CHAPTER 8: AND YOU ARE…?

School was over and the crew decided to head over to Caesar's. His aunt Joan left 40 dollars on the counter for him, so he decided to use it for a little celebration of the girls' performance. It was nothing new. They always celebrated every time the girls danced.

But they never danced like that before.

And not only did he do it for the girls, but he also did it for a little 'good luck' on his, Cindy's and Riley's game tomorrow. So Caesar decided to treat everyone by ordering two large pizzas (pepperoni and bacon), hot wings, a two-liter Coke and a medium veggie pizza with no sauce (for Huey of course).

As everyone waited for the pizza man to arrive, they sat in the living room. Jazmine, Cindy and Stacia stood against the wall by the window, chatting away as Riley and Caesar sat on the floor playing Call of Duty: Black Ops on the PS3. Huey sat on the sofa behind them and watched them play.

Riley was whooping Caesar's ass in the game and he couldn't stop laughing as Caesar kept shouting out. "No!" "Hey!" "That's not fair!" "My button stopped workin'!"

"Whateva nigga." Riley eventually replied through his laughter. Huey just shook his head at the two.

The girls were just talking about what they were going to wear to the homecoming dance the following day. Cindy decided to wear a red, strapless dress that had a gold lining right under her bra-line. Her heels were gold and tomorrow, she would go to Stacia's to get a French mani & pedi. She wanted to straighten her hair and flip it. Then she wanted to take two pieces of her hair on either side of her face and pull it back for that princess hairstyle kinda thing. As for her makeup, she wanted it to be as natural as possible.

Jazmine chose to wear a strapless dress that was a white color on top, and sort of a blue green at the bottom. Her dress had a bow on her right side of it. Her heels were silver with a few studs leading up to the straps that would be ankles. Her nails were already painted so she didn't have to worry about that. She decided on wetting her hair and making it curly. Of course she'd have to put hair stuff in it so that it didn't get poofy. For her makeup, she wanted her eyelids a subtle blue color blending with white. She didn't necessarily like eyeliner, but if she decided to use that, she wouldn't use too much. Of course the cosmetic departure is to be assisted by none other than Stacia Jackson.

And speaking of Ms. Jackson, she decided on wearing a black spaghetti strap dress with silver specks running along the bottom part of the dress. Her heels were black and silver. Her hair was in micros, so she decided to wear them out. Her makeup would consist of smoky eyelids and thick eyeliner that would have little curves at the corner of her eyes. She would personally redo her nails to white, black and grey.

All of the girls' dresses were right above their knees and they decided not to even mess with the mascara. They're eyelashes were long enough. They did however decide on wearing clear lip gloss. Lipstick was a bit much.

"I can't wait! My baby's in for a surprise." Stacia exclaimed at first, but whispered the second line, causing the other girls to smile and nod in agreement. Though Cindy had no date, she knew that any boy would be impressed with the way she was going to look tomorrow. She still couldn't help but feel that twinge of envy towards Stacia, but she quickly threw that emotion out the window. They were friends, she would just have to try to find someone else and get over her Riley crush.

Jazmine glanced over her shoulder to spot Huey looking at the other boys play the game with an amused expression. Caesar was really upset and it looked as if he was trying not to lash out on Riley.

She smiled and turned to see her friends' amused expressions as well. Cindy had an eyebrow raised and Stacia had her lips curved. Jazmine just blushed and grinned at them. "Stop it."

"No, you stop it you love sick fool." Cindy joked.

"Y'know, I don't even know why you keep mentioning the word love. We just started going out, Cindy." Jazmine retorted, a little annoyed. Cindy snorted and rolled her eyes as Stacia giggled.

"Girl, please. You niggas can't stand bein' away from each other. Ya'll can't fight the urge to kiss each other when ya'll together-"

"And the way ya'll stare at each other may be an indication." Stacia added by cutting Cindy off. Cindy just sucked her teeth.

"Nigga, don't do that." She warned her, as if Stacia would care. Stacia just shrugged as Jazmine rolled her eyes.

"Stop it you guys. We don't love each other yet. We just really, really, really like each other." She started and sucked her teeth when she saw her friends smiling faces. "Look, even if we did love each other, we still need to take it slow."

