"Annnnnnd there!" Eden says after putting her flat iron down and evaluating her now straightened hair.
"MIJA, your friends are here!" Eden's abuela says from the kitchen.
"Coming!" She grabs her book bag before going back to her mirror and checking herself out again. Eden wore black ripped jeans, white air forces, and a white and peach striped crop top. Her black hair flowed down to mid back.
"MIJA!"
"Estoy viniendo, abuela." Eden told her that she was coming and finally walking out of her room and towards the front door where two of her friends were waiting with my abuela for her.
Eden's mama and papa died in a car crash a few years ago so her siblings and her live with her abuela, tio and her prima.
Eden's friends Eres and Aiko were the ones waiting. Eres is a black, brown skin, girl with brown eyes, and very curly light brown hair she keeps in a low curly pony tail. Aiko is a Japanese girl with brown eyes and VERY straight black hair that's currently up in a tight pony tail.
"Hola abuela, Hola mis amigas." Eden smiled and waved.
From that she got a stern look a nod and a wave. What have the times come to. Anyway, after saying good bye to her abuela and convincing her to let me go even though she didn't eat her breakfast, they began their drive to the school. Lincoln High, home to the leopards.

Eden's POV
"Did you really JUST straighten your hair?" Eres asks me.
I looked over at her from the back seat, "how you know?"
"I don't know, maybe because it's smells like something is FUCKING BURNT."
"One of those days huh?" Aiko comments with a sly smile.
"It's the first day of Junior year, what were you expecting?"
I shrug, "Maybe a little more cheery-ness to see your best friends after going off to New Jersey the whole summer."
"I'm so fucking happy to see you guys." She says sarcastically, "was that well enough?"
Aiko sighs and shakes her head, "I'm happy to see you guys too."
"The feeling is mutual."
•••
We FINALLY arrive at the school and who do we see, the stereotypical bad boys of Lincoln high walking into the school. Eres rolls her eyes, "Look at those assholes, acting as if they own the school."
"Err... well-"
"Shut up Ai, I know. But still."
I smile, "let's just go and check things out."
"Why are you so damn positive?"
"Because this is the year I get over him." Aiko sighs while Eres bursts out laughing. "Alright, I'll let you think that." I pout.
"I will, you'll see!" I smile and lead the girls into the school.
•••
"What's wrong?"
"Yeah, I thought you said that you're over him."
"I-I am.. I just, he just, ughhhh. Why does he look so..... so good." I drool on Aiko's shoulder. Screw you currently unimportant ex-boyfriend. You're always there to bring me down.
"Hey I'd hate to put you down lower than you already are... but he has a girlfriend."
Now did those words pull me outta my daze. I put my hand out for her phone which she happily gave to me. You see the thing is after we broke up I blocked him and I can't just randomly unblock him and like all his sexy ass pictures so I use Eres' Instagram instead to investigate.
I tap on his most recent photo, 543 likes, over 54 comments. I look at the picture, he's standing there wearing swim trunks and sunglasses, but the sunglasses are slightly tilted down so you can see his gorgeous eyes. He's leaning on a short blonde with his arm on her shoulders. Her arm is wrapped around his waist.
"OH SHIT WTF ARE THOSE!!!"
"What are you talking about." I point to the picture.
"Oh her tits, yeah no way those are real."
I look down on my non existent boobs. "Hey don't worry bout those, all guys care about now are dem cheeks, and you definitely got those." I smile and look back at the picture.
Not only are her boobs big but, at least from this perspective, her ass looks huge! And her waist is so skinny. "There is no way I'm losing to a white girl."
Aiko hits me in the back of my head, "Don't be stupid, you're not her enemy. Yeah they may be dating but it's not like you guys are together or anything. You broke up at the end of the school year. You need to show him that you're ten times better than any of these hoes he's got. Alright!" I smile and nod.
"Yes ma'am!"
"Ooo, I have an idea." Eres whispers something in my ear.
And with that operation, make my ex jelly is a go!
