Journey (picture of her above)
Sup y'all , my name is Journey Calloway. I'm 18 years old and thick. I got the mean fro and I hope to take up modeling one day. I go to an all girls school located up the block from my hood. That shit ratchet ass hell but I tend to manage. Journey, shit I need my weed , where this nigga at? He has a life to Que, he can't tend to you all his life. Yeah tell that lover boy to hurry his ass up he laughed. I couldn't get devante out my mind. The way he traced circles around my body , the way he didn't leave after the night we had sex, and especially the way that boy worked his tongue, sent me into all types of Modes but then he just got up and left. Never spoke. This happened all but 2 weeks ago. I didn't know much about Devante but he came to me one night at 2 in the morning, crying to me about his life. How he missed his mom and dad, brother , problems with his girl and I listened. My bro actually introduced us, it was so funny. I was just coming back from basketball practice and he was all mesmerized by my body lol anyway I knew what he needed and I wanted to be there for him. If his girl couldn't please her man , I sure can. I must have some significance to him if he came here instead of going to her, he'll come around. They always do.
Christe
My mom was calling me off the hook. I had to lie and say I stayed at Laylah's house. The man of my dreams just took my virginty. I couldn't wait to tell Laylah. Vonte ? Yeah girl he said driving. Do you love me like you say you do ? He grabbed my hand and kissed my nuckles, of course I do, you're my baby. I stayed around this long right ? I looked at him with compassion and turned back around to the window. Tears filled up in my eyes. Christe look at me, he pulled over , I'm not going anywhere you hear me ? I looked at him as I felt hot tears roam down my cheek. Is it this normal to feel this emotional after you loose your virginty ? Something deeper was bothering me. Besides the minor cramping in my uterus something was telling me prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Chantelle
Omg Tay he said what ? Yeah girl we out Friday , she said driving. Omg Tay don't run this one away! You finally found someone that's putting in effort just like your ass always complained. And what about you lady ? She said smirking. Trying to act all high and almighty with Andrew. I rolled my eyes , girl that boy up to no good, if he's going to play me I at least want to detect it early. AND SO DO I !! She screamed pulling into the school parking lot. Says the person who's never had a boyfriend !! I barked back. Me and my girl Tay always play around like this. But on a serious note Tay can you please like go Friday. She looked at me, ugg fine. Yass bitch you bout to get the d I joked. Have you talken to Corbin lately ? Tay said as she was opening her locker. I looked away, not since he left. I did miss him. Corbin was my first and my last. He treated me with respect and was the best thing I could ever ask for. I shook off these thoughts as Andrew came towards me and Tay.
Darren
Yo bro you should have seen shawtys body. Andrew rolled his eyes. Focus Darren , lord watch when you hit it , next you gone be talking about shawtys pussy so bomb he said mocking my tone. I laughed , bro I'm focused I'm just saying , what girl you know got tattoes, run track, smart, firm ass, bruh. I said puttin my hands up , shawty is like wifey material. You sure that's all that girls hair Andrew said sarcastically. I hit him, man shut up and grab the keys. (Ring,Ring)
Hello?
Dad: well hello son, how is everything, how's Andrew ?
We all straight dad I said in a hostile tone
Dad: good I've sorry I havnt called I've been so busy working with Jay z and jcole on his album.
Look dad, I gotta go
Dad: alright son , good luck on those football try-outs today, I'll send you money tonight.
I hung up, my dad never took the time to ask me what I like , we barely ever spoke. He didn't even know that I been stopped playing football. Smh the man is delusional. Man you gone drive or what Andrew said snapping me back into reality. I started the keys up, focus Darren.
Laylah
I was so happy for Christe as she was telling me about her wonderful night shared with Devante. I'm so jealous of there realtionship, they've been together for 3 years now. Everyone called them the power couple but within every power couple there gotta be some problems. I never trusted that sneaky ass devante and I didn't think of him any different because of what he has. He is normal just like the rest of us. I sound like a cold hearted bitch but shit idc. I was more focused on getting to the bottom of Darren's sudden interest in Taylor's ass. I mean what did she have that I didn't. I'm going to get to the bottom of this and when I do find out , Darren is going to be putty in my hands.
Devante
I dropped Christe off at home. Now I gotta go do my runs before school. I'm feeling a little weak lately but nothing I couldn't manage. I had try-outs today and honestly that's all I'm focused on. (Knock,knock) Who is it ? A girls voice said. Yoo it's me Vonte, let me in girl it's cold out here. There stood journey, my god she looked amazing , her hair was picked out , she had this tight black crop top on that propped her breast up with some high wasted pants. I need to stop this but shit you can't stop a nigga from thinking right ? Nice of you to stop by she said with an attitude. Yeah your bro needed that right ? Yeah but he stepped out , you can come in if you like. I thought about , sure why not. How you been ? I said. I mean I'm chillen , you don't text me back or nothing , what do you think this is ? , I put my head down , there's one thing about Journey & she knows how to turn a nigga around. She came and sat on my lap, grabbed my neck and kissed it softly. If you want me to stop , say it, she whispered. Journey..... she kissed my neck again , my words became scattered , journey I can't....then shawty just wipped it out , I mean what was I supposed to do ?
Taylor
Beautiful ladies , Andrew said putting his arm around me and Chantelle as Darren put his head down. Sup Andrew I said. Chantelle just rolled her eyes, yoo your girl tripping on me Tay, did she tell you about her imaginary whip he said laughing. Chantelle hit Andrew in the back of the head while laughing. Nahh she left that part out I said chuckling. Well ya coming through Friday right ? Of course Chantelle said. I kept looking at Darren who appeared to be not himself. He looked a little down and it was lowkey bothering me. Darren you good ? I said with a worried look. I'm straight he said walking through us. I looked at Andrew , man he just nervous for try-outs that's all he said putting his arm around Chantelle. Chantelle carefully removed it , I'll catch you later Tay. Andrew stood for a minute, looked at me and said smiling , she wants me before running after Chantelle. That boy is crazy , but my real concern is Darren. I hate to see people upset and if I could help it, I will. I went on a hunt for him , he wasn't in first period nor was he in the gym. Mm I thought. I decided to head upstairs to the 3rd floor wing , there was this back staircase that lead to the roof and even tho we weren't supposed to go up there a great deal of us went up here anyway. There Darren was looking out into the city. You know if you are going to come up here , you could've at least brought a jacket. He didn't move however. I walked to him placing my hand on his back, what's up with you Darren? He didn't say anything. Alright then , if you think I'm going anywhere I'm deff not. Look he said turning to me, this is something I don't want to talk about. Well it's bothering you so it's bothering me I said. He looked at me for a moment then he finally spoke. It feels like I'm here but I'm not really here. My dad and mom never took the time to get to know me. Our maid practically raised me. She knew more about me then they did. I just want to find myself. I feel like I don't even know who I am. I love my dad and my mom so much , but damn they never came to one game nor do they call. My dad called this morning talking about Goodluck on football. Nigga I stopped playing football when I was in 7th grade. I could see he was getting angry with every word he spoke, Darren , you have to talk to them , you won't find yourself until you clear your burdens up with them. He turned to me and I could see the tears in his eyes. Who would've known Mr.Darren Lenvior had all these emotions inside of him. He fell into my tiny frame and just let it all out. We stood hugging on the roof of our school for what appeared to be hours.
