The Wrong Side of the Tracks ( Closed for Neko and Nightfreak.)

( closed for Neko and I )

Right down through the center of town is a set of railroad tracks that have not been used by a train in years. But now they have another use it's a boundary the blacks live on one side and the whites live on the other. Even in this day and age this type of segregation is going on. Not on purpose just in this town is filled with close minded people that cannot accept change. James Ritchey sat in the parking lot of the supermarket in his old pick up truck. Staring off across the tracks wondering when someone would do something to fix this backwoods town.*

James was on the senior in high school and on the football team. Standing about 6'3 with short blonde hair he was the perfect size for a defensive lineman. He was one of the few that was not afraid to cross the tracks like most of his football team. They all thought the same way about that imaginary line that ran through town. *Spacing out the truck door opens then slams. " Hey let's go man.. I got the beer for the party tonight" Marcus said with a smile. " Your folks farm is a perfect spot for a field party. Are you sure that they will be gone all weekend? " James looked at him and chuckled " Fuck yeah man I got the Bon fire ready to go. " James looked over at Marcus. Marcus was James oldest friend even though he was from the other side of the tracks James and Marcus always thought themselves as brothers. Skin color was never an issue between the two. Both of them actually hated how the town was still segregated.*

" You know James someday, someone is gonna rip up those tracks and this town may join the rest of the world instead of this bullshit boundary that runs through this town. " Marcus said clutching his fists. " I hope I'm around to watch it man... It will be funny to watch all of the old heads have to adjust to modern times. " James chuckled.*

James moved to town with his mother and father after living in the big city for years. His father moving the family to a farm on the outskirts of town so he could have his veterinary office there. *James always had Marcus over and never had any issues with his folks. They was cool with Marcus, James always thought his family was one that could see past the line through the center of town.*

Aniya Lynn.

"Damn train tracks. Can't even get decent service in this fuckin' town anymore."

"Really Yani?" Aniya said quietly, staring off into space at the sun, nearly setting right by the train tracks that separated the two colors of the town ever since...Forever. Her grandmother talked about it, her great grandmother, and her grandmother before that. She always rolled her eyes. She understood, but what could they do about it. They were the minorities in the situation. They would just throw them into jail.

"What? Just sayin'. I wish I could see my boyfriend. You are so lucky you get to go the Lincoln High! That's one of the most elite schools in the state. You should have been going, getting a better education for yourself. You know you are way too smart to be hanging out at the broke down high school. I just wish I had the opportunity." Her best friend, Yani told her quietly. Aniya nodded slowly, understanding.

"I wish you could go with me, and see your boyfriend." Aniya had a fortunate life-her dad had a promising job that kept him away from the family sometimes, but they had enough money to allow her to go to the private school, Lincoln High, across the tracks, where EVERYTHING was white. It scared her half to death, but her parents wanted her to have the best, and the best it was. She would be a senior, having turned 18 a few months ago. With her chocolate skin, big doe dark brown eyes and her thickness of her body, she knew she would stand out.

James pulled up into the long driveway to his families farm. " Fuck..." Marcus shouted slapping the dash of the truck. " What is it man." James looked over at him wondering what the hell was going on. " I need to go back to my house I have to go get a few things I stashed there for tonight. We need to head back to my place. " James looked at him " You can take the truck I'll stay here and ice everything down. Besides I wanna eat and grab a shower. Ya never know I may get a little something..something tonight. " James grinned. Marcus busted out laughing ," Keep on dreaming cuz and it may happen yet... You may not graduate a virgin yet." Marcus looked at James with a grin. " Fuck you...fuck you." is all James could say to him.*

James parked the truck in front of his house hopping out setting the beer by the front door. Leaving the truck running he looked at Marcus. " You wreck it... " James started to say before marcus cut him off. " You skin me alive... We go through this all the time man. " James looked at him with a smile as he went inside hunting something to eat before he would grab a shower. *Marcus left heading back to his house to grab some Gin and a few other things.*

On his way across the tracks he saw his cousin Yani *talking with one of her friends. He pulled the truck over right beside them and looked out the window. " Hey Cuz... Having a field party tonight you and your friend wanna come. Call your man and have him come out too. We have a bunch of the football team and cheerleaders and some of our friends over in the hood here are coming too. " he said with a smile.*

Yani sighed softly, staring at Aniya. Aniya looked back. "What?"

"You don't think they'll be very harsh on you, do you?" Yani asked, popping a bright green bubble from her mouth. Aniya couldn't help but laugh slightly, rolling her eyes playfully.

