BASKETBALLS CAN SAY SO MUCH

Rebecca sat chewing her gum and harmlessly minding her own business, as she sat down at the local park in Orlando Florida. She was waiting anxiously for her friend Natasha to hurry up - she was beyond fashionably late, and Rebecca hated the looks she was getting from passer-by's.
'Haven't they seen a chick in a devil costume before' she mumbles to herself
She was heading to a huge costume party and Natasha had this weird fear about Rebecca's long driveway, and plus she hadn't quite mastered the concept of driving without hitting, so she'd promised to meet her outside, by the basketball court.
She studies her watch, again.
“Shit” she utters under her breath
“Watch-out” a male voice yelled from behind her.
But the warning was too late, the ball came crashing down directly into the muddy pool to the left of Rebecca, she screams as the dirty water sprays up her.
“Oh-MI-GOD!” she screams, studying the brown spots all over here
“Look I'm really sorry” a puffed, slightly sweaty, guy pleads, running from the court to Rebecca
“Yeah well you should be” she curses, too busy trying to wipe of the mess, to even look up.
“Let me help” he utters, walking in closer and using the corner of his T-shirt as a rag
“That's really not necessary” she says, pulling away
She looks up to the guy, who was about the same height as her, with sort of fluffy, brown hair, that carried a few tiny curls, and Crystal shining blue eyes, he was smiling awkwardly, and shyly, she couldn't help but smile, he was like a cute puppy dog, but with a definite sexy streak.
“I'm really sorry” he repeats
“It's okay really”
A green Camero pulls up to the side walk, or rather pulls onto the sidewalk.
“Get in, You're making us late” Natasha screams out the window
“I'M making US late who's the freak that's over half an hour late” Rebecca announces hoping into the car.
Brian smiles hopelessly, then reaches across to Rebecca's face.
“You got a bit there” he remarks, wiping away a drop of mud on her forehead, through the window of the car.
“Thanks, person” she replies
“Brian, and you are?'
“Rebecca”
“And I'm Natasha, nice meeting you, now bye” Natasha interrupts, pulling away.
“Bye” Brian utters, completely struck by Rebecca's beauty
Rebecca waves back at him, also struck by his looks, but she wind up the window, and prepares for a great night of partying, reminding herself she'll probably never see that guy again.

Brian looks down to the ground, Rebecca had dropped something, a piece of paper, he picks it up, ignoring Nick's yelling to hurry up, he studies it like a foreign object for a moment, it was an invitation, to the party she was off to, and it had her name, and address, she just lived next door to the court, his mind was racing with so many options.

* 2 DAYS LATER *
“Nat do we have to watch this, Carson bothers me” Rebecca says trying to steal the remote back from her best friend.
“No, I wanna see what number one is”
“Alright and here's your number one, its the Backstreet Boys, with Larger Than Life” Carson announces
“My sister has a poster of these guys” Natasha mumbles
“I'm addicted now, God they are so hot” she continues
“You KNOW it's not all about looks” Rebecca mutters
“Ha! You're kidding right? I mean you miss 'I only date him if he's a babe'”
“I am NOT like that”
Rebecca tackles Natasha to the ground, in another attempt to steal the remote, but a knock at the door parts the two.
“I'll Be back” Rebecca says trying to sound like Arnold
She opens the door, to Brian's smiling face.
“Hey, can I help you?” she says, not quite recognizing him
“I came to return this” he says, handing over the invitation
“Brian right?” she says, finally clicking
“Yeah, and it's Rebecca aye?”
“Oh-MI-GOD!” Natasha screams at the top of her lungs, from back in the lounge.
“Excuse me” Rebecca says dashing in the lounge
“He is so hot!” she yells pointing down to Kevin
“Is that all”
Rebecca strolls back over to the front door,
“Sorry my friends obsessing over some boy band”
“No problem” Brian says, laughing on the inside, he could hear Larger than Life in the background.
“So anyway, thanks for returning this” she mutters
“It's okay. I was also wondering if maybe you'd like to go out sometime?”
Brian began playing with his fingers, he always did that when he was nervous.
“I don't think so” she replies, after all she didn't know him at all
“Oh okay, that's fine” Brian utters, taken-a-back, he wasn't really used to been turned down.
“Well I Um- better get going, my friends will be wondering where I am” he says, quickly departing.
Rebecca could tell he was kinda hurt, and he was also kind of cute.
“Are you playing B'Ball over on the court?” she questions
He stops and turns around.
“Yeah me and some others are” he responds
“Well, I'd be happy to come and watch” she remarks, smiling
“Okay, yeah that would be great” Brian replies, his mood instantly lifting
“I'll be over as soon as I can pry Nat away from the TV”
“Okay”
With that he rushes of, and Rebecca returns into the lounge, just as the song is Finishing.
“Come on haul ass, where going over to watch some guys play basket ball”
“But you hate that game”
“Yeah but not one of the players, he's really nice”
“Ohhh Bec's is smitten, what does he look like?”
“Come on” Rebecca laughs, pulling on Natasha arm

The girls walk over to the court, Brian waves them over.
“Hey, this is Kevin and Nick, and AJ” Brian says introducing the other players
“Hey, I'm Rebecca, and this is Nat”
Rebecca had no idea what-so-ever who the guy's in front of here were, however Natasha knew exactly who the were and she finally stutters out a weak “hi”.
“We'll watch from over there” Rebecca says pointing over to the benches
“Do you know who they are” Natasha whispers
“Should I?”
“It's the Backstreet Boys, well four of them anyway”
“So?”
“So their freakin' famous, and we got invited to watch them play” Natasha giggles, obviously star struck
“We? I believe I was the only one invited”

The game carries on, as they play 2 on 2, they decide to have a break, and Brian goes running over to the two girls.
“Having fun?” he inquires
“Yeah it beats watching TV” Rebecca replies honestly
“So have you reconsidered going out sometime?” he questions
“You don't give up do you?”
“She'd love to go out with you” Natasha intercepts
