Dandre: Kevin, my man whats up
Kevin: nothing just thinking about Nicole, isnt she just gorgeous?
Dandre: dude your sister and Nicole are like best friends why dont you just
ask Jas to talk to her?
Kevin: because im a chicken to share info like this to my sister
Dandre: dude you two are twins yall shared a bed since yall were at least
ten!
Kevin: hey how do you know that? Oh wait I told you didnt I? oh well im
still a chicken
[Jasmine takes a seat near Dandre and starts talking with Kevin and
Dandre]
Jasmine: chicken about what?
Dandre: about telling you who he likes
Jasmine: awww Kev, why didnt you tell me? Wait is it that chick with the
braids or how about that girl with the glasses?
[Jasmine points at random girls in the class]

Kevin: Nicole
[Jasmine screams and starts overreacting]
Jasmine: OMIGOSH youre in love with my best friend why would you tell
Dre that before me? Im your twin we share everything, like that bed ever
since we were ten. Thats it im telling her.
Kevin: NOOOOOOOOO please dont I wanna tell her myself, cmon sis leave
this one for me please.
Jasmine: STOP! I know what he did was wrong and I know that you as my
bro is trying to stick up for me but this is my fight and you know what he
aint worth it because if he is gonna do something stupid like that than that
means hes a boy and all the other guys who wouldnt do something like
that are men, so just leave this pathetic thing to rot as a loner.
[Jasmine walks past Tianna]
Jasmine: you can have you pathetic friend now, im done with him.
Tianna: you know you are very stupid right?
[Jasmine turns around]
Jasmine: how?
Tianna: because youre giving up your first boyfriend just because he was
acting like he liked you when he really didnt.
Jasmine: shut the heck up Tianna ok first of all he wasnt my first boyfriend
he was my second and second of all you act like you know what happened
because you obviously dont.
Tianna: awww what happened to your first boyfriend he finally got glasses
to see that youre ugly? And yes I do know what happened
Jasmine: first of all youre the one whos ugly because youre the one that
wears make-up all the time and thats hiding the beauty GOD gave you.
Secondly he died, my first boyfriend died and I survived. And lastly, what
happened? cause I wanna hear this.
Tianna: you happened gosh if you just wouldve listened to me when we
were at the hospital none of this would have happened!
[Jasmine instantly smacks Tianna in the face and soon a teacher comes]

I really liked her well when we started hanging out frequently I began to like her
and develop feelings for her and she became part of my life but when Tyson
asked me if she really thinks I like her I said yea she does and I was about to say
but I think I like her too but she cut me off and she didnt get to hear everything.
[flashback over]

still be mad

her
