Being a girl in a boy dominated world was difficult, not to mention being one of the six girls who were gang members, drug dealers, and a rapper in oklahoma. It just meant you had extra protection when going out.

jaylen is the 17 year old boy in one of the rival gangs. his gang and your gang had beef with each other at the time you two met.

he felt himself drawn to you, and he couldn't shake it. he always saw you walking with two other guys and a girl, so he never bothered to try and talk to you. plus, his gang wouldn't be too happy with him socializing with a rival gang.

months went by before jaylen seen you outside again. he had no clue what happened or that you weren't in your gang anymore. he was sitting on the steps of his gang's apartment building.

he waved at you, but you seemed to completely ignore him. jaylen just shrugged it off and continued to smoke the blunt he had.

a couple days later

jaylen was outside the fence of the apartment building with Jordan and Jeremiah when you walked by again. This time, absolutely no one was with you. Jordan spotted you before anyone did, so he decided to say something. "yo who is this walking down our block?!" he shouted with a small laugh, clearly trying to mess with you.

"yo, Jordan, don't. leave her alone," jaylen said quickly, grabbing jordan by the back of his hoodie. "oh cmon jay, I'm jus playing nigga, relaxxx" Jordan said back. jaylen's eyes were locked on you the whole time you were walking past them.
