Chapter 1

Arayanna An 18 year old girl with long black hair that reached the mid of her back, hazel eyes, and beautiful chocolate skin. She had a bangin body but wasn't a prissy chick. She was 5'3" and was the leader of the female portion of the Bloods. She was usually quiet but had a very short temper and would beat down even the craziest nigga.
Rashawnda An 18 year old girl with shoulder length wavy brown hair, gray eyes and blemish free light skin. She had a cute figure, was 5'7" and was Arayanna's God-sister. She was a down ass bitch for real. Her pretty face and girly ways made people believe she was soft and couldn't fight but she would slice a bitch real proper if they fucked with her and her people.
Alanna An 18 year old with a light complexion and clear brown eyes. She stood at 5'6" and had a nice body. She was also part of the Bloods with Rashawnda and Arayanna. She grew up with them so they were all like sisters. They had each others back through whatever. They all joined the gang the same year, although Arayanna was the first, and made a pact to stay friends.
Omari A 19 year old guy, the leader of the Bloods, and was sexy as hell. He was strong silent type, which made him very dangerous. He always got what he wanted, when he wanted it, and how he wanted it. He had a small inner circle and they didn't even know all his business.
Razz B An 18 year old guy who was part of the Blood and was in Omari's inner circle. He's mad sweet until you piss him off...then yo ass is fucked up.
Fizz An 18 year old guy who was part of the Bloods and was in Omari's inner circle. He's cool but he's also the type of nigga that have you thinking you got off the hook then shoot your ass a second later.
Jarell An 18 year old guy and Omari's cousin. He wasn't part of the gang but he had his cousin's back through whatever.

Arayanna and Omari were the leaders and because of this they worked close together and had a lot of responsibility. When anyone disrespected them or broke the code it was Arayanna's job to dispose of them. None of the Bloods were to converse with Crypts unless in conflict. If any member were caught in friendly terms with the Crypts they were sent to Arayanna who was usually told to kill them. If she was ever to do the same she was sent to Omari.

Each member had to wear some form of red every day as to represent their clique. None of the female Bloods were allowed to date outside of the gang members although the guys could date anyone they wanted as long as they weren't related to or part of the Crypts. While the guys could date whoever they wanted they weren't allowed to bring them to 'Blood functions' unless given permission from Arayanna.

It was Monday and Arayanna found herself getting ready for school. She looked through her top drawer for her undergarments while her body was wrapped in a towel. She picked out a pair of red bikini cut panties with a matching bra. She massaged her lotion into her skin then walked over to her closet and pulled out her red Baby Phat hooded velour dress with a pair of red and white Jordan's that looked cute on her tiny feet.

She walked into the kitchen and made her breakfast, which consisted of a warm buttery croissant smeared with jelly. She ate quickly then walked back into her room where she picked up a blade and slid it into her mouth and stapped her gun to her thigh. She picked up her keys, book bag, two-way and cell phone and proceeded to leave her apartment.

When she got to school she met up with her girls. Rashawnda had on a red spaghetti strapped shirt and a dark blue jean skirt with a pair of blue denim shoes. She had a red Gucci purse hanging on her shoulder and Arayanna knew that's where she kept her piece. Alanna was standing next to her in a pair of comfort fitting blue jeans, a large red shirt, and a pair of demin air mac plus'.

"Hey Yanna! How have you been?" Alanna asked.

"I've been good. What about you?" Arayanna asked.

"Been good. I only wish weekends were longer than two days," Alanna answered.

"What about you Rashawnda? How you been living?" Arayanna asked as they walked into the building.

"I'm good but I can't wait until graduation," Rashawnda replied.

The girls walked quietly in the school passing everyone without so much as a glance. You see all the guys wanted the girl and every girl in school hated on them but the girls knew the deal. They knew never to speak on it because they might find themselves in the hospital.

The first bell rung and the girls went their own way to their first period. Arayanna went to her AP spanish class and sat in the back. She opened her book and started writing her notes when her pager went off. She took her pager off the side of her notebook and read the page.

Yanna, get the crew and meet me on the court. We got a new female recruit. Be there at 12.
~Omari

Arayanna nodded to herself and was suddenly happy she wore a pair of lolly pops over her underwear. She sent the same message to Alanna, Rashawnda, Fizz, Razz B, and a few of the other Bloods in the school. After she sent the pages she closed her two-way and went back to copying her notes.

The day went by quick and Arayanna found herself at the court amidst a plethora of people wearing red. As she got closer a pathway was made for her to get through. A second later a black Escalade speeded from around the corner and stopped in front of them. Although the car stopped the rims kept spinning.

