Chapter 73Essence's POV: continued When I tell yall my head was on a swivel you would have thought I was possessed. I looked from Jazz then to Leah who were smirking at me. I turned to Syncere who's mouth was wide open in shock. I turned back to Jazz with my brow raised. Giving her a chance to clean this shit up, but she smirked at me like she won some kind of prize. Her face said, yea you made me pull out the big guns. I looked back at Syncere again and he looked pissed. Jazz looked at him and her smirk dropped from her face and she immediately picked up her menu to avoid Syncere’s gaze. Ok let's do this, “Wow you told me a lot of things about me, some of which I didn't even know about myself. But before I get into everything I would like to first apologize to you girls and when Kiki gets back in here, I am sure she will also apologize for messing up yall faces like we did. We do not take pleasure in beating the bricks off mentally disabled people, but to be fair y
Chapter 74Essence's POV: Continued Syncere’s mom quickly covered her face, so I wouldn't count her wrinkles. What I said was complete bullshit , but people tend to think southern folks had a lot of superstition, old southern ways of solving problems and sicknesses. Syncere had to cough to keep from laughing. “That is a good quality in any wife, every man loves a home cooked meal when he comes home.” His daddy said, causing his wife to look at him like he was taking a dig at her, which I will bet money she has no idea how to cook. “Uh Mr. Jamison I know how to cook as well. I am always cooking for Syn when I visit his house. You love my cooking too bae don't you?” Jazz said, looking at Syncere. He lift a brow at her like he had no idea what the hell she was talking about, Which let me know she don't know how to cook shit. “Essence, I didn't know you were such a good cook, me nor my dad has ever had real southern food before. Maybe you could cook us some of that southern fo
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
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 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 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 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 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 84Essence's POV: A few minutes earlier “OK I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU, IT’S KINDA LIT IN HERE!” Kiki yelled over the music. I had to admit I was feeling the vibe, everybody was dancing close setting the mood. The music had you bobbing your head as soon as you walked in. Unique pulled me in front of him as he grabbed my waist and walked me through the crowd of people on the dance floor. “HEY I'M GOING TO GET US SOME WATER, IT'S HOT AS HELL IN HERE!” Unique said after we found some seats. We nodded and jammed out to the song that was playing. Me and Kiki loved dancing, we spent so many hours listening to Reggae songs like Patra learning how to whine our hips without moving the rest of our body. We don't be playing about our dancing, we take it seriously. We have never been afraid to dance or show our skills, we didn't care about what anybody said especially when we get into our zone. “SO ARE WE DANCING TONIGHT?” Kiki asked looking at me excitedly. I couldn'
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.
