She was 5'4'', golden brown complexion, 125lbs., brown hair/red highlights on the tips, and hazel green eyes. Da new girl at Valley Lee High School, every one always noticed the new comers, new students are easier to recruit in your clique. "Yo,so wut skool u from?", I asked. Turning to face me she said," South Jersey," wutz it 2 u anywayz cuz. "Oh, no da yuk didn't!", da broad broke ill with me. It's time for lunch I'm looking' at da clock counting down, 4-3-2 and right when I'm about 2 say 1 the bell ringz. So I got with my VL clique giving them da run down on SJ, when she starts 2 approach our table. "Slim dis here table is reserved only 4 my clique," I said rudely. She starred so hard it felt as if she had burnt a hole in my chest, after that stare I had to check myself, literally. "Look," she said," you recruited me da moment u asked me where I wuz from." "So ease up off my coat tail and let a gurl eat," she said.
I brushed wut she had said off with a "ha ha ha", For now on your real name is null void. Dis is where you will sit 4 da whole skool year. There are no recruits without running it by me first, we'll meet u at your house after skool 2 go over da rest of da rules dat all members of da clique live and die by. So if u're not down I suggest u say so right now be4 we go any further. She said," yo, u haven't said nothing but some wordz," and she sat down. We all embraced her as our new recruit and welcomed her 2 our clique, once u in there's no gettin' out. Be4 adding her to our clique there was 7 of us, now making it a definite 8 and there will be no more recruited.
After skool we all met in da hallway waiting 4 South Jersey girl 2 go over her house. She came down da hall smiling as she said," been waiting 4 long?", and then she said, "good dat's wut u get 4 holding me up at lunch!" "Shorty just lead they way as I walk beside u," I said. Notice how I said follow beside her cuz I can't afford 2 slip around her heck, she got more game than me but I won't let my clique know dis. So we get 2 her house, as we enter da house she yells," mom I'm home and I brought home some company," and her mother said,"okay honey tell them to come in and help themselves to whatever they would like for a refreshment." Wow! Dis was crazy a mother dis kool had 2 be 2 good 2 be true, dis is da mother our clique only dreamed of. Though it came to us as a shock for SJ 2 come off being so tough with a mother dis sweet, and her father was even better than her momz. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks was da ideal parents in a normal family environment and they gave her moral support no matter her choice of friends. Since da Jersey Girl first came to Valley Lee we've been friends even over da years, in fact the year we was blessed with our last clique member was da last time we recruited anyone.