The door to the driver’s side opened and a guy exited. He was about 5’9”, had chocolate skin, beautiful brown eyes and pearly white teeth. He had his hair in long neat cornrows that zig zagged into a cute design and he wore a pair of claw shaped diamond studs in each ear. He wore a pair of black baggy fit Sean John jeans, a red wife beater that hugged his chest just right, a black Sean John jacket over the wife beater and his red and black Jordan’s. It was Omari and he was looking as fine as ever.

He walked over to the guys and gave them daps and gave the girls quick hugs but when he got to Arayanna he smiled, showing his pearly white teeth and enveloped her in a warm hug. It was then that a pretty chick that had three inches on Arayanna got out of the passenger side of the truck and walked over to Omari and Arayanna.

Omari turned to the girl and said, “Keisha, your initiation will be to fight Arayanna.”

Arayanna dropped her books and walked up to Keisha. Keisha stood there and looked at Arayanna as if she was a child who had no chance of beating her what so ever. Arayanna swung hard and punched Keisha in her face as hard as she could.

Blood spat out of Keisha’s mouth as the force of the hit jerked her head to the right. Keisha spat the blood out of her mouth and growled as she grabbed Arayanna’s hair and moved to punch her. Arayanna expected this and kneed her hard in the stomach knocking the wind out of the girl. The girl started gasping for air and Arayanna grabbed the girl's hair and held her head still and punched her harder and harder with each swing she took.

Keisha got desperate and pulled out her shank as soon as she was able to stand and was about to take a swing at her with the blade but Arayanna saw her when she took it out and flipped the blade that was in her mouth and spat it at the girl's neck. When Heisha felt the blade slice her skin she stopped for a moment giving Arayanna enough time to get her gun from her thigh. She cocked it and aimed it at Keisha's head and said, "Uh-uh bitch. I don't think so."

Keisha dropped the shank and moved to take the blade out of her neck. Arayanna lowered her gun and placed it back in its place on her thigh. Omari came up with two towels and threw them at Keisha and nodded at Arayanna. Arayanna cracked her fingers and waited to hear what Omari had to say.

"We have a meeting Saturday so be at the office at two. Don't be late," with that said he walked over to the driver's side of his truck and jumped in. He opened the door for Keisha and said, "Don't get your fucking blood on my seats," then sped out.

Arayanna turned and walked off with Rashawnda and Alanna next to her. They walked into the building and started talking.

"Do you think that girl is worthy of being trusted?" Rashawanda asked Arayanna and Alanna.

"I don't trust nobody who tries to slice my ass but we'll see how she works out. If she fucks up...well you know the drill," Arayanna answered.

The day went by uneventfully from there. Most people kept out of Arayanna's way and she liked it better that way. Arayanna was in her Trig class when two girls walked up to her. She sat back and waited with an arched eyebrow as they got closer.

"Um..Arayanna this is my cousin Olivia. She's new so please excuse her if she say or does the wrong thing," one girl replied.

Arayanna looked at the new girl and smiled when she noticed the absence of blue in her attire. "Aight. Y'all can go," Arayanna said dismissing the girls.

Omari is and has always been a wild card. He was young and powerful. He never hid the fact that he was a Blood and yet he never got arrested. You see Omari had a secret that even Jarell didn't know. He had a rich uncle who worked behind the scenes at a lot of important business' and knew some powerful people. Omari's uncle had a soft spot for him and kept him out of trouble.

Everybody knew that Omari was well connected so people tended to leave him alone. Though there were the occassional people who thought they had heart and could beat Omari, those brave few could be found at the grave yard on a 110th and Davis.

Omari didn't fully trust anyone so nobody knew where he lived, not even Jarell and that was his cousin. He had the best of everything and everybody who was anybody knew this. Most people would describe Omari as powerful, sexy, and heartless. Omari was the type to kill a nigga on his birthday in broad daylight then go kick it with that nigga sister. He was the leader of his pack and had been so since he was fourteen. And to tell you the truth he was good at it.

The last bell rang and Arayanna picked up her books and walked out the room and out of the building. She walked over to her car, hit the alarm and popped the lock. She opened the back door and threw her books in the back seat then walked over to the driver's side and drove back to her apartment and proceeded to do her homework then changed clothes and placed a new blade in her mouth.

She put on her black sweat pants and a red spaghetti strapped shirt and drove to the gym where she proceeded to work out for the next hour. People probably thought that being the leader of the female Bloods was easy but you had to stay in shape because when you have to control a group of people you have to let them know that you're the one in charge and that you can't be beat.

Sometimes that had to be shown because she was short and most of the girls were taller and bigger than her so she had to knock a few of them down to prove her point, which bought her to the subject of Keisha and the meeting Saturday. She was suddenly very interested in what would happen at the meeting.
