Present: 6:30 am Timid Deer Lane

It was a chilly and foggy spring morning in Woodcrest. The sky was a dreary purple from the sun just barely waking. Birds were singing from the treetops, there was melting frost on the grass and trees, rewarding the neighborhood with a fresh smell of a new day. The air was crisp and dry, but not too cold. Jazmine loved mornings like this. It was just perfect for her to finally get outside again for her morning jog. Due to the winter cold the past few months, she was trapped running inside on the treadmill, which was nowhere near as fulfilling as running outdoors. Jazmine put in her earbuds and switched to her "Morning Jog" playlist on her phone, playing "Bartier Cardi" by Cardi B. She bopped her head as she slipped on her gloves and earmuffs and started her jog down her street.

She started at a modest pace, not trying to over do it. It was just a comfortable jog, like she was perfectly happy where she was at in life. She ran a couple blocks before she turned right onto the sidewalk of Main Street, where traffic was already starting to pick up. She let her mind wander to how far life has brought her so far. She has battled and sacrificed so much to get where she's at. As she ran past her squad's favorite pizza shop, she remembered how NONE of them brought their wallets, thinking that one of the other's was going to pay.

"Nigga! The fuck you mean you ain't bring no money?!" Cindy silently cursed at Riley.

"Bitch you know damn well I am as broke as you! And why you gettin' mad at me?! Where's YO money hoe?!" Riley retorted. Cindy looked over at Huey who was just sitting there nonchalantly.

"Fro boy! Don't leave us hangin now!" Cindy said, starting to sound desperate. Huey simply looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Did you see me eat a single slice of that greasy clogged artery mess?" Huey sneered. "Why would I pay for something I didn't eat? I didn't even bring my wallet either." He simply shrugged.

"Ohmigod!" Jazmine squeaked. Everybody's eyes darted straight at her. "We're going to jail! We didn't bring money for the bill! We're gonna be washing dishes and mopping floors until..!" Cindy quickly slapped her hand across Jazmine's mouth while Jazmine still squealed under it.

"Damn Punky shut the fuck up! What's wrong wit u? You gon' get us arrested!" Cindy silently yelled. Jazmine looked confused and scared as to what they were going to do about this bill, and why did she call her Punky? They all looked at each other waiting for one of them to come up with something, until the waitress eventually walked up to them.

"Can I get you guys anything else?" she asked popping her gum and scratching her weave with her pen.

"Nah we straight." Riley answered.

"Aite, are ya'll splittin' the bill or payin' together?" she asked tearing off their bill from her book.

"I'll take that!" Cindy grabbed for the ticket cooly, while everyone at the table looked at her confused.

"Okay, ya'll take ya'll time on that. I'll be right back," she said walking away. Cindy watched her walk to the back of the restaurant.

"Cin..what are you..?" Jazmine started

"Shh!.." Cindy interrupted. She then saw the waitress go into the ladies room. She simply grabbed Jazmine's hand, slid out of the booth and walked out the front doors with Jazmine in tow. Huey and Riley were stuck looking confused until they actually SAW them walking out the restaurant, and then sprung out of the booth and darted for the doors.

Jazmine giggled to herself thinking about how they had to order for delivery from then on after that incident. That was the first day she noticed Cindy was starting to act a little weird. She had started walking with her hand and hand everywhere they went, flirting with her, calling her cute names and even just subtly feeling her sometimes. They were best friends right? At the time, it seemed like typical 'best friend' behavior. However, their friendship was definitely headed somewhere that was more than just a friendship. Jazmine didn't know how to feel about it at the time until she really did have to take a stand for what she wanted. She then ran past her favorite childhood spot, the hill with a giant oak tree at the top that overlooked the entire city. She reminisced a memory she had of that "used-to be" sacred spot.

October 2, 2016 - Woodcrest Hilltop

Jazmine and Huey laid in the warm grass under the shade of that ginormous oak tree. Jazmine was watching the clouds while Huey was reading some book about the slave trade of West Africa.

"Jazmine," Huey asked. Jazmine immediately rose up supporting herself on her elbows and looked at him.

"Yes Huey?" Huey closed his book and started to look at her intensely. Jazmine simple stared back at him.

"You like me don't you?" he asked. Jazmine smiled.

"Of course I do Huey! You're my best friend!" she said sweetly with a bright smile on her face.