"Yani, they aren't gonna lynch me or anything. That's illegal. They can't even if they wanted to. They'll get arrested immediately." Aniya-Lynn said quietly, playing with a strand of her jet black corkscrewed hair. It went nearly down the middle of her back-the result of taking care of it for hours at a time. It was one of her prized posessions on her body, and she took good care of it.

Yani laughed, showing her white teeth. She looked just like the rest of her family. She wore pretty medium brown wavy hair that made her skin stand out. She was pretty to Aniya, and her boyfriend, Justin, who went to Lincoln high. It was a private relationship because of their races-the town would probably have a fit if they found out.

"I guess. Look, there's my cousin." she said quietly, pointing up the road. Sure enough, Marcus was rolling up the street, not in the usual small car he had, but the huge truck Aniya had seen around when she went to the North side of the tracks-aka, the white side. White houses, white cars, and especially white people. They rarely came to this side. However, she was kool with a select few, and Marcus had plenty of friends that didn't think having a darker skin tone was a big issue.

Aniya and Yani lifted they bodies from Yani's Corolla, walking towards the edge of the street.

" Hey Cuz... Having a field party tonight you and your friend wanna come. Call your man and have him come out too. We have a bunch of the football team and cheerleaders and some of our friends over in the hood here are coming too." Marcus said, his perfect white teeth shining in the sun. Yani shrugged, glancing at Aniya. She shrugged too, signalling she didn't have anything to do, and it didn't matter. Yani nodded.

"Sure, as long as we don't get shot." she said told him, half joking, walking towards the back of the truck, climbing in. Yani had a pair of capris and halter top, popping gum as she climbed in along with Aniya. Once in, Marcus pulled off once again.

Marcus chuckled, " Shot the only people that risk getting shot is people that fuck with my boy James friends. We are safe when it comes to that. Trust me James is cool he has been my boy for a long time. His parents are like my own. They are truly unique people in this shit hole town." Marcus through the truck into drive and cruised down to his house. Pulling in right in front he left it run as he hopped out. " Gotta get some party favors." Marcus said with a grin on his face. Running into the house he returned about 10 mins later with two brown bags under each arm. Setting the bags on the floorboard of the truck he looked in the back. " I got the gin...can't have a party without my Gin. " he said with a smile. Jumping back into the truck he took off going the back way to James house cutting out the hustle of down town. That way the cops don't stop the truck either. They loved to racial profile in this town and everyone knew it.*

Marcus pulled in front of James house right as he was walking out the door. James walked out to the truck his shirt draped over his left shoulder as he smiled at the two ladies in the back of his truck. " Hey more for the party.. Hope you two have fun tonight. I cannot wait to light off the bonfire and down some beer. " James said as he hopped Ito the passenger seat. " James you know my cuz right.? " James looked back " Yeah Yani right, yeah I have met her before a while ok." James smiled back at the two in his truck bed and leaned closer to Marcus whispering, " Who is that with her...?" James looked forward trying not to draw attention to himself. " That's Aniya she is Yani's friend. I hope you don't mind man. " James looked at Marcus and smiled, " Fuck no man...the more the merrier I always say...besides she is rather sexy. " James said. Marcus chuckled, " What makes you think she would give your ass the time of day. Besides last I checked you liked the white meat..." Marcus looked at him with a raised eyebrow. " Hey I never rule anything out... And you never know. She may enjoy the white meat." James said with a grin on his face. " Ok man I'll give that possibility... I may sprout wings and fly home. " Marcus grinned. *They pulled into the field where the Bon fire was gonna be and James got out.*

Walking over to a cooler he sat down his shirt and looked for his lighter in his pocket. " People should be here in the next 10-15 minutes. Then we can drink beer and watch this fire burn all night. It's gonna be a good night for a party. " James smiled as he looked at the wood stacked into a huge pile just for the party.*

"I sure hope you right, Marcus. I like my life as it is now," Yani said, jokingly, while Aniya sat in the back of the cab, giggling and shaking her head.

"You are too much. They wouldn't shoot us. I'm sure the hate isn't that strong here, Yani." She said quietly. Yani gave her classic, "are you kidding me?" look, which only made her laugh harder.

"Aniya, hunney, you haven't been living here long enough. Everything is still segregated here. It's like they missed the whole MLK era." She shook her head in disgust as the truck started to slow down, as they reached Marcus' house.

"Gotta get some party favors," he said, sending the girls both into a fit of laughter. Yani sighed.

