I felt like writing something today. Let's talk about my series Homegirls and Dopeboys. I came up with this idea for my own entertainment in 2007. The series doesn't really live up to it's name because the boys don't sell drugs but the name stuck. I had this idea of these cliques in high school. There are 18 girls and 18 boys. They are each split into cliques of four which totals to eight. I really can't find the words to describe the series. I first started working on season 3, I'm now on season 4, the first two didn't even get started/finished. I wanted to start my characters off in 10th grade but the story first starts in 8th grade. I just recently found an explaination for how Homegirls and Dopeboys got started. They were all at this summer camp (the summer before going into 9th grade), some of them were friends and some knew each other but not too well. One of the staff instructors was talking about how in high school they will run into certain cliques. The staff member even made a little game of it, he made them split into groups (eight cliques of boys and girls), they were chosen randomly. Then the staff member dared them to remain in these cliques for the whole of 9th grade. They were young and played along until it got serious throughout 9th grade and they honestly believed that they were stuck in their Homegirls and Dopeboys situation. As of recently some of the clique members have been leaving their cliques to join other cliques. Some members even died over this. What I really want to get into is the characters. Homegirls: Shaunie Rochell, Jah'ziya McDougle, Diamond Gaines, Anndretta Symone, Sasha Streeter, Tarinna Smyth, Monica Stepp, Shauwna Miller, Sierra Jones, Desirah Windshield, Kalimah Brown, Kayla Agee, Tionne Jackson, Sharelle Akins, Audrey Scott, Jessica Pain, Brittany Bell, Tianna Tillman, Chelesea Via (not an original member). Dopeboys: Jacques Williams, Tra-Nye Hill, Jordan Miles, Andre' Martin, Shane Anderson, Dahnte' Jefferson, Te'Von Johnson, Raequan Kelly, Anthony Bocchino, Darnel Holmes, Terrius and Tiyerra McLloyd (twins, not original members, Tiyerra is the first girl to be a Dopeboy), Darius Wilson, Julius Richardson, Marcus Telfair, Tyrell Pitcher, James Campbell, Malik Lamb, Charles Mitchell, Kenneth Daniels. The best part was coming up with the names :). I'm not going to talk about all the characters because it would take too long. These descriptions are mainly speaking on their friends, past/current relationships, and their situations.
Sasha Streeter: clique 1 moved to clique 4. Sasha was a very shy and innocent girl. Since 8th grade she has had a crush on Dahnte' but all the girls did. In 10th grade she dated Dahnte'. Her best friend at the time Shaunie stole Dahnte' from her. They moved passed it and later on she started dating Tra-Nye Hill. Sasha started becoming a fast girl when her and her friends decided to start working at a strip club. Soon Shaunie again stole Tra-Nye from her. Sasha and Shaunie had a fallout with each other and Sasha turned from clique 1 to clique 4. She is now enemies with clique 1.
Anndretta Symone: clique 1. Anndretta is the loud mouth one who voices her opinions. She dated Julius in 9th grade but no one hardly remembers them together. By the end of 9th grade she starts dating Marcus. Annie and Marcus's relationship experience some problems when she discovers that he has been sleeping (unwillingly) with his cousin. They remain together until season 4 when he comes back from Brooklyn and cheats on her then breaks it off with her. Annie goes through a depression phase and even tries to commit suicide until Shaunie comes to her rescue. Annie and Shaunie become closer as friends in season 4.
Shaunie Rochell: clique 1. Shaunie is the queen of the Homegirls. She's the girl that all the guys want to be with and all the girls envy. She is even know as a slut for all the guys she has dated. She has been best friends with Jah'ziya since 8th grade. In 8th grade she dated Darnel, but felt it was best to break up with him a few weeks later. Darius grows an attraction for Shaunie in 8th grade. It isn't until 9th grade that they started dating. Shaunie eventually breaks up with him a few weeks later. She then dated Shane. She was turned off by his personality and stopped dating after a few weeks. Later on that year she dated Anndretta's ex Julius who was her first long lasting boyfriend until 10th grade. She cheated on Julius while he was away with Dahnte' (the king of the Dopeboys). Shaunie was very much in love with Dahnte' and they remained the strongest couple until he cheated on her, which was the most explosive news in HG DB history. She then dated Jacques by the mid of 10th grade. When Jacques's feelings started to change she moved closer to her friends, Sasha's, boyfriend Tra-Nye. Tra-Nye eventually moved away by 11th grade (season 4). Shaunie is now exploring feelings that she may have with a female named Jaycee.
Tianna Tillmon: clique 4. Tianna was a quiet girl who was rarely mentioned in the series. There were rumours that she was raped by Marcus in 8th grade but the story is vague and Marcus denies it, every now and again someone brings it up. By 10th grade Jordan grows an attraction for Tianna but they never date. She meets Julius and they play basketball with each other. They start dating in 10th grade. Tianna eventually gets physically abused by Julius. Tyrell eventually gets involved and convinces Julius to get help over the summer. In 11th grade Tianna's whole personality changes. She starts acting fast and is the first member to venture out of a clique to befriend other clique members which causes clique 3 not to like this. She starts befriending Kayla from clique 3, which grows some "beef" between Tianna and Desirah and Kalimah (both from clique 3). Early in season 4 Tianna is murdered by Desirah.
