"Tonaaa" i drag out, talking to my bestie on facetime. "Girl give me a second my sister being annoying", i see her go out one room and into another while locking the door.

"Tomorrow's the first day of school what are you wearing?" i ask her knowing she been thinking about it for a while. "I was thinking something basic but not too basic, you know?" she replies but i raise an eyebrow at her because i dont know at all😂.

"ughh let me just show you" she texts me a pic

"lameee". "Shut up Aj, it was either this or a tank-top and jeans with a sweater" she responds rolling her eyes. "Anyways what are you even wearing" she adds on. "i dont know yet" i admit.

"send me your options". "nah im good i'll probably just wear some car shirt black jeans and either my leather or camo jacket with jordans" i say.

"and you call me lame? you wear that everyday bitch". "i dont give a fuck", i tell her truly not caring but ik she does.

We talk about Attonas clothes because she was unsure for 10 more minutes until i get a text on my phone. its my ex Ace.

i was distracted from texting him by Attona. "why you staring at the screen like that" she asks. "im texting someone"i kept my response short and hope she doesn't ask details before i hear her going off on Ace, i still dont know why she hated his guts since the beginning.

"who you texting?" Her nosiness never fails. After saying his name i hear her ranting on the phone as i expected. "Girl what the fuck, why the hell you texting his bitch ass. He's so fucking-" her words faded out to me as i read the message notification on my phone

Ace
Meet me at the deli
——————————————————————————-

As much as i wish i could hate him i dont. And seeing that made my heart jump a little.

A small deli at a corner near my house is my cover up for when i tell my parents where I'm going and pretty much our spot even after the breakups. And no the breakups plural is not a mistake.

"i know damn well you not smiling at your phone right now" the words from Attona snap me out of my daze. "bye tonaa i gotta go" i say and before she objects i hang up.

Im not proud of the fact that i want to see him and i may only be 15 but after years of us doing this, it is what it is.

i throw on a pair of biker shorts and consider changing out of this hoodie because its his. Screw it i really dont give a damn. i think to myself as i get my key and head out the door.

3 blocks later i reach the corner with the deli and i see Ace's honda civic parked right infront. I walk over and see he's looking at me with a dumb smirk on his face.

"Why yo face look like that?" i ask him with an attitude as i get in the car (he know im playing tho). "why you look so fine in my clothes?" he asks me in response and i roll my eyes.

"Can you leave me alone and tell me why you made me come out my house Ace". "I heard that our old friends Jason and them are having a party tonight, you down?" i can see he really wants me to go for some reason but i dont have time for this.

"bro no its the night before school i dont feel like starting off my year hungover" i say with an are you serious look.

"ok fine we dont have to go but honestly i still wanna hang out with you" he attempts to persuade me. "Ace im tired asf can i go-". "theres a race downtown that could use another driver" he cuts me off to say knowing thats my weakness.

That racing life is how we met. What i grew up in while being raised by my cousins and my aunt because i was never around my own parents.

"As long as i can use your car" i say and he smiles in agreement.

We get to the closed off street that brings up a lot of memories and i switch to the drivers side. Its me against some other girl for $700.

I peer out the window to see a guy i haven't talked to in a minute, Kaiden and he watches me closely with Ace beside him obviously catching on and his face looks like hes close to starting something.

I focus on the car and when the flag is dropped i floor the pedal. Long race short i won by a couple feet.

i step out the car and go to Kaiden who is waiting right there at the finish line but Ace is further down talking to some guys.

"Damn Angelina i forgot how nice you drive" he remarks. "firstly i dont go by that name anymore unless your part of my hated family, Its just Ang or Aj. And secondly maybe a race can remind you some more" i offer.

"i think ill pass on that before you embarrass me infront the guys" he chuckles deeply. Just then i feel a presence behind me and of course its Ace.

"Back off my girl Kaiden" he demands in a strict tone. "Chill Ace im just being friendly", he winks at me then walks away.

"your girl?" i question him. "yes infront these people you still my girl i dont care because they cant have you" he says then grabs me by the waist and pulls me close to whisper in my ear, "you're mine Ang".

I tremble at his breath on my skin and his words. i catch myself tho and push him away from me. "can you just take me back home, i gotta wake up early" i say trying to avoid this.

he smiles and gestures over to the car for us to go.
