Okay, so hey y'all, this first chapter is going to be from a third-person POV but after this, the chapters will switch between different character's POVs, which will show how they feel about things and stuff that's going on with them that everyone else may or may not know about
"you so lucky you get to go to that preppy ass school I bet y'all lunch will be hitting." Cleo says, chilling in the passenger seat of Jace's army green Camero, "Man that's all ya big back having ass care about is food but that shit do be hitting, even though we got a whole sushi bar in the lunch room," Jace says as the two stop at a red light
"you should've come with me and Phill to seat pleasant We're missing you and you know you fuck with them snow bunnies anyway I know they'll be on your dick heavy even with your corny ass fits." Cleo says with a laugh, looking Jace up and down "Nah you and Phil should've come to Cedar Cove. Your smart Cleo, you could've gotten a scholarship." Jace says watching Cleo apply her lip gloss to her plump lips makes him bite his
"And I'm the best dressed at Cedar Cove; you already know you, the one with the trash ass." He says, taking a left turn, Yeah, whatever you know, I'm stepping," Cleo says with a smile as they look at her outfit. Yeah, I guess you got that shit on, but you're taking my hoodie in the back because why you got your chest all out? he asks, shaking his head.
"Ard, get out my car bum, and I'm not playing about the hoodie; you're giving that one back, yo," he says as they pull up to Cleo's school. "You know you're not getting it back. I love you. I'll see you after practice." She says grabbing his hoodie from the back seat."I love you too Cleo", he says, giving her a hug and smelling her fruity perfume while she smells the manly cologne she picked out
Making sure she gets into the building, Jace pulls off to Cedar Cove, thinking about his fling Amber Crystal sees this and starts to feel the irritation rise throughout her body
Cleo walks into Seat Pleasant High, ready for the season to start, and comes out of high school with a state and national championship Last year, the girls made state and won by a game, winning three made by no other than Cleo Jones but sadly, they didn't qualify for nationals anyway. Cleo is ready to put the team on her back and be that girl
skip a few hours into the school day
"Yo, Jace, are you busy after practice today?" Nick asks as they walk and sit down at a lunch table with the rest of the boys. "Yeah, I'm hanging out with Cleo today," he says, starting to eat his burger. "She is so fine, imma, get at that," Nick says, thinking about her features. "Yo, chill out." Jace doesn't like it when his friends talk about Cleo in that way since freshman year. "All of you have been saying that since freshman year, and nobody got close, so why am I even tripping?" Jace says, shrugging his shoulders. "Um, I got close; I got her number," Drew says with a smile on his face Jace always knew Cleo had a thing for white boys, so he knew he had to watch out for Drew. "Yeah, and you ain't doing shit and none of y'all are going to do shit, shes off limits, calm it," Jace says, taking a sip from his soda "Nah, one of us is going to have that on lock watch," Nick says, daping.

skip to when practice is over
Jace and Cleo go to the carryout, so as Jace likes to say, "Cleo doesn't get beat 1v1 on an empty stomach," they sit and eat in the car
"So how was practice?" Jace asks, breaking the silence Cleo has been quiet since she got in the car. "Practice went fine except for when we did the vote for caption," Cleo says, dipping her fries into her mombo sauce. "Aw sh*t, I'm sorry; they ain't vote for you, sis; they're just jealous." Jace says, shaking his head and feeling bad for her, "No, it's worse than not having a voting caption." She says, eating her fries, "What the hell happened then?" Jace asks with a tone that shows his worry and concern, turning in his seat and facing her
"Me and Crystal tied, and now we're co-captions, Jace." Cleo says it with irritation. "that's not that bad, Cleo I mean, you're still captain, so better than nothing, right girl." Jace asks, shrugging his shoulders, "I guess, but you know me and Crystal don't like each other. Jace, she's hated me since you and her stopped talking," which had nothing to do with Cleo.
"I mean, y'all gon have to sort it out then because y'all being on the team is one thing, but being co-captions is another." Jace says, starting to eat his wings and being messy like the slob he is. "I'm not sorting shit out. She got a made-up issue with me because yall don't speak no more She's a jealous ass bitch," Cleo says as Jace nods his head in agreement, chewing his food. "You eat like an animal, Jace Jesus." Cleo says taking a napkin and wiping the sauce and grease from around Jace's mouth leaning over the middle console to him
"its no reason in hell I should have to clean you like a baby" she says sitting back down and throwing the napkin out the window "Look don't let that shit ruin your season your the number one player in the nation with the best boy bestie that you could ask for just chill" Jace says with a smile finishing his platter and placing it In a bag "of course you gotta throw yourself in it" Cleo says with a laugh
Just a little disclaimer this is no hate to Crystal or Q I love them both but for the sake of the story Crystal a opp 🤷🏽♀️
