KENDALL
--------------------------------

It had been a week since the whole Mac Flurry and the 'McFlurry' incident, we hadn't talked since, I mean even if it didn't happen why would he talk to me anyways? God, I wish I could just forget that ever happened, but on the bright side Rose had stopped bugging me about the incident, but that didn't mean she deleted the video she took on her phone, she's probably saving it for guarduation but anyways, that's awhile away. I never understood how she always had her phone on her at all of the right times to capture moments like those, I would call it a blessing and a curse.

I slipped on my basketball shorts, they weren't what I'd call 'fashionable', but they did the job, I pulled my jersey on, shoved my white Nike shoes onto my feet, and I was good to go.

Before running out of my room I took in my appearence in my body length mirror - or should I say room length mirror, I pulled back my dark hair out of my face into a high ponytail with an elastic band.

Hopping down the flight of stairs (because I was slightly running late), I attempted to tie up my shoelaces while  going down the stairs, but in a result I had almost fell head first into my own doom at the bottom of the stair case, I settled that it was better to just do them up once I got inside the car.

I ran straight to the door, I was tripping over my own feet, my mum sat inside the car, as I jumped in closing the door my laces got stuck in between the door, I groaned tugging them inside the vehicle.

"Seatbelt on sweetie." Mum smiled as she turned the keys in the ignition, the car roared to life as I quickly pulled the seat belt from the side of the car across my body, and into its slot. As we prepared to drive down the driveway the car stopped. Completely.

Could this day get any worse? I had training to get to and I was already running behind scehdule as it is, but now? This was a whole new level of tardiness. I groaned resting my head against the window on my right side.

Mum attempted to start up the car once again but it was only a replay of what had just happened moments earlier when we were about to set off. Attempt after attempt, it didn't matter, the car wasn't starting up any time soon. I hid my face in the car seat as I wanted to curl up into a ball and cry, why today? Out of all days?

"Honey-" I turned to face my mum who wore a frown on her face as I could see in her eyes she was sorry. I waved her off, not needing to hear the rest of her sentence, because I already knew where it was heading, which sucked.

"It's okay mum, don't worry about it." I smiled sheepishly as I unbuckled my seatbelt, I pushed the door open, running straight up the stairs into my room, today was officially the worst day ever... wait I take that back, the worst day after the incident last week of course, how could I forget.

Mac probably thought I was some crazy lunatic, who mumbled just about everything and showed off her oh so glorious nostrils. Just amazing, I was the McDonalds freak show.

I jumped on my bed burying my face in my pillow, I threw off my shoes somewhere in the room as I just wanted this terrible day to end, it was the first day of training for the season and I'm not even there, what kind of team player am I? I wouldn't be suprised if I got kicked off the team, the Coach doesn't take tardiness light heartedly.

I closed my eyes tightly shut, I felt the warm sun rays shine through my window and into my room, the weather certainly did not match my current mood.

"Kendall would you please wake up?" spoke a familiar voice, although I decided to not bother with whoever it was, I was tired. It wasn't until what I assume to be a pillow came in contact with my body I jolted up in my bed. Everything was still blurry, my eyes hadn't quite adjusted to my surrondings as I rubbed my eyes.

"About time sis." I turned my head in the direction the voice was coming from, there stood a dark haired, blue eyed devil child, Tyler. My younger prankster of a brother, it must be my lucky day, usually Tyler would have let loose thousand of spiders or something whicked in my room if I was asleep, with his best friend Cory. Tyler was considered the evil master mind while on the other hand Cory was the henchman.

Sure, they were young. But not 'that' young, they were both in their seventh year of school, middle school.

"Ty." I groaned as I continued to rub my eyes. Tyler mimicked me rubbing his lighter eyes as he sat beside me groaning "Kendall." I grinned as I wrapped my arms around Tyler, he sat there frozen.

"I love you, my dear, special, younger brother Ty-Ty." I exaggerated as I leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek he quickly broke out of my embrace and ran out of my room, I grinned to myself as I looked back at my alarm clock which read 5:30. The day wasn't quite over yet... oh the joy.

As my vision cleared up, I yawned streching, that was until Tyler marched back into my room wearing a ski-mask, and holding his baseball bat. And may I just add, that was my cue to scream, he knew just how much I hated ski-masks, but besides he looked like he came in here to murder someone... that someone being me.

He fell to the ground laughing historically, as he clutched his stomach, I already knew that under his mask he was grinning like a mad man, in a way he sort of reminded me of Rose, not saying Rose was a mad man of course!

"Get out Tyler !" I screamed "Mum! Tyler's dressing like a serial killer, again!" I screamed ten times louder as Tyler removed his ski-mask he rested it on my book shelf, was he crazy? I didn't want that thing anywhere near my room.

Tyler scoffed rolling his eyes before he cleared his throat putting down the baseball bat, "I've got a message. Gee." I waited for him to continue as I slowly nodded, wondering where he was going with this. "Reace is down stairs waiting." he shrugged, as I jumped down from my bed.

I walked past Tyler, making my way down the stairs, there stood Reace on his phone boredly staring at the screen as I took my time walking down the stairs Reace looked up at me, switching off his phone.

"Come on Kendall, I'm getting old." he yawned, as I hurried down the stairs, when I reached the bottom of the staircase Reace begun to speak up once again.

"Mum told me what happened," I itched my arm, mum just had to tell Reace... he's going to go into a completely pointless lecture now. I just knew it, he always did, no doubt about it, give him three seconds and then he'd start his little zen lesson with me.

one.

