her softly grinning she kissed me back wrapping her arms around my neck as I walked to the car with her in my arms, she grinned at me when I leaned her against her car.

“Now I can finish packing everything and then I can get my dad to drop us off at the airport” I said putting her in the car I got in the driver seat and asked for the keys.

“Why are you driving my car,” She asked I shrugged.

“Because I can finally drive now give me the keys” I said holding my hand out she sighed and placed them in my hand I grinned and started the car up. I drove off to my house her bags were already there luckily she only brought two suitcases.

“What time do we leave tonight” I asked her she looked at her watch

“9 o-clock is the scheduled flight he wants us there so you guys can rest and maybe do a small practice Saturday morning before the game” She said I nodded getting out the car I opened her door before we walked into my house.

“Ash did the doctor say you could play” My dad asked

“Yup he says I’m all cleared I just can push myself to much” I said he nodded his head I looked beside me at the mail looking at one from UCLA I grinned and picked it up opening the letter yes it was the confirmation and acceptance letter for my scholarship I opened it grinning I was right I have the full scholarship.

“Dad I forgot to tell that I have a full scholarship to UCLA for basketball” I said he looked at me surprised before he smiled and hugged me.

“That’s great Ash I didn’t know that you chose the university yet,” He said

“Yup I did I forgot to tell you, last week the scout told me I got the scholarship” I said he was till grinning at me.

“What time do you guys leave tonight” He asked I looked at Gabriel

“We meet at the airport no later than eight thirty” She said he nodded before he walked off me and Gabriel went down stairs so I could finish packing.

(Gabriel POV)

I’m so nervous right now I hate flying, I was never good with planes, I mean I was freaking out the entire plane ride when we moved to California, my gripped tightened on the arm rest as the announcement came on that we were going to pull off soon.

“Gabs you okay” Ash asked worried beside me do I look okay I wanted to say to her but I couldn’t speak right now I stiffened as the plane began to move I closed my eyes, shutting them tight waiting for everything to be over with I forgot to take the sleep medicine so I could fall asleep during the flight.

“Gabs calm down” Ash said she pulled up the armrest and wrapped her arms around me pulling me to her.

“Breath Gabs” She said in my ear as I buried my face in her chest felt the plane take off she reached over me and pulled the blinds down, as she was rubbing my head saying something to me quietly the plane shook slightly making me grip onto her shirt

“Gabs listen to my heart beats” She said I listened to the beat of her heart blocking out the plane as it continued to shake before it went smooth again Ash sighed and unbuckled my seat belt and hers she pulled me closer to her.

“Gabs why didn’t you say you didn’t like to fly” She asked I shrugged into her

“I don’t know I’m usually asleep during the whole the flights” I mumbled I felt her nod.

“Excuse but is she going to be okay” I heard a flight attendant asked

“Um do you have anything that can make her go to sleep” She asked I heard the flight attendant walk off.

“Gabriel are you okay” I heard the coach ask, leave me alone I’m trying to concentrate on the beats.

“No” I said into the Ash I’m not moving until we land or until I go to sleep.

“I got her some sleeping pills coach she should be fine once she’s asleep” Ash said

“Okay but tell me if she needs anything” He said I heard him walk away as the attendant came back.

“Here’s a water and a the pill it’ll work for five hours which is a problem because its only a two and half  hour flight” She said

“It’s fine I can take care of her after the flight” Ash said and the lady walked away.

“Gabs lift up to take this” She said I nodded and lifted my head up she gave me the pills and the water I popped the pills in my mouth followed by the water before hid back in Ash chest she sighed smoothing my hair down I must me a hassle for her.

“I’m sorry Ash if I’m bothering you” I mumbled she chuckled.

“You’re not I just wish you told me early so I could have brought you the medicine” She said I nodded slowly feeling the medicine kick in.

(Ash POV)

I buckled Gabriel back in the seat as the plane was about to land she was sleeping peacefully curled up with her head on my lap, the coach came back here a few times to check on her occasionally but she was fine I kept telling him but he still came back every few minutes. Now flying her to New York is going to be difficult I wish she’d told me early because the New York flight was going to be at least 5 to 7 hours I guess I’ll change her ticket to first class so she’ll be comfortable if she wakes up.

