getcha head in the game [HA] {open}

[Tyler Keller]

"He shoots.. and he scores!" Tyler Keller whispered to himself, as he threw the orange ball into the basket a few feet in front of him. Ty could be such a nerd sometimes, but hey, wasn't everyone? Dressed in baggy, silver basketball shorts and a navy Watson tee shirt, Tyler jogged up to the basket, to recieve his ball. It was his free period, and Tyler was free to roam the school. But he always came to the gym, every single day. No matter what. He liked to practice different shots in different positions. Not that Tyler was on the basketball team or anything. He just enjoyed playing, that was all. Tyler glanced to the door, he thought he heard a voice. "Any one there?" He asked, pushing his hair back, off his sweaty face.

[/i] Nathaniel smirked as he walked to the bleachers "No one too important, relax" He said, Tossing the towel onto the bleacher and tying his sneakers "you play?" He asked, not looking away from his shoes.[/size][/ul]

[Tyler Keller]

Tyler heard an answer back, which surprised him just a bit. He thought that he was imagining things, or something. Taking a quick look at the kid who walked into the gym, Tyler came to the conslusion that he had no idea who he was. Which was surprising. He knew pretty much everyone in school.

"What's the name?" Tyler asked, dribbling the basketball. "I'm Tyler Keller. You've probably heard of me." He said, somewhat confidentally. "Only every day." Ty replied, passing the ball to the guy.

[/b] He said, catching the ball with a small smile "don't get too cocky. I once knew a guy. he was cocky.. fell down a flight of stairs and died." He paused and dribbled the ball a couple of times "I guess the moral of that story is that you should learn to body surf first."

Nathaniel shrugged before passing the ball back"Nathaniel emerson. Call me Nate. You probably know my sister though... Jess. She seems to be getting really popular around here." He added, stepping onto the court.[/size][/ul]

[Tyler Keller]

Tyler had a huge grin as this teenage boy told him about a man who was too cocky and fell down the stairs and died. "Oh. I'll be sure to remember that story." Tyler nodded, still having that remarkably large smile on his face. "Body surf? Nice one." Ty replied, totally not understand what he meant, at all.

"Nathaniel. I'll call you Nate." Tyler told him, as he caught the ball which Nate passed to him. For an emo kid, Nate wasn't terrible. "Um, Jess? Oh yeah. Doesn't she have like, amazing blue eyes or something?" Tyler asked, picturing her face in his mind. "I've heard about her. Just it the halls..." He replied, dribbling for a bit, and passing it to Nate once more, a little harder this time.

[zach]

[/b] He replied with a nod. Moving across the court as Tyler did the same. Tyler seemed like an ok guy, and Nate wondered how he hadn't talked to him before.

"Yeah.. blue eyes" He said distantly before catching the ball right at his chest as it was thrown to him. He dribbled it and spunpast Tyler, jumping up and scoring the ball through the net "I figured all the guys would be drooling over her by now. but she's stuck on that asshole.... I think his name is Tony."[/size][/ul]

[Tyler Keller]

"Ha, okay Nate." Tyler laughed. He was almost positive Nate was in his grade, which was 12th. Nate seemed like a pretty cool guy, besides the whole emo look, that Tyler didn't really care for. But you had to look past the outside appearance, didn't you?

"Mhmmm." Ty nodded, as Nate spun past him and the ball whooshed through the net. "Are you on the team?" He asked, with his arms on his hips. Nate was pretty good. Tyler went up to grab the ball, as Nate told him more about his sister. "Oh. That's weird that I havn't heard of her then. I always scout out the hot girls." Tyler laughed, dribbling the ball in his hands before he ran around Nate and stood at the half court line and shot the ball into the air. Amazingly, it landed through the net. "Wow, I've never done that before." He smiled, replaying that awesome event through his head. "Who's Tony? What the hell, I don't know anyone these days.." Ty muttered, loud enough for Nathaniel to hear.

"Who's Tony? What the hell, I don't know anyone these days.."
Nate laughed as he recovered the ball as it bounce slower and slower. He picked it up and dribbled it a moment, " your not one of those emo kids are ya?" He joked, shaking his head as he tossed the ball "Cuz If you were I wouldn't wanna be seen with ya... I mean look at me, It would ruin my image" He added, laughing softly.[/size][/ul]

[Tyler Keller]

Tyler's face looked bewildered. And slightly confused. Nate Emerson was on the basketball team? Woah, he never would have thought.. "I'm on the football team." Ty told his new friend, "Quarterback." He smiled, it was an honor to have that position, in Tyler's mind.

"Oh, yes. Your image." Tyler grinned, looking Nate over. "Hanging out with an emo kid would just ruin you, wouldn't it?" He asked, laughing, as he caught the ball. He dribbled it for a moment and then passed it back to Nate.

[nate]

[/b] Nathaniel asked with a smirk "So, why football, Violence?" He asked as the ball was tossed back at him. He held it for a moment, looking at Tyler before turning and tossing it at the hoop. It spun around the edge and went to fall, but he quickly recovered it, tossing it through the center on the hoop and bouncing it as it fell through, making his way closer to Tyler.

"Of course it would ruin me.. I mean look at me... me with an emo kid, what the hell was I thinking?" His asked jokingly, tossing the ball to Tyler and moving so that he could make the shot.[/size][/ul]

[Anna Blaire]

“Um, yeah.” Tyler laughed, even though he did not play for the violence of the sport. He played more because… well, he liked it. And girls loved

[/b] football players with their rustled hair and big, muscular body’s. Now that was just like a win win situation, wasn’t it. “Girls love football players. And uh, basketball players, I guess.” Tyler grinned, looking at Nate. Hopefully Nate was into girls. It seemed like half the guy population at their school wasn’t.

“Because you’re so preppy and such.” Tyler chuckled, as he caught the ball. He dribbled the ball up to the net and took a shot. It went straight through with ease. [/size][/center]

[nate]

[/b] He asked witha a smirk. It was true, girls had a thing for guys on sports teams. He guessed girls were attracted to the stench of adrenaline and sweat...He didn't know why. However, it was a good thing, otherwise he doubted he would have a girl look his way "Girls like a guy on a team... Hence why i'm playing basketball, no one really swoons over a musician"He laughed.

"Oh yeah, I mean can't you tell?" He asked, raising his arms and looking down at himself. His back hair fell over into his eyes, and he huffed it away "Hair's always in the way. I'm thinking about cutting it and dying it blonde.... hmm. Think that'll make me look more like..... you?" He teased.[/size][/ul]

[Tyler Keller]

“Yeah, they do.” Tyler laughed, thinking back to the countless number of girls cheering for him at the last home game in November. Although Watson did not win, it was still a night to remember, if you know what I mean. “Yeah..” Ty agreed, shaking his head. “But, there is always one girl who would die if some guy would play her a song on the guitar.”

Tyler laughed, as Nate raised his arms. Nathaniel’s jet black hair was a huge indicator that he was a emo, or at least had a dark side… or whatever. “My hair is brown, thank you very much.” He laughed, running his hand through his chestnut colored locks. “And no one could ever come close to looking like this.” Tyler teased back. “And no. Stick with the black, please.”