Stacia nodded, but Cindy rolled her eyes. "Girl, whateva. The heart wants what the heart wants and your heart wants Huey." She stated as she pointed at Jazmine and Huey.

"Yeah Cin, but if Jazmine doesn't want to rush, we shouldn't pressure her into doing it." Stacia reasoned with her. She could see where both girls were coming from, but she also knew how Jazmine was feeling. "I know you've been waitin' for this day to come for a long time." She half-joked, "But they'll come around and realize that they can't live without each other. It's only a matter of time."

Jazmine listened intently to her friend as her best friend just stared. After a few seconds, Cindy sighed.

"Yeah, I guess you right. Aye nigga, since when were you the Love Guru." She joked. Stacia and Jazmine laughed.

"Girl, you know me." She playfully boasted. All the laughter erupting from the girls caused the boys to look in their direction. Riley and Caesar decided to call a quits to the game a few minutes ago, so they were no longer unaware of their surroundings.

"Hey, what ya'll talkin' about?" Riley nosily asked. Stacia looked at him and grinned sweetly.

"Just girl stuff, baby." She replied. Riley wasn't convinced at all, but just as he was about to interrogate her, the doorbell rang.

"FOOD!" Cindy yelled, causing everyone to pause and stare at her. "Uhh…" She began as the silence became awkward. After a few seconds, laughter erupted from all of her friends and her cheeks grew red.

"Yo' fat ass." Riley joked, still laughing. Cindy eventually laughed with them as Caesar rose up from the floor to answer the door.

The impatient person behind the door rang the doorbell once again, causing Caesar to smirk as he maneuvered closer to the door. "Yeah, yeah, I'm comin'." He simply yelled. Once he opened the door, however, he happened to find a short, beautiful pizza woman standing there looking pissed off. Caesar smirked again, that is until he realized something.

He knew this person.

"Briana?" He asked in disbelief. He could've sworn that an uppity girl like her would work somewhere more…well, he just didn't expect her to be a pizza deliverer. She sucked her teeth in annoyance and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah. Just get your big ass order and give me the damn money." She knowingly snarled in a harsh tone. She knew Caesar was far too nice to respond to a female in such a negative manner, but what she didn't know was that his best friend, the white girl with the ethnic vocabulary, happened to walk up behind him and hear the entire thing.

"Bitch, they pay you to talk to yo' customers like that?" Cindy retorted in a tone that meant she was definitely, not playing. Briana nearly jumped at the sudden voice, but her facial expression didn't change. Just then, Cindy decided to move from behind Caesar so the girl could see her, and once the girl saw her, she was officially intimidated. Caesar just smirked at the little display in front of him.

Briana knew Cindy could beat her ass. She witnessed the girl nearly send that buff nigga Juve to the hospital back in 6th grade. Well, Cindy was in 6th grade, but Briana was in the 8th.

So Heaven only knew how much Cindy's fighting skills had improved.

Though Briana was still struck with fear, she tried to play it off by rolling her eyes and opening up one of the pizza bags. In the first one was two large pizzas, so she took those out first, handing both of them to Caesar. She was trying hard not to look in Cindy's direction as she opened the second bag.

"Aye Huey, Riley, get these pizzas, yo. We still need to bring everything else in." Cindy threw her head back and yelled to the boys. In a matter of seconds, Huey and Riley showed up a little annoyed.

As Huey saw the one person he didn't expect to see, his annoyance grew.

Briana noticed the boy's expression and once the others weren't looking, she flashed him a smile. Huey's eyebrow went up and it seemed as if he was about to speak until…

"Aye nigga, yo' lazy ass ain't bout to leave me hangin'! Get yo' damn veggie pizza." Riley demanded , holding the veggie pizza and the hot wings. The others were already heading to the living room. Cindy had the Coke and Caesar had the two large pizzas. Huey just rolled his eyes and took his pizza from his younger sibling. After Riley turned to go back to the living room, Huey was about to do the same, but the girl's voice stopped him.

"Veggie pizza? That's so you, Huey." She softly said in a weird, girly voice. No one was used to her acting like that, so Huey was a little thrown off.

