It was the last quarter of the game and I was facing off against Edwards. I hated this prick , he was a cocky player and a ball hog. How he managed to make Captain astonished me . In my opinion it should've been his best friend, Evan, who was obviously the better player and team leader.

"Don't choke last minute, Addams." He tried taunting me as I dribbled the ball. There was only two minutes left on the shot clock and I intended on making every second count. I looked to my left and right to find an opening.

"Trash talk needs work, Edwards." I grunt out, passing the ball to Creed who was wide open. He ran a layup and got us two extra points added to our scoreboard.

"Defense needs a little work too." I laugh, backing away from him towards our side of the court. The crowd chanting my name and a mix of my best friends name was like music to my ears. I fed off of their energy and it pushed me to be better— to do better.

Edwards passed the ball to Evan who shot it towards the hoop , air balling it. Evan wasn't playing his best tonight and it was obvious . UCLA's head coach was having a tough time as he wiped away the sweat from his forehead . The score was 95-70. They weren't winning this game with only a minute left on the clock.

Steele dribbled the ball down the court and tried to find an opening through the players guarding him. I made a beeline to the three point line trying to get Edwards off my tail. I juked him out and made it towards the line motioning for Steele to pass it to Creed.

Twenty seconds were left on the clock and he passed it to Creed , who passed it to King , who passed it to McKay. We were trying to run up the clock so that I could finish the game up with a winning shot. Ten seconds were left on the clock, the ball was finally in my hands. I step backed and jumped , letting the ball slip off my fingers as we all watched it travel through the air.

The clock was down to 0.5 seconds and the ball went in just in time. The buzzer sounded and the crowd erupted into cheers.

"Nothing but net, baby." I cheese as my teammates jump on me in celebration. Edwards walks away with a disappointed scowl on his face while I'm smiling from ear to ear .

I look around to see the McKay twins embracing each other in a hug. Not too far behind them was Skylar's Posse, USC's hottest and bitchiest friend group to date. When I say bitchiest, I don't mean it lightly. They are nice girls from what I've seen and heard but if you cross them it's like WW2 up this bitch. Especially if your cross Rhegan Clarke, your life would be over before it even starts when it comes to her and the people she loves.

At the center of it all was Ayanna Heart— Long legs, fat ass, curvy body, long curly hair that was usually kept in braids or faux locs, nice smile and glowing skin. She was sweet from what I knew but looks can be deceiving. Ayanna has a short fuse — she was anything but sweet when it came to down to fucking with her and her friends.

Every guy on campus wanted to have one night with that group — the only one who would come close to having a night or more with one of those girls would be Creed. If only he man'd up and asked out Elizabeth Parker.

"Wooo, baby." Dominic Steele , one of my best friends shouted as he jumped on my back.

"Oww you fat ass, that's like 250 lbs of pure muscle." I groaned as he pulled me in for a hug.

"Sorry did I hurt the little princess." he teased fluffing my hair. "Man shut the fuck up ," I laughed as the rest of the guys walked towards us.

"Good game rookie ." I compliment Haze Black. He's not a rookie anymore but the nickname still stuck." I'm not a rookie anymore ." he whined taking the words right out of my mouth."You will always be a rookie in our mind ." Marcus King patted his back.

"I'll see you at the party later right?" Kyler asked his other half as they walked towards us."You know i'm not passing up a chance of free drinks and showing my ass."Skylar grinned with amusement .

"You're an embarrassment." Kyler grimaced pushing her away. "Stupid say what." She mumbled so lowly that none of us could hear her.

"What?" We all asked leaning forwards as she burst out laughing. "What drugs are you on ?" Marcus leaned forward, placing his elbows on mine and Dominics shoulders ."I'm just curious to know."

Skylar ever so kind, flipped him off with a sweet smile as Jora and Sade ran over to the group.

"Sky, Rhegan is about to blow a blood vessel." Jora exclaimed grabbing Sky's hand .

When is Rhegan not getting into it with someone .

