They were all juniors in high school. Their school's basketball team the Chicago Buffaloes had a game every Friday night. Natalie, Sierra, Markus, Devinne, and Nathanielle would always go to the schools games on those Fridays. But things changed when Natalie met a boy named Julius Santiago. Julius was opposite from Natalie in various ways. Julius was a Mexican who sold drugs, and had always gotten kicked out of school. He owed money to one of the biggest drug dealers in Chicago. His name was Antonio Esa's.  When Julius was in school one day he ran into Natalie. Julius dropped a notebook on his way to class one day. Natalie said " Hey Amigo! Yahh dropped something!" He said, " What?". Natalie handed it to him. They stood there like star crossed lovers staring into each other eyes. And then Julius said ," I'm Julius." Natalie said, " Hey I'm Umm, Natalie." Her teacher came out of the classroom and said ,"Umm, you're also late." Then Natalie walked into the classroom. When they got to lunch she told Sierra about Julius. " Hey, Sierra!", Natalie said. "Hey Sis. How come you look like you're glowing?, " Sierra asked. Natalie said " Well there's this guy..." Sierra got tuned out as soon as the rest of their friends came over. "Hey you guys!Peep this Natalie is in loveeee",said Sierra. "I am not. There is just a slight possibility that I'm crushing on someone.",said Natalie. " Who's the mystery man Nat?"  Natalie hesitated, " His name is Julius, he has the most gorgeous hair!". "I think i'm going to be sick.", said Markus. "Don't be such a hater Markus", said Devinne. The friends joked and laughed around , after the bell they all headed back to class after lunch. Natalie saw Julius in the hallway again the next day. Markus saw them together and the thought of his future wife talking to another girl made him sick Markus envied Julius. Julius and Natalie began hanging out more and more together. Sierra, Nathanielle, Devinne, and Markus began seeing less and less of their friend.
