Drew faced the apple basket he had tacked up on the courtyard wall and slowly bounced the ball by his side. He was setting up his shot, imagining he was Kobe, the Lakers were down by one, and there were milliseconds on the clock.
Thump... thump... thump...
The ball echoed through the Staples Center. The fans had fallen quiet. Bryant sets the shot, shoots, and...

...all of a sudden Shaq comes out of nowhere blocking the shot. Shaq holds up a finger shaking it at Kobe. He looks down at Kobe and pops his collar. "Not in my house. Get me kicked from my home team so now I'm playing with Miami."
Nic smiles and giggles at Drew. He had just packed his shot and was going to retrieve the ball. "Yo dude, one on one?"

"Sucky team, is what it is," Drew answered by way of agreement. It was kind of funny seeing Nic now. Drew had just been going over his last conversation with Lily. "You can't block a free throw anyway. Of course, Shaq can't shoot them either, but that's beside the point."

Nic grinned. "Ya don't need to shoot when you can dung. ARrrrrgh!" Nic tried to dunk and missed terribly. Nic wasn't short. He came just to Drew's upper lip, but he couldn't dunk yet. Nic tossed him the ball. "Just Slam and Jam, my Man."

"That was more like peanut butter and jam, man," Drew answered tossing the ball back to Nic, probably a little harder than he had intended. "Losers take out. You need the parctice dude..."

Nic caught the ball and rubbed his palms. He gave Drew a hard look, but shrugged it off. "Whatever man." Nic checked the ball to Drew and then started dribbling backing Drew up. "Women problems got you stressed, dawg?" Nic turned to shoot a jump shot.

"I'm good," Drew answered as he tried to reach around Nic to swipe the ball from him. "How's it going with you? What's up with you and Lily? You guys seemed pretty cozy at the ball. I heard you guys were going out or something."

Nic nodded listening and trying to play at the same time. When Drew mentioned Lily he froze giving Drew the opportunity to steal the ball. Nic groaned. "Man, I messed up. We were going steady for a bit, but something happened and no matter how much I apologize she won't forgive. I mean I understand and all, but ..." Nic stopped playing. "Now she blames me for running away and even something that I wanted Ari at the ball. I don't know where she got that noise from, but she won't dismiss it. So now I'm the bad guy and she's all victim and stuff." Nic had to get that off his chest.

A small snort slipped from Drew. That was Lily all right. "She's blaming you?" he asked, finding it hard to believe. "So then I guess it's both our faults because she sure blames me a lot too."

Nic shrugged. "Yeah, but I take fault for one thing. I admit I did push her too hard in..." Nic was sure Drew wasn't like that so he stopped. "But everything else I had nuttin to do with and now she's breaking up with me. Or she broke up with me. Man, this shyte hurts!" Nic looked around then puffed out his chest. "Though I don't really care."

Drew had been starting to sympathize with Nic, but there were a couple of things that made him do a double take. "You don't really care?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at the other boy. "I thought you guys were like really serious. How can you not care?"

Nic looked around to make sure no one was overhearing. He walked closer to Drew. "Man, of course I care. I ain't some dawg on the street. I just have a rep to protect, plus it's HER who doesn't care. Man I even begged, BEGGED, the girl to give me another chance, but she's told me naw. She ain't interested. "

{oh, this fight is SO not going to happen...}
"Yeah..." Drew answered softly, totally understanding what Nic was saying. He was more than a little relieved to find out it wasn't just him either. The pushing off on the blame, the uncaring attitute... it was all the same story he had gotten. "I tried everything I could think of to get her to believe me, but she just ended up stabbing me in the back..."

{hahaha, naw I'll tell him what happened, maybe he'll still beat me up Lily.}
Nic shook his head. "yeah, but you don't deserve it. I do. I totally feel her on this one, but ... I tried to explain that I'm just not used to going so slow. That I've been with girls for like a while now and... nthing happened. I almost, but I came to my senses and..." Nic looked away. Ashamed of himself. "I apologize, swore it wouldn't happen again, but I think she thinks I'm some thug or somethin. I would never hurt her on purpose, dawg. You believe me right. You gotta believe."
