put on my freshest T-shirt , my timberlands and my gold chain. My hair wasn't a problem I had curls and locks that would drive someone crazy. My phone rang it was my best friend kionni , she knew I wasn't gonna answer that call this early in the morning , I picked up my purse house key and left out the front door, my momma didn't come home last night probably with her poor excuse of a boyfriend, mama got a bad taste in men but that ain't my say. I got in my car and pulled out the driveway

It took me about 30 minutes to get to school and when I got there the whole parking lot was filled with student drivers. I gather my things. and walked into school feeling myself as usual , kionni met me at the door

I called you this morning , she said

I looked at her confused , "I know" I said . she looked at me disgusted, "so that means you mist have a good reason for not picking up then" she stepped in front of me waiting for a response , I stopped. "Kionni you know me better than anybody I said pushing past her, "and you know I have a strict no 6 a.m calls policy".

She crossed her arms ams and followed behind me

" Andrea, what a friend you are"

I looked behind me she was always complaining about something, I was use to it though I'd known kionni for years so I learned to put up with her. "Kionni you know I got love for you girl" I said "you're a sister to me".

"I can't tell" she replied. She always has a smart  comment but I learned to just let it slide.

I put my things in my locker and took the things I needed and went to class, kionni followed down behind me like a little kid. I walked into civics class when my whole world stopped , when my attention was taken by this eye catching guy across the class room. He had brown chocolate skin, caramel eyes and pearly white teeth.. As far as i could tell,  because he had Gold on the bottom row, the perfect fade and earrings in both of his ears, I scurried across the class room and got to my seat kionni right behind me . she sat at the desk across from me .

" kionni who's that" I said looking  at him.

She turned around and quickly looked back at me

"Andrea you don't want none of him!, he's trouble girl" I saw him look over at me our eyes met but I looked back down.

"What could possibly be wrong with him"? I questioned her response.

She bent forward so that only we could hear each other.

"He's one of the biggest drug dealers in the Lakes,  he beats all his girlfriends ".

" Botanic lakes?  Our neighborhood?"i asked. She shook her head yes.
"Ive never once seen that boy in my life" . Not to mention as gorgeous as he was how could you miss him?!
