After the phone went off I laid there in the bed. I didn’t know what to do. My Samsung Galaxy Note III was lying on my chest. I thought about calling Jerry to talk about our plans tomorrow to smoke up with Joe, but I don’t want to miss Christy’s call when she calls me back. I turned over and laid on my stomach flat on the bed and I began toying with my phone. I opened up the Internet Browser on my phone “Google Chrome”, I went to NBA.com and began watching some recaps of the games that happened the previous day, I missed them all, I didn’t get a chance to watch them, due to my football game that I had to attend. Even though I was a really good football player and I love the game very much, deep down inside my true love was for Basketball. I love watching it, I love the players, I love the stats, and most importantly I loved playing it. I was actually a pretty good basketball player. If I wanted to I could’ve played for the school’s basketball team, rather than football. But everybody knew that I was a football player and I was made for it, I had the perfect body type for it. Plus, my school didn’t have a really good football team, the amount of games that we lose every year is quite disappointing, the basketball team had a much better record than the football team, so I figured I’ll just play football, the basketball team will be fine without me. Football... practice, Wait… Don’t I have practice today?? I quickly thought to myself, I didn’t know if whether practice was going to be today or tomorrow on Tuesday. I quickly turned over on my bed and sat up and got my phone from my chest. I quickly turned it on to my Contact List and scrolled down to “Coach”. My football coach, he was a middle-aged stocky fellow, he had thin eyebrows, tall, and he had a mustache and always dressed tacky and old-fashioned, I wish he had the same sense of swag as Mr. Bulk. His name was “Coach Darwin”, but I just addressed him as “Darwin.”
I called him quickly. The phone rang once… twice… three time.
“Hello!” Darwin’s voice came on the other end of the line.
“Hey Darwin wassup this Jason.” I said to my coach.
“Oh hey Jason how you doing man?” Darwin said.
“Pretty good, I just wanted to know if we’re gonna have practice today or not?” I said to Darwin.
“No sir, we gon be hitting the field tomorrow right after school!” Darwin said.
“Oh ok, yeah I was just checking, I’ll be there tomorrow first thing! I’ll talk to you later.” I said to Darwin. Then I hung up the phone. So no practice today. Can’t say I’m not happy, I definitely didn’t feel like going to practice today, I just wanna stay home and chill… and talk to Christy.
I checked the time on my phone, it’s been fifteen minutes since I got off the phone with her, I wondered what was taking her so long to call back. Maybe I should just…
My phone vibrated. Christy was calling me back, a thin smile spread across my face. I wanted it to vibrate a couple times before I answer because I didn’t want her to know how excited, even though I was, but you gotta keep them guessing! I started thinking why is it that I always have my phone on vibrate while I’m at the house? When I’m in the privacy of my house there’s no reason why I should have it on private. Oh yeah… Mr. Keen, he’s always shouting at me and telling me to put my phone on silent. He’s been telling me that for so many times that I just now always have it on silent. The phone vibrated three times and then I picked up. “Wassup bae…” I said to Christy over the phone.
