I'm sitting on my bed staring at the envelope on my desk. I finally got the letter that I've been waiting on and I'm scared as fuck to open it.
"Is that the letter?" says Diamonté
I nod my head yes
Diamanté is the girl I've been crushing on since elementary school. She's beautiful, smart, funny, and family-oriented. She's basically everything I could ever want in a woman. The only problem is she's taken. We became good friends throughout high school and she's even tutored me a few times. There were times when my coach would keep me out of games just because my grades were fucked. She's helped me out a lot.
"Do you want me to open it?" She asks
I nod yes again. It's nerve-wracking. One small letter holds so much power
She picks up the letter and opens it up. I watch her eyes move across the paper.
"Damn." She says
My heart sinks. I knew it wasn't gonna happen
"You got in" She says with a high smile on her face
"What?" I jump up off the bed to grab the letter from her.
Ohhh shit ... I got in!
"YES!" I yell out
"I'm so proud of you Y/n." she says
She grabs my arm and pulls me into a hug. She smells so fucking good.
"Thank you for helping me." I say and I feel the tears start to come down. This shit really makes me emotional because it's been a long journey for me. Basketball has always been my first love and I always wanted to make my momma proud by going to college.
"You did this Y/n. It was all you" She says
I let go of the hug and I wipe away my tears
"I guess you'll be cheering for me at USC too." I say
Not only did I get into USC but Diamanté did too. She got her letter before me and I couldn't have been more proud. I knew she would get in. She was the finest cheerleader in high school and now she'll be the finest in college cheering for me.
She rolls her eyes playfully "Yeah I guess I'm stuck with you once again"
"You love cheering for me. I saw you that one game when my jersey number was drawn on the side of your face" I say
"Girl .. that was one time. I was just tryna be supportive so we wouldn't lose" she says
I laugh "Sureeee"
She picks up a pillow and hits me with it
"Is this what I'm gonna be dealing with in college? You abusing me" I say jokingly
"Yeah if you don't act right." she says
"Oh really?" I ask and grab the pillow she hit me with and lightly smack her face with it.
"So you wanna play?" She asks and grabs me aggressively trying to throw me on the bed. We go back and forth trying to get the advantage until she has me in a headlock. She falls back on the bed while I'm still in a headlock on top of her body. She wraps her legs around my body to keep a good hold on me.
"Tap out." She says out of breath from all the movement
I'm trying to get out but she has a crazy hold on me. Damn, I ain't know she was this strong.
"No" I gasp out
"Tap, Tap, Tap." She says
Fuck it I'll have to take this L.