"Hopefully I can see Josh around here. I sure do miss him. He's been grounded ever since they lost that petite game to the Crowleys-on our side." She added the side note with attitude. Aniya nodded slowly.

"It's sad they get in trouble for losing to black people around here. Isn't that pathetic. I bet you guys won't ever get to become married. Who'll let you?"

Yani waved her off, the slight wind making her hair become a mess on her head. " Love always finds a way. Just like you'll find someone for you-maybe even tonight." Yani winked, and Aniya couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend, or anybody for that matter, especially tonight. Love is for certain people only. I'm not one of them."

Yani was about to say something, when Marcus came back out, the classic brown paper bag in his hand. They didn't even have to ask-Marcus always had a certain type of liquor.

" I got the gin...can't have a party without my Gin. " he gave his million dollar smile-enough to make any girl melt. Yani nodded.

"Yea, we know, we ALL know." He laughed as they pulled off. They were going to cross the railroad tracks, into the white side of town, and Yani and Aniya did the classic procedure of laying down flat in the bed. The backroads or not, they didn't want to draw much attention to themselves.

They sat back up as they pulled up into James driveway, and Aniya couldn't help but blush slightly seeing James, his shirt off, showing each and everyone of his washboard abs. She averted her eyes, attempting to carry a conversation with Yani. Yani looked at her with a knowing eye.

"Yah, he fine, don't even have to tell me nothin'." She said softly, watching James out the corner of her eye. "He seems to like you too."

"Yani, he just saw me 30 seconds ago," Aniya brushed a strand of corkscrewed black hair from her face, "And who said I liked him?"

Yani hit her playfully, the wind in their hair. "Don't even play."

"I'm not." She replied slowly, rubbing her forearm. "Ouch much?"

Yani ignored her. "You want me to hook you guys up?"

"Um, no, Yani. I'd rather not. Besides, this is the northside. It's not that easy."

Yani simply shook her head as they pulled up to the field. "Mmm Hmm."

They both hopped out, pulling at their shorts-Yani have a light, short pair, while Aniya went a grey, stretching pair, hugging her huge derriere. It was a nice night, no need for jackets, and she let her light cardigan stay in the bed of the truck, letting her half sleeve shirt out, a bright pink, showing her tiny belly button ring.

Marcus looked at James then over his shoulder at Aniya. " *Damn that girl has a killer booty." Marcus said low enough for James to hear. " Oh I noticed. " James said as he watched the fire start to burn slowly. *" You know Cuz, you should go give it a shot... But you know what they say. " James cut him off, " Yeah... I know. I might talk to her a bit later and feel it out. " James said with a smile. " Mmhmmm your gonna catch that jungle fever." Marcus said sarcastically. " I have hung out with you since we was kids man. Have you ever know me to ever rule anything out. White, Black... Shit she could be neon fucking green. If we sparked I would tear dat ass up." Marcus looked at James with a grin. " That's what make you different.. Your sure your eyes are ok..." Marcus said busting out laughing. " My eyes are fine." James responded quickly. " She ain't neon green man she is a sexy black woman... You know I could see you with a Sista." Marcus said. *" I have thought that too man. But you know me I just enjoy everybody I'm the opposite of half of this town. *" James replied as the walked over to the truck.*

Lowering the tail gate of his truck he looked at the two ladies then too Marcus. " Nothing beats a good old bon fire. " James said walking over to the truck opening up the rear sliding window and the side windows. Plugging in his iPod cranking up the stereo in the truck. James walked back to the tailgate grabbing a beer. " Can I get you ladies a drink ?" James and Marcus leaned against the *tailgate as the music played. It was a broad mix of classic rock, blues , rap and some hard rock. The music was as diverse as James was. Something he took alot of pride being open minded. *

It felt good as hell outside, and the fire was gonna be perfect. Her and Yani both leaned against the side of the truck, watching as the guys talked.

Aniya sighed. "How many people are supposed to be coming to the party anyway?"

Yani shrugged. "I don't know. From what I heard from Marcus, its usually alot. What? You looking to find you a man?"

Aniya looked at her, rolling her eyes. "I don't want a boyfriend right now, Yani. Especiallly since I'm gonna be going to that new school like, in 3 days? I don't need anything adding to the already huge amount of stress."

Yani smacked her teeth. "Girl...you know what relieves stress? Gettin' some."

Aniya smacked her arm. "Stop it! I definitely not trying to do that either tonight. You know I don't have...that much...you know."

Yani giggled. "Oh yah I know. Thats why you need some! It helps everything."