“Hey Sean can you and some other guys get our bags for us” I asked I need someone to get them while I carried Gabriel to the bus.

“Yeah sure Steve and Chase come help me with their bags” He said to them they all nodded the plan landed. I unbuckled Gabriel and myself as everyone stood up. I sighed and lifted her up an looked out side and it was raining I groaned she was going to end soaked I put her back down and pulled off my hoodie and quickly put it on her lifting the hood over her before I picked her back up bridal style and carried her quickly out the plane. I walked into the airport and out the entrance trying to find out where to go.

“Davis this way” The coach said I was getting soaked by the cold rain as we made it to the coach bus I don’t know why we had a coach bus, but they were fun to ride in, I looked at Gabriel as I jogged with her to the bus she was still knocked out no bothered at all by the cold rain I shook my head at her chuckling as I walked up the stairs in the bus before I went to the third row and sat down with her in my lap she moved slightly adjusting herself against me before she stopped moving.

“How long is she going to be out” Coach asked looking at her

“I think another 2 or 3 hours” I said he nodded as the team started coming on the bus slowly I rolled my eyes at them.

“Hustle you guys stop dragging you’re feet” I said they picked up their paste and all sat down in there seats looking at me as they passed by the driver started the bus and we were off.

“Okay guys I have the assigned rooms we are doing it my jersey numbers” the coach said they let out small groans I sighed at them.

“If I catch any of you groaning again we will practice tonight and tomorrow morning early” The coach said they all shut up and listened as her paired everyone up.

“Number 1 and 3, 2 and 4 5 and 7 6 and 8 9 and 11 10 and 12 13 and 15 16 and 18 19 and 21 20 and 22 and last is 23 and 24” He finished I looked at him.

“Coach is it okay if I stay in Gabriel’s room with her” I asked I’m not leaving her in the room by herself if he says I can’t I'll just sneak in there with her. He looked at me frowning slightly thinking about it.

“Why” He asked

“Because I’m not going to leave her by herself,” I said stating the obvious

“No you can’t bunk with her there is only one bed” He said I raised my eyebrow at him.

“So we always sleep in the same bed she always spends the night over my house too” I said he didn’t say anything I sighed I guess I’ll be sneaking in there to sleep with her we stopped in front of the hotel I gathered Gabriel up in my arms as her hands clasped onto my shirt she mumbled something under her breath as I pulled the hood over her head. We all walked into the lobby and checked in the coach handed everyone there card keys as we went to the elavators it was a nice hotel I think it was the Hilton hotel the lobby was big with a gold and red tone to it we all pilled into the elevator surprisingly we all fitted in there we went up in silence to the 5th floor before we all got out the coach walked with me to Gabriel’s room with Chase following behind us with her bags. He swiped the key into the slot and opened the door when it turned green her room was a decent size it had a queen size bed with a T.V, a small sink, microwave and fridge I carried her over to the bed pulling the covers back, I need to change her into her pajamas, I turned around and both of them were still standing there,

“Um could you two leave while I change her clothes” I said Chase shrugged, put the suitcases down and left the room while the coach stood there I raised my eyebrow at him waiting for him to leave.

“I can’t allow you to do that with her sleeping Ash part of the rules” He said I groaned really I’ve seen her with out clothes on.

“Coach I’m a girl” I said rolling my eyes he still shook his head no.

“I’m not letting her sleep in wet clothes” I said frowning I sighed and shook Gabriel hoping she wake up.

“Gabby get up and tell the coach I can change you’re clothes” I said lifting her into a sitting position.

“Leave me alone” She mumbled I groaned and pinched her arm her eyes opened up slightly as she glared at me.

“Just tell him I can change you’re clothes” I said she groaned

“Why any other time you don’t ask, now let me go back to sleep” She whined tiredly leaned her head on my stomach I looked at the coach he sighed.

“Hurry up I’ll be back in here in five minutes” He said handing me her bag I nodded and started undressing her once he left I went in her bag and pulled out one of my shirts she had packed I pulled it over her head a down her body just as the coach knocked and came in I sighed and put her back under the cover she moved around trying to get comfortable her eyes crack opened and she sat up looking at me.

