SANI

I had walked into work and clocked in. I worked per diem at this group home and would pick up shifts here and there when i would come home from university on certain weekends and breaks from school. I didnt make much money here cause i didnt work a lot but it was a decent job to have and as long as per diem staff picked up a few hours within 6 months the company kept you. Thankfully this wasnt my only source of income.

I’d be broke as hell.

I had just finished my fall semester in my junior year in college. I still had to be around campus for practice. I played on the school’s basketball team. We were pretty damn good too. My sophmore year we made it to the final four and won the national championship game. I wasnt sure if i wanted to go pro but i love the game and love to play and im pretty damn good at it. The coach gave us a few days off. Conference play began next month and i knew training was gonna be hell so i decided to head home those few days to just chill and relax.

School aint bad but aint nothing like being at home, on the land, in my element, and with the crew and the fam. After high school me and my friends split off to do our thing. We were all still close to home and would talk on the phone and shit. But we deff appreciated the breaks in between to just chill and be together.

I had picked up this shift before knowing Matt, this kid we went to high school with, was throwing a party for his 21st birthday. Back in school his older brother Joey used to throw these wild ass parties. They family was rich as hell and had a big ass house i swear could fit the entire damn school. Their father owned and invested in a block of buisnesses in the city which overtime went on to make him mad money. Like millionaire money. After Matt graduated him and his brother had worked under their father for a bit, to learn how to manage the buisnesses. After a while they pops retired early so that him and their moms could travel, leaving everything to them. I heard they were doing pretty well for themselves.

One of my best friends, Kei, had called me earlier to ask if i was going to the party.

“ Hey Boo”

“ Hey girl wyd “

“ shit, just got in not too long ago. Whatcha ass doing ?”

“shit calling to see if you going to Matt’s party tonight”

“Matt… big ass house matt ?”

“ yeah girl he having a party for his 21st and texted Eric and told us to pull up. He posted it on his ig.”

“Girl i wish i would have known before i picked up this overnight shift with Dana.”

Our homegirl Dana worked part time overnights at the job and had asked me to work with her cause her coworker took off. She hated working with random ass people and asked if i could cover.

“Damn girl what time you suppose to go in?”

“10”

“I heard mad people suppose to be there.”

“ The guys home yet?”

“Yeah they got back yesterday. They only staying for a week though, they have to head back for training. They’ll be back for christmas though. “

Erik, Kei’s brother, and our two other close friends, Troy and DJ, went to the same university together and played on their basketball team. As kids we were always in competition with eachother. When i first met them they asked me if i wanted to play ball. They didnt know i knew how to play. On the rez, me and my cousins balled out all the time. Our first game i was paired up with Dj, Eric and Troy teamed together. Kei and Dana watched on the side. Dj was small as hell as a kid and being that they didnt know my skills, they thought it was a easy win for them. Suckas. 9 year old me bustin they ass. I was crossin’ em up, knockin shots in they face, taking lay ups, blocking shots, all that. It was the funniest shit ever. Erik and Troy started arguing, and after we beat them Troy threw the basketball into the neighbors yard. Sore fuckin’ loser. We played all the time after that, always tryna beat eachother. Now they all over 6foot, nice as hell. All got scholarships to play ball. Proud of them.

Still cant ball better than me though.
