Disappear

The next two months of summer went by faster than Chantel could think. She spent her days with Tiny and the crew.

They had become her best friends over the months. Now it was August, the first day of school.

Chantel dressed in her uniform. A black collard shirt and her khakis. She put her gold hoops in and slid on her black huaraches.

Her sister Cherise wasn't home yet from her job. Chantel had wondered what her new job was but never knew.

Tiny, Octavia, and Asia met Chantel outside her house. They walked to the bus stop. The bus that went to their school would pick them up.

"It smells like mad feet in this bitch." Asia shouted once they got into the cheese bus.

All four of them sat in the back. Most people were listening to music or sharing food. Chantel was surprised that they didn't pay attention to her weight.

"Hey Demetri!" Two twin girls said as Demetri and Lucas made their way on the bus.

"Wassup ladies." Demetri said causing them to giggle.

Chantel rolled her eyes. Demetri was only a sophomore and pulling more bitches than Lucas.

"Why they ain't say nothing to me?" Lucas whined as they sat in front of the girls.

"Because you mad disrespectful! I swear all you do is call women hoes and bitches." Demetri said texting some girls back on his phone.

"I am respectful. Right Chantel?" Lucas said.

Chantel shook her head, "Hell nah! The first time I turned you down, you called me a fat bitch."

"You keep bringing that up." Lucas said.

Chantel playfully rolled her eyes. Once they had gotten to school it was kids everywhere. The hormonal ones and the slow freshman.

"Look at all these small as freshman." Demetri said.

"Nigga you was just a freshman not to long ago." Lucas said.

"I'll see y'all at lunch." Demetri said walking off to class.

Chantel looked at her schedule. Seeing as she had all AP classes she sighed. She was already starting off with hella work.

"Any of y'all got AP classes?" She asked.

"Me! We only have gym together and english." Tiny said frowning.

Asia only had algebra and physics with Chantel. Octavia just had regular classes. Lucas had gym with the girls though.

With gym being their first period they walked to the basement together. After changing into the gym uniform they went into the gym.

All the girls had just gotten their weaves installed. Some of them were chill while others were loud and showing off for the boys.

Chantel felt very insecure in her gym clothes. The shorts were riding up her butt making it pop more and her cellulite showed.

Chantel heard laughing behind her. She knew some ghetto girl with stiff weave was talking about her.

Tiny was fed up about them bimbos talking about her friend.

"Y'all got a problem or something." Tiny said making the girls quiet.

They walked away. Tiny smirked knowing she scared them. They were probably some fast ass freshman.

"Can we skip this period?" Chantel asked seeing the gym teacher sleep.

"Girl I was just about to say that." Tiny said.

Both of them changed and left the building. Lucas was too busy flirting with girls to notice them gone.

Chantel and Tiny just walked around the streets chilling. Gym would be over in a hour and forty five minutes. They had plenty of time.

Chantel and Tiny walked into a unfamiliar neighborhood. Well it was unfamiliar to Chantel. But Tiny knew everyone they had passed on the streets.

"You want some candy?" Tiny asked wanting a small snack.

"Sure."

They walked to the nearest corner store. A group of men stood outside selling dope. But one of them stood out.

The lightest one of the group. Julian. Chantel hadn't heard from him in two months. And it honestly made her upset.

She was hopping they would chill again. But seeing as if he was a dealer had her head spinning.

So she acted as if she didn't see him. They kept walking into the store. Chantel even thought that Julian didn't see her. But he did.

After they had brought their stuff they left the store. Tiny and Chantel needed to head back to the school before the period ended.

"Chantel!" Julian yelled behind them.

"Just keep walking." Chantel whispered to Tiny.

"So you just gonna ignore me!" Julian said reaching for Chantel's hand.

When their hands touched Chantel felt sparks and heat move throughout her body. She immediately stopped.

Tiny knew this was a private conversation. She walked ahead out of ear shot.

"Ain't you supposed to be in school ma?" Julian asked.

"I thought we were supposed to hang out again." Chantel said.

Julian looked away from her eyes. "I was working."

"Yeah. Go ahead to selling and doing what you do. I gotta go Julian. It was nice seeing you." Chantel said leaving Julian in a daze.

It was the end of the day and Chantel had a good day at school. She met all types of people and got along with everyone she had classes with.

The crew walked outside of school. Only to have Julian's truck roll up. He honked the horn and Lucas and Demetri went to his car.