"What's wrong ?" Sky asked getting on the defense."Fucking Edwards is what's happening."

At this statement all of us looked at each other before we followed behind the trio. Towards the entry way to UCLA's lockeroom — Edwards and Ayanna were in a heated argument while Rhegan and Elizabeth looked just as upset.

"I fucking swear to you Edwards," Ayanna gritted out ."Leave me the fuck alone or I will blast all of your dirty laundry." She threatened as his grip tightened on her forearm. For some reason that made my blood boil from seeing his grip on her.

"I know this man does not have his hands on my little sister like that." Kyler scoffed as he set off. Kyler referred to Ayanna as his little sister since she was such good friends with Skylar.

"Hold on Rocky." Abel called out pulling Kyler back. Technically we were eavesdropping on the whole situation.

"You're not that big of a spiteful bitch ." Edwards growled back , anger evident in his tone and facial features. An evil grin overtook Ayanna's face,"Keep your dirty , filthy...ass away from me." Some parts we couldn't understand due to her voice dropped an octave.

"If you ever come near me again with this bullshit, you'll find out just how much of a spiteful bitch I really can be."She threatened, yanking her arm away as she turned around.

"Come near our girl again and I will fucking ruin you." Rhegan's threats were never to be taking lightly, ever. Edwards had to fuck up badly if he was receiving one.

"Damn." Dominic brought us all out of our trance as we watched the girls walk towards the exit of the stadium. " What the hell did he do ?" he directed his question towards Kyler. " I think he cheated ."Kyler shrugged his shoulders.

"Is he stupid?" It was Haze who asked this question. "I mean he cheated on Ayanna Heart, he has to have some type of illness upstairs to cheat on one of the hottest girls to ever walk this earth." Haze was a lot of things but he was never a liar.

"Clearly." I mumbled as we made our way towards our locker room.

So Ayanna Heart was back on the market.

"Found them." Sade yelled as she ran towards my room with the box of Prada ankle boots.

"Perfect." I grab the box from Sade ." Thank you very much."

"Anything for my ya-ya ." She kisses my cheek and then runs out of the room.

I pull on the boots and walk towards the full body mirror. "Breaks up with her shitty ex and all of a sudden starts to act up ." Jora says from you doorway. "You know it, baby girl." I wink at her from the mirror.

I was wearing a grey fitted dress, with a black cropped racer jacket, and the black Prada boots, of course. "Finally the girls are all single at the same time." Elizabeth comes into my room and plops herself into my bed.

"Zoo wee mama ." Jora gasp out as we take in Elizabeth." Creed is going to blow a load when he sees you."

Elizabeth was blessed in every aspect when it came to her looks. Clear skin, shiny hair, curvy body, flat stomach, nice smile. She had the body of a temptress but the attitude of an angel. She was like our little baby who needed all the love and protection in the world.

She was wearing a black lace bralette under a black over sized leather jacket, a black mini skirt that had red flowers printed on it, and doc martens. " That's the plan." I thought I heard her mumble under her breath.

"Are we ready bitches?" Sky yelled from the kitchen. "Yes." We called back and walked out of my room. "Hold on." I shout running to the bathroom to make sure that my hair was ok. I was not about to be caught dead with fly away edges.

"Perfect." I murmur before grabbing my lipgloss and throwing it in my purse. "Alright let's go." We dim the lights before we walk out of our home.

When we walk into the basketball house the party was in full affect. The music was loud, the smell of weed reeked throughout the house , and people were making out sloppily in every corner.

"Eww." Jora scuffed as a couple who was making out bumped into her ."Get a room you fucking horn dogs." She pushed past the couple with a frown on her face. " Kitchen." I shout and we push our way towards the modern styled kitchen.

"Who has the Cup condoms ?" I asked as I started making my specialty drinks. " Here." Skylar handed me six cup condoms.

Cup condoms were a life saver when it came to parties , concerts, and clubbing. You would slip it over the top of your cup , which prevented the chance of someone slipping a roofie into your drink.

