Chapter 16Syncere's POV: Continued “Jazz, I told you how important this was to me. But all you can think about is yourself, not to mention not liking a girl that has done nothing to you. I have to go and fix this shit, before it gets back to the coach that I dropped a tutor that he helped me get. You better hope I can fix this Jazz, you were out of line. Look I’ll hit you up later.” I said, getting up to leave. Jazz grabbed me by the arm. “I’m sorry I just don’t trust that girl, I didn’t think it would matter who tutored you as long as you had one. As for the money, I would have helped you cover it. Why don’t you just call your coach and tell him you got somebody who is better and smarter than that girl, Tracy has a three point five gpa.” Jazz said, trying to get me to see things her way. “Jazz I’m not going to do that. I will not be paying somebody one hundred seventy-five a week when I have a tutor that I pay zero dollars to. You have no excuse, Jazz;
Chapter 17Essence POV: “What the hell is going on? Why is Syncere in my apartment.” I said to myself. I will be calling Kiki as soon as Syncere leaves. I had some fresh cuss words just for her ass. She called me right before Syncere knocked on my door, so I didn't have time to cuss her ass out, but I will make sure I call her ass when Syncere leaves. But somehow, he talked his way into my apartment, wanting to talk so here we are. "So, what's up? Like I said you got five minutes and it started when you walked in. I'm still not understanding the pop-up. I already said I wasn't mad, we’re cool. So, I'm not sure what else we need to talk about. I hope like hell your crazy girlfriend and her sidekick didn't follow you, because I promise it will not end well if they came to my door." I said, shaking my head, because I didn't feel like going to the Florida jail house tonight. Hell, I didn’t want to go to no jail house for that matter. But that's where I would end up
Chapter 18Essence's POV: Continued "Well, I will let you get back to whatever you were doing when I came. Again, I'm sorry about earlier and I will see you tomorrow at the pit at six thirty sharp." He said finishing the rest of his water. "I told you we're cool I wasn't upset, I felt like you didn't take me seriously about that no drama, but we will see how this plays out." "Okay so I'll see you tomorrow. He said opening the door, he turned around and smile. "Can I get a hug I want to make sure you're not mad and I promise I will make sure we can work in peace." "Seriously, you’re gonna need more than a hug to perform that miracle." I said with a laugh. "Whatever, come here and hug me girl." Syncere said pulling me into a bear hug that lasted longer than the average. "You can let me go anytime now" I said getting a little light-headed because his smell was hypnotic and enticing. He had his head buried in my neck; he waited another few long ass seconds bef
Chapter 19 Syncere’s POV: continued. After my shower I was still in deep thought about everything Shawn said. He headed to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. I didn’t even notice Shawn was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal. “I see you’re still thinking about what I said, about your girl’s future plans after graduation? Don’t even hurt yourself. How about the next time yall talk just bring it up. When we first met them they wanted to be paralegals at a law firm in New York. So just find out if she has been trying to at least start interning or anything. We already know she didn't intern this summer because she wanted to be with you.” Shawn said as matter of fact. I have been so focus on getting better stats this season, that I didn’t think anything of the fact that Jazz only went home for a week this summer. I pop the cap of my water and down it quickly before grabbing another one. I walked to my room not even responding to what Shawn was saying. I will
Chapter 20 Essence’s POV:Wednesday 6:05pm “Kiki, I hate you so much right now . That last set of planks right after doing six inches damn near had my legs and stomach planning to kill me in my sleep. I’m going to be so stiff in the morning I’m so tired I want to go to sleep, but I have to tutor Syncere then afterwards I am going to hit that bed so hard it might be a crime.” I told Kymoni as we finished up changing out of our workout clothes. “Hey, you don’t think I’m hurting my damn self but we just got to keep doing it keep grinding.” Kiki said, as we both laughed. “Yea I know but I still hate your guts. I know I’m going to be walking like somebody grandma tomorrow.” I said, still laughing as we walked out of the changing room. I smiled because ever since he left my housed last night he has been texting me some random ass silly text that he thought was funny. I knew he was making sure I hadn’t changed my mind again about tutoring him. “What the hell are you
Chapter 21Essence's POV: Continued Our laughter died quickly; I could see Syncere’s easy demeanor fade, when he saw his girl. “Hey bae how are you? I was on my way to my room, are you just finishing practice?” Jazz asked Syncere. “Yea we’re on our way in now, to start our tutoring session.” Syncere answered easily. Cutting her eyes my way, I could tell it was eating her soul not saying anything nasty to me. Taking a deep breath giving me a forced smile. She said, “Hey.” I could hear her face cracking trying to hold in the pettiness. But me I don’t give a fuck about being petty and I just couldn’t resist. “Hey girl how you doing? You looking so cute today.” I said, waving and smiling so hard you would have thought that shit was real. Jazz rolled her eyes. “So, bae are you coming to my room after you’re done? I want to see you tonight.” Jazz said grabbing Syncere’s hand, pulling him closer to the car. I guess Syncere knew what she wanted because he stepped c
