Chris

"Hey Chris" Chantelle met me at my locker

"Wassup" I licked my lips

"You coming to my party next weekend?"

"I'll slip in and fuck wit' it" I shrugged

"That sounds nice, real nice" she ran her nail down my neck

"Mhm"

"Well, be sure to find me when you get there. I got something I wanna give you" she winked

"Why don't we go in the janitors closet and you give it to me now?" I smirked

"It's special, so you'll just have to-"

"Wait?" I squinted my eyes

"Yeah, but it'll be-"

"Worth it?" I finished her sentence again

"Yes, would you stop doing that" she chuckled, wrapping her arms around my neck

"I will when you stop acting like you don't give it up easy" I moved her arms

"That was only one time!" She lied

"Yeah whatever" I walked off, heading to my third block

"See you Friday"she called out

Everybody at the school knew that Chantelle was burnt. I ain't ready to die, I just wanted some head from her.

"You're late for the second time this week Christopher" Ms. Brooks annoying ass said

"My fault" I shrugged, sitting next to Heaven

She rolled her eyes at me and began teaching.

We got some more of the project done in class. Well she only did my half. I still had the same answers on my paper about her. Shy, nervous, and afraid.

"Aye, Chris" Keeis and Mario said as I sat at the lunch table

"Wassup. What y'all asses been doin'?" I opened my chips some girl got for me

"Boolin'." Mario shrugged

"What's brackin' witchu'?" Keeis chuckled

"Shiii' nun'." I shrugged, doing the same

"Y'all fuckin' wit' Chantelle thot ass party?" I asked

"I already know I'ma get some head so hell yeah" Keeis grinned

"I'm in that bitch like slim and fit" Mario dapped him up

"Ole' lame ass" I laughed

"That was original" he popped his collar

"Originally lame as fuck" I squinted, still laughing

I looked over where Keyona was and didn't see Heaven. That's weird, Keyona the only person Heaven talks to.

"Hol' up" I got up, walking over to Keyona

"Where Heaven at?"

"You not her nigga, don't be concerned" she scrunched her face up

"But I'm her friend, just like yo big mouth ass is. Now where she at?" I smacked my teeth

"I don't know. I'm waiting on her as you can see" she said in a obvious tone

"Could never stand yo ass" I walked off, into the hallway

I checked all of the first floor and couldn't find her, so I made my way up to the second floor. I checked the halls and eventually found her, with some nigga all in her face.

"I have to go" she told him, looking scared out of her mind

"Just come in the janitor's closet with me real quick" he cornered her in

"I said no" she jerked her hand away from him

"Don't be like that" he rubbed on her face

This nigga had to be bold and stupid.

"She said no. Now go find somewhere else to be bruh"

He turned around

"That's all you?" he asked

"Yeah. Don't let me catch you in her face again" I said

"You got it" he raised his hands in surrender and walked off

"T-Thank you so much" she said once he was gone

"That's what friends are for" I shrugged

"F-Friends?" she questioned

"You don't wanna be my friend, Heaven?" I chuckled and playfully pouted

"I-I can't be"

"Why not?"

"M-My dad doesn't approve of me being f-friends with b-boys" she got nervous

"He don't gotta know. So you my lil homie or what?"

"I guess" she said quietly

Now we getting somewhere.

"What does that mean?" she asked

"What does what mean?"

"That's all you" she quoted old dude

"Nun' major. Lunch almost over, but we can walk to class" I suggested

"I should go find Keyona"

"She know you wit' me now. She probably headed to her class by now" I said

"Oh...ok"

"Heaven I got a question" we walked down the steps

"Y-Yes?"

"Why you so...to yaself?"

"I-I don't know. It works for me" she shrugged

"Well now that we friends you gotta start opening up" I joked

"I can try" she said

Heaven

"Mama, I need to ask you something" I walked into the kitchen

My dad had to work over so this was me and my mom's free time.

"Sure sweetie" she wiped her hands on her apron

"There's this project we're doing in school, we each have a partner that we have to write a poem about. The project is based of how well you've examined your partner for a month. The teacher requested that we spend time with our partner inside and outside of school and-"

"I already know what you're gonna ask and the answer is no" she cut me off

"But mom this is for a grade. I only get to work with my partner -on that specific project- in that class and it isn't enough time. I need to meet with him outside of school" I explained

"Him?" She had a shocked expression on her face

"Y-Yes ma'am" I looked down

"That's a definite no. You're disrespecting your father's wishes" she shook her head

"I can't control everything that happens" I sighed

"Well he can, and I'm telling him to switch your classes when he gets home" she pursed her lips

"Mom please don't. I like that class" I started crying

She sighed and looked like she was in deep thought

"Fine. I'll tell him you took tutoring" she sighed

"Really?" My tears stopped

"Mhm. But you can only stay out after school for two hours" she explained

"Thank you so much, mama" I hugged her tightly

"You can only stay back on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays" she set the rules

"Ok. I promise to follow those rules." I nodded

"Now go to your room before he gets home. I'll bring you some food after he goes to sleep" she said

My dad didn't like sitting at the table, eating as a family. So my mama brought my food to me or me and her would sneak and eat dinner together, of course after he was sleep.

"Ok. I love you" I pecked her bruised cheek

"Love you too" she smiled
