Jay & Cleo

Chapter 1

"BOOM, THE BOMB SQUAD IS IN THE HOOOOOUSE!!!!!!!"

"Must you be so loud Kobe? We have been in the school five minutes and everyone knows we're here already." I say laughing while we walk up to the drama room.

"Aye, I'll catch you later at the gym right?"

" Yea, 5 o'clock sharp boy, and be ready to hold my bag, I need to practice for the Golden Gloves."

"I'll make sure to prepare myself. Catch you later man."

"See you later Jay."

As Kobe runs off to meet his girlfriend I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to not see anyone, that is until I heard a familiar voice.

"Down here, Jay!"

I look down and see Jeanette, Riverside's favorite cholo.

"Hey, Jeanette. How was your summer?"

"Pretty cool I suppose, I'm really just waiting on Daphne and Cleo."

"Speaking of Cleo, here she comes."

"Hey, guys. How's it going?"

"Great how's your morn-"

I stopped, right in the middle of my sentence I just stopped. I saw her. She was breathtaking, took the words right out of my mouth, I was left speechless.

"Hey, do you guys know where drama room is?"

"Yea, this is the drama room, come on let introduce you to our teacher," I say smiling.

"Follow me," I say walking into the room. I go to Mrs. Simmons first because she is well the teacher and needs to know of the new student that is infiltrating Riverside.

"Mrs.Simmons this is... What's your name?" I whisper to her.

"Moncé́ Latimore," She says while laughing under a breath.

"Mrs.Simmons this is Moncé́ Latimore, she's new."

"Well hi Moncé́, I'm Mrs.Simmons, you should take a seat class is almost starting."

"You can sit next to me, that's if you want."

"Sure, that would be nice." She says smiling.

We go and take our seats, I make sure to pull her chair out so I could seem like a gentleman. Class begins and I can't help but look at Cleo. What happened last night just can't seem to slip my mind. Knowing that I can't be with her kills me, but maybe it's for the best. Moncé́ taps me on the shoulder.

"Hey you ok, seems like something's on your mind."

"No, I'm fine. Hey, would you like to come to a party tonight, my friend Kobe is throwing one and they are always legendary."

"Sure, pick me up at 8?

"Yea, I'll see you then." What I need is a good night out with friends and I'll be back to myself. This party is what I need to finally get over Cleo.
