CHAPTER 1
DAVID’S POV
“Dave, over here” Michael my best friend shouted at me as I bounced the ball twice.
I looked at him and realised that he was near the basket bar, so I bounced the ball towards him.
He was fast enough to catch the ball and bounced it towards the basket bar. A guy tried to push him down to prevent him from scoring but Michael dodged the push and the guy landed on the floor, serves him right.
Jeremy got to the basket bar and jumped really high and pushed the ball into the basket bar scoring another five points, that’s my boy.
My team cheered for him including passers-by and some who were watching the match.
It was yet another Saturday and my friends and I were playing basketball in our estate. The Lincoln Estate of Beverly hills like we always do every Saturday, it was more like a training for our every Monday friendly match against any high school that dared to challenge our school in a basketball match, well challenging Beverly high school to any competition is like sui¢ide mission not to talk of swimming and basketball.
Our girls murder any school that challenge us in swimming and gymnastics, while my team kills any school that challenges us in basketball, yes we are that good, I’m the captain of my team.
I have a lot of fans in the whole of Beverly hills and beyond, I’ve won a lot of awards as the best teenage basketball player in Beverly hills and I’m still going far I believe cause basketball is everything to me.
My name is David Henshaw, 18 years old, not to boast but I’m extremely hot and cute. Just like in every high school there is always a guy who is the most popular, rich, hot and very handsome, girls flocking around him like bees, trying to get just the slightest attention from him, or to date him, fighting over each other cause of him, has a best friend who is always the second after him in everything, has a team of friends, the only ones he thinks are worthy of him, a big time player and a heart breaker, very talented in athletics, probably football or basketball. Yea, I’m that guy in Beverly Hills high school.
WHAT A JOURNEY: Chapter 1 – 20
The only difference is that I’m not a player and heart breaker, I don’t even have time for girls. I always mind my business, focussing on my studies, but the bches won’t stop trying or fighting each other, but still I don’t give a sht.
My dream is to become a famous basketball player and I’m seriously working on it and I’m gonna get there soon.
Well that aside, right now my team and I are focussing on murdering and burying these crazy dudes from Richy’s Estate who dared us to an enemy battle, almost half of them are students of Grammy high school, and they definitely hate our guts cause we always beat them in every match.
I was still in my thoughts when the ball got into my hands and as if on cue everyone came to an abrupt halt.
I looked at the faces of our enemies and the fear in their eyes almost got me laughing but I kept my cool, calculating, thinking, planning on how to crush them completely.
“Dude for the love of Christ, please go easy on them” Brian, one of my teammates said and the rest laughed.
I smirked a little, stared at each of them and all of a sudden I made my move, they didn’t expect it
I could tell from the shock written on their faces, they watched me in shock until I got to the basket bar and didn’t even make an effort to jump too high cause I was already tall, 6’5 can’t be a waste.
It was when everyone began to cheer that the Richy Estate dudes realised themselves and I smirked big time, get them every time.
Ruby blew the whistle signifying the end of the game with my team winning, 35-23 points, they were so lucky though.
“Dude do you use magic” I heard one of them ask.
“What he uses is more than magic my friend” Michael said and my team laughed.
The Richy guys grumbled and walked away in shame and defeat.
“that will teach them to respect their elders next time” Henry said and we laughed.
“Hey guys, you were so great out today, especially you Dave” I heard a high peached voice say, we turned to see Kira coming towards us with her friends Bethany and the other cute one, is it grape or what’s that her fruit name again… Kiwi. Kira is Michael’s girlfriend but sometimes the way she looks at me, I just don’t understand.
“hey babe” Jeremy said drawing her closer to him, he pecked her for minutes that everyone started grumbling ‘get a room guys’
When they disengaged Michael asked her “hey you only complimented this duck head, what about your boyfriend, hmm?”
“oh, my poor baby, I was only saving the best for the last but too bad you couldn’t have patience” she defended herself.
“I’m so sorry I concluded” Michael apologised, is he stupid, didn’t he notice that she was never planning to compliment him, she was only trying to… please I can’t waste my time on them, I have better thing to do with my brain.
“babe my friends and I are gonna go get you guys some snacks” Kira said
“that’s so thoughtful of you babe” Michael replied. They walked out but not until she gave me that se ductive look of hers that irritates me so much. I just can’t tell how she always do that without anyone else noticing it.
“dmn she’s hot” ruby complimented and Michael gave him a deadly glare.
“it was just a compliment dude, what’s your P” Ruby asked as we walked to the bench to pick up our stuff, I picked my bottle water, removed the cap and downed the whole thing in a gulp, dmn I didn’t know I was that thirsty.
I zipped my bag and stood up to wait for the guys to tie their shoes when I saw her.