Chapter 22Syncere POV:9:45pm ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS THE PIT WILL BE CLOSING IN FIFTEEN MINUTES!” The person said over the intercom. Me and essence were still working on my assignments even though she only had to stay until SEVEN THIRTY. She said she wanted to make sure I finished my assignments before they were due. So, we have been working on my assignment nonstop. She hadn’t even started her assignment yet. “Hey, I know we’re not finished yet, but you only had a few more essay questions. Once that's done you’ll be finished, so you can work on it when you get home or we can finish it tomorrow.” Essence said putting her things back in her backpack. “Yea I’ll try to finish it on my own and send my answers to you and you can tell me what changes I may need to make.” I said closing my laptop and putting my stuff up as well. “Ok cool, then we can get started on your other assignments that you missed.” Essence said as we got up and headed to the exit. “Do you nee
NOW YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WITH THEM PEARLS! YUP YOU NEED A WHOLE SEPARATE PAIR FOR THIS BOOK! BE WARNED READ THIS IN A PRIVATE PLACE!Chapter 23Syncere's POV: "WHAT THE HELL Syn, I’ve been trying to call and text you since eight o’clock. Where the hell were you?” Jazz yelled as soon as I knocked on the door. “Damn will you calm the hell down my phone was on silent, that’s why I didn’t answer.” “Well, where were you because your tutoring session ended at seven thirty and its damn near ten thirty.” Jazz said, with attitude. “I was at the pit my session lasted longer than I thought. We were trying to finish all my assignments before the due date which is Monday. I still haven’t finished everything and I wanted to try to get extra credit to bring my grades up as well. All my professors are allowing me to turn in my missed assignments. Essence said she would help, so that’s what I been doing.” I answered annoyed. “Well Syn you could have said someth
Wednesday Homecoming 6 am Syncere and Shawn's apartment: “Why the hell do I feel like, I haven't practiced or played ball in months. Coach was running our asses today, and I don't know what the hell is going on I couldn't concentrate for shit.” Shawn said as they walked back into their apartment. “Yea me too. We have to get our shit together because if we play like we played in practice we will lose the homecoming game.” Syncere said, as they both fell on their couch. “Yea I know, Kymoni got my head fucked up so bad, and last night didn't help nothing.” “Yea, I saw you coming out of her dorm last night. I thought you were going to tell her everything?” Syncere asked. “Yea that was right after she walked out and saw me and Leah coming out of the community showers together. I was helping her to shower, because her roommate was nowhere in sight. I was just going to wheel her ass in there and come out while she showered, because the doctor had to re do her s
Syncere's Truck:Syncere and Jazz: “I can't believe you made us ride in an ambulance Syn, my arm is really broken, and all you could think about was chasing that girl.” Jazz said, as Syncere pulled out of the Emergency parking lot. “How many times I have to tell you that you are going to have to start figuring your own shit out. We're not together, we're are friends and if I don't have other things to do and you need something I don't mind helping you out. But me being the first person you call will have to stop, if you can't handle that then I guess we can't be friends.” Syncere said harsher than he intended. He glanced at Jazz and saw that she was crying huddled up against the car door like a scared animal. “Look I'm sorry, I just got a lot of shit on my mind and you're not helping by acting like I am still obligated to be there at your every whim.” Syncere said, softening his tone. Jazz wiped her eyes still looking pissed. “I never thought that you
Chapter 140In Essence's Apartment:Third person's POV: Continued:Unique and Essence: Sometimes when somebody from the city finds out where she was from, they would start to talk like she was deaf or didn't understand words. When she was training for her at home job, once she introduced herself and told the class where she was from, they immediately started acting weird. The instructor would tell the class something and she would automatically say shit like. “Essence if you didn't understand what I just said just let me know before class ends and we will go over it again.” That pissed her off, she's country through and through but please don't think she can't speak proper English when need be. That pissed her off, so needless to say she worked her ass off, and by the second month of working for the company she was training her own class, because bitch don't play with her. Damn it! Kiki was right she definitely had a competitive problem. Essence thought as she
