Chapter 45MondayEssence’s POV: Me and Kymoni met up at the Pit. We both had a really busy day yesterday and today so we decided to do lunch at the pit before our next class. “Damn it feels like forever since the last time I saw you.” Kiki said, as we sat down with our tray. “Shit I know, I worked a twelve-hour shift yesterday I needed the over time to make sure my bills are covered as well as some play money.” I said, as I popped a fry into my mouth. “Well, I know if you worked all day, you haven’t heard from Syn nor Shawn.” “No and I kinda don’t expect to. I told Syncere I couldn’t tutor him anymore and with what you said happened to his girl. I doubt if he even cares at this point and as for Shawn I don’t expect him to call either.” “Well, you know the dorms are talking. They said Jazz is staying with Syn while she recovers, they said she was banged up pretty bad.” Kiki said, shaking her head. My phone dinged letting me know I got a text. I picked u
Chapter 46 Essence's POV: Continued Me and President Harris both looked at each other in shock. I’m realizing that the couple is Syncere’s girlfriends’ parents. There is no way in hell, any of this is real. I know damn well this girl didn’t just put her parents on me and they are in here trying to get me banned from school. “Hold up, so yall brought me here because your daughter is insecure about me tutoring her boyfriend? More importantly I had nothing to do with why your daughter was in a car accident. Your daughter and her friend decided to attack me at a party simply because I showed up. Now you’re demanding that I only be allow to come to classes and not be on campus because your daughter is insecure.” I said, looking at them like they were crazy. “Dr. and Mrs. Taylor, there is no way I can banned a student who has paid their tuition in full, for personal issues with another student.” President Harris said, frowning at them because she thought it was s
Chapter 47Game night:Syncere’s POV: I’m fucking tired, Jazz got released yesterday and she has been complaining nonstop. She was being extra clingy; every time I leave the room she calls me within five minutes. I was afraid and happy when coach called me and summoned me to his office before the game tonight. I hope he didn’t bench me because Essence dropped me. I went to the closet to pack my bags. “Babe, where are you going, the game doesn’t start for another three hours.” Jazz said trying to sit up and winced. I hurried over, helping her get into a sitting position. “Coach wants to see me before the game tonight. I don’t even know if I will be playing tonight. I’m sure Essence told the president that she no longer wanted to tutor me. I just don’t know what she’s told them. So, coach may be summoning me to tell me I won’t be playing.” I said angrily. My life has turned completely upside down. I thought to myself. “I ‘m so sorry Syn this is all my fault. I should have ne
Chapter 48Syncere’s POV: “WE HAVE TEN MORE SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME. THE VIKINGS HAVE THE BALL, THEY WILL SURELY TRY AND GET THE BALL TO THERE STAR PLAYER SYNCERE JAMISON. HE HASN’T BEEN PLAYING UP TO HIS FULL POTENTIAL HE HAS BEEN OFF FOR MOST OF THE GAME. ONLY SHOWING HIS SKILLS IN THIS FOURTH QUARTER BRINGING HIS TEAM THAT WAS DOWN BY TWENTY, TO ONLY BEING DOWN BY TWO. LET’S HOPE HE CAN PULL THIS OFF, IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO START THE SEASON OFF WITH A LOST.” The sports announcer said, during our final time out. “Jamison, you have to get your head in the game. I need you to bring us this win, right now they think you are off your game. They think we would be a fool to trust you with the game winning shot. But we are going to play the fool tonight. Trent inbound to Syncere; you take it down the court pass back to Trent you pass it off to Shawn who they think will go for two. Shawn you drive the ball in the paint and then pass it off to Syncere for the t
Chapter 49Syncere’s POV: “What the hell is she doing here?” Leah sneered, “Bitch, I am not my friend, she’s the nice one out of the two of us. You got one more time to disrespect me, I promise, I will give your broke arm a twin. So please say something else about me or my friend again and see what happens next. Oh and that goes for wheelchair barbie too. If yall want somebody to care about your injuries, then you better make sure your mouth cares about them first.” Kymoni said trying to step around me, but Shawn grabbed her putting her behind him, grabbing her hand and putting them around his waist. She peeked her head out under his arm so it looked like he had her in a headlock. “Shawn I promise you when you let me go I’m slapping you.” Kymoni said, I didn’t care about none of this petty arguing, I need to find out what the hell Kymoni was talking about. “Kymoni, I swear I don’t know what you’re talking about I didn’t talk to anyone about Essence, especially not about having her
Chapter 50Essence’s POV: I screamed out loud when Syncere hit the game winning shot. I was looking at the game on the college channel. I couldn’t go to the game but I could still watch it from the comfort of my couch without the drama. I wanted to see how good his team was, yes his team and not Syncere. Anyway, I must admit he was a damn good player and can see why he was the number 1 draft pick. I also saw the interview he did with his girlfriend, they looked like the perfect couple. As usual she was doing the most, I swear it was so fucking weird to see a real-life mean girl. You always see girls like this on tv’s and books and you always say how you would have handled it. But to actually be living it right now and understanding that money provided those kind of females the power, to make you either go to jail and lose everything you have worked hard for, or see them get their way, just so you can accomplish your goals. That chick wasn’t worth the bail money a
Chapter 51Syncere’s POV: I sat outside of Essence’s apartment trying to figure out how I would apologize for everything that the Taylors had done. I took a deep breath; I would just apologize and promise to fix everything so she would be allowed back on campus by the end of the week. I can’t get caught up in her again, when I do I lose control we end up doing things we both regret. I made it to her door in record time, the door swung open before I could knock. What I saw was like a punch in the gut, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I don’t even know what I said when she asked me why I was there. My eyes were trained on the dude that was entirely to close to her. I was snapped out of my shock when she pushed him out the door and pass me. I watch the dude walk to the elevator and got on before I turned trying to walk into the apartment, but she held her hand up stopping me from coming in. “I told you I wanted to talk to you about something. Can I come in?” I asked lookin
Chapter 52Monday morningSyncere’s POV: “Did you talk to your mom and dad, have they spoken to President Harris yet?” I asked Jazz, as I handed her, her medication. “Omg Syn, I told you that I talked to them already. It’s only Monday, they will call Mrs. Harris. They have jobs, so they may not get to it for a while. It’s no big deal, it’s not going to kill that girl to go home after every class.” Jazz said, pissing me off. “Are you serious right now? I told you Friday to have it done by today, and you’re still dragging your damn feet. You messed with Essence’s education and her college experience now you’re acting like you could care less. I don’t know when you became this mean girl who uses her parents to hurt other people but I’m telling you now, either you make sure Essence is back on campus by the end of the day, or you can call your parents to have them come pick you up.” I said, as I walked into the Shower to get ready for my first class. “My pare
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
