《Hoops •LaMelo Ball•》Just friends my ass
Advertisement
Me Melo and Metri are in the third row of seats. Gelo Isabella and Eli are in the second row, Lonzo is driving and Denise is passenger seat.
"Denise you the DJ put on some music." Melo said.
"What you trynna listen to dip?" Zo asked.
"Turn on XOXO tour llif3." Gelo answered for him.
I put my earphone in only for Melo to take them out.
"You good?"
"Yeah." I said shortly.
"No you not." He said hugging me side ways.
"Oh." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"What happened? Who did it?"
"My parents aren't home."
He looked confused. "Uh okay?"
"No it not like they went to the store or anything. They never home." I said. " moms always somewhere else and my dad is too. They are only home two weeks out of the month and even when they are home they are working. I can't go into there office either."
He looks like he understands better.
"I'm sorry I wish I could do something but I can't. All I can say is try to call them more cause I know you don't do that. And I see you decline all of there calls and you don't answer there messages." He said. "You can't make them be home but they are trying to reach out to you some way."
He was right I never answer there calls and I never text them back.
"You right." I said. " Hey Denise play took time."
"By who?"
"Famous Dex." Every body said at once.
"Who's famous dex?" Isabella asked.
"See this why nobody likes yo ass." Melo mumbles under his breath.
I heard Gelo chuckle and look back at Melo. "Ainna."
We get to the outlet and we start walking around. Everyone dresses comfortable with sweat pants or joggers. Isabella wore a skater type dress but I guess that's comfortable for her.
"I ain't never seen you wear those." Gelo said looking at my shoes.
"Cause I just got them duh." I said.
"Youre gonna be broke one day." Denise laughs.
"No my parents will be broke. I don't pay for my own shoes." I said. "What job do I have?"
"I always forget you're a youngster."
"Denise don't eva say that again." Melo said.
We start walking around and a little boy comes up to Lonzo. He couldn't have been more that 8.

" you're Lonzo ball right?" He said looking like a dwarf compared to Lonzos 6'6 height.
"Yes I'm Lonzo ball." Zo said laughing.
"Cool dude." The little boy said getting excited. "Can we take a picture together?"
"Yeah of course lil man."
The kids mom took the picture of them smiling side by side. They also took a silly picture and Lonzo picked him up and held him straight out in front of him like those cliché basketball pictures.
"Thank you." They kid said. "Hey your LaMelo Ball. And you LiAngelo ball. This is so cool!"
Melo and Gelo laughing at the excited little boy. "Yeah that's us."
"My sister thinks you're cute." The kid said to Melo.
Everyone looked at me but I wasn't fazed cause Melo is my man and that not gonna change for a while.
"Oh really? She does?" Metri said rocking from heel to toe. "What her name?"
"She over there. Lia! Come here." The little boy shouted.
The girl came over in a adidas outfit. She was chocolate and had braids in. She was really pretty.
"Wassup?" She said looking at her phone.
"Isn't this the boy you think is cute?"
She looked up and her eyes got hella wide. "LaMelo Ball?"
"That's me." Melo said laughing.
"Woah." She said in disbelief. "Can we get a picture?"
"Yeah."
They took there picture. "Can I get a kiss on the cheek?"
I snapped my head up from looking at my phone.
"Uh I don't think my girl would like that." He said looking at me.
You right.
"Understandable."
I let my guard down. The girl and LiAngelo got a picture together too and they left.
"Calm down kaylee." Gelo said as we were walking.
"I'm calm." I said honestly.
"She is." Metri agreed." She would been went off on Melo do she wasn't."
"Why would I be worried? If his ass woulda kissed her cheek I woulda knocked the shit outta him but he didn't do life is good."
"She my favorite." Denise said to Melo.
Me and Denise get along really well. She's funny and she understands my soccer problems.
"Guys let's go into dicks." I said running into the store. I love this store oh so much.
They boys laughed. "Y'all are so immature."

