Chapter 126Homecoming week: Tuesday Part 5.1Round 2: “Ok folks that round was ….something else. Ladies what we're going to do is get you to go ahead and write down the number of who it is you think you kiss.” The announcer said, stumbling over his words. “Now while they are doing that, we will move on to round two. We have a special surprise for our audience, this round will be a little different. This round ladies you will have a chance to spin two times, and then the audience will pick whether you will go with the first or second spin.” The announcer said, smiling when the crowd went wild, to the point it was deafening. Essence and Kymoni shook their heads, they knew this was about to be some bull shit. Now again the same rules will apply you will have five second to find the guy's lips and five seconds to kiss. The faster you find his face the longer you have to kiss to try and figure out who it is you have kissed. I see that all you ladies have put
Chapter 128Homecoming week: Tuesday Part 5.3 Final Round: Round 3 “Ok, that ends round two, ladies just like last time I need you to write the number of the man you think you kissed. We have one more round left before we see which team collected the most points, to win this challenge.” The announcer said, smiling at how much the crowd was enjoying the new game. Syncere and Shawn were both fuming because they were both hoping that they would have gotten the chance to kiss Essence and Kymoni. The didn't know how the hell out of both rounds and three spins that they didn't land on them once. They both knew that they would have known if they had kissed Essence and Kymoni. Syncere was starting to think it was rigged. “Ok, now that the ladies have finished writing down their answers let's move on. The hostess has written down new numbers for this round. We have already used one through seven, now we use eight to fifteen, she is going to randomly place the
Prologue "We did it Essi we are out of that joint it felt like a four-year prison sentence." Kimani said jumping up and down on my bed like she was a 6-year-old. "Would you get the hell off my bed before you break it I got to take this bed to my new apartment at the end of the month." I said looking at her like I'm her mother instead of her best friend, smirking. "Girl relax this bed is supposed to be able to withstand a good pounding." Kimani said laughing. "Well, my bed is still a virgin and I don't want her first time to be with you jumping like a crazy person." I said laughing. "Well shit, you're a virgin so it looks like your bed will get some before you do." Kimani said laughing and dodging the pillow that I threw at her. "So, are you ready for Tampa, we leave in a few weeks?" Kimani asked sitting next to me on my bed. We were leaving at the end of June, so we can learn our way around Florida and get accustomed to the new env
Chapter 1Essence's POV: 3 weeks later "Are you going to help me move this stuff in the apartment or are you going to stare at all the guys who walk past?" I asked, glaring at Kimani. I have taken in six boxes compared to her two. "Yeah, yeah I'm coming geez, you so in a rush it's still early and we just got here can we take a breather?" Kimani reply grabbing a box and taking it inside the apartment. We left late last night so we could get to Florida early in the morning so we were running on fumes by now which meant we had little to no sleep. But I wanted to at least get most of the stuff in the apartment before we take a break. Because once Kimani stops it will be impossible to get her to finish moving everything in. "Let's just finish getting the bed and the couch in the apartment then we can go to the campus to look around and grab some food but that's after a shower and a nap." I said feeling tired myself. "Okay let's do that bec
Chapter 2Syncere POV: “Yo watch out! You walking like you about to go beat somebody ass for eating your last piece of cake.” I said, as a short dark brown skin girl ran into me as I was going to the pickup line to get me and Shawn's food. “Excuse me.” The girl said stepping to look up at me. At my six feet four inches height, she was maybe five feet and some inches in height. She was barely reaching my chest. “No problem you good.” I replied finally able to see who ran into me. She had a pretty face with slanted brown eyes that were so light it almost looked like you chould through them. For a big girl she was really pretty. “Hey, can I get by to pick up my food?” I asked, as she stared at me. Snapping out of her haze, she moved around me quickly. I smiled at how she blushed and seem embarrassed, that I caught her staring at me. “Oh yea, sorry I wasn't looking where I was going.” She responded, brushing past me like she was running from the cops. Just then my pho
Chapter 3 Syncere's POV: continued “Well since we're introducing ourselves, I'm Jasmine, but everyone calls me Jazz and Syn's girlfriend.” My girl Jasmine said Sarcastically, as her and her friends Leah walked to our table like they owned the place. I know how my baby attitude is, she can go from zero to a hundred real quick. I didn't want her and her dumb ass friend Leah attacking these girls for no reason. So I needed to put an end to this real quick. Getting up, my lunch forgotten at this point. “Hey bae, we had to share this table to eat, because this place is crowded as hell. Essence and Kimani were nice enough to share their table with us.” I said, quickly to defuse the situation. Jazz looked around, and sucked her teeth. “Seriously? I see three open booths, that they could have sat at.” Jazz said with an attitude, pointing at three empty booths, and damn if the crowd hadn't thinned out and they were tables available too. Here comes the bullshit, now Essence and
Chapter 4SYNCERE'S POV: "Yo! What the hell was that about? You had no reason to act the way you just did." I said sitting down in my chair to finish my lunch. "Because you never gave me a reason to." Jazz answered back. "Please tell me what I did? Because we were eating and laughing that's it." I said shaking my head. "Those chicks were clearly flirting and that's the problem; yall can't see when chicks be flirting with yall." Jazz's friend Leah chimed in. "You sound dumb, how the hell you know they were flirting? When you couldn't even hear what we were talking about." Shawn cut in. "Shut up Shawn you ain't nothing but a man whore, so you don't care that those girls were flirting. Knowing you're nasty ass I'm sure you got their number and will be hooking up with one of them before the week is out. You don't care if they're ugly, fat, and nasty looking, as long as they're easy. Which I'm sure they are, you could care less about looks or size." Jazz sai
Chapter 5Syncere's POV: Continued She gave me the kind of kiss that makes my dick jump every time and she knows it. "The movie starts at eight so come to my spot like six." She said with a devilish smile, getting into her car. "Alright bet.” I replied closing the door once she was in. "Come on let's go, before we’re late." Shawn said already crossing the street. I had to jog to catch up with him. "Damn, wait up." I said. "Shit you over there wasting time sucking up to your girl, trying not to get your ass beat for talking to those girls earlier. I'm not trying to run drills after practice." Shawn said, laughing. "Fuck you, nobody getting their ass whipped, but I will be tapping that ass later tonight, while you're lonely ass, is at home watching TV by yourself." I shot back. "Shit if I am it's by choice I don't have the money or the patience to deal with these girls. You see that shit you have to go through with your girl, we were supposed to BnD Jazz

