This is my first story and i hope yall like it.
“Man, I can’t believe this mutha f*cka!” Samiya said to herself as she slammed the door of her apartment. She went to her bedroom, buried her face in her pillow, and cried her heart out. As she cried, she thought about the events that had just taken place less than an hour ago. She had decided that since today was their two year anniversary, she would surprise her boyfriend, Darnell, by going to his apartment to cook him a romantic dinner. But when she got to his apartment, she found him there making love to another woman. And to make matters worse, the woman was one of Samiya’s classmates from cosmetology school. She was so shocked and angry, that she simply turned around and walked out. She got in her car and drove straight home. Now she was there crying into her pillow, feeling sorry for herself. Then she heard her phone ring. She tried to stop crying just long enough to answer it.
“Hello?”
“Hey girl!” her best friend, LaShonda, said.
“Hey.”
“U busy or on the phone or something?” LaShonda asked.
“Naw I’m just sitting here. Wass up?” Samiya said trying to hide her sadness.
“Wass wrong? U okay?” Lashonda asked sounding concerned.
“Nuthin. I’m cool. So wass up?” Samiya replied.
“Girl who u think u fooling? U musta forgot who u was talking to. Now tell me wass wrong.”
“Nuthin Shonda. I’m aight,” Samiya said with a little laugh. LaShonda can always make her laugh even when she’s not trying to.
“Whatever, Samiya. I’m on my way over there so u can tell me all about it, okay?”
“Aight. Bye.”
“Bye”
While waiting on LaShonda, Samiya decided to keep herself busy by retrieving the groceries she had just bought from her car (for the anniversary dinner) and putting them away. As soon as she was done, Her doorbell rang. She knew it was LaShonda cause she only lives three blocks away.
“Hey,” Samiya said as she let LaShonda in.
“Hey girl. Come on. Let’s talk . U need to get whatever’s bothering u off your chest quick, fast, and in a hurry.” LaShonda said as she made her way to the couch. Once she was seated comfortably, she looked at Samiya and asked, “Why u ain’t with Darnell? Today is yall’s anniversary, ain’t it?” Samiya sighed and began to tell her friend everything that had happened as she began to cry again.
“That bastard betta be glad I ain’t got no gun, cuz I’ll shoot his a$$!” LaShonda said after Samiya was done talking. “U can do betta than him anyway. I hope his d*ck fall off!”
“Shonda, u a fool,” Samiya laughed as she wiped away her tears. LaShonda always made her feel better when she was sad. She could call on LaShonda for anything and she was there with the quickness. They had been best friends since the sixth grade. They are now both twenty years old, working full time, and going to school part time. Samiya goes to cosmetology school night and LaShonda takes classes in accounting at a community college at night.
Since it was Friday night and they didn’t have classes, LaShonda decided to keep her friend company for the rest of the evening. They talked, laughed, ate pizza, and watched movies until LaShonda got ready to leave.
“Well I’m bout to head on back to the crib,” LaShonda said getting up from the couch.
“Aight. Let me walk to the door,” Samiya replied as he followed her friend.
“ Look, we going out tomorrow night okay?” LaShonda said as she stepped outside.
“Where we going? U know I don’t do clubs,” Samiya questioned, looking at LaShonda.
“Well u gonna do one tomoroow, and I’m not taking no for an answer. We gotta keep your mind off that punk-a$$ ex-boyfriend of yours.”
“Whatever. Look, thank u for being here for me and makin me feel betta.”
“Girl u know I always got your back. I’ma be here for u just like u always here for me. That’s what best friends do.”
“I know. I don’t know what I’d do without u.”
“Same here. I’ma call u tomorrow okay?”
“Aight.”
“I luv u, Samiya.”
“I luv u too. Bye.”
“Bye.”

“Marq! Man u still moping over that girl? U gotta get over it, dawg,” Jerome said, snapping Marques out of his daze.
“I know, man, I’m trying. But I still don’t get why she left me. I mean, she didn’t even say why, she just said she can’t do it no more so it’s over,” Marques stated sadly.
“Man u know females is crazy. They shoulda came with instructions or something,” said Jerome shaking his head.
“ I need to take my mind off it. U wanna play some ball?” Marques asked.
“Yeah. Maybe getting you’re a$$ whooped will make u feel betta,” Jerome joked.
“ Ha ha ha. Be fa real. Even when I’m depressed, u can’t whoop me n!gga,” Marq replied smiling.
Marques and Jerome played for a couple of hours, then they decided to go kick with their other homie, Kelton. Later that night after Marques retuned to his apartment, he decided to make a phone call.
“Hello?” a voice said after two rings.
“Hey Jazzy. U busy?” Marques asked.
“Marq, what do u want?” Jasmine asked with a slight attitude.
“I wanna know why u don’t wanna be with be no more.”
“Man, don’t start this again. I told u I need something different.”
“That don’t make no sense, though. U gotta have a reason. Did I do something wrong?”
“It don’t gotta make sense, Marq. U didn’t do nuthin. It’s not u, it’s me.”
“Aw man, not that bulsh*t,” Marques said, getting frustrated.
Look, I gotta go. Bye,” she said and hung up before Marques could protest.
“Sh*t!” he yelled in frustration as he threw himself onto his bed. He laid there in silence. About twenty minutes later, he was still laying on his bed when his phone rang. Not really wanting to talk to talk to anybody, he reluctantly panswered it on the third ring.
“Yeah?”
“Marq, man, u sleep? Wake your a$$ up,” Jerome yelled into the phone.
“I ain’t sleep. What u want?”
“Don’t make no plans for tomorrow night. We going clubbin.”
“I don’t want to.”
“I didn’t ask u if u wanted to. We going.”
“Hold up. Last time I checked, I was grown.
“Ask me if I care. Look, we going clubbin tomorrow night cuz u need to find u another chick to get your mind off that Jasmine trick.”
“Aight man. I don’t even feel like arguing tonight. Not after she hung up in my face.”
“Hell naw! U called her? Why? Marq, u getting soft, man.”
“Whatever. I don’t wanna hear it.”
“Anyway, we gonna hit the club tomorrow night, so don’t chicken out.”
“Aight man.”
“I’ll holla back at ya tomorrow. Cool?”
“Cool. Peace out Rome.”
“Peace.”
After he hung up the phone, Marques took a long hot shower, got into his bed, and watched tv until he fell asleep.