Tarinna Smyth: clique 2 moved to clique 1. She has had a crush on Dahnte' in the past but didn't show much interest. She has tried to get in fights with Sasha who was dating Dahnte', earlier in 10th grade. Tarinna was the meanest of the HG and everyone was frighten of her. Her best friend was Monica. Tarinna was the head of clique 2. By 10th grade she starts dating Kenneth who was cheating on Kalimah with her. As time goes on she becomes more of a nicer person. Eventually Kenneth leaves her for her friend Monica. Later in 10th grade Tarinna gets raped while on a night walk with Shauwna, who gets away from a mystery van. In the first weeks of 11th grade Tarinna doesn't show up to school and is hardly ever mentioned in the series. She evntually comes back with a "punkier" attitude; black nailpolish, ripped jeans, and skateboard. She begins to grow an interest in Jah'ziya and they date early in season 4.
Dahnte' Jefferson: clique 2. He is the most attractive DB and most envied and loved. In 8th grade he was a cold and rude guy to everyone but his friends and mainly his best friend Anthony, who had a crush on Dahnte' for the longest. Dahnte' doesn't grow interest in girls and dating until he gets closer to Shaunie in 10th grade. He dates Sasha for a short while but was always not interested in her. Dahnte' first starts experiencing homosexual feelings when he first meets Darnel in 8th grade. At home Dahnte' is put in an awkward situation when his father comes back to live with his mother, with his new wife, daughter and Dahnte''s older sister. So now Dahnte' has to live with his mother, his father, his step mother, his two sisters, and his half sister which causes him to move out and live with Darnel when they start dating in the mid of 10th grade. Dahnte' and Darnel dating was the most explosive news in HG and DB history but it was soon looked as the norm because they made a cute couple overtime. Dahnte' is known for his constant cheating on Darnel even with his friend Anthony and Marcus from clique 3. At the end of 10th grade Darnel mysteriously becomes pregnant by experimental acts performed on him during a physical from a "doctor". This has everyone baffled and gaines Darnel his own MTV show. Cameras follow him and Dahnte' through 11th grade. Darnel and Dahnte' get engaged before all of this is discovered. Recently Dahnte' has been having "beef" with his other best friend Raequan, clique 2, who has intentions of splitting him and Darnel up (Darnel has cheated on Dahnte' with Raequan). Raequan is the first member to be kicked out of a clique in HG and DB history. Dahnte' can also be a hothead and vicious.
Charles Mitchell: cligue 4. Laid back and chill guy. He is known for being scary looking because he is brown skinned with dread locks and blue eyes. He is rarely mentioned in the series. He is also known for "turning a hoe into a housewife" when he officially started dating Sharelle who was known as a slut before dating him and turns into a good girl while dating him. In season 4 he gets drunk and sleeps with Sierra who gives him gonorhea (sorry if I spelled that wrong :)). It gets announced over school when Charles gets into a fight with Sierra to not tell Sharelle. Sharelle dumps Charles without hearing his side and proceeds to go back to her old ways.
Shane Anderson: clique 1. Another not too mentioned member until season 4. He dated Shaunie in 9th grade but no one hardly remembers. He once dated Desirah and Sharelle at the same time who are both from clique 3. By season 4 he has been single. He starts dating Jessica in 11th grade but has an affair on her with his math teacher Miss. Simmons. He gets jealous when he sees his basketball coach and her flirting. He goes over to her house one day to see his coach there too. Miss. Simmons gets fired and leaves town while Shane gets expelled from school.
Kenneth Daniels: clique 4. Kenneth is known as the silly and funny one. His best friend since 8th grade was James until they start dating unintentionally in 11th grade. Kenneth is known for taking Darnel's girl Kalimah in 10th grade and then dating Tarinna and then Monica. James wants to be with Monica but she wants to be with Kenneth which gets James mad. He goes to Kenneth's house to confront him and Kenneth has been inching away from this situation. James argues with and questions Kenneth which causes Kenneth to make a cocky remark to James. James shoves Kenneth but didn't expect for him to fall down the basement stairs. Ken winds up unconsious with a gash in his forehead (now a scar) and a broken leg which leaves him with a slight limp. Kenneth doesn't remember much when he comes to and him and James's friendship is put on pause until James comes back into Ken's life in the summer before 11th grade. Different kinds of feelings surface by the end of that summer and they start to date, Ken reluctant at first. Later on Kenneth becomes friends with Dahnte', they were never friends (Dahnte' punched Ken in the nose before to warn him to keep James away from his sister). Kenneth also gets raped by Jacques which causes James to round up Dahnte' and clique 2 to gang up on Jacques, which leaves him in a coma.
Darius Wilson: clique 3. A rarely mentioned member who was dumped by Shaunie in 9th grade. He started dating Desirah in 10th grade and is know for his relationship with her. He is not so much intuned with his other clique members, he kind of rides solo from them. In the first episodes of season 4 he has a small affair with Tianna who blackmails him to not dump her and she won't tell Desirah. This puts a ruffle in his relationship with Desirah. Darius has been fed up with his relationship with Desirah because of her attitude. He comes in the picture when his clique needs help trying to get into Marcus's head when he comes back from Brooklyn. After getting through his head Darius and Marcus end up having a mutual affair which angers and confuses their other clique members. Later on Marcus cheats on Darius with Dahnte'. Darius suspects this and finds out for sure after Marcus's basketball game which creates an explosive fight between Darius and Dahnte' in the locker room. Darius ends up unconsious for a few weeks. When he comes back to school he doesn't remember much, even his relationship with Marcus which makes Marcus glad because he wants to be just friends.
Well that's all I'm addressing for now. Hope I didn't confuse you or frighten you away with the story line, there is much more to be said but that could take almost forever.
Sasha Streeter: clique 1 moved to clique 4. Sasha was a very shy and innocent girl. Since 8th grade she has had a crush on Dahnte' but all the girls did. In 10th grade she dated Dahnte'.