“Aren’t you sleeping in here,” She asked I shook my head no she looked at me pouting.

“But you know I won’t be able to fall back to sleep without you” She said quietly whining at me

“Blame him,” I said laughing at her before I moved to show her the coach behind me leaning on the wall she blushed before she frowned at me.

“Why didn’t you tell me he was in here,” She asked I chuckled

“I didn’t think you would embarrass yourself” I said shrugging as she let out a yawn looking at the coach.

“Can she stay in here with me tonight coach I don’t want to be by myself” She said cutely I laughed to myself he was so going to fall for this he looked like he was about to protest but then he looked at her I grinned she had the eyes on her face.

“Fine but no funny business I want her alert tomorrow” He said looking directly at her

“What we only sleep,” Gabriel said quickly blushing I chuckled at him

“I’m going to get my bags,” I said leaving out with the coach I laughed at him

“Don’t worry coach she gets me with the same trick every time” I said he grumbled at me.

“Davis I expect you to be up tomorrow don’t make me regret this” He said I nodded

“I know I know we won’t be doing anything anyway but sleep” I said he nodded at me as I opened the door a couple of guys were in the room playing cards I grabbed my bags.

“I’m staying with Gabriel” I said they nodded as I left out and went back to Gabriel’s room I opened her door seeing her in the same position I left her sitting on the bed with her legs folded underneath staring at the door I shook my head grinning at her sleepy state I took of my clothes and turned the light out getting into the bed with her she got underneath the covers and pulled herself over to me.

“What took you so long,” she mumbled I chuckled

“Nothing I was talking to the coach sleepy” I said she yawned into my neck mumbling something she pushed closer to me and put one of her feet between my legs getting comfortable.

“Comfy yet” I asked she nodded

“Yeah goodnight Lee”

“Night Gabs” I said shifting my legs slightly against her and falling asleep.

(Gabriel POV)

“Alright guys hustle run, run, run,” Ash was yelling at the team as she ran past them for someone to have had a messed up ankle for a week she sure was in better shape than them they been running all day because they were late to practice I think most of them staid up all night coach had a fit of course he was also yelling at them as Ash yelled at them the game was moved up to Five o-clock and it was now one thirty the practice should end soon so they can rest before the big game they had ahead of them. The coach blew his whistle everyone stopped and walked over to him.

“ Alright you guys go back to you’re rooms and rest I don’t want any of you leaving the hotel we didn’t come here for site seeing do you understand” He said

“Yes sir” they all said before he dismissed them Ash came over to me and sat down tired.

“I’m about to go to the gym and run on the tread mill you want to come with me” She asked putting the towel around her neck.

“Don’t you need to rest,” I asked she shook her head.

“No, I’m fine, I’ll stop in like an hour then go upstairs to shower and rest” She said I nodded

“Well I don’t have anything else to do so sure” I said she laughed and grabbed her gym bag as we walked through the hotel to the work out room. When we go there, there weren’t a lot of people but I did spot some of our basketball players lifting weights.

“Lee what am I supposed to do” I asked she laughed.

“I don’t know drool over my hot body while I work out” She said taking off her shirt and putting it in her bag I rolled my eyes at her as she walked over to some pole.

“You can count me if you want” She said I sighed and walked over to her and sat on a work out bench as she beginning doing pull ups I watched her as all her muscles tightened and defined more as she went up and down I turned my head side ways looking at her abs I still can’t get over her 6 pack its was hot and sexy but I would never tell her that out loud.

“Gabs stop staring I know, I’m sexy” She said looking at me smirking while she hung in mid air I blushed at being caught she chuckled dropping off the bar.

“I guess you’re having fun then” She said winking before she grabbed her towel and wiped off the sweat from her body.

“Is that how you got you’re packs” I asked she nodded her head

“Along with some other things I’m trying to get two more” She said poking her stomach flexing it she looked at it frowning you could faintly see 2 of them.

“There almost there I just need to define them more” She mumbled to herself I shook my head.

“I think I like you with just the six pack” I said I don’t think she needs any more packs even though it probably would look nice on her.

“But I want two more” She whined I laughed at her standing up

“Come on let’s go back to the room” I said she needs to rest before the game started she smirked at me.

