CHAPTER 1

Dante Howell, A 5'1 Jamaican student of the one and only, Jamaica College. Dante never had it easy getting around, going from one school to the next until he finally arrived at JC.

While at JC, Dante made many friends, all sharing the same interests and hobbies as him such as making tiktoks and having deep conversations about things which aren't so trivial to them. I'd like to imagine their introductory to each other a little bit like

Dante: "Wagwaan bro"

Chase: "Sup dude! Nice to meet you"

Dante: "Respect."

From there on out, Dante and Chase grew closer and closer making their friendship stronger.

Dante and Chase are in the same homeroom, so they always have time to converse with one another, whether it be about girls they have interest in or games, they never fail to have deep and engaging conversations with one another.

On a quiet Saturday evening, Dante messaged Chase saying the following.

"Chase mi bro, u wah fwd a factory tmr? Me n Khalil dem aguh deh deh from 4."

Chase, being excited to be able to spend time with his friends, especially his new friend Dante , replied eagerly, saying "Bet! Kno seh mah dwg up di place, rr skrr."

Dante replied, " Ah bro, link up tmr."

As chase put down his phone after the brief conversation with Dante, he thought to himself ;

"Why did I feel that way when I saw his notification?"

He brushed it off and thought of it as nothing, and prepared his bag to go to the Football Factory the next day.

+Next Day+

Chase woke up early and got ready for 'factory pree' , as he was heading out, he saw a familiar figure and a black Nike tech that by no seemed awfully familiar.

When he took a closer look, he noticed that it was Dante!

"Y'pree chargie!" Chase yelled across the street.

Chase's face looked more excited than it should have, it practically lit up.

Dante: "Yo mi boss! Wah yah do roun' yasso bunbun?

Chase's face took a flustered look after he heard that.

Chase: "Bad G, a road wi deh. Yuh cya a use dem likkle flashy flashy name dem deh... An mi neva tell yuh fi tap call mi dat?"

But deep down, Chase secretly liked it when Dante called him that. All him nuh know why

Dante: "Ahh, mi forget bad bro. Sarry mi boss"

Chase noticed that Dante had a slight sad look on his face, but brushed it off.

Chase: "It gov bredda. Mek we just walk gwaan before we mek ih goon dem mad"

They roared in laughter before they started to walk again.

+30 Mins Later+

"Y pree mandem, how come yuh reach so late?" commented Xahier

Xahier was nonplussed at the fact that Dante and Chase had arrived together, he knew they were close, it didn't really affect him, but, deep deep down, he had this gut wrenching feeling that something was going on between them that he would not like.

Xahier and Dante were friends ever since childhood. They watched each other grow without really acknowledging it, and Xahier felt like they always had a very strong bond... until today.

Xahier had always thought that Dante was happiest hanging out with him, but, something about seeing his pearly whites flash in face while laughing with chase just broke that feeling.
