He never thought that he would have a taste of his dream, let alone live it.
She never thought that she would find comfort, passion and most importantly.. love - in a gang member.
And that all while a gang murderer is on the loose. Will the...

It was finally weekend AKA time for me to let loose. "Hey Betty. What's up?" I greeted her as I took a seat next to her. She jumped up. "Wow, why are you so jumpy today?" She sighed. "It's nothing." She tried to give me a comforting smile but I saw that she was.. scared. "Betty, are you really okay? You can trust me.." It looked as if she want in debate with herself — like she was thinking her choices thoroughly through. "Yes, I'm really fine." My phone beeped. I looked at the teacher to see if he was watching me. I quickly pulled my phone out.
A sigh escaped from my parted lips followed by an eye roll. "Are you okay?" Betty asked with a light chuckle. I smiled and nodded. The lessons flew by and before I knew it, the afternoon came and went. Twilight set in. Dozens of clothes were lying on the ground. I searched in the pile for a decent dress. I grabbed a red one and put it on. "No." I slipped a purple one on. "Hell no." I searched further and saw a black one decorated with sequins. "Perfect." I topped it off with black studded boots. I tousled my hair around, running my fingers through my dark brown strands.

I pressed the botton and watched as the display went from 3 to 0. The doors of the lift separated with a dinging sound. I stepped inside the cubical and made my way to the fifth floor. I tapped my knuckles against the wooden door. The door swung open — revealing Veronica and Nick. "Hey J!" Veronica greeted excitedly. I frowned at the sight. She never, ever greeted me this excited. "Who is this beautiful, mesmerizing friend of yours Veronica?" Nick asked while he undressed me with his eyes. "Jimmy." "Just Jimmy?" He asked with a dirty grin on his face. "Just Jimmy."
He held out his hand for me to shake. I looked at it and walked right past him. If I don't get good vibes with you the minute I meet you, do not touch me. "Hey Betts." I greeted as I took a seat next to her. I sensed that she was tense and annoyed. "You okay?" "I'm fine." My eyes then fell on Nick who boasted with the Jingle Jangle in his inner pocket. "Tasters? Who wants to have some fun?" Horror was written all over Kevin and Betty's faces. Including mine. "I'm good." Veronica said while glancing at Archie. "Come on V, like back in the day. Aren't you supposed to be showing me a good time per daddy's orders?" Archie stepped in. "She said she's good."
"Don't take the this the wrong way man.. but you're an epic buzzkill." "Down, Nicky. I'm just getting going. And now that you mention it.. I in fact wouldn't mind some sugar to spice up this party." She said as she took a striped straw containing the drug from him. We all looked at her in disapproval. "What? Every night it's burgers and milkshakes. Can't we just cut loose and pretend we're normal for once?" "I'm in." Cheryl stated. "Me too." Reggie agreed. And before I could blink, almost all the kids were pouring the powdery consumption onto their tongues. Veronica and Archie were dry-humping each other, Valerie was dancing like a lunatic on the table and Reggie was messing around with Josie. In brief words, a disaster.