“And what do you suggest we do” She said suggestively taking my hand and pulling me out the gym and to the elevator.

“Nothing you’re going to go take a shower and sleep” I said she laughed as we got in the elevator.

“But what if I want to something else” She asked backing me into the corner she pressed a button on the elevator making it stop she pressed me against the wall and started kissing my neck I groaned and tried to push her away but to no avail. She kissed me on my mouth making me smile as her hips pressed into to mines she opened my mouth and explored my mouth with hers I bit her tongue playful as she lifted me up I wrapped my legs around her and my hands went in her hair pulling her closer to me as the kiss started to intensify she kissed me harder making me forget that we were still in the elevator she pulled back going down to my neck leaving me dizzy with desire.

“Lee come back up here” I said she came back up smirking while I grabbed her and pulled her into another kiss she grunted and I heard her press a button.

“Room” She said between the kisses I didn’t respond, only kept kissing her until the door open she pulled back and carried me to the room she slipped the card in and opened the door kissing me again I heard the door slam shut as we made our way to the bed not breaking the kiss her hands fumbled with my shirt as she pulled it over my head as she walked us over to the bed we made it there just as she unbuttoned my pants. We landed on the bed god if we keep this up we are going to end up having sex she pulled at my clothes as I pulled at her shorts she lifted up and looked at me shaking her head at me.

“Not today” She said I nodded before kissing her again her shorts dropped to the floor as she hovered over me still kissing me we heard a knock on the door making her groan before she got off top of me I got underneath the covers as she opened the door.

“What do you want” She asked they pushed her out the way and came in the room talking

“Well we are bored and whoa are we interrupting something” Chase asked looking at the clothes strewn on the floor and at me under the covers I blushed pulling the covers all the way over my face half of the basketball team was in here at least I still had on my bra and undies.

“No, now get the hell out, you can’t just barge in peoples rooms she was changing her clothes and I was about to take a shower now get out” She said she was pissed off I peaked out of the covers watching everyone leave out the room she sighed and closed the door behind them.

“I’m going to take a shower I’ll be back in a few,” She said going in the bathroom leaving me blushing red I turned on the T.V.

(Ash POV)

After the guys left I decided to take a nice cold shower it’s pitiful how frustrated my body is right now, I groaned stepping out the shower and drying off quickly before I put on my clean under clothes and walked out the bathroom Gabriel was still sitting in the bed with her knees up to her chest watching a show I think it was Tom and Jerry I walked over to her and kissed her forehead.

“You okay” I asked she nodded at me turning back to the T.V while I climbed into bed, I mines well take a nap before the game I took a pillow and fluffed it up before I went to sleep to the sound of Gabriel giggling at the T.V I smiled shaking my head.

*4 hours later at the game*

I looked at the team we were going against they were some big guys, but from what I can see they their all left handed I think. I turned back into the locker room I had iced my ankle before the game just in case something happened or if it got to still in the game the coach also had some icy hot packs and icepacks for me just in case. I walked to were everyone was sitting they all looked nervous as hell I guess I should give them a little speech I smirked at them and walked to the middle.

“Alright you pansy’s who am I” I asked looking at them

“Ash” I shook my head

“A Panther” One said I shook my head no

“A Winner” Another one shook my head

“I am a fucking Champion” I said walking back and forth looking at each and every last one of them

“ Today gentlemen, I am honored to be apart of this team more honored to be leading you onto the field of battle
But theres another honor to be bestowed upon you
And that is in the answer that comes with that question:
Who am I?” I paused after I shouted the words who am I

“I AM A CHAMPION!” they shouted back

”Thats right, and you need to remember that all through this game
I will conquer what has not been conquered
 Defeat will not be in my creed
I will believe what others have doubted
I will always endeavor to pull esteem, honor, and respect out of my team
I have trained my mind and my body will follow
”

“Who am I?” I shouted

“I AM A CHAMPION!” they roared

“I will acknowledge the fact that my opponent does not expect me to win 
But I will never surrender
Weakness will not be in my heart 
I will look to my comrades and to those who are a part of me in this world and those who have trained me
And I will draw strength from them”

”Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”