"I know that. But what I really mean is.." Huey trailed off. He didn't want to pry too much. "Do you…like me more than friends?" Jazmine was taken aback at his sudden change of mood. He never showed her this side of him before. Jazmine got off her elbows and completely turned around to face him.

"Where's all this coming from Huey?" Huey simply shook his head and reopened his book.

"Nowhere…it's nothing. Forget it." He shook her off and pretended to keep reading.

"Noo.." she took his book out of his hands and placed it on the ground beside them. "I will not forget it. You don't ask me something like that and just brush it off." Huey grunted and quickly stood up making Jazmine sit back.

"It seems I've been dropping hints on how I feel about you and you don't seem to mind them," he said irritably. Jazmine was now in full shock to his openness. Was he really feeling her like that? "And we've been friends for how long? And you never thought once that I may be fully interested in being with you?" Whoa. Jazmine stood up next to him. At 6'4 he towered over her at just 5'6. She looked up at him and took his hand.

"Wow, Huey!" she whispered. "I'm sorry I really didn't know." She looked in his eyes and she could tell that he really did love her. He just didn't want to admit it. "You really are important to me. And I care so much about you." Huey simply smirked and firmly grasped her hands back.

"So what do you say?" Huey asked stepping closer to her. Jazmine was starting to get really nervous now. She didn't know what to say or how to say it. This could very well put their friendship in jeopardy and she definitely didn't want that.

"Huey I-..I" before she could get anything else out, his lips were on hers. He pulled her close and she closed her eyes as she placed his hands on his chest. A couple seconds later, her eyes were were starting to well with tears and she pulled away. Huey looked at her confused.

"Jazmine are you okay? I'm sorry I didn't mean to.."

"No Huey. I'm sorry," Jazmine interrupted. "I'm sorry I led you on. I'm sorry I kissed you back. I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you. I don't even think I was being honest with myself," she said between sobs. Huey simply looked down at the grass. Jazmine covered her face with her hands.

"Honest with yourself how?" Huey solemnly asked.

"I'm not who you think I am, Huey. I'm sorry. I can't give my heart to you because you're not the one." Now that definitely stuck him. Jazmine didn't mean to sound harsh, but she had no other choice. Huey hung his head, bent down, picked up his book and proceeded down the hill looking defeated, leaving Jazmine crying.

One thing was for certain. Jazmine was right when she said she wasn't who Huey thought she was. She wasn't even who she thought she was. Over the next few months of their senior year in high school, the squad seemed to be going their separate ways. Huey and Riley went about their business and Jazmine and Cindy remained "best" friends…for a time. Jazmine checked her Apple watch which read 7:18 am. She then saw her mileage app read "3 miles". For the next 2 miles she decided to run down the gravel path which would lead her through the mild woods all the way back to her neighborhood. Her playlist was now playing "Up All Night" by Drake. She rapped along while jogging to the beat of the music. She passed a large, gravel, bald spot in the woods which was an all too familiar place.

April 28, 2017 Woodcrest - Timid Deer Creek

"C'mon Cindy. Let's just go to the movies or something. You know I don't like the outdoors!" Jazmine complained in the passenger's seat of Cindy's charcoal grey 2014 Chevrolet Camaro. Cindy rolled her eyes and continued swerving through traffic, making Jazmine hold on to the 'Oh shit' bar above her. Cindy was literally the epitome of a road maniac. And if you even dared saying something about her driving, she would immediately drop you off where you were at, no questions. So you either shut up and ride and nearly die or 'get to steppin' as she would put it.

"Jazz this spot is supposed to be live asf! All of Class of '17 gon' be there! Who the fuck passes up a bonfire for a movie? Where's yo sense of adventure ma?" Cindy took a quick glance over at her. Jazmine wore her navy blue leggings that went sheer on the sides going up to her thigh, a matching navy blue Michigan State sweatshirt, brown duck boots and a dark brown fluffy vest. She had her hair braided around the crown of her head and the rest flowing down behind her head in curly tresses. 'Damn she lookin nice tonight.' Cindy thought.

"I do have a sense of adventure!...Indoor adventure!" Jazmine retorted.