"Y'all want a ride too?" Julian asked mainly looking at Chantel.

Chantel knew she couldn't say no. So her and the girls got into the car.

Julian purposely dropped everyone off first and was only left with Chantel. She knew what he was doing. Stalling.

"Thanks for the ride." Chantel said about to open the car door only hear the locks click.

"Yo ass is staying in the car." Julian stated.

"Speak." Chantel demanded.

Julian smirked. He liked a woman that spoke with authority. And that's exactly what Chantel was doing. Turning him on.

"I own a business. But I'm going to college to get my degree." Julian told half the truth.

Chantel rolled her eyes. He didn't own no damn business except the drug business. Chantel didn't want to be with a drug dealer.

"You ain't gotta lie. I know you in the game. But best believe it's gonna come at you for revenge." Chantel said making Julian angry.

"I'm not gonna die out here in these streets. The streets love me."

"No they don't Julian. You either leave in cuffs or a body bag. And I wouldn't want you in a body bag." Chantel confessed.

"Look Chantel, I like you. Maybe we could do something with our relationship later on. But you can't come at me like that." Julian said with a clenched.

He hated being told how his future would end up. He already had enough of that when he lived with his mother.

"I'm being a good friend by telling you the truth. But you obviously didn't tell me the truth the first time we met, but I understand." Chantel said looking away from him.

"And I promise I'll tell you the truth from now on and that I won't leave you high and dry like last time." Julian said making some false promises.

Chantel knew not to trust guys like him. The sweet talkers and the cute ones. Julian was both.

"I'm not that easy Julian." Chantel said reaching over Julian and unlocking the doors.

Before Chantel could get out Julian held her wrist. He smashed his lips onto her tying to get a little kiss.

Chantel couldn't believe Julian was so bold. And they had just met. And he had taken her first kiss.

Chantel wanted more as her hormones rose higher just being in his presence. Julian knew he had an effect on her.

"No. We just met like two months ago. And if you really want a relationship you gotta work for it." She said wiping her lips.

Chantel had gotten out of the car and ran into the house. Julian sat back in his seat and laughed. Chantel was the first girl who had worked him to death.

But before Julian would call Chantel he needed to handle some business. He put his phone into his glove compartment and took out the burner phone. He went home and changed into his business attire and then left.

He needed to tend to his customers. At last Julian pulled up to his strip club he had, Twilight Gentleman's Club.

"Welcome back Mr. Draco." One of the boy guards greeted him by his street name, Draco.

Julian nodded his head and made his way to one of the tables. A white man sat across from Julian smoking a Cuban cigar.

A stripper shook her ass next to the man as he threw money in the air. Once the white man noticed the Boss he stopped.

"This sure is a nice club Draco!" He commented on the fancy club.

"Are you here to do business or look at my strippers? Cookie you can take a break." Julian said to the stripper.

Julian always treated the strippers with respect and made them feel safe when they were in the club. Each had their own body guard just in case one of the customers got too touchy.

Cookie went to the back. The white man was bald and kept smoking.

"I wanted to invest in this little night club." The white man, George said.

Julian arched his eyebrow, "And how might that be?"

"By adding an escort business. Right here in this club. It'd be a expansion to the place." George said.

Julian felt sick to his stomach. He didn't like doing business with guys like him. Julian didn't exploit women or pimp them out. It was just plain wrong.

"I'm sorry. But it seems like I won't be doing business with you." Julian said making his way to the back of the club.

Julian's burner phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, his friend Rico was calling. He answered.

"I think you should come to the spot boss." Rico said.

Julian could hear the screams of someone in the background. Probably the snake they found creeping in their drug game.

Julian made his way uptown. It was a good place to store the drugs. It was away from the junkies and the hood boys that wanted to take territory.

Julian's mood instantly turned deadly when he saw who was sitting in the middle of the floor. Diego, the snake.

Julian unbuttoned his blazer jacket and took it off. He rolled up his sleeves of his button down shirt.

"So you think you could just steal from me and try to snitch to the ops? Without me knowing? You got me fucked up! I got eyes everywhere!" He yelled.

At this point Julian was no longer Julian. But Draco his alter ego had replaced him conscious mind.

Whenever Draco came out somebody died. Julian had took the gun from Rico. Julian couldn't torture Diego tonight.

"See you in hell amigo." Julian said pulling the trigger three times.

After Julian came back to reality he adjusted his clothes and left the building. He had a night club and strip club to run.
