I decided to introduce this character since I took a notice he hasn't had his time to shine yet so let's get to it shall we?

Jays Pov

Sup. My names Jay as y'all already know and I'm more of the goofy one of the group. This school year I can already tell that it's going to be rough. Now from my view point, I can tell everyone has their own issues. Everyone is keeping secrets except for Yaz. At least I hope. But even I have my share of secrets that follow me. I'm not going to come right out and say it yet, but you guys should probably figure it out sooner or later.

Currently I was walking down in the crystal moonlight heading towards an apartment complex. I know it's odd to be walking alone at night especially to somewhere that I don't personally own, but in order to keep my secret only between me, this is how it's going to be. Besides I wasn't going to actually go into the apartment complex I just had to meet up with someone and then I'd be on my way.

As I reach the front of the apartment complex I haul to a stop putting my hands in my pocket getting a good observation of my surroundings I wait for my ride. Few minutes go by and I still don't see them. Groaning out of annoyance I was so close to sitting down until I heard a honk and headlights coming from the right of me.

"Finally," I breathed out. I wasn't trying to have anyone see me here and I was ready to go. The car pulled upright be side me and I quickly opened the door slamming shut giving a signal that I was ready to go.

"Don't forget to buckle up," They chuckled softly. Replying with a smile I nodded slightly. Next thing you know we were off to our next location.

Week later

Yazzy Pov

Because I'm such a hard worker I decided to treat myself to some good at the local caffe. Also inviting Andrew. We both were making a few jokes and also starring at the menu because we don't play about our food. After we both ordered the same thing, which was some wraps and a salad (we gotta stay healthy and it's a caffe so why not?), we began to talk.

"Bruh things aren't the same anymore," he said as I sipped on my sprite. I raised my eyebrows questioning as to what he meant. He sounded like he was trying to break up with me. But that would only mean we'd have to be dating, which we aren't.. I moved my hand signalinghim to continue as I took I sipped more on my drink.

"Just the whole crew you know," he said while leaning back in his chair,"We all used to be so close, but as time goes by I don't know what to think anymore."

Putting my drink down I say," Well what has got you thinking about this now?"

"Well I saw Keith and Jaquese together the other day-"

"Wait together?" I asked leaning over the table ready to hear some tea. Smacking his teeth he replied,"Not like that Yaz."

"Oh." Suddenly I wasn't as interested anymore, but I still was curious at the same as to why he felt this way.

"They've never been cool and they just seemed to get along so well."

"What's the big deal though? I get it you don't like him, but what did he do?" Look I understand Jaquese is annoying like I don't know what, but his dislike for him was on another level then mine. He rubbed his face as if this was the question he's been dreading to answer, but he had to know it would come out some how.

"look if I tell you this you can't get mad at me yaz.." he said slowly looking at my face for reaction. When he didn't receive one he just continued on," It all started back freshman year. (Authors note just so you guys know Andrew and his friends are a grade above Yaz and Harmony) We both didn't really know each other we've just heard about each other. And we'd both had join a gang that year including Keith who joined the same one as me.. those that we still attend.." my eyes widened at the point. I know we both grow up in not these neighborhood, but I just hoped he wouldn't turn out like the rest of the boys on the block. I didn't say anything just so he could finish.

"With that being said, both gangs don't like each other. And when one night we were on the block he approached me acting all tough saying he owned that street and I guess it was to prove to the rest of his gang he was worthy, so it led us into a fight. And ever since then we just grew to not like each other, not the best reason, but oh well. Besides he gives me bad vibes so when I saw him with Keith it was like a sign of betrayal."

When he was done ranting all I could do was think that my best friend was in a gang.

"I know your mad at me Yaz, but please don't. It's just temporary until me and my mom get back on our feet."

"I'm not mad just disappointed." I twisted my heart necklace that I had around my neck playing with it so I wouldn't have to look at him. He had gave me this for my birthday and I always wore it. I always wondered how he'd afford it, but my question has now been answered.

"I know..and I'm sorry. I won't keep something like that from you again ok?"

Andrews Pov

I pleaded with my eyes to her begging for forgiveness. Although I'm not truthful to Keith about harmony, my loyalty will always be with Yaz. I don't ever want to hurt her or see her hurt in general.

Lifting her chin up with my index finger our eyes connected and she finally responded.

"Ok, I understand you just trying to protect me,but don't do that again. For real." Smiling I promised her I wouldn't, which I vowed to do so. I'll always tell her everything. That is accept the Harmony situation..I just can't bring myself to tell Yaz because we aren't in any type of relationship and two it's just weird to say. We finished off our lunch with a few more conversations then heading out after a hour or so.

Trell

So as you guys may already know I'm Yaz's ex, but what you don't know is I'm related to Jaquese. I'm his older brother only by one year. Now you probably wondering where have I been? Well got into some trouble at home and my parents sent me a way to stay at my grandmas for 6months and now I'm back. As like everyone else in this story I have my secrets as well. All the way from Harmony to many other situations, but never mind that.

I had to go meet up with someone tonight and it already 11 pm. I've been well.. talking to his person for a while, which has been going on for about a week or so, but I'm not ready for the world to know yet. Not even Jaquese my baby brother. Sooner or later I'll reveal, but for now I got to keep it lowkey.