We walk into the store and me and Denise go straight to the soccer section.
"These are cute." She said showing me a pair of cleats.
I nodded and looked at the sizes of all the cleats. None of them were my size.
"Caramel I want these. " I tell LaMelo.
"Get them." He said.
"They don't have my size here. I've looked threw all of the boxed."
"Ask them if they have your size in the back." He said.
"I don't wanna be social." I whine hanging off his arm.
"Your being difficult kaylee." Melo said laughing at me. "Excuse me cause I get these in a size 4 and a half?"
"You need a 4 and a half? You taller than me." The worker Melo was talking to.
"No she does." Melo said point to me.
"Oh okay." The worker said looking me up and down. "I wouldn't think a pretty thing like you played soccer."
"What does that mean?" I said with an attitude.
"I didn't mean anything by it I-i- I meant I mean that um you just really pretty and I would th-think that you would wanna get dirty." He said stuttering.
He was obviously Puerto Rican and he was fine but he was getting in my nerves.
"You know what? I think you should go try and find a four and a half in the back." Melo said.
"And are you her do boy?"
"No I'm her boyfriend." Melo said holding up our interlocked hands.
With that he left and me Melo Gelo and Denise went back to talking.
She brown skinned and was wearing some light washed jeans and a black Dicks shirts. She put red and white 5s.
"Cleats in a size four and a half ?" The girl asked and I raised my hand.
"You need to stop leading that girl on Gelo." I said to Gelo.
"Who you talking bout?" Gelo asked.
"Isabella. She really think you wanna be with her when in reality you don't." I explained to him trying on my cleats.
" I know . But I just don't know how to let her down easy." Gelo said putting is phone down. "She's really sweet I just don't love her as much as I use to."
"Well you need to do that soon like tonight cause she really think y'all gon be together for ever."
"I was planing on doing it when we got back." He said sighing.
"Y'all ready? movie starts in 20 minutes we gotta start walking over there." Metri said with a
I pay for my stuff and I take my stuff back to the car and meet up with everyone.
"I bought your ticket were getting popcorn now." Metri said.
"Thanks dude." I said taking my tickets. "Where are the boys, Denise and Isabella?"
"In the theater. They already got they stuff."
We get all of our stuff. She Metri gets a large popcorn for the both of us and I get a whole bunch of candy.
We walked into the theater and tried to find out people. There are so many people in here ready to watch this movie .
"Girl he cute." Metri said pointing at this dark skin boy. "He's not LiAngelo but he cute."
"I knew you liked him!" I yelled stop looking for everyone.
"No I don't." She lied eating her popcorn. "Besides he taken and we 2 years apart."
"Not for long." I drag out my words.
"What you mean?" She said getting excited.
"Nothing. You don't like him remember." I said walking up the stairs.
"I hate you." She said whining.
"I do think Eli likes you tho." I said .
"Nah we just really good friends." She said.
"Whatever you say MeMe." I said.
We finally found everyone. They were in the middle of the theater. I was sitting in between Melo and Gelo. Isabella is sitting next to Gelo and Metri is sitting next to her and Eli on the outside.
"Metri I bought you some candy." Eli said. Her favorite candy is nerds, how he knew that I don't know.
"Awe thanks friend." She said.
"Friend zoned?" Eli said.
"You trippin." Metri laughed.

While the movie was playing I was jumping and covering my eyes. I'm basically sitting in LaMelo's lap.
"Yo chill out." Melo said laughing at me.
"Nigga this movie scary." I said.
"It's really not Kaylee." Gelo said. Isabella is gripping onto his bicep with all she has.
I looked over to see Eli and Metri all cuddled up.

THE ENCOUNTER
One day in 2022, a mysterious Alien Entity arrives in Melbourne, Australia. What is their purpose of coming here? How will our world react to their arrival? The story follows the footsteps of Jack Geralt – a Royal Australian Regiment veteran who, along with his friends, is recalled into active duty in response to this event. P.S #1: Because this is my first time I write and post my novel here, I will wait for your reviews before posting more chapters. Whether you like it or not, I still hope you enjoy reading my novel. P.S #2: I am sure you noticed that the Cover Art is not mine. I simply chose from my collection of favorite Concept Arts. If whoever designed this art sees this, I thank you very much. Since I am doing everything myself and have to alternate between my work and writing, this is the best I could do. P.S#3: If there are any inconsistencies with what you know (for example, location’s names, recent world events and properties), please remember: This Story takes place in a fictional and alternate reality.
8 103Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)
8 126Relic Heirs
Bridget wasn't supposed to be chosen. The middle child between two prodigies, her entire family is shocked when her father's legendary relic whispers the first piece of its name to her, marking Briddy as the heir. Against her parent's wishes, she steps into the harsh glare of the limelight, landing herself a spot in the same magical university that banned her siblings from its grounds, despite being local legends at the school. Now, Bridget has to juggle a family that has no faith in her, the shadows of her siblings that still loom over her school, and an acrimonious rival, all while trying to find her self-worth in a magical relic she can barely summon. Luckily for her, she isn't alone. How do you stand tall on your own feet when you sit On the Shoulders of Giants?
8 160Luster
Growing up with her recently deceased mother’s addiction and her own struggles with gender identity, June Fujiwara was not a nice person. Gaining powers from nearly being murdered didn’t change that, and neither did becoming a mercenary to fund her transition. It took horrific manipulation, the resulting trauma, and the family that helped her through it all. Luster is a derivative work based on Worm by Wildbow (John C. McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.
8 79I became the strongest magical tome. But I am still a teacher! Book 1

Giving and reciving knowlege alway's excites me! So I will not become discuraged! Even though I am a book now and my student is a dungeon monster!
8 219Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