Chapter 126Homecoming week: Tuesday Part 5Final Rounds: The loud cheers let Essence know that the wheel had stopped spinning. She tried her best to mute all other sounds trying to see if she could hear Kymoni. She had to laugh at herself, because who the fuck she thought she was? Superwoman! The hostess grabbed her arm kinda rough. “Hey, don't let this blindfold fool you into thinking I don't know who you are. Imma to need you to not grab my fucking arm like that again. Now if you want to have matching arms and hands like your friends, then go ahead and see how this ends for you.” Essence said snatching her arm away from the girl so she could rethink her actions before this game ends really quick. “I wasn't trying to be aggressive, I lost my balance and grabbed you, I apologize.” The hostess said quickly when she looked back at Jazz and Leah who looked like they were hit by a car. Essence nodded and let the girl escort her to the person she had to kis
Chapter 125Homecoming week: TuesdayPart 4: continued The partitions lit up again, with Essence and Kymoni praying that their booth didn't light up, even knowing that they will have to go at some point in the game. Because Leah had taken her turn already her partition won't light up again until the second round. The next two times Kymoni and Essence were spared their turn, but the next time Kymoni’s partition lit up. “Shit!” Kymoni said under her breath and Essence laughed knowing it was her friend. Kymoni stepped up and scowled at Essence who was laughing, she immediately tried to straighten her face to make it look like she wasn't laughing but failed horribly. Kymoni pulled down her blindfold slowly, scowling at Essence forcing her to try to hold in her laugh the entire time. Essence almost died trying to hold her laugh in. Kymoni spun the wheel, and was escorted to the booth of none other than Unique. Essence couldn't wait until the game was over because she
Chapter 124Homecoming week: Tuesday Part 4 “ALRIGHT I KNOW EVERYONE IS WONDERING WHAT THE BLINDFOLD AND HANDCUFFS ARE FOR. DURING THIS GAME EACH PERSON ON A TEAM CAN EARN POINTS FOR THEIR TEAM. THERE WILL BE A SERIES OF TEST WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE OBJECT IS OR WHO THE PERSON IS. FOR EVERY ONE YOU GET RIGHT YOU WILL GET A POINT!

Who is kissing these people. I don't know who these people are or where their mouth been, when was the last time they even had a physical? Because, who is doing that?” Kymoni said looking at the people on the stage with them. “Let me explain how the game is going to go and then you can decide if you want to participate.

Chapter 123Homecoming Week! Tuesday part 3Campus Yard: “Hey, where did yall go they are about to start the first game. We need to make sure Leah can get up those sta….” Jazz was saying pushing Leah, she stopped in her tracks when she saw Essence and Kymoni. Before she could say something to them, she spotted Nyasia and Maya behind them. Jazz decided to use them to take out her anger from seeing Essence and Syncere standing entirely too close for her liking. “What are yall doing here, shouldn't yall be somewhere practicing the routine. I saw yall at practice earlier and yall are going to embarrass the entire squad. I refuse to let yall make us look sloppy and messing up the entire show.” Jazz said, as she walked up to Nyasia and Maya who was looking like Jazz was about to slap them in the face. “First off, they are not your kids and if your other cheerleaders aren't practicing than you don't tell them they need to practice. Secondly, I can tell you right now the c

We went to the mall yesterday and I think we found some outfits we could use, we think you are going to love them. Are you guys participating in this competition?” Essence asked walking towards the girls. “Uh, no we aren't trying to make a fool of ourselves. We know we could never win any of these games.” Maya said, shyly looking around at everybody getting ready to compete. “I done told yall to stop worrying about what everybody thinks. None of these people got you where you are in life, nor are they supplying you with anything you need in this life to live, so why do yall care about people that don't do shit for you.

Chapter 119 Homecoming week! Part 4The Mall: “Hey what's up Jazz and Leah, I was just thanking your boyfriends for saving my girls and friend. I am glad that they were there to help, I got to admit yall have found some good dudes.” Unique said, breaking the tense silence that had us all in a chokehold. “Yea, they are, they have always been that way even when some people act recklessly. It could have ended badly, unfortunately the people who had nothing to do with it are the ones who got hurt. But me and Leah trying to get pass it.” Jazz said looking at Unique, but they all knew who she was talking about. “You are absolutely right, I am sure you know a lot about reckless behavior. Correct me if I'm wrong friend, but didn't both of them ended up in slings and wheelchairs for talking and being reckless, right?” Essence asked looking at Kymoni. “Yea friend I think it was Leah who acted without thinking the first time.
