The sound of a massive crack fills the entire park, as a baseball is sent flying out. A young boy ran through the bases. He had just struck a massive home run before returning to the dugout. The entire baseball team of red and white jerseys came running and flooded the baseball field. Johnathan Middleton won their middle school's first ever title. After the celebration was over Johnathan walked over to his younger brother "You call Grandma already?" he asks, excited to tell their grandmother what happened. Andre looked up to his older brother and nodded  "Yeah, I just got done talking with her. She's on her way now; she's excited to hear about your home run." "Awesome," he said, wearing a massive smile on his face. An hour or so passes before a red truck pulls up to them. Grandma Middleton then rolled down her windows and yelled  out to her grandchildren. "Hey, boys, did yall have fun in your game?!" She exited the car and held her arms open for them wearing a proud smile on her face as she did so. They run up and kiss her on the cheek and embrace her in a warm hug.  "Yeah, I hit the game-winner," Johnathan says with a giant smile on his face "That's amazing, baby; what about you, Andre? You had a good time, too baby?" Andre nods. "Yeah, I got to third base in the middle of the game to put us up," he said, happy to speak about his accomplishment that everyone was a bit overshadowed by his brother's game winner.  "That's an amazing baby, Well, you boys get in, imma whip yall up a big dinner." she said, getting back in and starting up the truck. Johnathan & Andre followed behind; Johnathan sat in the front passenger and Andre in the back right behind him as they both buckled in "Here we go, boys." she buckles in herself and starts to drive. The drive took about an hour or so. Both the boys had fallen asleep on the way home,they were pretty exhausted from their game. As the car pulled into the driveway, Grandma Middleton turned around and she spoke to her grandbabies with a sweet joy filled tone "Boys, we are here." her voice was just loud enough to wake them up but not startle them as she unbuckled herself. Johnathan & Andre woke up from their hour nap rubbing their eyes,  they both hopped out and followed their grandma into their house  "You boys go in and wash up before; I'll reheat dinner real quick," she said as she washed her hands before getting the food heated up. Johnathan had gotten to the bathroom first and finished washing his hands first as he came out of the bathroom quickly, getting seated. "See ya, slowpoke. "Hey!" Andre said following  behind his brother before getting to wash up himself before rushing to the dinner table himself  "Slow down, baby, the food ain't going nowhere," Grandma Middleton said to a running Andre "Yes, ma'am," Andre says, getting seated and eating his dinner.  The boys finished their food before they ran off to Jonathan's room to play video games before school in the morning. The two boys decided to play Road Brawler 2; the boys chose their characters and selected a map and got to fighting; it became a very close match as the two fought, both getting around each other. In the final round, the fight stayed close; however, Johnathan pulled out the victory, barely beating his brother once again. Andre was downcast about having received another loss but smiled through it, not wanting to bring down his big brother's mood with something that minor. "Night, Dre. Good game," says Johnathan, smiling as he hit the lights in his room.  "Good night, John," Andre said as he headed back to his room and soon went to sleep. Andre woke up to the sound of his alarm clock going off and once he got himself ready for the day he headed to the kitchen for breakfast where he saw John eating and his Grandma doing some sweeping  "Morning, Sleepyhead. I grabbed you an umbrella; it's supposed to rain like crazy today."  Andre smiled lightly in response. "Thanks, Grandma; thanks, John." "Yeah, see, you tell Cody I said hey," he said as his friends were there to pick up Johnathan early. He had student council duties to handle early "Yeah, ok, I will," he said, finishing his breakfast and heading out to wait at the bus stop.  As he waited, a skinny young boy ran up to him he was sporting jetblack hair with white streaks dyed seemingly at random. Cody called out to Andre he wore a huge smile whilst doing so. "Yo, Dre," he said as he ran the rest of the way up, "I heard about you and Johnathan's game. Congrats, dude." Andre looked at him with a confused face. "I appreciate it, dude," he said with a big smile. "But what's up with your hair? You get dared by someone?" Andre said whilst pointing at his friends hair Cody gave Andre a side-eye and an upset pout. "I don't like what you're insinuating, but if you must know, he shrugged. "Well, I don't know. Its like feels more like me you know? "I think it looks nice, and im sorry for my comment" Andre said with a smile. "I hope you're not just saying that,  but I appreciate your compliment." Cody retorted.  "Now I don't like what you're insinuating," Andre said with a sigh before two boys laughed then continued to talk as the school bus pulled up for the two.  Andre & Cody hopped up on the bus and took a seat now, discussing some new games that were going to drop. The school bus eventually arrived at school, and crowds of students could be heard talking about Johnathan Middleton. The baseball star/ student council president could be heard all around.  Andre felt a bit insecure about all the praise his brother got while he was just Johnathan's brother. As the two began to split up to go to their respective classes  Andre turned to Cody and said "Say I'll see you after school, man; I'll ask grandma if you can come by the house later." Cody smiled and gave Andre a first bump on his shoulder. "Awesome, see you after school," he said as he headed off to class. Andre sat through classes, paying enough attention to get notes and to catch glances at his crush, Tae Winters.  He had been working up the courage to ask her out for a while at that point, and after a good game yesterday, he felt today was the day. "Please let me not mess this up." After the school day had ended, a wave of students came out of their classes and started to head home. Andre called out too Tae before she headed to home near a private place near the lockers. "Hey, uhh Tea, I was wondering if you were interested in going out with me sometime," he said with a nervous face.  Tae smiled "Oh, Andre, you are so sweet, but I have my eyes on someone else right now; but you're amazing," she says in a kind, light-hearted tone. Andre frowns "....I see. Well, thanks. Sorry if this was awkward for you," he says, quickly becoming downcast about by the whole interaction. "Oh, don't worry about that; I hope you find the right girl for you, though," she says, patting his shoulder and walking off afterwards . A bummed-out Andre made his way outside into the parking lot while walking through he saw Tae talking to Johnathan out of the corner of his eye. Andre wanting to hear more had walked close enough to overhear their conversation "So, Johnathan, would you go without me?" she asked, enthralled with the person in front of her. Johnathan replies, "Sure thing, that sounds pretty nice, honestly." Andre who was already feeling frustrated ran off after overhearing the confession, tears starting to well up in his eyes Johnathan had noticed his brother suddenly run off and wanting to know what was wrong he chased after him, whilst running Andre had failed to notice a car had decided to run the red light but before anything could hit him he felt himself be pushed far landing into the grass of the crosswalk on the other side Andre turned to see what happened and he let out a blood curdling scream.
