In Alicia's house...
Alicia goes to the door. She looks through the curtains next to the door. She sees Riley looking at her with pleading eyes. She rolls her eyes closes the curtain. Turns the tv and lights off in the living room and walks upstairs. She goes to her room and lays on the bed. She puts her head to her pillow and the tears start coming again. She thinks to herself "Why can't I find a guy who doesn't cheat on me with a slut. Well besides Marvin. I thought Riley would be different because we had known each other for so long, but I guess I was wrong. Dammit how could I be fooled by him." She cries herself to sleep.
The next day... (In the Freeman house)
Huey is downstairs making breakfast. Riley is upstairs in his house.
Upstairs with Riley...
Riley is upstairs in his shared room with Huey. He is getting dressed for school. He puts on his best gear. He grabs the necklace that he gave to Alicia off his dresser puts it in his pocket, and looks at himself in the mirror. He thinks to himself "Damn I look good. There's no way Alicia is gonna be able to ignore me." He turns off the light and walks downstairs.
Alicia and Kacey's house...
Kacey is downstairs waiting on Alicia.
Upstairs in Alicia's room...
Alicia is upstairs still in bed. She doesn't feel like going to school. She's listening to her IHome. The song "Not Anymore" comes on.

The song goes off. She rolls over and hears the door open. Its Jasmine and Janal.
"Girl what are you still doin in bed? School starts in an hour." Jasmine says
"I'm not goin." Alicia says
"Oh yes the hell you are." Jasmine says as she pulls the covers off Alicia.
"Why should I go?"
"Uh cuz its not the end of the world, and I kno you ain't finna let some wannabe thug keep you from goin to school."
"You kno what your right I'm not. Yall give me 30 minutes."
"Ok. Well be downstairs and remember we have to go pick everyone up so hurry."
"Yea I kno."
Janal and Jasmine leave the room. Alicia gets out of bed. She walks to the bathroom. She takes a shower and brushes her teeth. She walks to her closet. She looks at all her clothes. She needs to wear something thats going to make Riley regret cheating on her. She pics a low v-neck that shows her cleavage and some apple bottom jeans that are tight but not to tight. She gets her new air forces and throws them on. She checks herself out in the mirror. She thinks she looks good. She turns off the light in her room and closes the door. She walks downstairs and walks in the kitchen. She tells everyone she is ready to go and walks to the door. Everone follows they walk to the car and get in. Alicia stops next door and honks the horn. Huey and Riley come running out the house. She stops across the street and gets Jazmine. They ride to school. Huey leans over and whispers to Riley.
"Hey bro how you gone get Alicia back?"
"I'm gonna talk to her and I put on my flyest gear so she wont be able to ignore me. I also put on the cologne she bought me."
"You actually think thats gonna work?"
"Yea."
"Ok."
They finally get to school. They get out of the car. Alicia takes of her jacket and puts it in the car. She walks around the car. Everybodies head turns and they start whispering. Riley, Huey, Kacey, Jazmine, Janal, Jasmine, Cindy, and Caesar turn around wondering who everyone was looking at and their eyes land on Alicia. She was looking sexy. All the guys run over to her and so does Riley. He gets to the front.
"Aye all yall niggas need to back away from my girl." Riley says
"Riley it's ova." Alicia says
She walks away and walks over to the rest of the gang. She sits at the table everybody is sitting at.
"Girl you look fye." Cindy says
"Thanks." Alicia replies smiling
Everbody is still whispering. Riley walks over to the table and acts like nothing happened. Huey, Jazmine, Kacey, Jasmine, Janal, Cindy, Alicia, and Caesar are talking when Alicia's fone vibrates.
"Hello?" Alicia says
"Hey Alicia." says a guy
"Marvin?"
"Yea."
"OH MY GOSH MARVIN! How are you doin?" Alicia says loud enough for Riley to hear.
"Umm, good. I just wanted to call and see how you were."
"I'm doin good."
"Well i just wanted to let you kno dat me and Justin are gone to be in Woodcrest for 2 weeks. We should be there tonight."
"That's great I'll see you then."
"Ok. bye."
"Bye."
Alicia hangs up smiling. Everyone looks at her.
"Who was that?" Jazmine ask
"One of my best guy-friends and my ex-boyfriend." Alicia replies
"Oh is he cute?"
"Yea. He has waves, chocolate eyes, and milk chocolate colored skin."
"Oh he sounds cute."
"Except he is so nasty." Janal says
"How?" Jazmine ask
"He's a freak."
