Chapter 55Syncere’s POV: Fuck! What the hell is wrong with me? If Kymoni didn’t interrupt us just now we would have ended up making another big mistake. Why is it that I can’t control myself around her? I was only intended to find out why she decided to tutor me again, knowing what she will have to deal with. I don’t know why I am surprised that she agreed to tutor me again, that’s just the type of person she is. She is always sacrificing herself for others, that’s one of the things I lo…I like about her. But I don’t know if this last decision was the best decision based on what almost happened between us. The bigger question is how the fuck am I going to tell Jazz that Essence is tutoring me again, she is going to spazz out. I thought as I headed back to my apartment. I remembered the earlier conversation with Jazz this morning about her not trusting me. Now I have to tell her that me and Essence will be working together again. “About damn time you got your ass back he
Chapter 56 Syncere's POV: Continued “FUCK! After the game when I took Kymoni back to her room as she cussed me out and threatened to beat my ass along with Jazz and Leah’s ass. I kinda, kissed her, just to shut her lil ass up, but that shit took a turn that I wasn’t expecting.” “Wait a minute, you and Kymoni the short chick that threatens to beat our asses every time we see her and kinda believe she could. The Kymoni who is best friends with Essence the girl you were trying to date last week.” I asked in shock, talk about a day full of shocking shit. I would have never thought of anything like that happening. “Yea, and by the way nothing has ever happened between me and Essence. But what happened between me and Kymoni has me fucked up in the head. Syn when I kissed her, her lips felt like clouds and she tasted like fucking cotton candy. I have never kissed a female that tasted so fucking sweet. Usually, a female tasted like whatever gum she was chewing or some kind
Chapter 57Essence’s POV: A few hours earlier “Girl you saved my life earlier because I almost lost my mind again. I don’t know what I was thinking telling the President that I would tutor Syncere again.” I said on the phone as I walked into my apartment. “You know damn well why you agreed, you’re too damn nice and you know you really like that man. You can lie to yourself and everyone else but you not gone play in my face with the lies.” “I never denied that I liked him, I just thought I would be able to keep it business and that’s it. But I have failed every time he gets in my personal space he is like a fucking drug you hear me. Friend I be playing it cool but on the inside I be a hot mess.” I said, sitting on my couch needing to relax before I clocked in to my job. “Shit you don‘t have to tell me I already know how you feel girl.” Kiki said, which reminded me I needed to ask her about what was up with her and Shawn. “Yea, I saw that earlier today when
Chapter 58Syncere’s and Shawn’s apartment: Fuck Shawn was going to flip when he comes out of that bathroom and see Leah here. Leah walked pass Syn heading in the direction of Shawn’s room. “Aye, my room is the other way.” Syn said, running to block Leah from going into Shawn’s room. “Would you move I know where your room is, I was just going to speak to Shawn before I see Jazz.” Leah said, trying to get pass me. “Shawn isn’t in there, so there is no need to go back there. You need to go ahead and see Jazz because it will be time for her meds in a few and she will be out cold right after that.” I said, turning her, trying to push her towards my room. Just then Shawn stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. “Aye, I thought I heard the door is that…” He was saying and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Leah who was looking at him with a smile biting her bottom lip. “What the hell are you doing here?” Shawn said, a little too harshly. Leah
Chapter 59Essence's POV: “Yes ma’am, I understand your issue but we have went over every transaction and you have verified that you indeed made those purchases. For the tenth time you swipe your card while having a negative balance you are charge a thirty-five-dollar overdraft fee and that comes to three thousand five hundred dollars your direct deposit of three thousand eight hundred dollars and sixty-eight cent so when you subtract you’re fees it comes to three hundred dollars and sixty-eight cent.” I said to the customer on the other line. She has been yelling, crying, and begging to get those charges off. Normally I would help if it was one or two charges but ten, nah sis you on your own. On top of the fact that she made those charges to fund a trip filled with partying, drinking, eating, and strippers. My phone went off and I frowned recognizing the number. My heart raced, why is Syncere texting me?Syncere: You might want to come and get your friend from my
Chapter 60Shawn’s POV: “Shawn, Syn told me you were….” Was all we heard right after my door was thrown open and Leah came barging in. Followed by screaming, “YOU FAT BITCH GET THE FUCK OFF HIM!” Leah yelled running into my room grabb Kymoni's hair and yanked Kymoni off me. “LEAH, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!” I yelled as I jumped up off the bed running to help Kymoni up off the floor, but I didn’t need to because Kymoni jumped up so fast it shocked me and Leah. Leah backed up into the hallway, “Get away from me you fat bitch how dare you throw yourself on him. You could have hurt him; I’m calling the police.” “You better call the ambulance too because I’m going to earn my spot in the back seat of that car.” Kymoni said charging towards Leah, I thought she was going to tackle her. But she stopped in front of Leah and squared up like she was a boxer. When Leah realize she wasn’t going to use her weight to fight, she smile putting her fist up, and that’s whe