"I'm sure, Yani. I'm just here to have good time."

Yani looked at her funny, but she finally nodded, and understood.


"Can I get you ladies a drink?"

Yani nodded, while Aniya shook her head. "Nah..I'm good. I don't drink." She heard the music, slightly rocking her hips to the beat.

" What can I get Ya Yani..?" James said with a smile on his face. His eyes wandering from hers to Aniya. Trying his best not to hide him watching her hips sway to the music. " I know what you will like." He says with a smile walking over to marcus having him mix a little Gin and juice. That was his thing not James's he was more of a beer man. Walking over to Yani he hands her red cup. " Here ya go Glad ya all could come." he said flashing his million dollar smile. Leaning on the bed of the truck he looked at Marcus then off into the treeline.

" When did you tell everyone to be here man...?" James looked at Marcus wondering if he forgot to tell everyone.

" They will be here Cuz give it a little time." Marcus said leaning over the truck bed on the other side opposite of James.

It was a few minutes later when about 5 pick up trucks and Suv's started down through the field. The James looked at Marcus , " Dude you had to invite her....Son of a bitch." Noticing one of the Suv's was one of the girls last year wanted to get with James so badly but she never took the hint... " Fuck man that bitch was all over me last year. I do not need this year being a repeat of last year. She is a fuckin scank." James said lowering his head.

" James I did not invite Sara... Someone else must have.." Marcus chuckled. " Just fuck her and maybe she will let you alone." Marcus grinned.

" I would not touch her with your dick let a known mine..." James growled back.

Yani took the red cup. "Thankyouverymuch." She said it in all one breath, making Aniya smirk softly, giggling.

"You are too much, you know that?" She said to her friend of 5 years. Yani brushed her off, taking a sip of the alcoholic drink, and sighed happily.

"Girl please. You love me to much to leave, right?" She took another sip. "You should get something. I know you trying to be all...goody and shit for those people, but you gotta let loose sometimes. You'd probably enjoy something uber-sweet anyway, and I'm pretty sure they got something for you."

Aniya shrugged. "Naw, girl. I don't know. I don't wanna go overboard or anything."

"Hell, as careful as you are, I'm sure you'll just loosen up a bit."

Aniya looked at her. "Whats that supposed to mean?"

"Look chika. I'll bet you 30 dollars that you won't get over there, have a few drinks and get out there and have some damn fun."

"Thirty dollars? Fine, Yani, you're on." They shook hands playfully, both giggling, and Aniya slowly walked up to James, shyly, tapping him on the shoulder.

"Hey... I was wondering, um...if I could, you know, try something?" She spoke softly, biting her lip afterwards.

James looked at Aniya as she talked she was so cute and nervous. He looked into her eyes and smiled as he wrapped his arm around her. *" What cha wanna try ? " he caught some of the conversation that Yani and Aniya was having. He gave he a smile and walked her over to one of the coolers he had packed. *" I can mix ya up something that will taste good and not knock ya on your ass...I can tell your not the drinkin type. But that's cool, I only drink once and a while. " James smiled at her as he made her a fuzzy navel. Putting everything back he handed her the glass. *" there's go, that will not fuck ya up but it will taste good. " his voice dropped to a whisper. " And it will make ya look like your drinking. Besides that is kinda on the weak side." James smiled at her as they walked back to the truck.*

James climbed up in the bed of his truck sitting on the wheel well. Watching Aniya and her drink giving her a flirtatious smile. James was a virgin but not many knew that. Most thought he was a player. But the truth was that James just never met anybody that he clicked with. He thought sex was something special. Totally opposite from the normal male teenager view. But that was James not the normal teenage male.*

But James knew one thing he wanted to know Aniya more.. She was sexy and seemed like a sweetheart. Plus having a ass that did not quit was a plus... James was always a assman.*

She couldn't help her self. She was flirting with him, his shirt still off, that ripple of abs making her bite her lip, wanting to touch them. She smiled as he placed his arm around her, making her giggle.

"What cha wanna try?" He asked, his voice making her tremble. It was deep, and memorizing as ever. She shrugged at him. She smiled back as they both walked towards the coolers, the different drinks making her head hurt, wondering how people could even tell the difference in them.

" I can mix ya up something that will taste good and not knock ya on your ass...I can tell your not the drinkin type. But that's cool, I only drink once and a while. "

She nodded at his words, licking her lips, watching as he mixed the drink for her. She had to admit, it looked good, and she could only think of what it tasted like. He handed her the glass, and she smelled it,sipping it nervously.