"Drink up bitches " I say as we cheers and poke our straws through the cover.

Remember to drink safe.

I hopped onto the counter when the star players of the evening walked into the kitchen.

"Eww who let you through the door." Kyler glared at his sister playfully. " I'm the life of the party— who wouldn't let me in ?" She joked back as Kyler rolled his eyes. "I see the cup condoms are getting put to good use." He noticed as we all shook our heads.

Kyler had always made sure to give Skyler a brand new pack every time we were running low. It was his way of making sure that we were protected at all times when he wasn't around .

"They came out with reusable ones," Elizabeth said as she sat next to me. " Can you get those next time please ?" She asked kindly. " Sure thing Lizzie." Kyler said before pushing away from Skylar towards the keg.

"Our earth friendly queen." Sade praised throwing her arms around Lizzie's waist.

"You look good Lizzie ." Abel ran his eyes over her body hungrily. " You don't look too bad yourself Creed." She flirted back.

My eyes widened as my mouth dropped open in shock. I turned towards the girls who were just as shocked as I.

It came as a shock to the boys too because they looked just as shocked as us. Lizzie was also too flustered to respond back to Creed , but tonight it was like she was a whole different person. Our baby girl was growing up.

"Do my ears deceive me." I gasp out dramatically. "Shut up. " Elizabeth says slapping my arm as I chuckle while everyone else chit chats.

"You fuckers left me with crazy Tiffany." Carson came into the kitchen with a scowl on his face.

"Hey ,we warned you not to get with that last year." Marcus raised his brows as he brought his beer bottle to his lips. " Worst mistake i've ever made ." Carson groaned opening the door to the fridge.

"What's up Sade." Dominic drawled as he ran a finger up her exposed arms. "Goodbye ." She shut him down, holding a hand up towards his face.

"Come on, don't do a brother like this ." He whined playfully.

Dominic Steele was the biggest flirt I'd ever met. He was about 6'7, 250 lbs of shredded muscle , and one of the finest men on campus .

"You can't handle me Steele." She patted his shoulder before turning her back on him.

That'll bruise his ego for sure.

"So how's it going, Ayanna ." Haze asked sliding his slimy self next to me ."You look extra good tonight." he winked.

Oh poor little rookie.

I couldn't help but chuckle at him as I brought my straw to my lips ," What do you want rookie ?" I raised an arched brow in his direction. "One night, you and me , hot passionate sex ." He suggested with a lopsided grin.

I leaned in towards him as if I were to kiss him and swerved last minute ," In your dreams, Black." I say pulling back, leaving him stunned. "Can't blame a guy for trying. At least I can say that I was rejected by the Ayanna Heart." He sulked his way back to his spot.

"It's ok buddy." Dominic patted him on the back ." He's too cute ."

"You can't play with a man's heart like this Ayanna ." He cried out jokingly as we laughed at his expense ." First you reject me then you compliment me. I'm starting think that you are a sadist." he narrowed his eyes at me and pouted .

"Maybe ." I wink before Rhegan announced that she wanted to go dance.

"I'll be right there , I need a water ." I tell them as they run off to the make shift dance floor.

"Ayanna Heart." Carson drawled as I opened the fridge door . "It's been what... two years since we last spoke ."

"Something like that." I say uncapping the bottle ." You look great." He says, shamelessly running his eyes down my figure , staring at more places longer then others. " I can say the same for you." He chuckled as he ran a tattooed hand down his face.

"Does your boyfriend know that you are here ?" he asks raising the bottle to his plump lips .

My eyes followed the bob of his tattooed throat as he swallowed ," Ex - boyfriend,"I corrected,"and what I do now is none his business."

"Good to know." He says before walking off to the crowded living room.

Before I could process what just happened, Sade came into the kitchen, " Come on Ayanna. It's time to play dirty Jenga."

Oh great— the game that is a USC tradition . The game has brought people together and torn them apart.

Ok is it author's or authors note... I get confused lol.

Are you guys liking it so far?