"So he comin down here or somethin?" Riley ask
"Yes he is. Him and my otha guy friend Justin are comin. Marvin is comin to see his aunt and he's bringin Justin."
"Oh so are you and Marvin like close?" Riley ask
"If you mean have we slept together than no."
"Oh."
"But dat don't mean she ain't done otha things wit him." Jasmine says
"Shut up yall wouldn't kno if yall hadn't wallked in. You kno its called knockin."
"Yea wateva."
The bell rings its time for class. They all head to class. Alicia sees Dwayne and she calles his name.
"DWAYNE!" Alicia yells
Dwayne turns around and stops.
"Would you walk wit me to class?"
"What bout yo boyfriend Riley?"
"Riley ain't my boyfriend no more. I broke up wit him." Alicia says with a sad look on her face
"Oh what happened?"
"I caught him recievin a gift from Kayla."
"Oh the school slut?"
"Yea her."
"Oh well I'm sorry."
"It's ok."
They walk to class together. They walk through the door and everybody starts to whisper. Riley walks in after them. He sits at his desk and ripes out a piece of paper from his notebook. He writes Alicia a note.
To: Alicia
4rm:Riley
Alicia can you meet me after class?
She replies: Don't you mean Kayla?
He replies: No I mean you and I'm sorry you had to see dat I wasn't thinkin at da time.
She replies: Yea I'm sure you weren't.
He replies: I was and mite I add you lookin very sexy today.
Alicia smiles.
She replies: Yea I kno. You don't look to bad yourself.
He replies: The whole reason I wore dis outfit is to impress you. I'm also wearin the cologne you bought me.
She replies: Well I must admit I'm impress, but not enough to forgive you.
He replies: Well what else I gotta do den?
She replies: I don't kno you tell me, but you betta hurry cuz Marvin's comin tonight. Hes stayin for two weeks.
He replies: Aight.
An hour and 10 minutes later the bell that means class is over rings. Everybody goes to all there classes. School is finally over. They all get in the car. Alicia drops everone off and heads home. She gets out the car and sees to guys sitting on the steps. She looks and sees its Marvin and Justin. The guys get up and Alicia, Jasmine and Janal walk over to them. They all give Justin a hug. Then Janal and Jasmine give Marvin a hug. Alicia stands infront of Marvin. She looks at him and he looks back at her. She gives him a hug. They all walk in the house and head to the living room. Janal turns on the tv. Alicia ask everyone if they want something to drink. She goes to the kitchen to get the drinks and Marvin offers to help. They walk into the kitchen and Alicia heads over to the fridge. She can feel Marvins body heat behind her. She turns around and he kisses her. He lifts her up and puts her on the counter. They're making out when they feel eyes looking at them. They break apart and look at the doorway. They see Justin, Janal, and Jasmine standing there and they're all smiling. Alicia hops off the counter and heads back over to the fridge she grabs the sodas, and walks back into the living room with everyone walking behind her. She hands everyone their drinks and sits on the love seat, and Marvin comes and sits beside her. Alicia leans her head on his shoulder and she starts to cry. Marvin hears her and looks at her.
"Whats wrong?"
"I used to do this with Riley."
"Oh well I can move if you want."
"NO! Please don't I really missed you."
"Aight."
Marvin leans back. Alicia puts her head on his chest. She thinks about what could happen if Marvin stays the night. She smirks to herself. They start to catch up on things in each others lives. Marvin is single. Justin is dating a girl named Kiera. Janal is talking to a guy named Tim. Alicia is single. Jasmine was talking to a guy named Marquis. They talk about school and the teachers and drama.
8:00 p.m...
They're still watching tv. Marvin and Alicia are making out. The doorbell rings. Janal gets up to answer the door. She opens the door and in walks Riley. He stops in the doorway to the living room, when he sees Marvin and Alicia making out. Riley is furious. He walks over and stands above Alicia and Marvin. They look up. Alicia stands up.
"Riley what the hell do you want?"
"I came to see you."
"Well as you can see I'm busy."
"YEA KISSIN ALL OVA DIS NIGGA!"
"Aye man you need to stop yellin at her." Marvin says standing up.
"I can yell at her if I want to. What you gone do bout it?" Riley ask
"Nigga you don't want to try me."
"Nigga sit yo ass down you ain't finna do shit."
Marvin is furious. Riley smirks at him. He's got Marvin right where he wants him. He's finna show Alicia whose a better man.
"Aww look dis niggas mad." Riley says
Marvin looks at Alicia. Then at Justin. Justin knows what Marvins going to do. Justin nods his head. Marvin looks back at Riley. Marvin pulls back his arm and...
