Chapter 23

Diamond

              Summer was my favorite time of the year. June had came rolling by before I could even blink my eyes. I had been spending allot of time with Shiryiah, Kimbella, and Ashley. We were actually becoming good friends. I was starting to forget about the twins. We would hang out time and time again, but since it was summer and I wasn't seeing them everyday like I was when we were in school, I was starting to break away from them. Out of the five girls that I said that I would never get close to, but ended up getting close to them anyway, I still felt that Kianna was my favorite. She hated the fact that I hung out with Shiryiah and them, and Shiryiah and them hated the fact that I hung with her, but I made our relationships work. It was dark outside and the warm summer air caressed my skin joyfully. Since it was the summer, I put away all of my winter shit and brought out my summer fashion. I had on an orange spaghetti strapped belly shirt, a short, white jeaned skirt, some cute white sandals, and a bracelet  on my wrist. My legs were shined up, my toes were painted hot pink, my hair was up in my signature hair style which was a high, side ponty tail with my fake, brown hair dangling to my shoulders. I had large gold hoops in my ears, a gold necklace around my neck, a gold belt around my waist, and a gold ankle bracelet on my ankle. I was looking fly. I walked with Shiryiah, Kimbella, and Ashley down the city streets of Queens. I knew that they were glad to be seen with me because I looked looked ghetto fabulous and girls like that attract attention from everyone. We had just gotten out of a movie and it was going on nine o'clock at night. Kimbella was leading all of us to the bus station to catch the bus back to the group home when all of a sudden we seen a group of boys walking across the street from us. There was so many of them, I counted seven or eight. They eyed us and we eyed them. They were cute, but one boy in particular was starring me down. Like me, he was the best looking out of all of his friends and was dressed to impress. They just kept starring at us from across the busy street until finally they ran across it dodging cars until they made it to the bus stop. Now that I saw the boy up close, I wanted to jump on him and suck on his bottom lip. He was sexy. He might even have been a little sexier than Cruze. He had light, caramel skin like I did, straight white teeth, a crispy edge up, with a nappy fro, and a black diamond stud in both of his ears. His lips were full, he had no facial hair, and not one pimple on his face. I looked him up and down. I could tell that he had a nice body under his clothes and I wanted so desperately to see what was under his shirt. He had on a black t-shirt that looked brand new, crisp, shorts, and a fresh pair of red and black Jordan's were on his feet. The boy sagged with red and black basketball shorts hanging off his ass, and he had a diamond watch resting on his left wrist. "Wuss up ma". He said to me ruining my thoughts of touching his body in all his happy places. This boy walked and talked with a mean swagger. He was fine, he was sexy, and I knew that all the girls probably wanted him, but I was going to be a lady about things. The boy just starred down at me with a sexy ass smirk on his face. I looked over his shoulder at his friends who were trying to talk to Shiriyah, Kimbella, and Ashley. Some looked mad that this boy got to me first, but I was glad that he did. "Shawty. you don't say much". The boy said. I shook my head then let my eyes meet with his. He was taller than me and my face met up with his chest. That was another turn on for me. I didn't know if I was ready to start talking to other boys yet because I still was in love with Cruze. I still had a gut feeling that he would come and find me and we would run off together. It didn't matter how many boys I started talking to because if somehow Cruze found me, then I was willing to drop all them for him. What could I say? I loved him. I starred into the eyes of the boy just thinking about Cruze. "Ma". He said starting to laugh a little. "Can you at least tell me your name"? I quickly came back to reality, pushed my thoughts aside, and put on my game face. I smiled and showed the boy my perfect teeth and he smiled back showing me his.
