👑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 pas-sers-by and some who were watching the match.

It was yet another Saturday and my friends and I were pla-ying 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 suicide 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 pla-yer 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 h0t and cute. Just like in every high school there is always a guy who is the most popular, rich, h0t and very handsome, girls flocking around him like bees, trying to get just the slightest attention from him, or to d@t£ 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 pla-yer and a heart breaker, very talented in athletics, probably football or basketball. Yea, I’m that guy in Beverly Hills high school.

The only difference is that I’m not a pla-yer and heart breaker, I don’t even have time for girls, I always mind my business, focussing on my studies, but the bit-ches won’t st©p trying or fighting each other, but still I don’t give a $h!t. My dream is to become a famous basketball pla-yer 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 c@m£ 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, plea-se go easy on them” Brian, one of my teammates said and the rest laughed.

I sm-irked 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 alre-ady tall, 6’5 can’t be a waste. It was when everyone began to cheer that the Richy Estate dudes realised themselves and I sm-irked big time, get them every time.

ru-by 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 gr@p£ 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 un-derstand.

“hey babe” Jeremy said drawing her closer to him, he k!$$£d her for minutes that everyone started grumbling ‘get a room guys’

When they dis£ngaged Michael asked her “hey you only complimented this duck head, what about your b©yfri£nd, 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… plea-se I can’t waste my time on them, I have better thing to do with my br@in.

“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 s£dûçt!velook of hers that irritates me so much. I just can’t tell how she always do that without anyone else noticing it.

“damn she’s h0t” ru-by complimented and Michael gave him a deadly glare.

“it was just a compliment dude, what’s your P” ru-by asked as we walked to the bench to pick up our stuff, I picked my bottle water, re-moved the cap and downed the whole thing in a gulp, damn I didn’t know I was that thirsty. I Zi-pped my bag and stood up to wait for the guys to tie their shoes when I saw her.

She was staggering like a drun!kard who drank more than he used to, dirt all over her b©dy as if she just c@m£ out of a pit of $h!t, her hair looked like it exploded in a microwave, her left shoe was torn beyond recognition and repair, her face has no definite definition, it’s just in a freaking god damn mess.

She staggered to the net demarcating the basketball court from the tiled road, she held the net like her life depended on it, like if she let go off the net her death follows.

I heard ru-by whistle with his mouth, he only does that for three reasons, to signify the end of our street match, or to inform the guys about the pres£nce of an extremely h0t girl or to tell everyone that crazy trouble is lur-k-ing around.

I calculated immediately, the game has alre-ady ended, there is no h0t girl around and Kira and her friends are not yet back, theirs is only one reason that can explain his whistle, the girl.

The rest of the team raised their heads to know what the whistle is all about and when they saw her, they bur-st into laughter. I didn’t see anything funny, I only see a hurt girl, someone who has had an extremely bad day.

Although everyone keeps saying she’s jinxed or something but I find it ha-rd to believe, there is no such thing as a curse, I never believed in it and I won’t start now, I can only say that she gets bad luck sometimes.

I used to see her in school, but after she broke a toilet bowl and two sinks, which I have no idea how that happened, the principal asked her to st©p coming to school “…..Before you wreck the whole school, st©p coming here, go home and live your jinxed live and st©p jeopardizing innocent students’ lives.” He had yelled at her in front of the whole school, and she left and I haven’t seen her again until today. Well that was a month ago.

As she was staggering to get balanced or to be able to walk properly, I looked few feet away from her and damn she’s gonna fall, there’s an opening on the net , a big opening and with the f0rç£ she was using on the net, I think she will fall into the court. I tried to warn her but before I could speak, she was alre-ady rolling into the court, my team were now laughing hysterically, I was tem-pted to yell at them to st©p but I couldn’t for fear of being shamed too. So, I just watched her, tears, crazy h0t tears flowed from her eyes like a river, I was so tem-pted to bend down and clean them and as-sure her that everything is gonna be alright, but I just stood there watching them make fun of her, I was afraid to speak for her.

