"Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."
Jazlyn Lennox has been through literal hell with discovering secrets from friends, family, and enemies. She struggles with how to cope with it all until her bestfriend brother Chris steps in and helps guid...
"Can I come anyway, I just feel like it's going to be awkward" I sighed. Since it's a Friday I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind me staying over at her house for awhile.
"Sure I'll come with you" I said finally giving in. She smiled as we walked into school. I hated this prison with a passion. All these kids were drama filled and aggravating. I opened my locker when Bryson walked over to us.
"Hey babe" he said kissing my lips. I smiled. Bryson is my boyfriend and we've been dating for about year. He is very supportive and helps with anything I need.
"Y'all got Chick-fil-A without me. Fake" he said.
"Oh well nigga" Harlow said laughing. I chuckled grabbing the books I needed for class.
"So you busy tonight" he asked as we walked to class.
"Uh I'm suppose to be going over to Harlow house for dinner, why?"
"Tryna see if you wanted to chill with me" he said.
"I'll see what I can do" he nodded before letting me go to class. I took my seat in my usual seat which is beside Harlow. This girl Iris and her friends walked in taking loud as hell.
"Hey slut" she said to me with a laugh. I rolled my eyes and started doodling on my notebook.
"Hey don't let her get to you" Harlow said rubbing my back. Another reason why I hate this school is because news spread so fast. Something that happened some time back got back to the school and most of the girls have been calling me sluts, hoes, you name it. I was standing up for myself but when people didn't listen to my side of the story I gave up trying to prove myself. I mostly ignored the comments and carried on with my day.
"Okay class pass up your homework and start on your daily question" I pulled out my homework and passed mine up along with everyone else in my row. I then started on the assignment.

School was finally over and your girl was tired. I really wanted to go home and curl into my bed but I promised Harlow I would come over to her house today. I walked over to her car to see she was already over there waiting for me. I pulled my phone out and sent my mom a quick text of where I was going.
"Ready" she asked as she turned up her music. I put on my seatbelt and prayed. This child drives so fast, definitely when she is ready to go home. Kehlani was flowing through the speakers on the ride there. I was texting Bryson before he had to go to practice.
"I think my mom is making salmon" I did a little happy dance, that's the signature dish at their house. We pulled into her driveway. I grabbed my bookbag and hopped out.
"Mom is it okay if Jazlyn stays for dinner?" she asked, walking into the kitchen.
"Yeah that's fine, I'll call you when dinner is ready" we turned on our heels and headed upstairs. "Also your brother is here, he's in his old room"
"Let's say hey to my brother real quick" I gave her glance and followed behind her. We knocked on the door.
"Come in" we heard. She opened the door and he was on his bed shirtless. I was not expecting that.
"Aye you can't do that in here, mom is gonna smell it" Harlow said referring to him rolling up a blunt.
"And? What you want" he said, putting on his shirt when he noticed me.
"Damn just came to see you big bro" she said as they shared a laugh. "My bad, how you doin lil sis" she grabbed my hand and pulled me to them. It felt a little awkward to bombard their conversation.
"Anywho do you remember Jazlyn?" She asked. He gave me a good look before a smile appeared.
"Uh yeah, your childhood friend" he said "wassup Jaz"
"I gotta use the bathroom, you guys continue to chitchat" I gave a hard glare as she walked out. I just stood there as he continued to do what he was doing before.
"You can sit down" I took a seat at his chair, relaxing a little bit.
"I haven't seen you awhile"I spoke up.
"Yeah I know it's been a good minute, how have you been holding up?" He asked.
"Barely by a strand" he laughed.
"You wanna smoke with me before dinner" he asked standing up.
" In here, isn't your mom going to smell it" he shrugged his shoulders.
"We can sit on the roof unless you're scared " I mugged him and went over to open his window. He helped me climb out before joining me. I never smoked a day in my life, so this should be interesting.
"Can I be real with you?" He asked lighting it up. He took a couple of pulls before passing it to me. I raised it to my lips and inhaled. Instantly I coughed. He started laughing at me as I tried again.
"Wassup?" As we continued to pass it back and forth it took him a while to speak what was on his mind.
"I'm honestly surprised you're still friends with my sister after all these years" he said. I raised my eyebrow looking at him.
"Uh why do you say that?" He looked over at my serious face before shaking his head.
"I don't wanna put my business out there since I don't really know you like that anymore but this family is drama which is why i moved out when I was 16" I released the smoke taking in what he was saying.
"Why did you come back then?" I asked curiously. Before he could answer Harlow climbed out the window. "Y'all smoking without me" she said laughing taking a seat between us. I passed her the blunt and stared into the sky. Should I be concerned? ___________________________________
