Since he's a man with slightly expensive taste, it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that Andre's closet consists mainly of designer shirts and pants; however, every now and then he'll switch it up and wear a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Dre also has a large sneaker collection, something that he's been building up since high school. When it comes to jewelry, Dre has never really been one to wear a bunch of expensive and flashy pieces; he'll usually just be seen with a nice watch, a pair of diamond studded earrings, and a couple of gold rings.

The small family resided in a two bedroom apartment in Queens for the first six years of Andre's life, and moved to a Brooklyn townhouse when he was seven. Growing up, Dre was very close to each of his family members, his younger sister especially. Andre had always been super protective of Chanel, and always made sure to be there for her whenever she needed him to be. The four rarely fought or had any major arguments, and even though they weren't the most fortunate family in the world, they always had a certain positive outlook on life that helped push them through even the hardest of times. Everything changed for the Martin siblings, however, when they suddenly lost both of their parents in a car accident at the ages of thirteen and fourteen. Dre and his sister immediately went into the care of their father's brother following the death of their parents; they'd been given two days to pack up their lives, say their goodbyes, and travel down to Florida where they would soon move into a gated community with their estranged, wealthy Uncle. It was basketball and the theatre that got Dre through such a rough period in his life. Although he was constantly smiling and goofing off when around his friends, it wasn't until after Junior year that he could say he was finally happy again. By his Senior year, Andre had grown to become one of King's Academy's star players; and although receiving multiple offers from colleges, the young man decided to commit to Florida A&M University so that he could stay close to his sister. There, he pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre; he would have used this as a back-up plan had he not been drafted into the NBA. Life changed drastically for Dre once he'd graduated college and begun his new career as a point guard for the Brooklyn Nets. He ended up moving back to his hometown, where he rented a condo down the street from his sister's place. And when money started to roll in, he made sure to give back to his community while also indulging in expensive cars, clothing, and even women. And it was only up from there; as the years went on, Andre continued to play ball and invest a good portion of his money in black-owned businesses, his sisters' included. As far as his love life went, Andre never really got into any serious relationships; most of the girls who showed any interest in him turned out to only be in it for his money. To say that Andre is excited about attending his high school reunion would be an understatement. Unlike a lot of people, Andre actually had the time of his life at King's and couldn't wait to see all of his old friends that he'd fallen out of touch with.

She was bossy as hell, and probably the most stubborn person I'd ever met, but all of that just made me like her even more. We were inseparable from eighth grade all the way up until Senior year when I finally stopped being a bitch and asked her out. We lasted until graduation, when we decided that it would be best to split since she was moving up north to go to college. She was the first girl that I ever really loved, and even now when I look back on it all, I sorta wish that we would've stayed in contact. And you know, back then I thought that we were gonna be together forever. Guess I was wrong, huh?"[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191001/719c451a3ce60f7159e961adcb94220d.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent][color=b1a29b][b]Alex Shields[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Alex and I have been friends since the very first basketball game we played together, and our friendship only grew stronger over time; I could always count on him to have my back no matter what. Out of all of the 'King's Men,' I'd definitely say that Alex is one of my close bros. We're still in contact today, but it's been a while since I've seen him in person... so I'm excited about that."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=808000][b]Brent Santiago-Walsh[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Brent is another one of the 'King's Men,' and one of the best bros I've ever had. He just has such an infectious energy that makes him fun to be around, and I can honestly say that I was often influenced by his positive vibes. We easily bonded over our love of sports; I even helped him drop some of his baby fat by including him in my weight training sessions and shit like that. We're still pretty close to this day; I make sure to visit him whenever I'm down in Florida to see my uncle."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191001/a5defe5413872fae2c9a24225ea6b65b.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent][color=8493ca][b]Caden Burke[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"I was cool with all of my fellow King's Men, Caden certainly not being an exception. Although we weren't as close as we were with the other bros, I did always see Caden as a good friend; it felt good seeing him cheer me on from the stands whenever we had a big basketball game. Although we haven't directly spoken to each other in a while, I make sure to keep up with him on social media, and I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with him at the reunion."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=bc4f29][b]Grayson Chambers[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"I was never really into all of the petty high school drama that went down at King's, so everything that happened between Grayson and all of those girls never really affected my relationship with him as much as it did others... To be fair, we never were that close to begin with. Grace sure got on my ass about still hanging with him. Our friendship was simple, and I liked that. We don't really talk much anymore... Hell, I haven't seen him since Alex's wedding... but it's nice to know that he's going to the reunion. Hopefully no one brings up anything that happened over a decade ago."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=Silver][b]Tessa Mendoza-Rosales[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Tessa was another good friend of mine, one that I happened to meet through Brent as well. The both of us had a hand in helping whip Brent into shape. Plus, we were both big into basketball and fitness so it wasn't hard for us to get along. We used to work out together all the time, and our one-on-one basketball games were pretty legendary. She was a tough opponent... kept me on my toes."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191001/0d20f98ad6955a3de8132fa763e84e35.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent][color=9D3DD0][b]Amanda Woodall-Cross[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"I remember being pretty close friends with Amanda at one point, but shit happens and we fell off a little after Senior year. But no matter what happened between us, I was still happy to hear that she went on to do big things. She always had that driven and ambitious personality that I admired."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=bbeefb][b]Jace Russo[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Jace was one of those guys who I ended up meeting through Brent and Alex, but never really clicked with. I mean, don't get me wrong... Jace seemed like a pretty cool cat. And I've hung around him a few times when I was with the rest of my boys. But for some reason our relationship never really grew as strong as it could have."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=pink][b]Allison Bentley-Song[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Ally was a cutie. I flirted with her a lot before I ended up dating Grace... It was never anything too serious, though. I honestly just kinda liked seeing her blush and stumble over her words whenever she tried to talk to me. Plus, she let me cheat off her whenever we had big math tests that I forgot to study for the night before. Shit really came in clutch."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=cyan][b]Teddy Gage[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"I only knew of Teddy because of his friendships with Grace, Brent, and Caden... We only ever spoke to each other a few times, so I guess you could say that we were acquaintances. He seemed like a pretty cool guy, we just didn't seem to have a whole lot in common."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191001/f6afd18c093c23686c41bda821b224f1.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent][color=217633][b]Tara O'Leary[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Yo, I'm not even gonna try and front like Tara didn't scare the shit out of me in high school. Like, son. Shorty really used to fight bitches for looking at her wrong and walk around wearing leather jackets in that scorching ass Florida weather like it was nothing. If that's not intimidating, I don't know what is."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=967391][b]Reina Barracano[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"I didn't know Reina like that, and I definitely never hit on her like I did a bunch of other girls. Don't get me wrong though, she was pretty fire. But I'd never do anything like that to my boy Caden. I know how he felt about her, so that chick was off limits for sure."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=db0a85][b]Camden Bensen[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Pretty girl. I probably flirted with her at some point, but that's about it. I'm like ninety percent sure that my sister watches her YouTube videos."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][color=9a503d][b]Willow Nicholson[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"She was a good friend of Grace's, I remember that much. I wonder if they're still as close as they were back then. After everything that happened between her and Grayson, I kind of kept my distance. Not that she did anything wrong... I just didn't want anything to do with the drama. She seemed like a sweet girl, though, and any friend of Grace's was cool in my book."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [center][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/191001/08e8bb93fce12eca419dbba631a57e53.png[/img][/center] [indent][indent][color=Silver][b]Name[/b][/color] [indent][indent][i]"Thoughts go here."[/i][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [/hider]
