episode 4
I know your secret There's nothing I miss about Texas. It's always way too hot, too many bugs, and, oh yeah, my family lives there.
For eighteen years, I've wanted to escape that hellhole, and now that I have, nothing in my body misses home. I hated it there.
But here? I'm a completely different person. I'm someone.
Even though I know who I really am, these people don't.
The girls looking at me right now? All they see are my good looks and skills on the court
They don't see beyond the image I've tried so hard to keep. I fucking love it.
Aiden Pierce
*lift his chin*
The group of girls walking past me, the redhead in the mix keeping her eyes on me until she leaves the room.
Jordan
*nudges him on the arm*
Jordan
Can you talk to Grayson about it?
Aiden Pierce
He doesn't do that anymore. *tell him, stuffing the paper in his pocket*
Jordan
You've got to be kidding me.
Aiden Pierce
*shrug, opening the door*
Aiden Pierce
It's business class. It's not hard
Grayson's side hustle of doing assignments for people stopped months ago.
Even though I've never used his services, many of my teammates have, and now that he's not doing that anymore, they have to actually work for their grades.
Jordan
For you. I don't have time for this shit. I have practice all week
Aiden Pierce
Coach still busting your balls?
Knowing damn well he is. Jordan's good, but he can get distracted. Can't fault Coach for wanting him to be more prepared.
Jordan
You have it easy. *lets out a laugh*
Jordan
He treats you with kid gloves.
Aiden Pierce
That's not true.
Aiden Pierce
Don't be jealous just because I'm the best player on the team. *joke, pushing through the doors to the courtyard*
Jordan
Best player, my ass. *scoff*
Aiden Pierce
*let out a laugh*
I might be teasing him, but I work hard for that spot. Being captain isn't a joke to me or a pastime.
Basketball is my number one priority. My only priority. So even though he might not agree, I will get there. I will be the best on the team, and I will get drafted.
It has to happen; otherwise, I have nothing.
