dope dealer but his mom vowed that he would not sell drugs. She disowned him as he started at the bottom of his dad’s empire. He was a beast, smart, and a natural- born leader. He gave up sports, scholarships, and college acceptances letters for me.
But that’s when fate stepped in and led both of us astray.
I was on my way to the community center to get Joel, and that’s when I met Jovian. He was a cool guy. We start tripping daily because Miguel was spending all of his time hustling in the streets. By the time, he notice I wasn’t around, Jovian and I had become the best of friends. So while he worked the streets for me and my family, I kicked shit all day with Jovian. He never even noticed the change.
The week before my Majorette Jamboree at Northside High, he gave me the keys and deed to a house he bought in Cordova. Not bad for a sixteen year old, right. We lost our virginity that day in my room at the brand new four bedroom three bathroom house.
A week later, Miguel and Shay showed up to see me perform . That was the first time he saw Ki. She went to Treadwell with me and Jovian. Miguel went to Central. His eyes followed her from the time she entered the gym until the time the Jamboree was over. I knew then that I lost my man. He watched her performed , but she didn’t even look his way. When it was my teams’ turn, he walked out of the gym to follow her. I messed up our routine causing us to come in third place.
Of course, this bitch came in first place. I talked to Jovian as Miguel stood in front of the gym trying to talk to Ki. Shay and I stood there watching them dumbfounded.
Two weeks later, I transferred to Cordova High School and Miguel transferred to Treadwell High School. I know he went to that school to pursue Ki. Why else would he go? I was transferring. He tried out for the basketball and track team too. This was where Jovian shined . Miguel took his position as a point guard. Plus, all the girls that used to jock Jovian started to running after Miguel. We kept our friendship , but I didn’t know Ki and Miguel were friends until Jovian told me.
So, I asked Miguel for the keys to his Chevy. I pulled up to the gym where Miguel had practice and Ki was there too. He was in her face of course. She’s just looking at him like he is her homeboy, but he is looking at her like she is the last woman on earth. As I walk through the gym , all eyes are on me. I’m no slouch .As a matter of fact, I’m a bad muthafucka.
I’m 5’5 with flawless caramel skin. My father is Haitian and my mother is mixed with black and Korean. My hair flows pass my shoulders, down my back, and just above my butt. My body ain’t as banging as Ki , but over the years of squats gave me a lil booty.
Heads turned as I walked up to Miguel, but Jovian stopped me.
“Wassup, girl. Wat you doin back at the Well?” Jovian asked.
“Came to see Miguel. And what’s up with that bitch?” I asked with an attitude.
“Oh, Ki . She’s every nigga dream . And Miguel willing to give you up for her. We call her, “Unfuckable.” He even bet a nigga five dollas that I couldn’t fuck you.” He said with a lil smirk on his face.
“What? Why?” I asked embarrassed that Miguel would actually put me out there on the market like that.
“Cause he wants her and you’re in the way. She’s a firecracker . She’s independent and he’s tired of taking care of your ass. She works, braid hair, make clothes, babysit, tutor, and that’s just her side money. I mean what can you offer besides some ass and some bills. That ain’t a good look Ma. See watch how I’m finna walk up to him and seal the deal letting him know that I accept his challenge.”
Jovian walks off and says a few words to Ki and Miguel. He nods his head towards me. Miguel looks at me and they shake hands. Jovian walks back over to me.
“ See I told you so.”
Miguel just continued his conversation with Ki. Jovian just talked about all the freaky
