Latrelle On My Block Novels & Stories

Lila would want to come even if our names were making the world go crazy. We met her in the sitting room, where the morning sun poured through tall windows. Lila stood next to the fireplace with her phone clenched in her hand. She had a pale face but was full of energy. She didn’t wait for greetings. “I just saw the trailer,” she said, her voice quick and sharp. “It’s everywhere. People are talking like we just set the entire city on fire.”

A solid, burning line of​ conta‍ct that ran from my hip to my knee. "So, Leon," Greta s​ai‍d, her v​oice dropping to a low hum. "I've heard the⁠ ru‍mo‌rs⁠ about B⁠erlin​. They‌ say you onc​e shut down a club just by s⁠tayi⁠ng until the⁠ staff gav⁠e⁠ up. Has this new chapter o‌f​ yours muffled the f‍ire?"

Seras drops from the shadows like she never sleeps. Noah and Brittany are “on a date” (translation: making out in his truck) and roll up five minutes later. We park two blocks from Bathhouse Row and walk the rest. The air under the city smells different tonight: sulfur, old gin, and gunpowder.

Kelvin didn’t have a face on his profile, so she had no expectations, but she couldn’t help typing another reply to him. LEILA: Are you short? KELVIN: What? Maybe she was more traumatized than she realized. LEILA: Forget I asked. Count me in. I’m in Total Gardens on Corey Street. The sad lady in a black dress, red lips, little makeup, hair down, waiting for her sexy prince charming to show up. Lol. You can easily hear the music playing down the street but if you don’t, hit me up for directions. Here’s my number. Call, don’t text.

You better take a cab' 'What about you?' 'It's okay. I will take a sub' 'But it's four blocks away.' 'I know a shortcut. Don't worry about me. You go ahead.' 'See you on Monday then. Bye' I took the shortcut aka alleyway. Even though it's New York, this alleyway looks deserted as if people know to avoid it. Alas, I'm not smart, because halfway there, three people were talking. Based on their looks, they seemed to be in some bike gang. Use your brain sometimes Erica

Cameron straightened, pulling back from Heath, into a more acceptable level of physical contact. “She’s late,” Rhett murmured as the cheerleaders approached with the she-wolves from Dawson. “Rhett,” Lillian struck a pose, tossing her blonde hair back in a shining bounce. “Patience is hanging for a cigarette. I told her that you’ll take her to where she can have a smoke.”

“They can be here a few minutes after we summon them, so please be ready.” *** Ten minutes later, we gather at the front gate and wait. The smell of ozone builds in the air, making the hairs on Bronx’s arms stand on edge. The wind swirls and the light of the portal grows. I turn my head for a second to avoid going blind. When I turn it back, four women are standing in front of us. Leticia is in faded jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt. Ayrelles is in her black tactical gear, Sun is in a simple shift dress, and Lena is in a cream-colored sweater dress.

T⁠he⁠ rest of⁠ h‍er life—the worn-in s⁠ofa, the b⁠ookshelves crammed with nov‍els,‍ the collecti‌on of strange rocks an⁠d seashell‌s—remained behind in the⁠ B‍rooklyn s‍tu‌dio, a lif‍e put on pause. Lena stood with her on the si‍dew‌alk,‌ a solid presence in the swi⁠r‌ling autumn wind. "Remember the‍ safe wo‌rd," Lena said, onl‌y half-joking. "If it gets too unbearable, you text me 'Vermeer‍,' and I'll call in a b‍omb thr‍eat or s⁠ome‍thing." A weak smile touched‍ Elara's lips. "I‍ think that might violate the 'no public scandals' c⁠lause of the contract."

"Are you still asleep? It is the first day of school, you do not want to be late, now do you? She asked with concern in her voice. "I am coming, mom!"

Her voice rang out again. *** It was a pleasant September day, bright and shiny with fresh summer beauty. The leaves were still fresh and green from the tall trees. The lawn still exuded a natural kind of green that told stories of nature's lovely touch. He stood in front of Darkota High School's building and thanked his lucky stars that he was on time.
