"We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward. In times of tragedy, of war, of necessity, people do amazing things. The human capacity for survival and renewal is awesome."

Jade.
Thank to those who gave me suggestions for Jade's character. ☺ And before one of you says "why can't she be darksin" (trust me people have came for my meck before.) There's an actual "reason" she's lightskin, not like there actually has to be one.
You can always imagine someone else as Jade but this young lady looks a lot like some other characters, I'm not trying to spoil it but trust me.
(Sorry for any mistakes.) -----------------------
Jade
"Thank you for coming out!" Ben, The Giants' coach, yelled to the camera crew as they left the building. "Good work guys they got some good footage of you all today. Eli and David, good job on the one on one the interviews as well. Now that that's over let's talk about this up coming game. I want you on the field maybe on thursday depending on the rain that's supposed to be coming in. But I definitely want you guys out there on Friday and Saturday morning bright and early since Eli and I will be working on plays tomorrow. We're going against the Packers this Sunday, they've been working hard this season and so have we. I'll let you all know if we're practicing Thursday. Any questions?" Nobody raised said anything. "Alright, you guys can go ahead and get outta here."
I stood up from the floor and dusted my butt off. I know this isn't real grass but this fake grass is just as dirty. "You like what you see?" I asked Beckham as I could feel his eyes on me. I looked over my shoulder at him and he looked away from me.
"C'mon Jade being yo ass so I can drop you off." David said walking up on me. "I can get a ride, I don't need you driving me anywhere."
I dropped my car off this morning at a auto shop to get a few minor things fixed up; that'll require me not to have my car for a couple of days. I asked David to pick me up from the shop to take me to work this morning since he lives near the place. I should've just took a uber and stopped being cheap and spent the $15 to $20 that takes to get to work; because I know for a fact David will find a way to throw it in my face like he always does after he "helps me out."
"I can take you." I heard Odell say. I looked at him and he had already grabbed his bag, ready to go. "You helped me out so it's fair I do the same for you." He pulled out his keys and started to walk off. "I'm in the black Maserati."
"You better not get in the car with that nigga." David said looking all angry like somebody care about how he feel. I rolled my head as I walked out his face, grabbed my bag, and left out the building to the paking lot. He needs to realize he don't run shit or me. He got drafted from the Jets to the Giants a couple years ago and started acting like a whole new person, he was never liked this before. Besides that, I worked to hard to keep a positive mindset to let a fake ass, grown ass, immature ass, kid like David affect me.
I continued through the parking lot til I saw the Black Maserati Beckham was talking about. His car looks like a 2004 toyota sienna in comparison to the other cars out here. Odell was seated on the hood typing away on his phone. "Took you long enough." He said still keeping his eyes on the screen. I stood there long enough to watch David and his group of followers hop in his escalade. He looked at me from his driver side window and shook his head before pulling off.
