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...
~Chanel's POV~ A LOT has happened in these past 5 months. Yes, school is going to be over next week and I'm so excited for that. When we got back to school from semester break, Jasmine came up to me and did her usual hug thingy and the boys found out that we were messing with them the night of the dinner. It was hilarious.
Amiya and Jayla became friends; bonding over how they both don't like me but I could really give two f**** less. I got into a fight with Amiya about two months ago and got suspended for a few days but it was worth it. I really didn't get in trouble because my mom said her a** deserved it.
De's and I relationship been going good and strong for these past couple of months. We make 5 months next week. My mom walks into my room and pulls me out of thought, "what you thinking about?"
"Just these past months at school and this whole school year in general," I tell her and she smiles.
"Yeah ... 11th grade was not the best for me either child. I got into like 4 fights that year and one of them was with the girl who my boyfriend cheated on me with. Yes I did whoop her a**," my mom says and I laugh.
I can't really say that 11th grade was a bad year or a good year it was in the middle.
"Alrighty I really came in here to tell you let's go get our hair braided. This traffic is crazy on the weekend. You know we gotta look cute for Lia's graduation," she says and I shake my head. Always has to be the Belle of the ball but that's my mom for you.
"Alright, I'm coming," I say. "Here Nel, take a before picture of me," my mom says getting out of the car when we get to the salon.
"Why do you need a before picture Ma?," I ask her already knowing the answer.
"Because I need a before and an after Nel duhh," she says and poses by the car door. My mom always think she cute, I swear.

"Maaaaa, please don't crease the forces, what you doing?," I stress.
"Girl if you don't shut," she says but before she can finish her sentence I say, "Yes ma'am," and laugh. She hates when I call her that she says it makes her feel old. We head into the salon and get our hair started.
*THURSDAY* ~Chanel's POV~ I wake up. "Finally, the last Thursday of 11th grade," I think to myself. "Alright let's get today over with," I say, getting out of bed. I wash up and get dressed after.
I grab all my stuff and head downstairs. "Don't forget I'm getting you at 1," Alia says to me as she puts her shoes on by the front door. "Okay sis. Gotta go," I say to her and walk out of the door.
Oh yeah, my relationship definitely got tighter with Alia. "Hey baby," I say as I get into De's car.
"Good morning beautiful," he says and kisses me. "Ready for our last Thursday of 11th grade?," he asks as he drives and I nod. When we get to school, Jasmine and Chris are already in the schoolyard. I hug her and then I hug Chris. YES, we got the OG squad back. The bell rings and we all walk to class. ..........
*1:04 pm* ~Chanel's POV~ "May we please have Chanel Walker for checkout?," the lady says through the class intercom. I get my stuff and leave. Alia wanted me to go with her to get her hair done and then we're meeting my mom at the nail salon after.
"Hey sis," she says as I get in her car. "Hey." We head over to the hair salon and her hair takes about 2 1/2 maybe 3 hours. "Yes ma, she's finally done," I tell my mom and hang up the phone. Alia pays the lady and we leave.
"Girl that hairstyle looks cute on you. Why don't you get it more often?," I ask her.
"Thanks. I don't know this is just something new I wanted to try for graduation," she says and shrugs. "Ma been at the nail salon for about 20 minutes now so let's head over there," I tell her.
We get to the nail salon and see my mom in the pedicure chair. "Well looks like she already started," Alia says and we laugh.
We spend about 2 hours in the nail salon and then head to the mall. "I just want to pick up a fit for tomorrow," my mom says. "OK," Alia and I say in unison. I text De while we're on our way to the mall.
I've been texting him ever since I left school. God, I'm so happy that I have somebody like him by my side and in my life. "Girl I said we're here like 3 times. Come on," my mom snaps her fingers and gets out of the car. About an hour and a half at the mall, we're finally done.
My mom and I both get a dress. Alia said she would find something simple but cute in her closet because she has to wear a gown over it anyways.
"Well today children we witnessed pampering at it's finest," my mom tries to pull off an accent and Alia and I bust out laughing. This family has issues.
"Pampering indeed," I think to myself as we continue to laugh.