Chapter 139 In Essence's Apartment:Third person's POV:Unique and Essence: “Oh ok cool, I promise I won't be long I just want to talk to you for a minute, but not out here all out in the open.” Unique said, trying everything in him not to snap at her. He knew it would get the door slammed in his face. Essence looked at him remembering she had to talk to him anyway. “Yea, I can give you five minutes, because I actually have some things to talk to you about as well, and it might as well be now.” Essence said, pulling her door open allowing Unique into her apartment. Before she could react, he pulled her into the door way wrapping his arms around her tightly. “Hey, man I just took a shower, I'm not trying to get sick out here. You gotta stop doing that shit it isn't cool.” Essence said pulling away from Unique shoving him, but his size meant he didn't move at all. “My bad I just missed you that's all, when you didn't want to eat with us today, I thou
Chapter 138Essence's Apartment Complex:Essence and Kymoni: “Hey, I wanted to call you to let you know I made it home, because I know once I get in my apartment, I am hitting the shower and then my damn bed.” I said sitting in my car as I talk to Kiki. “Ok girl will have to meet up tomorrow so we can practice and have the girls try on the outfits than. I'm thinking we need to come to your apartment, because the block is hot around here.” Kymoni said. “Wait are they trying to jump you? Do I need to come back over there?” I asked already putting my car in reverse. “Now you know damn well, you would be bailing me out of jail if any of them hoes tried me. I woulda had it storming in that bitch, raining blows on them bitches. After you left, Syncere was trying to come after you, but of course Jazz became a victim talking about I broke her arm when I stepped on it jumping on that he-she that pushed you. Her stupid ass don't know that when a fight break out you n
Chapter 147WARNING EVERYONE A HEAD UP SOME WORDS MAYBE OFFENSE TO SOME FOLKS BUT IT WOULDN'T FEEL GENUINE! Essence Apartment Complex:Anthony's Apartment: Anthony and Unique: “What the fuck was that earlier? Why the hell were you trying to pick a fight with the basketball team? You're being reckless and putting all of our at risk, if we would have fought the basketball team especially during their season. We would lose our spot on the football team, and more than likely get kicked out of school. The basketball team brings in a hell of a lot more money than the football team, not to mention their families damn near paid for this fucking school. What is your fucking problem, Unique?” Anthony asked once they got into his apartment. He was pissed, because it seems like Unique is becoming obsessed with Essence and that is starting to scare him. He knew what a lot of people didn't know which is that Unique is dangerous, Anthony fully believes that if Unique wa
Chapter 136The Dormitory Continued…… When she stepped back, her eyes was on the girl who pushed her as Kymoni rained blows to her face. She was eerily calm for someone who almost fell down a flight of stairs. This fight wasn't like the fight she had in his apartment with Leah and Jazz. Essence squared up, bouncing on the heels of feet ready to move quickly, which she did when she kicked Sam in the stomach when she charged at Essence. She wanted to use her weight to tackle Essence but she wasn't having it. Once she slammed her head into the second wall, Syncere realized that she was literally going to try and count the walls in the building. “Syn what are you waiting for get her off her!” Jazz said shaking him out of his thoughts. Shawn was still beside Kymoni just in case she wanted to get back in on the fun. Syncere went and grabbed Essence by the waist and tried to pull her away from Sam, but she had a hand full of Sam's hair. “Essence aiight come on tha
Chapter 135The Dormitory: Essence was glad that she didn't have to fight that big bitch, nobody was going to tell me that she wasn’t a fucking man. With everybody going back to their rooms silently, she started to walk pass Jazz and what was left of her squad. Jazz was looking like she wanted smoke, but Essence knew she really didn't. Syncere was looking at her wanting her to know that he would be dropping by her house after he talked to Jazz, but she didn't look in his direction. As soon as she thought she was home free somebody pushed her hard sending her straight towards the stairs. “I know this bitch didn't just push my friend.” Kymoni said angrily . Now a lot of things happened all at once, when that man-built bitch pushed Essence sending her towards the stairs. Syncere and Shawn reacted like they were trying to catch a basketball before it went outta bounds. They pushed Jazz and Leah, causing them to slam into each other, sending them tumbling on th
Chapter 134The Dormitory: “Listen I don't know what the hell yall got going on, but I will advise you to put your arm back in your sling, before I remind you why it was in one in there first place.” Essence said looking at Jazz breathing so hard it looked like she was having an asthma attack. More people came out of their dorm rooms trying to see what all the yelling was about, and of course Jazz would have most her squad on the same hall as her. Seeing their captain crying in distressed caused them to rush to her to see what was wrong. “Jazz what's wrong with you, why are you crying?” One of the girls said, putting her arms around Jazz as she cried. “I found out Syn is cheating on me with that fat ass hoe, he made it seem like I was being insecure. I knew she and her friend were trying to get with Syn and Shawn the first day I met those bitches. They are the reason Shawn pushed Leah away when they were trying to get their relationship on track. Now that s
