"I ain't frontin because I don't like him" Jeena said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah okay" Shanelle teased.
"whatever" Jeena said flipping her hand in a whatever motion. Shanelle laughed and then said
"Come on yall they at the park" Shanelle said still giggling. They grabbed their stuff and headed to the park. When the got there they were in awe noticing the boys were shirtless playing ball. Jeena smiled to herself noticing Rell had a nice six pack and he was actually a little buff. Shanell noticed and looked a Jeena smiling.
"So what were you saying about not feelin him" MonNae said still in awe.
"Nothing at all" Jeena said and they all busted out laughing. The girls walked over to a picnic table and just watched.
"Jeena you should really talk to Rell though, he really does like and girl he has a job"
"Yeah at ACM" Jeena sneered.
"So a job is a job and thats even better we can go to the movies for free" Shanelle said high fiving MoNae.

"So What?" was Jeena reply.
"Are you gonna talk to him tonight?" MoNae smiled.
"It all depend on if he's still interested" Jeean said seriously. Shanell and MoNae looked at each other and busted out laughing.
"Of course he's still interested" Shanelle said still laughing.
"Then we'll see" Jeena smiled. The girls watched the boys play and talked untill they were done.
"Alright yall ready to go" Mar asked.
"Yeah" MoNae answered and walked toward her man and kissed him sweaty and all.
"Yall played a good game" she said smiling.
"Yeah but Cash still won" Rell said shaking his head as Myrie tied his shoe and smiled.
"Alright come on yall" Myrie said walking toward Shanelle.
"Yeah cause I'm hungry" Shanelle said grabbing her stomach.
"Like thats new" Myrie said poking Shanelle in the side.
"Stop it" Shanelle giggled.
"Yall need to stop" Jeena said laughing "Yall might as well go out"
"I don't think Myrie's girlfriend would like that" Shanelle said smiling at Myrie and turning toward his house.
"I think I should fix that" Myrie said following Shanelle.
"I do too cause this game is getting old and we all know yall like each other" Jeena smiled.
"Right, it's so obvious" MoNae laughed.
"Okay yall I think they got it" Mar said grabbing MoNae by the waist.

"I swear I wish I lived here" Rell said.
"Shoot me too"Jeena said.
"Well yall welcome to come over whenever just let mme know" Myrie said getting up from watching t.v. with Shanelle. "Are yall hungry?" Myrie asked.
"Of course" Shanelle said firrst to answer.
"Of course you are Shanelle" Myrie said smiling.
"Well you asked" Shanelle giggled.
"Come on then" Myrie said. Myrie Shanell and Camrell walked up to the kitchen. Where Camrells eyes looked as if they would pop out his head when Myrie opend the cabinets and the refrigerator.
"Get what you want" Myrie said generously.
"Don't tell him that Myrie he gone try and take your whole kitchen" Shanelle said jokingly.
"Shut up Shanelle, I only want a couple of things" Rell said grabbing the big bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos, a six pack of orange soda, some Chips Ahoy cookies, the bag of Starburst, and the bag of Skittles.
"See what a couple of things looks like Myrie" Shanelle said pointing toward Camrell.
"Shut up Shanelle I'm grabbing things for everyone" Camrell said defensively.
"okay" Shanelle laughed and Rell walked out of the kitchen and back down the stairs.
"I hope your dad won't mind us eating all his food" Shanella said seriously.
"Naw thats why he buys it my dad don't eat stuff like this and he's barely home to even notice"
"Oh okay"
"Yeah"
"So" Shanelle said softly.
"So" Myrie said back.
"I want some real food you got some of them frozen hot wings"
"Yeah Shanelle they in the freezer"
"Okay you want some" Shanelle said taking out the bag.
"Yeah, but I wanna talk to you"
"Go head talk" Shanelle said as she put the pre-cooked hot wings in the micrwave.
"I know I told you about my girlfriendand all that"
"yeah" Shanelle said wondering where this was going.
"well do you think I should break up with her since were so far away from one another" Myrie asked sincerly. 'YES!!' Shanelle screamed in her mind. 'tell him yes' Shanelle thought to herself.
"Well Myrie it all depends on if you love her and if you still feelin her, you know?"
"Well to be honest I'm kinda feelin somebody else right now" Myrie smiled.
