"Yes, ladies, y'all look amazing," the coach yells as we do passing and shooting drills. "Finish this last one and meet in the middle," the coach says as I catch a pass from Jazmine, step back, and shoot a three-straight cash of course.
I see Crystal roll her eyes at me as we jog to the middle of the gym. "I would like to congratulate Cleo and Crystal for making the ESPN women's top five players, Crystal at number three and Cleo as the top-ranked player in the country."
Everyone claps it up for us I clap for Crystal and myself because, yeah, she doesn't like me, but she deserves her flowers. "Yeah, I'm number three; for right now, I'll be number one after today," she says as the clapping dies down.
"What?" I say, turning to face her, "You heard me, sis." She says, stepping to me. "Girl, youn want no smoke," I say, laughing. "Nah, I want it all. I promise you that." She says getting in my face and making me laugh. Our noses are brushing against each other's.
"Aye, calm down, girls." Coach says, stepping in between us, "Y'all have a game today. Y'all need to go out today looking like a team. Now go get dressed for the game. Our coach yells, and we all jog to the locker room. She must be crazy

Jace POV
"Oh, this girl must want me to kill her. Why don't she listen?" I say after putting on my warm-up shirt. "What are you talking about?" Musa asks. "Cleo, man this how she's coming to the party, and I told her not to walk out of the house looking crazy, and this is how she's coming." I say, showing Musa the phone by crazy. I mean, crazy good. Yea, that's my bestie, and I see her as a boy most of the time, so I don't like when she comes outside looking like a girl, she's supposed to scare the niggas away.
"Damn." Musa says, looking for a little too long, "Aye." I say, moving my phone and pushing him softly, "She's still a girl at the end of the day, bro She's going to look good regardless." Musa says, shrugging his shoulders, "Who is y'all talking about?" Drew comes over, asking with Nick , Royale, and Phill coming behind him, "We're talking about Cleo Jace mad because she gonna be looking good at the party. "Musa says showing the guys Cleo's story
"Damn, I don't even see Cleo like that, but she's about to change my mind," Phill says, rubbing his chin. "I sit in silence. "Yeah, I'm on that tonight," Drew says, rubbing his hands together with a smile. "Ella es tan mala que me la comeré como postre, solo espera." Nick says, grinning,
(Translation: She's so bad, ima eat her for dessert just wait.)
"Aye, nigga speak English." I say, stepping in front of the phone, "All I said was that she looked good." Nick says, laughing, "Mane, I told y'all Cleo off limits." I say, sitting down in front of my locker, "So you gotta pick, we can either get Crystal or Cleo." These niggas getting off right now. "Y'all can't have either; y'all know I had feelings for Crys." I think I just fucked up. "So you got feelings for Cleo." Musa asks while everyone, "Nah, but we're too close for y'all to get at so she off limits."
