No Strings (DeVante Swing)

Chapter 1

·Karena·

I cried as I watched the burial people place my grandma under ground.

I felt a comforting hand on my back I turned around and saw Ms.Sheila.

"Come on sweetie". She said as she wipes her eyes. I got in her car and prepare myself for a long ride.....

This is Karena Amara Jones. She is 17 and has been through a lot. Her dad left her mother when she first had her so she never had a father figure to look to. Her mom is a crackhead whose been addicted since Karena was 10. She used to bring men in and out of their house and they used to touch on Karena so she got put under her grandma custody. Now her grandma was gone and she has to go stay with her mom's ex best friend Sheila.

" Sweetie I know this is hard on you trust me I understand I want you to feel comfortable around me I'm here for you" she said in a southern accent.

I smiled weakly.

"Thank you Mrs.DeGrate"

She was really a sweet woman and I appreciate it.

"Well let's get ready to head to your new home".

We made it to North Carolina I was amazed at how pretty it was
It was more bright and had pretty grass and people was barbecuing.

All you see in Queens is mostly rusty beat down buildings. Don't get me wrong I still love New York,but I just might love the South as well.

We pulled up to a nice sized house it was real nice.

(House In The Media☝☝)

"Okay Rena we're here" Mrs.DeGrate said.

I got out the car and stretched. I heard some old school music playing. I turned around and saw two boys playing basketball and one of them had a chocolate complexion with a nice fade and the other one had a light caramel complexion with these little braids but they were cute on him.

   They caught me staring the one with the braids bit his lip and put up a call me sign and began to dance with it.

   The chocolate brotha took the ball and hit the other dude in the head with it. They began to argue and push each other. I laughed at them.

"Handsome right" I turned around and saw Ms.Sheila was standing behind me smiling.

" Oh Ms. Sheila I wasn't looking at them I was just-

" Girl I know you looking at that chocolate boy" she said putting her hand on her hip.

" Well ma-

" Hey Tyrin Hey Larenzo" she yelled waving at them smiling.

"Heeeeey Mrs.DeGrate" the boys said back googly eyeing her.

She smiled at them one more time.

" I be looking too girl" she said as we shared a laugh together. She was so pretty for her age.

"Mommmy " a boy screamed.

He was a light chocolate. I laughed as he trembled behind her. This was probably going to be a good change.

The door bust open and out came another boy he was nice looking. He had pretty smooth caramel skin. He had the most beautiful eyes I've ever saw. I trail down to his lips and let me tell you about those lips. They were pink and ju-

"FUCK YOU LOOKING AT" I instantly got knocked out of my trance.

I looked up at the boy as his honey orbs burned into my soul I looked away embarrassed.
