Lucky Charm Tania Trozzo

My name is Roman. I'm slated to go to the NBA and no one is going to stop me. Everyone wants to get close to me, but other than my family, there is no one I care about that I am leaving behind. Until I meet Sophia. My mom tells me when someone like her comes into your life: sincere, kind and most importantly loyal, you hold on tight. So that's what I'm going to do. She's my best friend and no one will get in the way of that. My name is Sophia and I'm super focused on making something of myself. When I have a chance to make the girls' basketball team, it's just another thing to add to my college applications. Then I meet Roman and I just know we'll be great friends. He makes me feel safe. Understood. Like I can do anything. People think our friendship is strange: the reserved new girl and the outgoing, African-American, NBA prospect. Maybe it is, but I'm not letting him go.10 years of friendship means something. 10 years of having each other's back, being there when it matters. We won't allow anyone to get in the way of our friendship. But what if I want more?
