Read Breaking Hearts (B-Boy #2) for Free Online

amount of time I was stuck daydreaming, Jacob did his signature head spin and basically blew the roof off the building.
    Joe ran to the center of the circle, gripping the waistband of his impossibly baggy jeans. The sheen of sweat was still visible on his, face making it apparent that he was as affected by the performance as the rest of us. Gripping the microphone tightly, he turned to the judges. “I’m glad I’m not you! You guys have a hell of a decision to make. So what’ll it be?”
    “Spinja! Spinja! Spinja!”
    If I thought the crowd’s energy was crazy before, I hadn’t seen anything yet. Each head careened forward, waiting for the final decision.
    One by one the judges pointed toward Jacob, which caused the crowd to jump to their feet. Chaos broke out as people rushed the circle, all clamoring for their chance to congratulate the b-boy. In the midst of the commotion, I spotted Jacob reach out to shake Arrow’s hand. As I was admiring his good sportsmanship, I felt myself being shoved forward and nearly toppled over.
    “Hey! Watch it!” Anna yelled out when her five dollar bottle of water purchased at the concession stand was knocked out of her hand. She angrily pushed back a lock of her lilac hair and frowned. “What do you say we get out of here? This event’s basically over. There’ll just be a few stragglers trying to open up another cypher, and believe me, it’ll be pretty lame.”
    I glanced over my shoulder and spotted Jacob draping his arm across the shoulder of a really pretty Asian girl. Her almond shaped eyes beamed up in appreciation. It was ridiculous to even describe the amount of envy I felt and I was unwilling to subject myself to it anymore.
    “Yeah, let’s go,” I agreed, feeling my heart deflate a little.
    Hello, Thomas #2.
    We pushed our way through the crowd, dodging elbows and even flying feet! We were almost home free when we suddenly heard, “Anna!”
    I winced as I watched her turn around very slowly, as if she were plotting someone’s murder. In all honesty, she probably was.
    “Never thought I’d see your face around here. Surprised you had the balls.” Anna’s ex walked up to us along with the brunette we had seen him with earlier. He ran his hand through a thick mess of black hair and shot us a cocky looking grin. Actually, it was more of a sneer.
    “You disappoint me, Shawn. I would have thought you’d have figured out I’m not someone you can scare away.” Anna’s eyes scanned the poo-poo pants girl. “I see it didn’t take you long to find another skank. What happened to the first one?”
    “You bitch!” The brunette charged forward, but Shawn held her back with a laugh.
    “Calm down, Marla. She’s not worth it. Trust me. I would know. Why else do you think I dropped her?” The arrogant smile on his face grew wider.
    Though my friendship with Anna was still fairly new and didn’t have a high level of loyalty and protectiveness between us yet, there was still something about his creepy smile that made me want to pummel him into the ground. I don’t know what came over me, but I found myself snapping, “If you’re such a big shot, why weren’t you out there battling with the rest of the guys? Seems to me you’re just all talk for someone so egotistical.”
    As if noticing me for the first time, his gaze fell on my face in surprise. His teasing grin quickly transformed into a furious one. “What makes you think you can stand there and even talk to me?” He eyed me up and down with such distaste that it made goose bumps trickle up and down my arms. “From the looks of you, you’re just some wannabe Anna dragged in.”
    Before I could answer, Anna jumped into the conversation. “Why didn’t you battle? Did you finally realize your boyish moves can’t compete with these real men?”
    “My leg’s broken, if you must know.” There was a mischievous look in his eye that made me believe this conversation had taken a turn for the worse, if that was
