Event: Carrington's high school graduation after party at the Curry's residence


It's applause everywhere as I walk into our humongous backyard at my house. My entire family crowding around me while in my graduation robes and in my best clothes. I stand there in amazement as I see a shirtless Jordan with glistening drops of pool water on his chest with a towel wrapped around his neck. My eyes went from his chest down to his lower area as I couldn't take my eyes off of him. The last few games of the NBA finals are approaching and while I knew my dad would be travelling to Boston in the coming days.

My name is Carrington, and I am 17 years old. I was born in Charlotte and moved to California in 2011 after my parents tied the knot during the offseason. In kindergarten I always knew I wasn't the average little boy, I enjoyed playing with dolls, watching princess movies and being mad obsessed with Hannah Montana. As I got to middle school I connected with my current bestfriends Maddy, Brooke and Mariah and we became a clique. We did everything together and we will be attending UCLA this fall.  Jordan  walks over  to me and gives me a big hug.

"Congrats, twerp". He said to me in a joking voice

"thank you, beanhead". I said back

Jordan looks down at his phone and he smirks while he's texting some girl.

"Jordan, who in the hell are you texting". I say glancing at his phone

"lil girl mind your business." he says yanking his phone out of my sight

He then gets a phone call from some girl. Maddy and Brooke  come out with two glasses of sparkling grape juice.


Jordan walks up to me and whispers he'll be right back into my ear.


"Girl, is he seeing somebody". Mariah whispers to me 

"Ion know girl, if he is I'll try not to be jealous." Brooke said

Jordan walks back into the party with a tall brown-skinned girl with long luscious locks and a party dress.  

It takes me a while to figure out who she is. 

She's the surgeon with the little brother, Devyn Steele.

She walks in holding his hand and excited to see me,

" Carrington, congrats girl." she said to me.

"Thank you, girl." I said 

"What brings you here to the Bay Area." I said

"I been off work doing surgeries and I had the day off." she responded

"Where's Kai"? I asked

"He's hanging out with his friends." she responded

" Oh, that's nice." I said 

I tried so hard not to be jealous  that my best friend is attracted to someone else, which makes me feel like I'm being repalced.
