*UNEDITED* The saying "All is fair in love and war" is true when your talking about love but what about friendship. Rasheeda, Tisha and Kataleenah are best friends but are from two different sides of Crenshaw, their hometown. Rasheeda and Tisha are sisters, they're from the west side, that's where all the black people live and they represent the Westside BloodGang. Kataleenah is from the east coast, that's where all the Latinas live and they represent the EastCoast CrippGang. When MB is forced to moved into town by there manager they get caught up in different gangs and make mistakes causing both gangs to go at war. Forced to stick up for their neighborhoods the girls have to choose whats more important, they're friendship or they're reputation.

*UNEDITED* Hi I’m Kealynn Amari Harris. I’m rich I got everything I want and great family, you would think I got the perfect life. But no, my life is a living hell. I’ve been bullied by 4 boys for the past 2 years and a half. They push me around, beat me up, make fun of me and treat me like a little bitch. They’ve turned the whole school against me so I have no friends. It’s just me against the world. I’ve tried to kill myself many times which is why I go to therapy twice a week. I just want this to end and to be a normal teenager but I guess that will never happen…

My parents are those boogie, stuck up black people who think they the shit. They've always brained washed me from young and told me not to go for the hood rats and thugs- to always find a good rich man to take care of me. Growing up in a rich neighborhood and private schools, money and success is all I know. In all my seventeen years of living I never thought I would go against my parents words and fall for a Thug.

All my life I've heard nothing but bad about trappin'. Trappin' sent my daddy and granddaddy to jail. Trappin' killed my great great grandmother and my uncles. But my grandmomma always told me that without trappin' we wouldn't be where we are today; famous and successful. I guess one good thing did come out of the game. My family always told me about their experiences being in the game. Some of the stuff they've lived through I couldn't imagine surviving. I didn't want any part of that life. I would be the one to break family tradition. That was my mindset until I met Shakeim. He wasn't deep in the game but he was deep enough to get respect from many people around the city. He would sell drugs on the street corners and he had a reputation with many girls in L.A. He hung out with the drug dealers at school who were all apart of their neighborhood gang. He was one of the most feared people in Los Angeles because of who he associated with. He thought of me as a spoiled rich girl who he could potentially get a piece of ass from. I thought of him as a basic nigga who do about anything to make money. But despite all that we caught feelings for each other and that's when I started rethinking my idea about breaking family tradition.

Her long, curly brown hair, her fair flawless complexion, her perfect body shape, her swag. I fell for it all. "Who's the hot girl" my Chresanto whispered to me and that's when he made the announcement "this is my daughter Léannah" Ray and his step dad lived together for 14 years. Ray is never the one to stay in a relationship. But when his step dad's long lost daughter magically appears in the picture he starts to catch feelings. Knowing that it could never work he tries to be her brother instead of her lover. But that's not possible cause Ray is finally falling in love. **UNEDITED**

I'm not perfect. I'm a pretty fucked up person with a pretty fucked up life if you asked me. I had a messed up childhood that lead me to my fucked up life but I'm not complaining. I love the life that I live. I never regret anything because everything I went through was for my baby girl. You wanna know about my love life? I don't have one. Niggas ain't shit. I don't fucks with them on that level. Maybe an occasional one night stand but that's it. But there's one important information I forgot to tell y'all; I'm the most notorious female gang leader in the city.

Jason and Diamond's story is over (sort of) and it's time for the next generation to go on this journey called Life. IMPORTANT: You NEED to follow to read chapter 21 (Link to chapter is in my bio on my profile.)

Foul Play- unfair play in a game. The plan was to find a rich man with money, have his baby and make him pay child support for eighteen years. Simple right? Wrong. This was all a game to my sister and I. But now I was losing because I've fallen in love with my opponent. **Updates will be temporarily random and inconsistent.
