I just couldn’t believe it when the money came. I was even more surprised that Ruby used it to send me to the camp. With Mr. Nasty runnin’ things and all, there was no tellin’ what could go down. Maybe in her own way Ruby knowed what her dirty-dog boyfriend was up to and she was trying to get me outta his sight. Whatever the reasons, I didn’t give a hoot. I just wanted to go and be away from home and have some fun.

After riding on a bus for several hours we arrived at the University of North Carolina’s girls’ basketball camp. I couldn’t believe it! I was on a real college campus. All the yard surrounding the school was green and cut short, nicer’n Aint Mae’s back home in Texas. I knowed I was gonna love it here. The counselors told me I was gonna stay on campus for five days and live in what was called a dormitory. I ain’t never seen somethin’ so big and clean as them buildings the dorms was in. I wished right then that I could live there. The next thing our counselors did was set us down and let us know what to expect for the next couple of days. I wondered how they would be able to know what was gonna happen every day we was there. I thought they was real smart. One thing they said made my belly jump all over the place: they told us to invite our families to see us in our last game. Somehow, I knew betta’ than to even think ’bout it. It was one thing to ask Ruby for money for a camp; it was another to ask her to come and watch me play some game. I didn’t let myself believe one minute that that was gonna ever happen. Instead I tuned them words “invite your families” right on outta my mind.