"So, you're coming with me to training." I knew it, let the lecture begin... wait! Did I hear right? You're coming with me to training? As in training with the guys baskteball team? As in the team Mac Flurry was on? "Come again?" I shook my head, I can't just make assumptions like that.

"Get ready, you're coming with me to training."

Reace parked his car- a green hummer- in the school parking lot as I stepped out the warm breeze nibbled on my cheeks, it was perfect weather to play a basketball game, although I had a feeling training with Reace would be much more different from training with the girls and Coach Grimm, Reace must be a good coach to lead the boys to victory last season, or either there was much talent within the team, and I knew for a fact that their team was well put together, it didn't lack in any department, nor was it home to any bad players that would carry the team down, no.

"Well get a move on Kendall." Reace chuckled as I had noticed he was already nearing the gym hall, I inhaled deeply and exhaled, with that I ran at a break-neck speed after him, we made few turns as we had finally reached the boys training room, it was exclusive to just the boys team... but I guess this is their one time acception, sure made a girl feel special if I don't say so myself.

Reace swiped his pass card on the lock keeping the door sealed off, he pushed open the door, walking in the boys greeted 'their coach' as I huddled behind him looking down at my feet, I fiddled with my fingers.

"Look who's joined us, today. Well this is a suprise." Spoke one of the team players, David Legends... We used to be somewhat close, well up until summer break.

"Shut up David." The tall male with his almost black hair, holding a basketball in his arms hit David in the forearm lightly, he was one of the only guys there I recognised, only because of Rose though, we had talked a few times before. It was Messi Feilds.

Reace grabbed one of the basketballs from a bag that they were lying in, in the equipment room, it was prohibited for any student to enter equipment rooms, but I didn't understand what exactly they thought we were going to do in there that was so bad... like pump up the flat balls? but anyways, thats none of my buisness.

Dribbling the ball Reace swiftly took a shot, as it was a clean shot I rolled my eyes mumbling to myself. "show off."

I caught a soft chuckle from behind me, I slowly turned to the direction the chuckle had come from (for some weird reason I was making sure I wasn't imagining it).

I gasped, holding a hand up to my heart, startled. "Mac." I breathed out, getting a fright since I didn't even know he was standing there, God I'm just adding to more the reason why I'm such a freakshow.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." he spoke, I swallowed down hard, I shouldn't have come here, honestly what was I thinking? wait sorry, scratch that what on earth was Reace thinking?!

Mac lightly chuckled under his breath as he watched the guys on the team show off their 'skills' to one another, which consisted of slam dunks, three pointer shoots, anything and everything you name it.

"The first twenty minutes of training is spent with them goofing around, wanna sit out?" he suggested casually as I on the other hand choked on my own saliva, having trouble breathing, my heart rate escalerated.

"Sure." I shrugged as we walked side by side making our way to the seats located on the sides of the court. As we sat down, silence washed over us.

"Uh- sorry about the McFlurry incident." I laughed awkwardly itching the back of my neck, he pulled his attention away from the court turning to face me as he ran his finger through his messy - yet stylish- hair, than shrugged and smiled, his lips parted as he begun speaking.

"Don't worry about it." As I thought the conversation was going to end there but I noticed he was still staring in my direction, he continued. "But..." I mimicked him "But?" He grinned, nodding.

"You owe me a McFlurry, with extra cookies."

He licked his lips, although I don't think he intended to do it. I stared at him as he stared back. I had to stop myself from laughing at how much of a child he sounded like, although a tiny laugh did escaped my lips.

I nodded, as he grinned excitedly, who knew an ice-cream could make a jock like him so pleased? surely not me.

"Hey, if you two aren't still busy talking over there, maybe you two could get off your butt's and train. That is what you came here for." Reace called out to us as I grunted getting up while Mac was already standing waiting for me, he sure did like to smile alot.

"Mum wouldn't approve of such attitude Reace Carter Summers." I called out to Reace as he rolled his eyes, the whole room went silent, so silent you could even hear a pin drop.

"Carter?" the whole team exlaimed as they faced me, as Reace face palmed himself shaking his head slowly, reapeating the action over and over as the whole team inched closer to me until they were all gathered together in a circle around me. "Did we hear right or did you just say you're older brother's middle name was Carter?" Mac questioned raising an eyebrow as all the other team members were eager to know.

I looked over to Reace who was shaking his head, as I thought, why not? what was the harm? I nodded.

"Yeah, Reace Carter Summers." I repeated as they all cheered around me, "We'll be eating good tonight boys!" cheered Messi.

"I don't get it..." I mumbled as everyone started jumping around like crazy dancers, with no grace, some were fist pumping others were cheering. Strage? didn't even begin to describe just how weird everything was at the moment.

David ran over to me and explained. "You see sweet, innocent, little Kendall Sumers you're older brother made a bet with us at the start of the year, long story short, he said if we could find out his middle name he would buy us, the whole team, dinner. He was so sure no one would get it! Thank God you came tonight!" David smothered me with a hug, as I couldn't breath. It was weird that he acted as if we barely even knew each, when in reality, I beg to differ.

"Would you mind letting go of the poor little girl?" laughed Mac, by his side stood Messi.

Second chappyy, woo-hoo. The story might be a bit slow pace at the moment but thats only because I don't want to rush into anything like Kendall and Mac just seeing each other around school ocaisionly to them head-over-heels in love with each other or something, I just don't want it to escalate too quickly, sorryyy. But, anyways, hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