But not only by that.

He didn't even know this girl! Who the hell is she to say 'That's so you, Huey.'? The only time he's really noticed her presence is when she 'accidently' touched his butt in the gym earlier. He knew she was stuck up, but that's all he knew about her. So why does she feel like she could just say something like that as if they were friends? He didn't even know her name!

Now, Huey was not exactly the nicest person, so if this girl expected him to laugh and giggle at her stupid attempts to talk to him, she was in for a world of hurt. He didn't exactly want to come off as rude to her though. I mean, she did apologize for what she did earlier, and she said it was an accident. And she hasn't been rude to him, so why would he be mean to her?

Oh yeah, that's right. He's Huey Freeman.

But still…he felt like it would be unfair to respond to her sudden outburst in a harsh manner, so he responded in the nicest way he possibly could.

"And you are…?"

Well, I said the nicest way he possibly could, not the nicest way possible.

Briana fought the urge to roll her eyes and smiled at the cute hair boy in front of her. "I'm Briana." She answered, beaming excitedly. At her retarded response, Huey rolled his eyes.

"Yeah," He replied in an uncaring way, "Well, okay Briana."

Briana's smile began to decrease as she saw his bored expression.

"Nice chat, but I'm hungry, so…"

"Oh, sorry. I guess I should be going then." Briana responded in yet another false apologetic look.

"I guess so." Huey replied bluntly before closing the door, leaving the slightly distraught young women on the porch. Briana glared at the door in response, wishing to burn the house down with her eyes.

Uh, craazzyyy!

The little Blasian looked as if she was about to cry, but she held it in as she grabbed the pizza bags and headed to the car.

"One day, Huey Freeman. One day." She silently announced to no one in particular before opening the car door.

"Nigga, please. I know you good at basketball, but you never was better than me, Riley." Cindy declared as her and Riley argued, standing up behind the sofa. Riley made a quick dash to his home to change into his basketball shorts and his white wife beater about ten minutes ago as Cindy did the same, only instead of a wife beater, she had on a black tee.

The others were in different sections of the house. Jazmine and Huey were talking in the hallway, while Stacia was helping Caesar pick an outfit for the homecoming dance upstairs.

Riley scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Bit-I mean, girl please." He quickly corrected himself before Stacia heard him. "We ain't played against each other since, what, the 8th grade?"

Cindy did her crazy laugh and rolled her eyes. "Oh, I think we all know why you decided to stop playin' against me."

Riley rose up that 'Huey eyebrow'. "Uh, yeah, because my Granddad made me quit playin' and had me cuttin' the grass every fuckin' month. Then, I just forgot about playin'."

Cindy shook her head rapidly, grinning from ear to ear. "Naw, nigga. You was scared."

"What!" Riley replied in a loud boyish shriek. Cindy just laughed at him.

"C'mon, Riley. You know damn well you stopped playin' 'cause you couldn't take bein' beat by no girl." She teased. At that, Riley groaned and shook his head.

"Girl, PLEASE! If I really wanted to beat you, I would've done so a long ass time ago. You was a girl. I won't about to have yo' ass cryin' and runnin' to yo' mama over a lil' ass game." He half-lied. While he really didn't want that to happen, he also didn't want Cindy to beat him, so rather than letting her win, he was trying his damndest.

Cindy rolled her eyes and turned around to head to the backyard. "C'mon." She ordered.

"What?"

"Nigga, since you basically sayin' you let me win, play me for real. No bullshit." She challenged him.

Riley was a bit hesitant at first, but he was not about to go out like no punk. "Aiight, fine. But you gon' be sorry." He warned before following her outside.

Meanwhile, Huey and Jazmine went upstairs to meet up with Stacia and Caesar. As the opened the door to Caesar's room, they found him with his knees on the ground and his forehead on the bed as if he was frustrated. They looked to the right to find Stacia all up in Caesar's closet.

"Man, you don't got no good dress clothes up in here. We gon' have to go to the store." Stacia declared and when she turned around, she found Jazmine and Huey looking at her. She smiled and waved to them and then walked over to Caesar to lift him up off the ground.

