*Ashanti*

Ashanti woke up the next morning tangled in legs and arms,she and her friends were all wrapped around one another. She giggled and untangled herself and went into the bathroom. She stared in the mirror at her puffy red eyes... She'd been crying all night, even in her sleep.

She sighed and stripped down and hopped into the shower. She sat down and let the steaming hot water pound down on her, it burned but in a way it made her feel good, it felt as if it numbed her. Her feelings were completely hurt, Chresanto was the FIRST and only guy she'd ever given her heart to, she loved him with all of her and he threw it all away.

She finally stood to take her shower then got out. She continued her morning routine and walked out in her towel.

"We got your clothes out for you" Gabby said.

They were all completely dressed and ready. She wondered when they'd taken showers.

"We woke up a little after you and took showers in the other bathrooms." Jess said, reading Ashanti's mind.

Ashanti sighed. "Guys, I don't wanna look cute today... I just wanna wear sweats and a hoodie and call it a day." She whined.

"I don't care what you want. You're gonna wear it." Ashley said firmly.

Ashanti knew not to argue with Ashley, she was like the big sister of all of them and she knew once Ashley finalized something that's, that. No matter what.

"Fine." Ashanti sighed.

She grabbed the clothes and got ready for a long day of school...

The girls stopped off for breakfast then pulled up at school and headed to the cafeteria to eat their food.

The girls sat down. "I don't know why all these bitches be staring when we come in." Gabby said, annoyed.

"Shit, I don't know about y'all but I love the attention" Jess said, waving at a pretty girl.

"You better stop, you know how protective my brother is." Ashanti said with a little chuckle.

"Girl please, if only you knew how freaky your brother is, he encourages me to find a female I like..." Jess said with a smirk.

"Uh, ewww! TMI Jessica Perez!" Ashanti said.

"You'd be okay with Ray kissing another female in front of you." Gabby asked amazed.

"Oh hell no, that's for me and for him to watch. He WILL NOT be touching her, only me." Jess smiled.

"Does he know that?" Ashley asked, obviously humored.

"Damn right he knows that, he ain't stupid now. Trust me, Ray doesn't wanna see my ghetto side." Jess flipped her hair.

"You sure he hasn't seen it already?" Ashanti asked, raising an eyebrow.

They all laughed, excluding Jess.

She glared at Ashanti. "No."

They all burst into laughter, not noticing the boys approaching them.

"Wassup ladies?" Jake smiled.

Ashanti looked up from her biscuit, noticing Chresanto staring down at her. "Uh, umm, I'll see y'all later." She stood, gathering her stuff and quickly walking off.

"Ashanti, please wait." She heard Chresanto call.

"Look Chresanto, I'm not trying to hear any of your lies, okay? I've been through enough already, it's okay if you want her. Okay? I get it, you obviously didn't love me as much as you said you did... it's okay, Chres... I never should've fallen so hard, it's my fault." She said, her eyes were watering and She needed to get away from him before she started crying.
