Highschool ( A Kalin White Story )

Chapter 7

*skip to Friday at the basketball game*

It was all down to this, me making these 2 free throws. Although we were only down by 1, I still wanted to make both of them. The whole gym was quiet, all eyes on me. The ref passed me the ball, I bounced it twice then shot it with perfect form, but I had too much power. Gonk! The ball hit the rim and fell out. I put my head back in frustration. It would really suck if we lost our first game, especially because of me. I looked to the left and saw Ishali and the rest of the cheerleaders laughing at me. I looked to my right and saw Kalin along with his family and my family. Kalin mouthed something to me.

Kalin: you got this take your time

I nodded my head a smiled at him. I took a deep breath, and nodded my head towards the ref so he can pass me the ball. I dribbled twice, then shot it with perfect form and had just the right amount of power. Swish! The ball rolled around the rim, and fell in. I got super excited as I heard all the roars of excitement from the crowd. All of my teammates came in for a group hug.

Teammates: you did it, you did it!!

Eventually the crowd game and joined us in our little celebration. I know, it seems like we're doing too much and it's just our first game. But we always win our first game, it's like a tradition. And it'd really suck if we lost. I soon felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around my waist and pick me up.

Kalin: you did it shorty, congratulations 😄!!

Sherice: *turns around in his arms* thank you punk 😊!

Kalin: for a minute there I thought you were gonna cry when you missed that first free throw

Sherice: lol, I was so scared that I was gonna break our tradition, but you helped me focus

Kalin: so what do I get for helping you?

Sherice: you get to take me to In-N-Out Burger 😁☺️

Isaiah: *clears throat*

Oops, lol we forgot our families were standing by us and I was still in Kalin's arms. They also didn't know about Kalin and I. Kalin quickly put me down and we turned towards our families. They gave us confused/excited looks.

Kalin: what?

Isaiah: oh nothing, were you guys planning on going somewhere?

Kalin: yeah, Sherice wanted me to take her to In-N-Out Burger

Isaiah: you mean "shorty" 😏

Our families busted out laughing, I looked over at Kalin and his face was red. He looked so cute.

Mrs. White: honey, you don't have a car

Sherice: I was gonna let him drive mine, if that's alright with you?

Mrs. White: it's ok, y'all be safe, and Kalin don't drive too fast

Kalin: yeeeeees mama

They left and Ishali walked up to us.

Ishali: hey Kalin, are you going to the celebration party tonight?

Kalin: nah, I got other plans

Ishali: oh, can I come?

Kalin: I'm sorry, but no. It's something special

Ishali: mhm, oh hi Sherice, I didn't see you there again. Good game

Sherice: 😑 how are you gonna say "good game" to me when you were laughing at me the whole time?

Ishali: I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at something Jennifer said

Sherice: yeah right, let's go Kalin

Kalin and I walked to the girls locker room.

Sherice: just let me take a quick shower and I'll be out, ok?

Kalin: wait, take a selfie with me real quick

Sherice: lol alright

Kalin took the picture and uploaded it to Instagram, which went to Twitter also. His caption was:

"Congrats to the Lady Falcons for doing there thing tonight, had to take a shhhelfie with bae 😘😍😘 @ShericeG"

I kissed him then went to take a shower. I got out and put on a fitted white crop top with pink polka dots, a pair of high waisted jean shorts and some black vans. I grabbed my bag and walked out.

Sherice: ready to go?

Kalin: yep

Sherice: *walking hand-n-hand with Kalin* good, because I want a burger and some fries

Kalin: fat ass

Sherice: I know I have a fat ass 😊

Kalin: 😏 I have something fat too

Sherice: we know, your head 😂

I knew exactly what he was talking about.
