In ♥ With A Tomboi: 05

Joey's POV:

The next day, I went outside in the evening and saw Izzy was out there too. She was just walking. She was wearing a pink tank top with black pants that had plaid chains on it. She was also wearing black converses with no hat today. I looked to see if she was wearing the bracelet I gave her or not. At first, I didn't see it, but then when I looked back I saw it gleaming in the sun. I smiled to myself.

"Hey, Joey, you playin'?" Dan asked me. He and the others were getting ready to play a game of basketball.

"Yeah." I answered.

"But, now it's uneven." Ben replied.

Izzy then walked over to us.

"Hey," she said. "You guys are playing basketball?"

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"Can I play?"

"You know how to play?"

"Well, sorta."

"Let's see."

Izzy picked up the ball from the ground and tried to shoot it at the hoop, but missed. Instead, it hit the top of the thing and almost hit her head, but I came in front of her and caught it before it could.

"Nice try." I said.

"It's alright, you just need some practice." Ben encouraged.

"Hey, you wanna make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?"

"If I can shoot this ball into the hoop ten times, you all each give me ten bucks."

"And what if you can't?" I asked this time.

"Then I'll give you each ten bucks." she finished.

"Alright, deal."

Izzy took the ball from my hands and backed up a little. We all watched her as she easily shot the ball into the basket, not even missing once. We all stood there, staring at her with our mouths open wide.

"Dude, I think we just got hustled." Ben said to me.

"You think?" I snapped.

"Pay up." Izzy said to us, while holding her hand out.

The guys and I all emptied our pockets and handed Izzy the money. She smiled happily and stuffed the cash in her pockets.

"So, what do you wanna play now?" asked Izzy.

"No more hustling!" I told her.

"Fine."

"What else can you play?" Ben asked her.

"I can play football, soccer,..." she listed.

"What about baseball?"

"Nah, baseball's boring," Ben loved baseball, sometimes even more than girls. "Uh, I also love dodge ball, kickball.... And wrestling and boxing!"

"Whoa, really?" Craig asked this time. Craig loved watched wrestling and boxing, but because of his girlfriend, he couldn't.

So, anyway, we decided to play football.

"Don't worry, we'll go easy on you." I said to Izzy, as we got ready to start playing.

I guess I sort of underestimated Izzy, because she won at football too. She's really awesome at sports and she's runs like mad fast. She grabbed the ball and then made a touchdown.

"Boo ya!" she yelled, pumping her fits into the air.

"I think she just got even more hotter." Ben was saying to me.

"Great." I said uninterested.

"She's already like mad hot, plus, she's great at sports, which just makes her even better. Where has she been all my life?"

I stopped listening to Ben and focused my attention on Izzy. She was drinking water from a water bottle. She drank the whole thing and then threw it out in the garbage. I turned around before Izzy could catch me staring. I turned around to face Ben, but noticed he wasn't next to me anymore. I looked back to Izzy again and saw him making his way over to Izzy.

I looked over at Dan and Craig, they were both busy talking amongst themselves. So, I walked past Ben and then picked up a water bottle, pretended to drink, while really I was listening to their conversation.

"Hey, Izzy, I was wonderin' you wanna go out sometime?" Ben asked her.

"I'm really not interested in a relationship right now." she answered.

"Oh."

"But, we can still be friends and hang out."

I noticed Dan and Craig walk over to them and I followed.

"Um, it was nice hanging out with you guys, but I gotta go now, take a shower and stuff." she said.

"Bye." Craig and Dan said.

I didn't say anything. So, Izzy just turned and ran back to her house.

"Well, today was really nice." Craig replied.

"Yeah." I said.

I soon went inside and then later after having dinner, I went to bed. I had the weirdest dream, but I really liked it. It was about Izzy and me.

A/N: I don't know much about football, so I couldn't really describe it much.