"Is that so" Shanelle smiled back.
"Yeah thats why I need to know if I should give up on the old to try and get to know the new better"
"Myrie I don't want you to break up with her for me" Shanelle said even though she really did.
"Who said I was talking about you" Myrie said walking out the kitchen to his room.
"How you just gone say that and leave" Shanelle shouted.
"Well come here"
"I ain't coming up there"
"Why you scared" Myrie joked but in reality she was a little afraid.
"Never would I be"
"Then come here I ain't gone do anything to you" Myrie teased.
"Shut up" Shanelle said and walked up the stairs. Shanelle had never been up stairs, she wondered what would happen next.
"Myrie" She called out.
"Come here" Myrie called and Shanelle followed the sound of his voice. She walked in to what seemed to be Myrie's room. Myrie sat in a bean bag chir with his phone at hand.
"Sit down" Myrie whispered and Shanelle sat on his bed. Myrie then put his phone to his ear and waited for someone to answer. Finally he said
"Kylie"
"Myrie what are you doing?" Shanelle asked in a whisper. Myrie put up his finger as if to tell her to wait and be quiet. So Shanelle laid back on his bed and put her hands over her face.
"So what you doing right now" after he said that he put the phone on speaker.
"Nothing chillin, I been thinking about you"
"Is that so?" Myrie said as if he knew she was lieing.
"Yeah baby of course" Kylie giggled and so did Shanell slightly to herself.
"Kylie I need to ask you a question" Myrie said seriously.
"Go head" Kylie answered.
"Are you cheating on me?" Myrie asked but he already knew the truth. "You don't have to lie I already know the truth" He finished.
"Myrie I'm sorry its just I can't do this long distance thing" she answered sadly.
"Why didn't you just tell me that Kylie?"
"Because I didn't want to hurt you, I guess this is hurting you more than me just telling you huh?"
"Yeah"
"Well I apoligize really I do"
"It's cool I'm not really mad, how can I be I mean we should have known being so far from one another wouldn't really work out" Myrie said.
"Maybe it's just not for us, you know maybe we weren't right for one another"
"Maybe your right Kylie, I'll talk to you later"
"Okay bye Myrie"
"Bye" Myrie said and they hung up. Myrie looked at Shanelle who was still laying back on his bed. Shanell turned to look at Myrie and she gave kind of a smirk.
"So" She said.
"So what?"
"What does this mean?" she asked.
"what does what mean?" Myrie said playing dumb. Shanelle rolled her eyes.
"Nothing I guess"
"Oh you mean with us"
"Naw" Shanelle said sarcastically.
"I don't know, what do you want it to mean, I ended that relationship so I could get to know a certain person I was really beginning to like" He said getting up to sit on the bed but Shanelle still just laid on the bed turned toward Myrie.
"So who's the girl your feelin" Shanelle asked softly.
"Oh you know her, her name starts with a S"
"I wonder" Shanelle said putting her finger to her chin as if she was thinking.
"It's you and you know it"
"Is it now " Shanelle said finally leaning up.
"Yeah I really like you, you down to Earth and funny, smart, beatiful, and I can talk to you about anything" Myrie said looking Shanelle in the eyes.
"Aww" she said smiling "I guess your alright" she said lightly shoving Myrie's shoulder.
"Whatever you want me, I can see it in your eyes"
"Some ones a little over confident" Shanelle smiled.
"No really how do you really feel about me " Myrie said changing the subject.
"Well I really enjoy being with you, your sweet, funny, Hansome, strong, and yet I still feel there's more to you than your telling or not telling"
"Why do you think that?"
"Myrie you asked how i feel about you and thats how I feel"
"You right thats why you should let take you on a date"
"I really don't like dating, it puts to much pressure on people"
"okay so what do you want?"
"Really to be honest and don't laugh"
"Okay" he smiled.
"I just want to be with you"
"Like ho what do uou mean?"
"Like this, us chillin just being with you makes me smile"
"So what you tryna be my girlfriend?"
"No it's too early for that, I just want to chill with you"
"So if I asked you, you would say no?"
"Of course not so don't ask" Shanelle smiled.
"What if I wanted to kiss you, friends don't do that, and I been thinking about kissing you for a while now, just to know how it would feel"
"I ain't gonna lie I've
