A young teen going into adulthood, and excited about the adventures that awaits.

'Frederick Parker a humble and compassionate gentleman, a basketball  player and His also blessed with heights and a body of a model "every girls dream guyyy" that made people called him a player.

This young teenager has everything going well for him, living the perfect life  but that's not the case for 'frederick.

I'm not a spoiler let's get down.

Hi !!!!

I'm Frederick I would love to know your name? I'm new here just getting my stuff together.

"Martin that's my name, you are the newbie that lost his dad and moved right?

Before Martins could complete his statement, I  stomped out of the hall Confused right?

I would've been too, let's go back in time five years ago sounds fun.

When I was thirteen,  just finished middle school, about to go into high school.

Did I tell you I was good at basketball and wanted to be a professional basketball player like my dad?

It's a sunny day which I said" south california has been my home since I could remember where I stayed with my parents and two siblings I always want it to remain so, I'm afraid of change.

Which I wished for and lamented about change in his thoughts.

My father was not just a basketball player but famous, I  looked up to my dad! As a god on earth. We both played basketball together, discussed about girls shared deepest secrets with one another, you could actually say my dad was my best friend.

Until Mr parker had a fight in a game which resulted to suspension of both parties, unknowingly to my dad his elder brother is a "drug lord and a dangerous man which nobody should offend I remember, when I was five or six years old when he came to shoot someone in my neighborhood for just slapping his sister.

This made my mum furious with him because his also famous in some part of Africa, we were threatened with each passing day. Which made me and my younger ones stop school for sometime, December 23, 2020 a day I will never forget.

My father was shut in the mall where he went to get toiletries and other household items, he was been followed.

My mum went to court the case was sweeped under the carpet, my mentor left me without even saying goodbye' it was sad what made matters worse was my girlfriend since elementary school that  broke up with me.

Sonia that's are beautiful name with a skin as light as a man made, you could call her a star but I called her my sunshine.

Her b**bs were big like the moon I remembered when I asked her out, I kissed her, she kissed me back that was it. "Sonia said my mum told me any boy that kissed me would marry me funny right?

We jokingly tell each other we are going to tell our kids how we started dating how I wished! You remember I said I hated change because my parents met at high  school and got married, so I wanted something like that for myself,

Let's just say my destiny is different we broke up because of the threats we were getting from the drug lord.

So her' brother's told her to stop seeing me, I can still remember her birth mark under her left bre***t we started making out at ten (s*x) we came across pornograph and decided to try it, we did all the styles that the actors did and even tried new ones.

To make matters worse my mum made me promise her! Never to touch a basketball again the threats were becoming to much so we had to move a day before moving I went to my ex girlfriend's place can't believe I'm staying that, was we basically did everything together.

It's just memories now, can you imagine she blocked me on Instagram so I had to open an account using my younger brother's name Simeon" she was almost done with high school and made new friends.

Yeah and a boyfriend too, I guess she never loved me or I gave her too much love I don't know that's her business.

Arriving at her place just to give a goodbye note and thank her for the love she showed while we were dating, moving wasn't my thing' but no options were available and I'm not ready to die yet.

Drug dealers were threatening us because of the court cases and everything that happened the little money that was saved up, was used for the case and acquiring a house in Canada.

Her brother's beated the hell out of me after she  broke up with me. I said I will never love again! I regretted that word for years.

Back to present day

I went home straight crying after what Martins said but it wasn't his fault actually my dad is dead so I went back to school the next day we both apologized and became friends even best friends.

Martin had the best of voices! he wants to go to America gots talent and become a famous vocalist, my mum Mrs parker took drinking alcohol and smoking to be her comforter after the death of my dad.

This made me became a father at a early age to pay the bills and take care of my mum and siblings, my parents met in high school and went to college together.

She was a radio presenter in south california so the plan was to interview the famous basketball player from California which was my dad! Good things people say don't last long.

Life without my mentor is really hard but my dad thought me, in every situation comes a solution. I love you dad! So I'm working in a restaurant after school just to foot the bills and I use my off days to train young basketball players, my mum made me promise her not to ever touch a basketball again, but let this be our little secret.

She later found out and was rushed to the hospital but that's not now, so let's keep enjoying. Me and Martins grew closer and closer he would sing for me, when I'm down if I was a girl I'm sure I would marry him.

But sorry girlsss his into guys and say's girls are  complicated being, Nah I only got my heart broken doesn't mean I will stop loving girls.

It's my birthday my mum forgot I was down Martins came with a cake and sang for me, you could actually say he was my best friend.

I could say I have what to live for again, my siblings were almost done with middle school and I was almost done with high school.

My mum still finds comfort in drinking but me and my siblings loved her regardless and promised her heaven on earth, wish made her smile.

My sister Andrea was coming back from school and saw were I was training young basketball players, so she started blackmailing me into doing stuff for her.

I was not scared because I know my mum won't leave that house because drinks and cigarettes are always in the house, my younger brother Simeon was having relationship issues 'I laughed when he told me, and wants advise.

His in love with this girl and scared of asking her out, afraid of rejection so I advise him as a big brother would, if you could see me I'm raising my shoulders here.

It's better you tell her your feelings first of all to free yourself, whatever she says afterwards it's on her and she might actually like you, live life like it's your last days.

You are a fine boy so I started hyping him, the next day he went to school can you believe this boy ironed his clothes over and over again plus he almost finished my perfume.

But everything paid out the girl has been crushing on him too, I was happy seeing my siblings happy.

My sister is going to fashion school I changed my ambition from a famous basketball player like my dad! To a regular man with a paid job.