”I will gladly go out into the field of battle
And I will move in everything I can do 
and I will reach my field of battle by any means at my disposal
And when I get there, I will arrive violently
I will rip the heart from my enemy, and leave it bleeding on the ground
Because he cannot stop me”

“Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”

To my side I have comrades, comrades that have been with me through thick and thin
Who have sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears
Never will I let them fall, never will I let them down, and I will never leave an enemy behind
Because our opponent does not know my heart”

”Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”

“No one will deny me, no one will define me 
And no one will tell me who and what I am and can be
Belief will change my world 
It has moved continents, it has moved countries, it has put men on the moon
And it will carry me through this battle”

“Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”

“Defeat, retreat: those are not in my words
I don’t understand those definitions
I don’t understand when things go wrong
I don’t understand mistakes
But I do understand this:
I understand victory,
And I understand never surrendering
No matter how bad things go my heart and my mind will carry my body through limits and weakness.”

“Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”

“Today will be that day 
Not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here
In your house and in your homes”

“Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”

“History will remember me
I will not let worrying affect my cause
I will define myself
I will write my own pages
And no one will tell me what I cannot be
I will never give up 
Not until I’ve given everything I got”

“Because who am I?” I shouted

“I AM A CHAMPION!” they shouted back getting louder every time I siad

“Who am I?”

“I AM A CHAMPION!”
the coach was nodding his head and Gabriel was grinning as the locker was filled with shouts and cheers from the team

who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!

Who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!

Who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!

Who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!

Who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!

Who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!

Who am I?

I AM A CHAMPION!  They screamed now on their feet jumping up and down slapping each other

“Now lets go win this motherfucking Game” I yelled they were all hyped now banging against the lockers and shouting while running out the locker room.

“Davis that was a pretty damn good speech” Coach said Gabriel nodded her head to I nodded my head too.

“I know isn’t it, I found it on youtube the other day” I said laughing hard as they looked at me shaking their heads I shrugged. (A/N YOUTUBE VIDEO IS ON THE SIDE ALSO I DO NOT OWN THAT SPEECH IT WAS PROPERTY OF COACH FLOWERS)

“What, they looked nervous as hell when I walked in so I decided to tell them what I heard now don’t you feel like a millions bucks because I know I do, now lets go win this game Coach” I said grinning as he muttered something walking out I turned to Gabriel.

“Youtube really Lee” She said I grinned wrapping my arms around her

“Yup it worked as you can see,” She laughed at me

“Are you nervous” She asked I shrugged was I nervous

“I don’t know, ask me that in the second half” I said smirking she chuckled at me.

“Well you know I’ll be cheering for you” She said I grinned

“As always my number 1 fan” I said still grinning buzzer went off I sighed

“Come don’t want the game to start with you,” She said

“Do I get a good luck kiss first” I asked smirking at her as her cheeks turned pink she stood up on her tip toes and kissed me I bent down and kissed her back hard before I pulled back grinning at her now pink swollen lips. I took her hand and we walked out the locker room the stadium was crowded with fans everywhere. I walked over to the team with my game face on but I was grinning on inside the ref blew the whistle and I went to meet the captain of the team.

“Same rules as any other game play fair no trash talk or violence” He said we both nodded.

“Now shake hands” We reached out and shook hands

“Good luck Davis” John said I knew him we were buds when we were younger we occasionally still talked.

“You too John” I said we pounded each other fist and grinned before we walked back to the team.

“Fraternizing with the enemy Lee” Gabriel said smirking I laughed.

“Nope John’s an old friend of mines” I said she taking off our teams sweats I folded them and put them on the share Gabriel was sitting down with my jersey on I smiled before the ref blew the whistle.

“Alright guys do what I said during practice I want to win this” I said they nodded and we went to the floor.

“John my boy” I said as we crouched for the jump ball

“Davis my girl” he said winking I laughed as the ball went up I jumped beating him to it.

“I see I can still jump higher than you” I said running down the court he shrugged.

“I let you have it because you’re a girl” I rolled my eyes

“You always say that, but, are you letting me have this one” I asked catching the ball and dribbling around him and shooting a three point.