"Tuh!" Cindy chuckled. "Punky.." she called Jazmine. Jazmine immediately looked over at her when she called her that again. What was that supposed to mean? Cindy simply bit her bottom lip as she pulled up to the parking lot, where there were already about 30 cars already parked and more coming in behind them. From the looks of if Jazmine could already tell it was going to be liquor involved and that made her more nervous. Cindy parked the car and reached back behind Jazmine's seat, where she pulled out a brown paper bag.

"W-wh-what's that?" Jazmine asked nervously. Cindy gave her an obvious look as she pulled out the Peach Paul Mason bottle and dropped it back in. Jazmine rolled her eyes and started to grab the car door handle.

"Aht-Aht!" Cindy shouted. Jazmine stopped her hand where it was at. Cindy proceeded to get out the car, walk over to Jazmine's side and open the door for her. Jazmine immediately looked shocked. 'What the hell has gotten into her?' Jazmine stepped out the car carefully.

"As long as I'm in the car wit u gorgeous, you don't neva put yo hand on that handle. You understand me?" Cindy said getting awfully close to her. Jazmine automatically felt a heat rising in her chest.

"Uh…yeah.." Jazmine weakly said. Cindy bit her bottom lip and smiled. She popped the truck and got out a black backpack which she put some red solo cups and her brown paper bag in and something else Jazmine didn't exactly see. Cindy came back, grabbed her hand and they proceeded down the gravel path with several other students.

Jazmine's heart was pounding now. Why was she so comfortable with Cindy holding her hand everywhere? And calling her names like "gorgeous", "beautiful", "baby", "ma", and "Punky"? At first she wanted to just give her the benefit of the doubt..that they were just really close friends so it didn't' matter. Don't get her wrong Jazmine always had a hunch that Cindy was intimate with girls before, but could that be the case? Cindy had always been the tomboy type, dressed in men's clothes, walked and talked like a guy, very athletic, captain and highest scorer of the J. Edgar Hoover high school women's basketball team. Could this all be a coincidence? Or something more?

As they got closer, they could see the humongous bonfire in the center of the gravel bald spot in the woods. There were students all sitting around the fire, some scattered elsewhere dancing to the stereo someone had brought, and almost everybody was drinking. Jazmine had to admit, it did look a lot fun seeing how everyone from school was having a great time. They met up with some of Cindy's fellow senior teammates, who were saving spots for them by the fire.

"Come on Jazz. Come get warm." Cindy said warmly leading her over to fire circle. Cindy reached into her bag and pulled out a twin-size bed comforter blanket and laid it down for them to sit. As she was doing so, Jazmine looked across the fire and saw Huey! He was just sitting in the circle with his friends talking and sipping…probably vodka, but from what Jazmine could tell, he didn't seem faded at all. She grinned at him sweetly, but he met her gaze with a blank face and continued to talk with his friends. Jazmine's smile disappeared and she just sat down next to Cindy who was laughing and yelling with her teammates hysterically. Cindy looked over at Jazmine who didn't seem like she was having much fun.

"Punky!...what's wrong boo?" Cindy asked putting her hand on Jazmine's. Jazmine looked down at their hands, and grasped Cindy's hand.

"Nothing," she smiled up at her. "I think I would like a drink now please?" Cindy's face lit up immediately.

"Say no more!" Cindy opened up her bag again and pulled out two separate red solo cups and the brown paper bag. She popped open the bottle without taking it out of the bag, which Jazmine had to admit was mighty classy of Cindy, and poured them both a significant amount in each cup. "This here's the sweetest Brandy you ever tasted love." They cheered their cups together and sipped. Jazmine's face went bitter, but when that aftertaste hit her, she looked at Cindy in disbelief. Cindy gave her that "yeah I told you so" look and they both took another gulp…and another…and another. Then soon after another cup, and another cup.

Later in the night, the party was getting pretty lit. People were dancing, singing, and drinking, and the party throwers kept the fire burning, keeping the vibe up. Jazmine noticed Huey had left and thank God! After he left, she could finally let loose more.

It was after their third cup of alcohol that Jazmine and Cindy were hung all over each other, shouting the lyrics of "Love" by Keyshia Cole to the top of their lungs.

"LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVEEEE!" Jazmine hitting that note perfectly.

"NEVER KNEWWW WHAT I WASSS MISSSIINNNN!" Cindy came in not so subtly.