"There's go, that will not fuck ya up but it will taste good." It did taste good. It was sweet, and fruity-two of her favorite flavors. She smiled as his voice lowered, giggling at his words.

"Thanks," She said quietly, sipping the drink, not caring when the alcohol would kick in. They walked back to the truck, as he sat, she leaned against it, blushing softly from him smile.

"So, you uh..have parties often?" She...liked him. He was sweet, and funny and not to mention the fact that he seem into her too.

She had the sexiest smile and the cutest giggle James thought to himself. He looked into her eyes getting lost in them for a moment. " Yeah once every few months my parents go out of town on business and I normally have a small party. " he said with a smile. *James sat there as she leaned against his truck. He found it hard not to look at her breasts. But catching the occasional glance some how managing to look at her eyes. *

The party was in full swing people dancing close to the Bon fire. People making out in the beds of pick ups. Others just standing around drinking. It was turning out to be a great party.*

James noticed last years pain in the ass getting closer to him. *He looked at Aniya with a smile taking her hand. " Come and dance with me." he said. *Pulling her to the other side of the fire he wrapped his arms around her as they slow danced. He leaned down to her ear, " Thanks, I don't need that skank wanting to add me to her collection of guys she had. " Fully knowing why she wanted him. *Everyone in school knew about James being a virgin. Some made fun of him about it but when someone on the football team let it slip about James endowment he had a few of the school sluts wanting him. Craving to find out f it was all fact or fiction. But James wanted to wait for the right girl to come along. It was something that his parents told him. They was pretty cool about sex but they told him that it would be better when the right girl came along. *

As the two danced James looked into her eyes. His hands around her waist as they danced. He almost forgot his shirt was on the bed of the truck. James leaned in " I hope you don't mind me not wearing a shirt." *as he looked into her eyes he could smell her perfume.. It smelled so good she was a picture of beauty. As they slow danced her could feel his arousal starting to build he pulled his hips back. Hoping that she would not think he was a freak or just wanting to get into her panties. * *

"Yeah once every few months my parents go out of town on business and I normally have a small party."

She glanced back at him, nodding slowly, glancing around, trying to hint at her nervousness. People seemed to be having a good time. The alcohol seemed to make her calmer, happier, not so self conscious. "Sounds cool."

She saw Yani with her boyfriend, dancing close, as they met eyes, Yani gave her a thumbs up that Aniya couldn't help but laugh at. She turned back to him, smiling once again. He took her hand, surprising her, leading her to the area that people were dancing.

"Thanks, I don't need that skank wanting to add me to her collection of guys she had."

Aniya looked over her shoulder, saw some girl, and turned back, nodding slowly. "I understand." She giggled softly, loving how warm he felt. His shirt was still off, making her glance at every one of his muscles, making her bite her lip.

"I hope you don't mind me not wearing a shirt."

Aniya giggled,blushing softly. "No, I don't mind at all. Its a uh...nice view." She blushed deeper at his words and smiled softly. She sighed, leaning against him, her eyes slowly closing.

James held her close as they danced. He looked down into her eyes. She was a beautiful woman there was no doubt. He tried to be the gentleman keeping his big hands around her waist. Even though he wanted to drift south and feel that nice firm booty she had. James was lost in the moment as they danced closer. Hearing her have no objections of him being without his shirt. He smiled, feeling her breath and hair brushing over his chest. Only brought on his arousal even faster. James could feel his manhood snaking down his leg. He was rather gifted in that department especially for a white guy. James continued to dance with her hoping that she did not notice just how much he was attracted to her. *It was like he was off in his own little world with her in it.*

After about 4 songs James looked down into her eyes, " Wanna go get a drink? " he smiled. It had been a while since a girl peaked James interest like she did. He wanted to get to know her alot better. James was always one to take it slow... Sometimes way too slow maybe that is why he was still a virgin but James did not mind it.*

Aniya felt James' warm body against hers as they pressed against each other. The dancing was nice. She knew she was possibly falling so fast...but that didn't matter at the moment. They were just dancing, right? The night was still young. Who knows what was gonna happen next?

She blushed a bit as she saw his eyes. They were gorgeous. She always did like eyes. They could draw her into a person within first meeting them. And his eyes on a scale were one to ten...were at least an eight. She just felt so...right in his arms. They were big, rough, and made her feel safe.

The fourth song was a ballad, and after it had ended, she still managed to look at him,blushing a bit. "Wanna go get a drink?" She heard him say, and she nodded happily, biting her lip as she took his hand.

"Where to?"