“Okay I didn’t let you have that one but game on may the best man or women win” he said grinning I grinned back giving him a small high five both of usignoring our coach’s as they yelled for us to stop talking to the enemy.

“Coach” we both said shaking our heads as the ball was thrown it this should be a fun game to play.

(Gabriel POV)

I laughed as Ash and the other guy kept talking on the floor while they shot on each other I think everyone overall is having a good time well except for the coach who kept mumbling about not talking to the enemy the game is certainly interesting to watch we were only up by 3 and it was already the second have I think this is the best game I’ve been too even the audience is enjoying it. Ash called a time out and started walking with a slight limp towards us.

“Coach you have the other brace” She asked sitting down taking off her shoe rubbing her ankle, the brace she had on was the one her brother gave her she said it was more comfortable than the one the doctor gave her, I looked it closely it was a little swollen and red I sighed and grabbed a patch for I put it her ankle as coach gave her the brace when I was finished she quickly put the brace on and tightened it before she put her shoe back on and went back in the game the ref blew the whistle and the game started again.

“Coach this is the most relaxed game we’ve had so far” I said he nodded

“It’s to relax I want some action we have less than ten minutes left and no excitement other than the teams having fun while their playing” He said looking bored I laughed

“That’s what the game is about to Lee she just wants to have fun doing something she loves” I said smiling as she ran past the players with the ball she threw it up and scored we were now winning by 5 with only a few minutes left the other team had the ball and the guy Ash was talking to ran with it grinning, Ash was right behind him smirking when he shot while she jumped and grabbed it in mid air before dribbling down the court she said something to him and he shook his head at head reaching for the ball she grinned and went around him before I heard her laugh she passed the ball to Sean as she went full speed to the hoop.

“God what is she doing she can’t go that speed and do an assist going that fast” The coach said frowning and groaning Sean shot the ball but it wasn’t going to go in I watched Ash curiously as she smirked at her friend before she ran and jump just as the ball was going to miss she grabbed it and dunked it in laughing as she swung from the hoop backwards I laughed at her and the crowd cheered just as the buzzer went off and she hopped down grinning.

(Ash POV)

I have to say this was the best game we played so far everyone was keeping up and having fun I hopped off the hoop grinning as I walked up to John he was also grinning at me as the blue and white streamers and balloons fell from the ceiling the crowd was still yelling and cheering and the band was playing.

“Good Game man” I said giving him a brief hug he patted me on my back.

“Thanks that was fun even though coach is going to be pissed at us for loosing and having fun” He said laughed I chuckled at him, I felt Gabriel jump on my back.

“Congratulation Lee” She said giggling I adjusted her so she was on my back the right way with her I took hold of her legs so she wouldn’t fall.

“John this is Gabriel, Gabriel this is John my old friend” I said he grinned at her shaking her hand.

“Nice to meet you” He said she said the same.

“So you playing in college right” I asked him he nodded

“Yup UCLA baby” He said I laughed at him

“I guess I’ll be seeing you on the court I’m playing for them too” I said

“Sweet” he said grinning

“Totally” I said back we both started laughing again.

“I thought you said you didn’t watch Finding Nemo” Gabriel said I looked at her from the corner of my eye.

“No I said I wouldn’t watch it with you” I said she mumbled something as the Coach called me over.

“Lets catch up sometimes man you got my number right” He asked I nodded

“Yeah I’ll call you soon we can get the old crew back together and hang out sometimes” I said he nodded we pounded again before I walked over to the coach who was holding the trophy proudly, he looked at me and handed it to me.

“Team picture you guys” he said we all crowded around each other the coach was on the end and I was in the middle holding Gabriel hands and the huge gold trophy with my other smiling as the picture was taken.

“We did good real good” I told everyone they cheered and patted me on the back as we left out.

“Did you enjoy watching the game Gabs” I asked as we got on the bus.

“Yup I loved it but I’m pretty sure you had more fun than I did” She said I nodded.

“The most fun I had playing basketball” I said sitting down next to her she grinned at me and kissed my cheek but I turned my head and her lips for a brief moment before I pulled back grinning at her as she blushed I smiled and to think next Sunday is Christmas oh man I still have to finish shopping for her I had one last thing to get for her that i know she would love.
