Change is a weird thing, change is really hard for people to go through. It seems like everyone hates change, but I don't. I'm glad I was away from the shit in Arizona, I hated everyone there.

Frank Ocean's Chanel blast through my earphones as I look out the window of my mothers car. California. It was so beautiful here, I know my mom didn't want to move to LA so she found a small town named Chino Hills.

The only shit I hear about Chino Hills is probably The Ball Brothers, they are known for being real good at basketball. And honestly they kind of cute, especially the youngest one. My mom pats my thigh and gives me a big smile. She seems so happy that we are getting a new start, things back at Arizona wasn't so good. Im glad that she's happy now. I love seeing her happy.

Without me noticing for a second the car stops in front of this beautiful home. I looked at the house in shock, this couldn't be our house. My mom is a single mother, my dad died 2 years ago from a drive by shooting. My mom and I wasn't wealthy, sometimes we barely can eat. I was surprised when she told me we was even moving.

I quickly got out of the car, my mouth was still wide open in shock. I stand right in front of the house, my mother stands next to me while she closes my mouth shut.

"Mom, are you sure this is our new house?" I asked.

She puts her arms around me and gave my shoulders a little squeeze.

"yes baby, this is our home. Now cmon, get the boxes outta the trunk. The haul will be here thursday with the rest of our things."

After hours of finding which room i wanted and bringing the boxes inside. I was fucking exhausted. I didn't really have a bed yet but my mother was smart enough to buy a blow out mattress for the both of us. I checked my phone to see the time, it was only 4:30 pm. I decided to go explore the neighborhood.

I jog downstairs to tell my mom I was heading out to explore. She gave me the big lecture on no talking to strangers, look at street signs and keep my phone on me at all times. I was about to head out the door til my momma stopped me.

"Wait Scar, here's 20 dollars. I want you to have money on you while you put." she says.

I took the money, gave her a salute and left to explore Chino Hills.

I've been walking around for about an hour, petting people's dogs, and admiring the palm trees. Everything was peaceful til I heard loud talking and screaming. Me being the dumbass that I am, I followed the noise. I ended up at a basketball court next to a park, the court was surrounded by a gate. I see a bunch of boys just playing ball and having fun.

"Damn nigga, you cheated on my momma you did Melo!"

"I didn't cheat, shut the fuck up. sore loser ass nigga."

I lean up against the gate watching the argue, it was quite entertaining. I let out a laugh, the arguing stops. All heads were turned to me, there was about 6 niggas looking at me right now. I didn't think I laughed that loud..

"Damn shawty who is you?" a light skinned fellow spoke first.

Man, that nigga look familiar..

I didn't say anything. I don't know these niggas at all, I ain't saying shit to them. I notice there was just one girl sitting on the side lines, must be one of their girlfriends.

"Oh? So you don't speak huh?"

I don't even know this nigga, imma call his ass lightbright.

"You don't need to know that information.." I answered back.

The boys started to 'Ohhhh' like I said a big ass comeback or sum. Trust me, you would know if I was flaming your ass. My words be crucial.

Lightbright through the basketball to the side and gotten closer to the gate. I finally started to recognize this nigga, It's Lamelo Ball himself. The only thing between us right now was this big ass gate surrounding the basketball court.

"Damn Ma, I like them feisty.."
