It seems like just yesterday; Cummings High School Homecoming night, October 6th, 2023, a day neither of us will ever forget. After the game, Jarrell and his colleagues decided to hit up a local spot, while Brooke, who usually spent her Friday nights at home, randomly called Shekitha to see if she wanted to get out for a few hours. Little did we know, that night would change our lives forever. Shekitha and Brooke arrived at Zone 32 early and were among the first to arrive. Later in the evening, the place started filling up, as they were hosting Cummings High School alumni. As the two of them sat in a corner, a group walked in, and being local to the area, Shekitha struck up a conversation with people she knew. A few moments later, a tall, dark-skinned man walked over to their seats. Shekitha introduced Brooke to Jarrell. Unknowing to each other, they discovered that Jarrell and Brooke had both worked at Alamance Community College years before, but had never crossed paths. Being the genetlman Jarrell is, he ordered drinks for the ladies, he and Brooke engaged in small talk. Since Brooke is a natural people person, she wasn’t shy about chatting. Jarrell, feeling bold, asked Brooke for her phone number and suggested they go out for chicken sometime. Yes, chicken. (Brooke had told him during their conversation that she doesn't eat beef or pork). Amused by the gesture, Brooke put her number in Jarrell's phone, labeled "Brooke Zone 32" and the rest, as they say, was history.