"BUT I KNEW ONCE WE START KISSIN! I FOOOOOOUUU-OOOOUUU-OOOUUUU-OOUUNNNNDDDD YOUUUUU!" Both of them were ridiculously out of pitch for that last part.

"Yo this shit was my JAM in the day!" Cindy said with a hand motion.

"Youuu ain't neva liied Cindy!" Jazmine laughed obviously pretty tipsy. "Sometimessss I think one kissss is all it takes to trulyyy know if you found the right!." Jazmine tapped on Cindy's knee. "..one!" Cindy looked at her in all seriousness.

"Couldn't agree more Punky," Cindy said biting her lip.

"Aye Yo! C-Murph! You bring da bud or what?" Tracy, the basketball team's power forward shouted.

"Yeah bruh gimme a sec damn!" Cindy looked in the small pocket of her backpack and pulled out a pretty thick joint. Jazmine was surprised to see that Cindy smoked marijuana. But it kind of looked interesting. "You don't mind do you bae?" Jazmine smiled and quickly shook her head. Cindy smiled and proceeded to light the end of the joint. Cindy held it close to her mouth and drew in a big puff. Jazmine watched intently. Cindy held it, sustained an inner cough or two, then opened her eyes as she let the smoke pour out. It was a strong, and pungent odor, nearly making Jazmine cough as well. Cindy took one more puff before passing it to Tracy, who puffed it like it was an oxygen mask. "Yo Trace, let up homie what the fuck! The weed ain't goin nowhere bruh take yo time!" That's when Jazmine tapped Cindy's shoulder.

"Uh…Cindy..? M-May I try?" Cindy's eyes widened in disbelief. Did lil ole innocent Jazmine Dubois really just ask to hit the joint?

"Are you sure Jaz? This some quality shit! You gon be trippin off yo nut if you not careful." Cindy warned. Jazmine nodded her head. Cindy shrugged and got the joint back from Tracy, then handed it to Jazmine. "Now remember, don't inhale unless you ready to. Just see how it taste first," Cindy smirked biting her lip. Jazmine cautiously brought the joint to her lips and gave it a good puff. She held the smoke in her cheeks and steadily inhaled it in. Her eyes started to water and the moment her throat couldn't take any more she let the smoke out. Cindy looked at her in astonishment.

"Whooeeyy…damn…that IS some good shit!" Jazmine let out.

"Daammnn Punky! Your first hit and you ain't cough? I guess you ain't a punk after all!" Cindy said. Jazmine looked over at her understanding now where she got that nickname. She simply sneered at her and took another big couple of puffs of the joint and inhaled them instantly, letting the smoke pour out of her nose. Cindy was now in full shock, looking at Jazmine like a badass. She took the joint from her, took a couple more puffs and handed it to Tracy for the rest. "Yo why you playin wit me like dat guhh? You're a natural-born stoner!" Cindy said getting closer to Jazmine. Jazmine grinned a goofy crossfaded smile making Cindy burst out in laughter.

"Whaaaattt?" Jazmine whined. Cindy wrapped her arm around Jazmine's waist pulling her close.

"Yo high ass. You just so damn adorable woman," Cindy whispered in her ear. Jazmine gave a silly confused look and pointed to herself. "Yeah, you! Goofy hahaha" Jazmine smiled some more and leaned in towards Cindy. That's when Cindy closed the space even more. Jazmine looked into Cindy's eyes as Cindy did as well. "So you reallyyy think you can find the right one just by one kiss?" Cindy asked biting her lower lip. Jazmine eyed Cindy's lips. Goodness! She was so sexy when she bit her bottom lip like that! She didn't know what was coming over her. Jazmine was used to being ogled at, but the way Cindy looked at her was exceptional, something she's never felt before. She didn't know if it was the liquor or the weed, but at this moment, she didn't care. Best friend or not, she was willing to go there. Jazmine gently placed her hand on Cindy's cheek and leaned in gently placing her lips on Cindy's. Cindy jumped slightly, but after feeling the softness and sweetness of Jazmine's lips, she closed her eyes and immediately deepened the kiss, pulling Jazmine more into her and resting her other hand on Jazmine's thigh. Jazmine's tongue danced with Cindy's, savoring the taste. Her head was absolutely spinning and a heat was rising in a place that made her feel like taking a quick trip with Cindy back to the car. They made out for another 20 seconds before Cindy pulled away, lightly biting Jazmine's lower lip. Jazmine's head fell back slowly as they separated. Their eyes were still barely open and they were still holding onto each other. It wasn't until they noticed that it was complete silence all around them. The music had stopped, people had stopped talking and everyone was looking straight at them. Cindy was the first to break the silence. "The FUCK ya'll lookin at?!"

