Live, laugh...Hate?

Ember: I rolled my eyes and tossed it back to him. "There."

Derek: I smirked. "I could hardly steal it back the way you were holding it, if you didn't realize. Unless I wanted to get in trouble for sexual harassment." I chuckled, knowing a comment like that usually made girls uncomfortable. Or they hit me. Or both. Just then the teacher whistled for everyone to come to the center so he could explain what we'd be doing today.

Ember: I ran to the center of the gym, ready to play. And prove a couple guys wrong.

Derek: We were playing three-on-three games today. The only way I could pass to Ember was if she were on my team. I nodded over to her "Wanna be on our team?" I meant mine and Josh's.

Ember: "Sure." I grinned at him.

Derek: "'kay, we can play them, if you're up for it." I nodded to my other friends, who were star players on the basketball team, of course. I smirked and looked out the corner of my eye at Ember.

Ember: "Lets do this." I smiled lightly. I was always ready for a chalange.

Derek: I started by passing to Josh, who dribbled it to half court then pased it to me, so I could score us major points. I was good at swishes and half court shots. When I got the ball I stopped, ready to shoot bu then realized I could throw it to Ember. I kept my eyes trained on the basket, but threw sideways, almost as hard as I could, to her. I smirked, let her try and catch that.

Ember: i used my finger tips to catch the ball like i had learned thousands of times at camps. I dribbled down courts and shot, making a perfect shot. right as the ball left my hand, i was slammed to the ground by one of dereks friends.

Derek: I heard someone fall to the ground while I had zoned out. I was snapped to reality as I heard the thump of someone's body on the floor, though. I looked around and saw Ember on the ground and Slade standing over her. "What the hell man?!" Had he just randomly pushed her? That wasn't legal in basketball. I went over to her and held out my hand to help her up. "You okay?"

Ember: "Yeah fine." I was actually used to getting knocked to the ground. I jumped back up to my feet. Compaired to the rest of the team and the other team, i was tiny. I know im short and crap, but this was insane! "But i won our bet."

Derek: I chuckled, even though she had obviously avoided my hand, which bothered me. Like I said, most girls would have jumped at any opportunity for contact. "I didn't see you catch it, I was zoned out. So I don't believe you." I smirked.

Ember: "Your kidding me right?" I laughed lightly. "Fine, pass to me, and this time pay attentio. Gosh." i shook my head.

Derek: "Don't order me around, girl. Go make me a sandwich, in the kitchen where you belong ((god, the guys at my school say that all the time. It's so freaking annoying))." I teased, but backed up dribbling. I put some power into the pass and threw, though I had lost the element of surprise.

Ember: I glared at him slightly, and caughed the ball, dribbing half way down the court the chest passing it back to him, hard.

"Fine, you win." I chuckled and pulled out my wallet. Taking out a five dollar bill, I dangled it just out of her reach, above her head. "take it." I taunted

Ember: I reached up to the bill, but was to short. "C'mon!" I complained slightly, jumping to try to reach it.

Derek:"Come on, work for it." I chuckled and lowered it, but as soon as she reached for it, pulled it away again.

Ember: I rolled my eyes at him, and noticed that he was still holding his wallet in his hand. I quickly grabbed for it and managed to get it out of his hands.

Derek: "Hey!" I wrapped my free hand around the one of hers that was holding my wallet. I shoved the five into her other hand, and then tugged my wallet out of her hand. "There, now you have your money. Happy?"

Ember: "Yup." I grinned at him. "You should have expected that. We are at a school for 'Troubled Teens,' Honesty." I laughed.

Derek: "Guess so." I shrugged and shook my hair out of my eyes. "I gotta go change, but nice job." I winked then chuckled as I walked off.

Ember: I rolled my eyes at him, and walked off. I rubbed my wrist where he had grabbed me. the spot was warm compaired to the rest of my cold skin. I sighed and went into the changing room, changing back into my jeans and hoodie.

(ho hum, what now? : P)

Idk....give me a second....