Chapter 61 Essence’s POV: “OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD friend we going to jail. OH LORDT, WE GOING TO THE BIG HOUSE! THIS ISN'T LIKE OUR SMALL JAILS! IT'S GONNA BE FILLED WITH MURDERERS AND GANGS, OH GOD ARE WE GONNA HAVE TO JOIN A GANG? I DON'T WANNA JOIN A GANG I DON'T WANT A FACE TATTOO! YOU KNOW MY SKIN SENSITIVE! You know we can’t do jail friend. Who we calling this time? OH GOD, my daddy is going to kill me. If we have to wait for him or your momma we going to be in jail for the rest of the weekend friend.” Kiki said, as she began to panic. “I know friend we about to die in there, I don’t want to be big bertha’s girlfriend. I don't want to wash other people drawers. We can’t go to jail; I told you to stay your ass away from them females.” I said, crying along with Kiki. She stopped abruptly. “You the one told me to go talk to him, I asked you to call him and tell him we was good and you told me no. Don’t try to put this on me. You knew that girl was staying over t
Chapter 62Syncere's POV: continued “She has no reason to forgive me for anything because I’m not trying to be with her at all no matter if I’m sleeping with someone or not. We are never going to be together.” Shawn said walking away from us in frustration. “Syn you need to talk to him, I know he saying all those things out of anger. So he needs to calm down and apologize to Leah.” Jazz said, looking at me expectingly. “What am I supposed to tell him exactly. I told you and Leah that Shawn wasn’t interested in her anymore but yall are so hell bent on them being together that yall ignored him and me.” I said, walking over to the police. “Me nor my roommate will be pressing charges, as you heard from the both of us the women were invited to our house and Kymoni was the one who was attacked.” “That’s a lie the one that attacked me wasn’t invited she barged in and just attacked me when I was trying to protect my friend.” Jazz said, still trying to cause problems. I kne
Chapter 83Syncere's POV: When Shawn saw that Anthony dude, pick Kiki up he damn near lost it, I had to hold him back from going outside to snatch Kiki outta that truck. “Yo you gotta chill out, you can't talk to her while you're pissed. Let's just let it go for now, you heard everything she said, so if you want a chance you better start checking them females you have been with.” I said to Shawn who wasn't even looking at me, but I knew he heard what I said. I looked back at the truck Kiki got into, and that's when I saw the dude Essence was with, pick her up like he was about to fuck her right in the damn parking lot. What the fuck is she doing? I had to use every ounce of strength to not do what Shawn wanted to do. Is she playing games to get a reaction out of me? Well I won't fall for those kind of games, I thought Essence was different then other females, but I guess some shit is universal. “Syn I can't believed you talked to me like that in front o
Chapter 82 Game Over: part 2 Essence's POV: “First of all, why are you listening in on conversation that wasn't about you. Second, I didn't say shit about dating him, and lastly, you don't just have girls in your past you have a harem and I am not going to be one of them. You can pretend to be blind about all the girls you done ran through that refuse to let go, but I'm not good at lying to myself. All you keep saying is, all them girls happened in the past and it's over with, but usually when somebody says, it was all in the past, they aren't talking about last month. Every time one of them sees me with you, I have to deal with foolery, to the point I have to threaten bitches. I don't have the time, the energy, nor the bail money to be with you. I have already been locked up because of one of your looney toon bitches. I'm not trying to make going to jail a habit, because dating you in any kind of capacity, means they will be doing shit to fuck with me
Chapter 81Game over: Essence's POV: “Damn I have to give it to the basketball team, they killed them boys in the second half. Those dudes, Syncere, Shawn, and Trent were on fire. They were unstoppable in that fourth quarter, they made a basket every time they touched the ball, and it was nothing but net each time.” Unique said, as we made our way to the court. Everyone was socializing on the court basketball team were doing interviews for the school news and newspaper. Me and Kiki tried to act like we weren't a little nervous to be out in the open, we knew Shawn and Syncere would be answering questions so we did have a little while, but we didn't want to stick around to risk being caught up in drama. Anthony, Unique, and the rest of the football team were in the middle of the court talking about the game and the upcoming party they were about to go to. Unique was very open with his intentions when it came to me, which was a big difference when it came to Syncere.
