Miami Heat

Chapter One: Ten Years Later

|Ebony POV|

I woke up to a knock on my door. I rubbed my eyes. "Come in", I said. The door opened. It was my brother, Zakee. "Dad's making breakfast downstairs...if you wanna eat", he said. I nodded and stretched. "I'll be right there."

Zakee left and went downstairs. I really didn't feel like going to school today. I got up from my bed, and went to take a shower. After that, I washed my face. I rinsed it and looked in the mirror. I looked just like my mom. I wiped a tear away, and went to get dressed.

I put my white blouse, my black jeans, and my Oreo 5's on. I ran downstairs to finally eat breakfast. My dad was sitting at the table with Zakee. I walked up to my dad and gave him a hug, since he looked like he needed one. He hugged me back

"Hey, what took you so long?", he asked, taking a bite of his omelette.

"Shower", I answered. I sat beside Zakee. There was an awkward silence. I cleared my throat. Zakee broke the silence.

"It's been ten years since mom died, everybody."

I rolled my eyes. I don't know why he had to say that. "Yes. Yes it is", my dad replied. He said it so softly, I could barely hear him. I couldn't take it anymore, so I texted my friend, Selenia, to come pick me up.

A few minutes after I sent that text, a gray Jaguar pulled up.

"That's my cue, y'all."

Zakee jumped up. "Aye now, I wanna go too!" I rolled my eyes. "C'mon then!" I gave my dad one last hug before leaving.

"Be good!", he yelled after us.

|Selenia POV|

I was waiting for about 3 minutes in my car for Ebony, like what the hell's taking her so damn long? I don't know bout y'all, but I need my goddamn education!

I heard someone practically banging on my car window. What the fuck, this is a Jaguar! I turned around to see who it was, but it was just Bonnie. I unlocked the doors. "Why y'all took so long?", I snapped,"and why is Zakee here?" Zakee smirked.

"What, now I can't ride with y'all?"

I rolled my eyes ."Just get in, dammit."

Bonnie sat in the passenger seat, and Zakee sat at the back. I flipped my long auburn hair, and turned the radio.

"Drive, bitch!" Zakee said, smirking. He knew he was getting on my last nerves.

I finally started driving.

|Ebony POV|

We were jamming to Money Baby by K Camp when Selenia pulled up to Zakee's school, Pine Heights High.

"See y'all later," Zakee said, grabbing his stuff.

"As if anybody would miss him," Selenia said under her breath. Suddenly, Lifestyle by Young Thug came on.

"Oh yassssss! Turn that shit up!" I started jigging.

"Did a lot of shit just to live this here lifestyleee!" Selenia sang, driving off.

《SCHOOL》

"Ugh. I heard junior year is hard, man." Selania groaned. I giggled. "At least we made it this far." I replied. She shrugged.

"My parents are throwing me a big ass party this year, though!"Selenia exclaimed.

I smiled and shook my head. Selenia's parents always threw parties for her.

"Just know that Dominicans do it better, mamacita!" Selenia added.

We walked to our first class of the day: Chemistry.

I went in first, since Selenia was twerking a few inches away. I walked in, interrupting the teacher.

"You're late." he grunted. Selenia finally walked in, and sat beside me. The teacher looked annoyed. "What are your names?" he demanded. Everyone was staring at us.

"Im-"

"Hello sir, I'm Selenia Joseline Ramirez!" The class laughed. "And I'm Ebony Jones."I added. Once the teacher went back to the front to talk about who knows what, I whispered to Selenia, "Why you said your whole damn name?"

Selenia shrugged. "Imma do me, and you do you, capiche?" I could hear her latina accent coming out. I rolled my eyes and giggled.

《AFTER SCHOOL》

|Selenia POV|

Since my class ended early, I decided to go to the vending machine to get a drink.

"Damnnnnn, lil ma!" some dude said from behind me. I turned around. I smiled.

"You want this?," I smacked my ass, which was making this perve look thirstier.

"Whoooo! Yasss lawdd!," he howled. My smile turned into a frown.

"Nigga, you actually thought you was gone get this ass? Ha! You funny, you real funny. Get the fuck away from me, you sick bastard!" He eventually left. I sighed.

"Niggas these damn days.."

|Ebony POV|

Where is Selenia? I thought to myself. I was waiting for her in the parking lot. It's been almost 15 minutes. I was looking around. I decided to go back inside the school, just to make sure Selenia wasn't wasting time. I turned around and I ran into this dude. All my books fell from my hands.

"Aw damn, I'm so sorry." he knelt down and picked up my stuff. Once he came back up, I nearly fainted. He was fine. Nah, scratched that. He was sexy as hell! He was lightskinned and had black curly hair. His eyes were a light brownish color.

"Sorry about your stuff." he repeated.

"It-it's okay." I smiled at him.

He smiled back.

"EBONY!" I rolled my eyes. Why was it now that Selenia had to come, huh?

"Um, I have to go," I told the dude.

"Alright. See you later..Ebony." He smiled at me. I couldn't help but beam.

"Ebony, I know your ass heard me!" Selenia was coming over to us. She looked out of breath.

"C'mon let's go." She grabbed me by the wrist.