“jeez, look what the cat dragged in” I heard that high peached annoying voice of Kira.

“what cat, where’s the cat, what did the cat drag in” the cute Kiwi asked looking around. let’s just say this one is the dumbest girl I’ve ever seen, but funny too.

“Kiwi, it’s just a figure of speech” Bethany said to Kiwi.

“oh ok” she said feeling slightly embarras-sed.

Kira bent towards the girl.

“hey jinxed bit-ch, what are you doing here, I thought you’ve been warned to stay away from everyone in this Estate hmm” she asked as she stretched forth her hand to t©uçh her face but Kiwi st©pped her.

“Kira don’t! my mum said that if you t©uçh a jinxed person then the curse will be transferred to you”

“like I was going to t©uçh this dirty cursed excuse of a human being, even if I was going to t©uçh her, I’ll only end up plucking her eyes” Kira said with utmost disdain.

“I also heard that if you insult and make fun of a jinxed then the curse will be transferred to you” I heard myself say, I just couldn’t take it anymore, the girl’s cries was breaking my heart, how can they be ma-king her cry so much and not feel any atom of remorse.

“Dave where did you hear that trash from” Kiwi asked with her cute voice, seriously I almost asked this girl out if not that she bec@m£ friends with this devil, she just manages to drive me insane with her cute voice, her cute face, her dumb crazy self, her…. David! Snap out of it.

“you don’t nee-d to know but it’s true” I managed to reply with a soft voice I didn’t want to use. Yep that’s the effect she has on me.

“well in that case I apologise, I’m sorry miss jinxed for mocking you” she said to the girl, and I smiled inwardly at her innocence. She stood up and turned to Kira.

“what” Kira asked

“well do you wanna get cursed, if no then apologise” She said to her

“whatever, sorry jinxed”. Kira said dryly and walked to Michael.

“well I owe no one any damn fv¢king apology” Michael said and left with Kira and the two girls followed, but Bethany turned back and looked at the girl with an extremely sad look of ‘I’m sorry’ before she walked out. I guess this one still has a heart.

“neither do I” ru-by said and followed them.

“dude you coming, cause I’m atta here” Henry asked me as he walked away too with the rest of the team.

I looked at the girl, she looked so tired, so I decided to help.

“no, you go ahead, I’ll catch you later” I said to him. He looked at me then the girl, then me again, shook his head before walking out.

I turned to the girl and stretched forth my hand for her.

“common, get up”

She stared at me like I’ve gone bunkers.

“hey, I know I’m cute and all but you really don’t have to stare that much” I tried to make her laugh by my words but no, she was just sitting on the floor staring at me as if I’ve grown a di-ck on my forehead.

“don’t you speak, are you mute” I asked her. She stared.

“don’t you want to go home”

“I don’t nee-d your help, thanks” she said as she struggled to get up but unfortunately, her right shoe lace got hooked on something on the ground, I looked down to know if I can un-hook it but to my greatest astonishment, the shoe lace wasn’t hooked on anything, it was just on the ground but still hooked, but to what, this is insane. I hovered my hand on the ground to know if there is an invisible nail there but I felt nothing.

“let me go you stupid ground” she yelled at the ground as if it can hear it.

“ok, you wanna go throu-gh the ha-rd way, fine let’s go throu-gh the ha-rd way, if you look at me very well, you will notice that I’m not in the mood for this $h!t right now, I’ve gone throu-gh a lot today so don’t make me unleash my anger on you” she yelled and sprang up immediately but the shoe lace was still on the floor, what the hell! She f0rç£fully dragged the shoe lace only for the shoe lace to re-lease immediately ma-king her bu-tt land fiercely on the floor with a loud thud, she bur-st into another round of tears, I wanted to laugh but I decided against it. I ran to her.

“hey are you ok” I asked. She nodded like a baby.

“do you now think you nee-d help” she nodded again.

I bent down and swooped her into my arms, bridal style and I walked out of the court.