Present - Timid Deer Lane, Jazmine's House

It was 7:35 am and Jazmine had ran all the way back to her house's back door. The sun was out now and the sky was beautiful pale blue and the temperature was already starting to rise. She sat on the wooden steps to the house to take a breather. She looked back on that night where she experienced MANY firsts: her first party, her first drink, her first joint, her first actual KISS! And it was with the love of her life. They had been dating ever since that night. Jazmine expected to get a lot of negative feedback from her friends about it, but surprisingly, they didn't care. The whole school was completely cool with it. Easy to say, Jazmine experienced a LOT of more "firsts" with Cindy but Cindy took her time with Jazmine, never rushing her and always making sure she was comfortable. Jazmine loved that the most about her. She was a mean hard-ass to everyone else, but when it came to Jazmine, she had a soft spot.

For as long as Jazmyn could remember, she and Cindy were inseparable. It never occured to her that Cindy was carrying a big one for her like this. Soon enough, Jazmine came to realize that deep down, there was always a deeper connection between her and Cindy: like in at one point she actually did have intimate feelings for Cindy, but she just didn' t pay it any mind. Now, almost two years later, they were both high school graduates and now undergrad students at Baltimore College. Cindy was a member of the Women's basketball team of course, majoring in Biology and Jazmine was majoring in Veterinarian Sciences. They were literally the talk of the entire campus. One could clearly see that they were a FIRE ass power couple, and indeed they were! They vibed so freely around each other because they were already best friends and had a deep connetion. They already trusted each other and were loyal to each other from the beginning. Just add amazing, earth-shattering, baby-making, soul-snatching sex in the mix and there you have it. Not only was the sex good, but Jazmine felt a love from Cindy like she' s never felt before. Cindy was so intense and strong but only Jazmine could reach that sensitive, compassionate center.

Jazmine went back in the house and got ready for school. She took a shower and put on a white Champion cut off T-shirt, faded high-waisted capris shorts, and her blue adidas. She sleeked her hair into a high puff, which literally looked like a crown of curls coming from the top of her head. She sleeked her edges and applied light make up. Just some mascara, a little foundation here, and some lip gloss. She put on her gold hoop earrings and the two karat gold filigree medallion Cindy bought her. It was now 8:45 am. Her first class, Behavior of Domesticated vs. Non-Domesticated Animals starts at 9:20 am. She looked at herself in the mirror, knowing she looked hella good. She thought 'Damn, who would a thought I'd be gay?' As she giggled to herself, she heard a car honk, right on schedule. She walked outside and saw Cindy leaning on her Camaro waiting. She had on a black long sleeve which hung down her body perfectly, tan colored biker jeans, which she sagged slightly, showing off her POLO draws, and black Jordan 12 Gs. She had a gold chain hanging from her neck with a diamond studded J at the end that Jazmine bought for her. Her hair was always in the two French braids going all the way down to her mid back, and a black and gold LA Lakers SnapBack.

'Damn, bae lookin' nice today,' Jazmine thought as she walked down the wooden steps. She could see Cindy's face looking her up and down biting her lip. Because of this Jazmine smirked and decided to add a little saucy swing to her hips as she approached the car.

"Keep playin wit me if you want to Punky," Cindy said in all seriousness. Jazmine giggled and placed a gentle and sweet kiss on Cindy's lips. "Cuz yo fine ass ain't gon make it to class on time. You can count on dhat!" Cindy added opening the passenger door for Jazmine. Jazmine got in and Cindy closed the door behind her. She walked around the front of the car and got in, starting the ignition.

"Well then who's gonna teach me how to tame the kitty when she's being bad?" Jazmine softly said. Cindy stomped down on the brakes, making the car jolt. She was NOT ready for that! Cindy gave her a hungry look. Jazmine simply smirked at her. That shit drove Cindy crazy;When Jazmine says something naughty looking so innocent, but she KNOW she a freak!

"Aite, keep that same energy tonight," Cindy retorted. Jazmine giggled and bit her lip as Cindy drove them to campus.
