The Devil's Game (On Hold)

Boyfriend Material

Ray pulls up in front of Vatican High School, where Charde, Chantel, & their friends attended. He lets the girls out, them gives Chantel a kiss before she leaves.

Ray: What time to pick you up, baby?

Chantel: 3:00.

Ray: Aight. I'ma have a surprise for you afterschool.

Chantel: *gives him another kiss* Okay. See you later, Ray.

Ray: Bye, sexy. Talk to you later, Mystic.

Mystic: Bye!

He drives off right when Charde & Rainy walked up the steps to the school. The four girls went inside the school & heads to class. A while later at lunch, word got out that Chantel was dating Ray. People began pestering her with questions.

Girl: Are you really dating Westside gang leader Ray?

Chantel: Yes.

Girl 2: Lucky bitch! I know he be spending stacks on you!

Chantel: Not yet. *laughs*

Girl 3: Aren't you afraid that Baby Dee is gonna hurt you?

Chantel: He tried that shit last night. That's why that gang fight happened at Club Esquire.

Girl 2: YOU were the reason it happened?

Chantel: Ye-

Charde: Yes she was.

Charde came over & sat down at the table with their group of friends.

Charde: And why she's bragging about it, I ain't know why.

Chantel: I'm not bragging. I'm EXPLAINING, something you won't let me do.

Charde: I guess.

Rainy: *coming to the table* Hey, Chantel! Someone dropped this off for you.

She hands Chantel a bouquet of roses with a note attached to it. All the girls at the table awed in shock.

Chantel: *reads the note* "These roses are nothing special compared to the beauty you possess." Awww.....

Mystic: Who's it from?

Chantel: *smiling & blushing* Ray.

Charde: Figures.

Girl: Someone's feeling salty.

Charde: Must be you, cause I don't feel shit.

Chantel: Charde!

Charde: Yep?

Chantel: Stop acting like this!

Charde: *with attitude* Like what?

Chantel: Like THAT! You always run my boyfriends away! You judge them based on what YOU know, not that I know! That's why you can never keep a man.

Charde looks at her in shock. It was so hard to accept the fact that her little sister was right. She gets up from the table & storms out the cafeteria, not looking back.
