Ethan's Pov

Well here goes the story of my life but let's just start were she enters. (Three years earlier..)

This is my last chance to get it right. My PO officer says that I need to leave the gang I can't they will kill me I know to much and they have my... I see a girl walk passed me she is so beautiful I can't help myself so I follow. She goes to the Secretary.

"Hey Jasmine how are you?" Jasmine I like the sound of her name.

"Hi! Ms.Jane I was wondering if you would want to help me for the food drive at church." She's a church girl off limits. I am all for "innocence" but I can't mess with her head.

"Sorry I can't sweets but I can see if Marc can." Who is this Marc? Why am I slightly jealous. I suddenly inter-fer with no backup plan.

"I can help I mean if you still want it." She turns around and I suddenly fall into a deep state of lust she is so beautiful. With her thick full lips and rosie red cheeks, her tiny curvy figure. Oh! My God what beautiful full eyes she has. Her parents stole from the sea. She turns around and smiles.

"Um.. Hi! I'm Jasmine and you are?" She turns the corners of her lips into a questionable expression.

"The name is Ethan."

"Nice to meet you." She stretches her small arms to my neck and gives me a hug. I feel awkward almost instantly so I pull away and she tumbles back to her feet.

"It's all good dude I am just a little to freindly.." she looks away like there is something seriously wrong with her.

"Don't feel bad kid I am just the loner type that's all." I shrug.

"Anyway I still do need help with the food drive... let's exchange numbers and I will be in touch." After we exchanged numbers I was on my way to the dump of a house I live in. I know what everyone will say my house is huge and grand. I even have my own basketball court. The gang provides us with this we all live here. I have six brothers and sisters. My father is the leader of the Vippers a big drug chain. I know what you are thinking shot once how come? Well the gang is now recently on top and runs the streets. When I was a baby my mother left us with our dad he first was a businessman. One day he came home and sat me down at the table and said son we can't go on like this your not going to like the way I am going to do things from now on but we need food and money to survive I this world. Then he just got up and left. I did not see my dad for one month I thought that he left leaving me to fend for my siblings and I. During this month he had left sixty bucks. It was the five of us. Danny, Lily, Carmen, Lila, Elizabeth, and me. Lily and Lila are twins both were two at the time. Danny was one and Elizabeth three. Last and not least Carmen my twin we were seven at the time. Anyways let's get on with the story. Three days later I got a surprising text.

Hey it's Jasmine I was wondering if you wanted to go over the food drive on Saturday?

Hey um.. sure when do you want to meet up?

At the south shore mall will be ok for me.... Maybe in the food court?

Um... ya that will be nice just tell me a time and I will be there.

Ok today at two thirty .

I will see you then 👍

I need to get ready if i am going to make it to the mall on time. I live an hour away from that mall. Why did she want to meet so far? Is this a date? I need to stop pacing back and forth. It is twelve o'clock so I have two hours and a half to be at the mall.

*************

When I got to the mall the first thing I noticed was someone following me. I walked confidently to the food court. After all I am not scared of getting shot I have been three times this time I did not even offend anyone. I see jasmine the moment I got inside of the food court She was sitting there with a coffee and donut. She turned around and our eyes met. She moved the piece of her raven hair from the side of he face to the back of her ear. I walked at a fast-ish pace towards her never taking my eyes off of her. Just as I approached the table the same guy that was following me sat down.

"Hey guys!" she gets up and gives the guy a huge and waved at me.

"Hi Jazzy my mom said that you needed help with the food drive at church so here I am at your disposable." How cheesy so this must be Marc.

"Oh sorry Ethan this is Marc and Marc this is Ethan." There was a very disturbing silence when he shook my hand everything changed.

"Ok... so let's go on with the subject shall we?" Jasmine sat down and so did we. I wonder if he is her boyfriend.
