The Summer That Changed Our Lives

Prologue

January 1st, 2016
10 P.M.

LOGAN

The city is on fire tonight, it's New Years so of course any and everyone is out celebrating. I can't believe how many people have shown up to fill up our downtown city hall. I've never seen this many people before in my life, West Palm Beach is definitely popping tonight!

I looked to the right of me, and there stood my favorite person in the whole world,  Jaelyn Hernandez.

She was mixed with black and Cuban so she could always get ghetto and feisty. She was about 5'8, had curly black hair, with smooth chocolate skin, and she had all boobs with a lil booty... still pulled them babies though.

I don't know how she managed to drag me out of bed  tonight but all I know is she owes me. It's fucking Wednesday night and I'm missing Empire right now, ugh. But leave it up to these spoilers posting every 10 seconds on snapchat, I'd figure out what happened.

Times like this I wish P was here to help me get through this, I was dying from being around people for too long.

"Logan, look!" Jaelyn tapped me and pointed to the sky. There were different arrangements of fireworks and honestly, it was illuminating.

"Ugh, people are starting to crowd up around me Jaelyn." I complained. "When can we leave?"

She turned to look at me and threw her hands in the air. "You're such a spoiled crybaby. Gosh, does everything have to be about you Logan Carter, hmm?"

At that moment many fireworks lit up and formed a "L". I smirked and threw up a gang sign at the sky.

"I guess everything is about me!" I screamed.

Jaelyn rolled her eyes and we started walking back to my car. I should've been left her ass to be honest, but I'm a good friend and plus if she got kidnapped they would've just thrown her ass out the car as soon as they got her, she talks too damn much.

Right before we got to my car, I used the key to unlock my door only. It's New Years right? What's a new year without fun and games?

I got in and started the car, still leaving Jaelyn outside pulling on the handle.

"Lo, let me in damn you play too much!" I laughed at her protests, while turning the volume up as Lud Foe played on my aux.

"She say she like my swag I be cutting up, JAE CAN'T HANG WITH LO CAUSE SHE AIN'T CUT ENOUGH!"

I put the car in drive and stepped on the gas every time Jaelyn reached for the door handle. The shit was hilarious. I was a basketball player and she was my cheerleader best friend, so she had some stamina.

After making her scream and chase after the car for 5 minutes I finally let her long headed ass in.

"I'm hungry Logan." She stated once she got in. I nodded.

"Me too, Taco Bell sound good to you right now?" I asked, and she nodded in agreement. Soon we pulled up in the drive thru.

"Can I get two orders of nachos and a large starburst freeze please?" I said telling the dude my order. "What do you want Jae?" I asked turning to her, but she was still reading the menu.

As many times we come to Taco Bell this girl never knew what she wanted to order and there isn't much you can ask for bih.

"I'll take a... ummm no that makes me shitty. Just give me a... um, no." She said.

I waited 10 minutes for Jaelyn to decide what she did and didn't want, until finally she placed her order. I swear I hated this hoe... but I loved her even more.

We pulled up to the window and as soon as dude opened it to hand me the food, he started flirting with me. That shit is so unprofessional but I mean it's after hours at Taco Bell, what am I supposed to expect?

When I handed him our money, this nigga dropped a bill causing me to get out. I swear only perverts do that so they can see my ass.

I'm slim thick, but I have an athletic frame so my legs and arms are really toned. I tend to be insecure about my muscles but everyone else seems to love them, I guess they're only flaws to me.

When I got out of the car, he had the nerve to make a barking noise. Ugh.

I turned and glared him. Who's mans could this possibly be? He looked like a fucking hairless chihuahua.

"Here you go smick." I said, giving him the bill. "Keep the change." He took the $20 and smirked at me, looking at me up and down, taking in my features.

"Damn girl you look good as hell.. your friend do too. Aye me and my boy on the grill get off at 3, y'all should let us come through and chill." I looked at Jaelyn and we both died laughing. I was very boujie, and I refused to hook up with someone I just met through a drive thru. Plus, we're virgins so all that "come through" shit is dead.

All chilling meant these days were boys trying to feel and kiss on you until you gave it up. I was definitely not having it.

"Honestly.... truly..... we can't accept that offer." I said reaching over the window grabbing our food. I got back in the car and checked the food before I drove off, everything was straight.

"Okay cool whatever. Y'all playing hard to get but aye, what does 'smick' mean?" He asked me looking confused as hell. I let out a laugh before putting the car in drive.

"It means small dick, have a goodnight!" I yelled pulling out of the drive thru.

Whew... it has been a long night.