"Damn it, Stacia. I'm tired of this. You can go, but I'll stay here." Caesar replied in a more than tired voice. Stacia just rolled her eyes.

"Nigga, that ain't nothin' but the itis talkin'. That's what you get for eatin' so much." She said, waving her hand in the air.

"Stacia, please."

"No! C'mon. No friend of mine is gon' be goin' to homecoming lookin' raggedy." She finalized in a motherly fashion. As she fiercely grabbed Caesar's arm, earning a chuckle from Jazmine, she asked the couple if they wanted to go with them. And they agreed.

"Wait a minute," Stacia started, "Where's Riley?"

"And Cindy?" Caesar added.

"They're outside playing basketball." Jazmine answered. The other two friends just nodded before Stacia grabbed her keys.

Riley and Cindy were playing 21 on the court for the last time. So far, they've played five games and each of them had won two of them. This last game would determine who the true victor was.

By the looks of it, Riley looked like he was winning. Not by much though. He was at 20 points whereas Cindy was at 19. Both of them just needed one shot in order to win the game.

Dribbling the ball, Riley smirked at his opponent and did a few tricks. "Cindy, I'd hate to see you lose, but I like to see me win even more." He boasted. Cindy rolled his eyes in slight irritation. She had to admit, Riley improved a lot since his childhood. Hmm, maybe he was holding it back.

"Whateva, just shoot the damn ball before I steal it from you!" She threatened him, causing him to smirk and raise an eyebrow.

"So, you mad?"

"Shut up." She replied in a tired voice before charging towards Riley, but he was too quick for her as he shook her and ran right past her. Right before she could catch up to him, he shot the ball into the hoop and called it a game.

"That's game, baby! I win!" He cheered while Cindy groaned.

"Whateva. But yo, I'm about to head home. Let the others know I'm gone." Cindy told him as he nodded. "Oh yeah, and you might wanna go home to take a shower. You lookin' all sweaty and shit. Not attractive." She joked. Riley just laughed at her.

"Please, I got a girl. I ain't tryna impress nobody but her." He said smiling. Cindy smiled back but her eyes obtained a hidden sadness in them.

"Yeah, well I'll see you later, Riley." She finally said before walking through the house to go home through the front.

"Aiight, see ya C-Murph." He joked, calling her by her childhood nickname. Cindy laughed and shook her head and within seconds she was gone.

Cindy was exhausted. After the Pep Rally, the great big pizza feast and all that running around on the court, a nice long hot shower would do her some good. As she walked down the street, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Normally, she'd hop in the car with the Freemans or Jazmine, but they were gone and she really needed to get home. She only walked down the street once, but she was with the girls, not by herself.

And don't you all go and call Cindy a punk. She may be a thug but she's still a vulnerable teenager walking down the streets in the late evening. So it'd be natural for her to feel some type of way.

As she continued to walk, she could've sworn she heard some footsteps walking behind her. She stopped walking and quickly turned around to find…no one. She looked around and noticed nothing but the eerie silence. Rolling her eyes, she continued to walk forward. "Man, whateva. Maybe I'm just imagini-AHHH!"

Well she most certainly wasn't imagining anything, for at that moment, someone held a mean grip around her throat. She tried her hardest to loosen out of the grip, but she found it impossible, as the mysterious figure continued to strangle her.

At that moment, she felt it. She felt the tears pouring out of her eye sockets involuntarily. This dude, or girl, was chocking her that hard. Just what did she do to deserve this? She only talked to the people in her circle and she hasn't been mean to the people who didn't deserve it for over five years now. What was going on? Who was this person?

She tried again to make more noises, attempting to talk, scream, do something! But the potential killer was not letting go, and Cindy was beginning to lose consciousness.

No! Cindy, wake up!

She mentally scolded herself to stay awake, but soon her brain functioning began to falter as she slipped away into unconsciousness, but right before she was completely out of it, she heard someone very familiar call her name.

Cindy!

NO! LIVE CINDY LIVE! I wonder what's gonna happen next!

I could take a few suggestions lol. I already have an idea, but I'd love to hear from you. So please review & thanks in advance!