Chapter 80 Half time show:Essence's POV: Everything I thought would happen when I wore clothes like this happened. Unwanted attention from dudes that I see everyday in class just stared at me with their mouth open. I knew they were shocked to see me dress like this; hell, I would be too. Then you have the females especially Syncere's girlfriend and her flunky Leah, sitting with Syncere's parents. I would like to know how the hell we end up sitting right behind these bitches; I swear it feels like somebody’s really testing me and my friend. When we walked past them Syncere's dad spoke and told me he can't wait until Sunday. I smiled and gave him the thumbs up. I will say this, we have only been here a few minutes so far but they haven't said anything directly to us. Although it may be because they were sitting with their cheer squad and their coach, so I'm sure that's why all they did was look back at us every few minutes with the stink face. They were making litt
Chapter 79Game Time: Essence, Kiki, Syncere, and Shawn: “Would you hurry the hell up! We’re late because I had to fight you to get you dress and your makeup done. We better be able to find a seat or I'm sitting on your damn back, come on lets go.” Kiki said as she walked hurriedly towards the gym with a whining Essence trailing behind her as they made their way to the gym. Essence couldn't believe Kiki pulled her IOU on her. That was the only way to get her into this damn outfit. Her and Kiki had a pay system, when one of them really needed something from each other, They would give each other IOU's, which means that it could be pulled at anytime as long as it wasn't anything dangerous, they had no choice but to do it. So when Essence refuse to wear the outfit Kiki brought with her, she ended up pulling the card on her so she had no choice. Now they were about to walk into the gym, and deal with the attention that they will get once they are spotted. Essence a
Chapter 78Syncere’s POV: Continued“WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING? I'M GOING TO BEAT HER ASS!” I heard Shawn said as he turned to head out of the gym. Hearing Shawn damn near yell, snapped me out of my anger, I ran behind Shawn stopping him. “You know damn well you can't go out there now. Coach sees you anywhere but in here until he dismisses us, you won't be playing tonight. Now get your shit together, we can talk to them later. You said Kymoni is coming to the game tonight right, so you can talk to her than.” I said, pulling Shawn back so we can finish our set. Shawn isn't the only one who is going to be having a long talk, I plan to talk to Essence as well. It wasn't because I was jealous we are friends and I know how dudes like them operate. She's a freshmen and doesn't need to be involved with dudes like them. I thought to myself as we finish our set, I needed to get my head in the game, because we can't afford to lose any games this season.Thursday: 6:30pm Game starts at 7pmEsse
Chapter 77Thursday Syncere’s POV: A few minutes earlier: “Alright guys we have a big game tonight so I wanted to try something different. I know we don't usually do any kind of practicing before the game but I read somewhere that it could actually lower your performance. Because your body is use to practicing daily, you shouldn't change that routine. So we’re going to give this a trial run, we are playing a team that is number four in the league, so it won't be that much of a issue if this plan doesn't work out. I still believe you guys can pull off a win. With that said lower your weights by twenty pound so you won't injure or irritate any old injuries, it will be light weight training only. Am I clear?” Coach asked and left when he was satisfied that we understood what needed to be done. Even though I hated weight training I was glad for the distraction. Ever since that day at Lillie's restaurant, Jazz has been freaking out about the dinner she promised my parents sh
Chapter 76 Thursday The Pit: 3pm 4 hours til game night,Essence's POV: “I don't care what you say, you are coming to the game with me. If you’re forcing me to do this damn dinner on Sunday; then you are bringing your ass to this damn game with me tonight. Shawn threaten to come to my dorm every day for the next week if I don't show up. If he does, then I will be in jail calling you to pick me up because all his little groupies get in their feelings when they see him giving the fat girl attention. You know what never mind I just came up with the best plan, I don't go to the game and I pack my bags and come to your house until this blows over.” Kiki said and my eyes widen. “Hell no! Nope, what time the game start again, we should get there early to make sure we get good seats to make sure Shawn can see you. How about you were a big neon green shirt to make sure he won't miss you.” I said, as Kiki burst out laughing. She know damn well she not staying at my house
Chapter 75Lillie's Soul Kitchen:Syncere's POV: “Finally, I am glad they're gone now we can enjoy the rest of our lunch.” Jazz said rolling her eyes and shaking her head as Essence and Kiki left the restaurant. “Syncere what were you thinking asking that girl to cook for your father? You made us look like some kind of charity case begging for food. I hope you know we will not be attending that dinner.” My mom said with a look of discuss. “Speak for yourself, I am definitely going to my birthday dinner, it would be rude to not show up.” My dad said and I dapped him up. “Syncere, I don't understand why you insist on having that girl around. She has caused nothing but trouble for this basketball season and our relationship and yet you still find a way to keep them around. Everything she does you protect her and leave me high and dry. Ever since she has been here you have not have my back even once. Everything I ever do is for you and our future, I feel like I am
