Chanel and DeVonte have been best friends since fourth grade but when they enter high school, unexpected feelings and other people threaten their tight bond relationship. Can Chanel and DeVonte keep their long time friendship the same or will it all...
~DeVonte's POV~ I feel a hand on my chest as I try to get up. NEL. Wait, wtf happened here last night. JAYLA. I get out of bed and wash up. After I'm done I head downstairs and call Jayla.
She doesn't pick up so I shoot her a text. "You're up early for what you've been doing last night," my mom's voice startles me.
"Ma, it's 9 sum that's not---," I start but she puts her hand up to stop me.
"Wanna drink? How 'bout next time be smart and try to hide the damn bottle at least," she exclaims, holding up the Hennessy bottle.
"I'm sorry Ma," I say and she tells me to never drink in her house again until I'm of legal age. Apparently, she doesn't say anything about Nel but I guess she's used to us having sleepovers.
"And then you and Nel Nel all cuddled up. DeVonte don't you got a girlfriend?," she says. I spoke too soon.
"She needed a bestfriend because she just broke up with her boyfriend. She needed a shoulder to cry on and I was there," I tweak what happened just a little bit. But I somewhat remember dancing with her. NOPE; she was definitely dancing on me. A n**** had a good night.
"Just be careful De," my mom says and sighs. "Um good morning," I hear Nel's beautiful voice say, from the stairs.
"Chanel please learn how to answer your phone because yo momma kept blowing up mines. Get in the car so I can take you home please," my mom firmly says. Who pissed in her cereal?
"Yes ma'am," Nel says and goes back upstairs to grab her purse. She mouths, "I'll text you," and I nod. They leave and I'm left here alone; once again.
~Chanel's POV~ "Momma? I'm home," I say as I get through the door but she doesn't respond. "Ouuu b**** your breath is kicking," I say to myself and go to the bathroom to wash up. I shower and brush my teeth.
The morning with Aunt Kim was very quiet because I guess she was still upset. Last night was hella crazy. I remember De and I having some shots and I was also twerking on him.
Yes, we did kiss a few times and then ended up cuddling and falling asleep; nothing else. I've honestly missed my best friend but I don't know; I think I lowkey want him now. My mom busts in my bathroom and sternly says, "When yo a** get out the shower, come see me in my room," and I reply with okay.
"Ouuuu I ought to strangle this girl. Lord have mercy on my soul," I hear her saying as she walks away. Yep, she's pissed. I get out of the shower and throw something casual on.

"Come in," my mom says as I knock on her door. "So we wanna drink now? Huh Chanel?," she gets straight to the point.
"What happened? Cat got your tongue?," she continues getting more frustrated.
"I'm sorry Ma," I apologize. "And on top of that you want to get a write up for cussing out loud in class."
S***. I totally forgot about that. "Ma, I'm sorry it's just I did what you told me and I broke up with Elijah and I had got mad so," I say.
"You know what I can't even be bothered with you, get out," she says and points to her door.
"Ma---,"
"Didn't I say get out?," she ends our conversation there and I head to my room. This is some s***. I've never been this ready to go back to school; this weekend needs to hurry up and be over.
*MONDAY*
~DeVonte's POV~ Nel and I been texting all weekend just to get our relationship back on good terms. I'm honestly surprised that Aunty Chelle ain't take her phone. Jayla hasn't answered me all weekend so hopefully I get to talk to her today.
My mom is still a little bit upset from the other night but she'll get over it. After about an hour, I leave the house. I told Chris I'd give him a ride because I wanna tell him about Chanel.
"Soooooo," he says as soon as he gets in my car.
"Well wassup to you to n****," I say and he smacks his lips.
"Okay I guess you don't wanna know about Nel."
"It's fine n****, she already told me," he says and I say, "TF did she tell you?"
He laughs, "She was like y'all kissed and she was twerking on you and y'all fell asleep together. MY MAN," he trys to dap me up but I just smile and shake my head.
"See, I knew your mind and heart were still with Chanel's," he says as we pull up to Jasmine's house. Yes, I have to take her to school too because she normally rides with Chris so since he rode with me, she's also riding with us.
"Hey bae," she says to Chris as she gets in the back seat.
"Good morning my fine beautiful baby," he says and I roll my eyes; he's so soft when it comes to her.
"Oh hey to you too," she says to me with a tone in her voice. Anger? Disgust? Ehh who knows; I could really care less.
"Does she know," Chris mouthes to me and I shrug my shoulders.
"What's the private conversation for?," Jasmine asks. "Cheater," she coughs out.
"I'm sorry? Do you wanna say something?," I ask and she replies with, "not at all."
Nosey a**, I swear. When we walk into first period, I see Nel. God damn, she's so beautiful. "Hey bestie," she jokes and hugs me. "Gon be more than that sooner or later," I mumble as I hug her back.
"I'm sorry. I didn't get that," she says and I know she's playing with me. "Whatever," I say and the teacher walks in. As we take our seats, Jasmine eyes us. The hell is her problem? ...................
At lunch, I tried to talk to Jayla but she ignored me and walked away with Jasmine. I feel like Jasmine brain washing her or some s***. When we get to 4th period, everybody's already at our table. "Hey bae," I say to Jayla as I take my seat but she doesn't answer. OKAY???
"Hey," I say to Nel and I ignore Elijah. You could see the tension between Elijah and Nel but they both refuse to speak to each other.
"Okay class, we're doing a mini group activity today with our tables so I need every group to come up with a name for the table. Please and thank you. You have 2 minutes," the teacher says and Jayla rolls her eyes.
"I have the perfect name for this group," Jayla says.
"What?," Elijah questions.
"Baby, why won't you---," I begin to say but Jayla interrupts,
"The SINGLES CREW," she finishes adding hand motions to make it exaggerated. "Right Elijah?," she questions and he says, "I guess, I don't really care." Nel rolls her eyes and mumbles something under her breath.
"But bae we're not single," I say to Jayla, confused.
"We are now," she says and at that the teacher rings the bell to get our attention.
