CHARACTERS

WILL UPDATE ACCORDINGLY BY ADDING NEW CHARACTERS AS THEY COME

NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND NICKNAMES ASSIGNED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT (andor GUILTY)

A

B

BELLA- We attend the same school. A mutual friend of ours endearingly refers to us as the “Black Blair Waldorf” and the “Black Serena Vanderwoodson,” from (one of my fave) television series, “Gossip Girl.” Bella has an impeccable style combined with a beautiful personality. Over the last two semesters, we have cultivated a friendship that I am confident will flourish with longevity. I have the utmost respect for her, and am very grateful to have her in my life (I have a huge girl crush on her{anybody would}).

C

CALI-The most significant ex in my dating history. Has a secret weapon I call Satan’s Smirk. Cali is whom mistakenly thought to be the love of my life. He is by far the biggest womanizer I have ever met; and therefore he is completely wrong for me, yet my heart yearned for him daily for years. One of my fake fiancés (SEE DICTIONARY), he is so hard to get over, I doubt I ever will—my least favorite mistake.

CANINE-Another first cousin to Gump, I met Gump and Canine on the same day; again, introduced by Preach. Canine is significant because he played a key role in helping me cause Gump as much undeserved pain as possible.

CHIQUITA-A manly man who I have had a MAJOR crush on for YEARS. Over time, he has become a regular FB although I would GLADLY become more than that, if every presented with the opportunity. He has the BIGGEST you-know-what that I have EVER seen outside of porn. An amazing person, he is funny; über sexy; confident; and just a blast to be around. I hope to remain friends forever, I cannot describe how cool and just how suave this man really is!

D

DUFUS- A fellow student, I have been dying for his attention for 3 years. I have no problem approaching men; but with him something was different, I could never bring myself to spit to him. I saw him outside of class a couple of times throughout the years; but his presence had a hold on me that made my mouth incapable of moving, so I would always just stare and daydream.

DYLLAN- One of my closest friends.  We have a mutual understanding of each other, even with the craziest ideas.  When I’m with Dyllan, I know that I am in a judgment-free zone, and I can count on a shoulder to lean on.  I am extremely thankful for our friendship, as I hold her very near and dear to my heart.

E

ELLE- An extremely, extremely close friend of mine. Half Italian and half Ethiopian, she understands the cultural differences myself and others face with growing up overseas. We also share a lot of similar ideals regarding the opposite sex. Both of our fathers passed away the same year which is prior to the buds of our friendship; however, we try to celebrate Father’s Day together every year as well as confide in each other about our lives quite frequently.

F

G

GRACE-One of my closest friends. We used to be side by side chewing the male species up and spitting them out without even recalling their names. Happily married and new mother, we remain super close and see each other every chance we get.

GUMP-A former boyfriend and fake fiancé (SEE DICTIONARY). Our relationship lasted around 7 years, and we remain good friends today. Our friendship took a couple of years to cultivate because our love affair caused pain for both of us; but we have moved beyond that, and now we converse on a daily basis maintaining a platonic friendship that I am surprisingly grateful for.

I

J

K

L

LAFLARE- My sister-in-law.  I am utterly grateful to have her in my life.  We are so similar and I am thankful that I now finally have the sister that I always dreamed of.  We do what I believe all sisters do, and we have the best of times. We have struggled together, and we have thrown away money together.  I know that I will always have her in my corner, and words cannot express what that means to me.

M

 

MARCELLO- A young 20something that is your typical wannabe rapper. I made a mistake with him that I can only laugh and shake my head about.

MR. PRINCIPLES- He looks just like a very famous, very sexy Southern rap artist. He is cocky and confident with a “you can’t tell me shit” type of attitude. A scam artist and con man, he has the gift of gab. Although he says the right things, sometimes he is also very assholey and confrontational; oh, and opinionated. But damn, he is SEX-Y!

O

P

PREACH-First cousin to Gump, I met Preach before I met Gump. A former friend of mine was into him, and that is how we ending up hanging out. He indirectly introduced me to Gump; and if I had never met Preach, I believe I would have never, ever, met Gump.

Q

R

ROBANGA- My sister. Always keeps it real. You know those people in your life that you could say ANYTHING to and they know you so well that they completely understand what you mean? Well, that’s her. Creative and hilarious, loyal.

S

SIREN-Has an extreme knack for getting WHATEVER she wants. Amazingly strong and admirable (in some ways). Confidently stylish and utterly captivating. The most selfish and self-entitled person I’ve ever met.

T

TWIN 1-A former co-worker that I connected with majorly on a friend level. Very stylish and always a great time. He is crazy and he owns it. He is blessed with an amazing sense of humor, and we can laugh for hours. Although I appreciate his swag, I would never cross any sexual boundaries with him because I like our friendship so much.

TWIN 2-Related to TWIN 1, on one extremely drunken evening (on a holiday, I cannot say which one in order to protect my pride), I had TWIN 1 call him and I proceeded to tell him how sexy I am; and since I would never touch his brother, he should come to where I’m at because I know what he looks like and I know he is sexy. Nothing substantial until recently, we keep dancing back and forth, but I smell something brewing.
