"Daddy, can I have this?" Ra's daughter, Rylee, asked, holding up a fruit cup.

"Yes, baby, don't spill it on yourself."

"I'm a big girl now, daddy." She looked at him, making him chuckle.

"You right, sweet girl." He continued smiling as she walked out of the room.

"This bitch didn't even say bye, ever since that day she ain't say shit to me. I apologized to that bitch multiple times." Blaire spoke out annoyed.

"She stopped fucking with you cause you were disrespecting her but you still disrespecting her so why would she?"

"I don't disrespect her to her damn face."

"Besides saying sorry, what else have you tried?" Ra asked sitting up. "Actually nigga when you start catching feelings for Brat?"

"Brah, I don't like Brat."

"Yes you do nigga." Ra chuckled. "You in here going through her social media and triple texting that girl."

"And what about you nigga? You in here stressed over Flaire."

"Cause I want Flaire and that's known my nigga."

"You want Flaire but you been in here down. Flaire lives 10 minutes away, Brat lives 3 hours away. You ain't trying to get her my nigga."

Ra didn't respond back as he thought about what Blair said, he was right. He wasn't applying enough pressure to show Flaire that he wanted her.

"You know where she at?"

"She started working at this clinic, she bout to get off in around 10 minutes."

"You'll watch Ry for me real quick?"

"Make it quick nigga, time is money."

"Shut the fuck up." He spoke going to put his slides on. "Aye Rylee?"

"Yes, daddy?" She spoke running from her room.

"Imma be right back, be good for uncle Blair."

"Okay, can you get ice cream while you out?"

"It's ice cream in the freezer, tell him to make you some."

"Okay, daddy."

Opening the door, he stopped seeing Mya was getting out of the car making him sigh. She walked towards him looking crazy, she still had two black eyes and a busted lip.

"What you doing here?" Ra asked before she could come within arms reach.

"I came to talk."

"I told you, I don't wanna talk no more. I told you my terms, either agree with them or go to jail."

"You love me Ramier, you'll never send me to jail."

"Let me get this through your head Shmya, I don't love you. You tried to kill me, I hate you. I hate that you're my child mother, I hate that I was ever with you. You continue to try to get me out of my character and make me someone I'll never be, I can never love you again. Either agree with my terms right here and right now or prepare to say your goodbyes."

"Ramier, she's all I have left." She started to cry as she thought about her daughter.

Ra and Mya have been in court constantly for the past three years fighting for joint custody but now he was asking for full custody without visitation. He was also asking for a restraining order so he wouldn't have to see her anymore.

"And you can still see your daughter once you earn it because I promise you, nobody gon bring her to visit you in jail."

"I'm so sorry Ramier, I'm so sorry." She started to cry jumping into his arms. "I love you so much, please don't make me choose. Please."

Blair hearing voices opened the door seeing Ra standing still as she wrapped her arms around him crying making him suck his teeth.

"Aye Ra, Flaire bout to get off work. You gotta go now or you gon miss her my boy."

"What's your choice, Mya?" Ra asked again.

"You can have full custody, please just let me tell her I love her."

"Rylee, come here!" He called out since the door was wide open.

She took a minute but she came to the door and smiled running into her mother's arms. Mya was a hot mess as they talked while Ra kept looking at his phone for the time.

"When will I see you again?" Rylee asked.

"Daddy will tell you, baby," Mya spoke rubbing her hair. "I love you so much, my girl. I love you more than anything in the world but it's time I get myself together baby."

"Don't go, mommy." Rylee started to cry making Blair roll his eyes sighing, he was over the drama.

Ra tilted his head and gave Blair a look as he continued looking at the scene.

"I don't want to but I have to, I can call you whenever or we can Facetime baby."

"Okay, mommy." They hugged one last time.

Mya rushed towards her car without looking back as Rylee ran into the house, he looked at his phone and sighed. Flair was going to have to wait, his daughter came first.

He walked back into the house seeing Rylee laid face down not moving making him sigh as he sat down.

"Why do I have to stay here?" She asked.

"You don't wanna stay with daddy? You don't like me anymore RyRy?" He asked pulling her to sit her on his lap.

"I miss my mommy." She frowned.

"Mommy is sick and she needs to get better before y'all can be together again, I promise you can call any time you start missing her."

"Am I sick now?" She asked with disgust present in her face making Ra start rolling.

"You funny as hell." He continued laughing. "It's not contagious mama, she'll get better than she continuing being the best mommy ever."

"Can I go to grandma house?"

"Let me call her and see what she doing."

"I'll pack my bag!" She yelled jumping off his lap to grab her bookbag as Ra pulled out his phone.

Regina, Aaliyah, and Brooke walked through the hallways looking and talking about people as they laughed. It was Regina's first day back and they couldn't wait to have her back to mess with people.

"Look at Haven, it looks like she needs help," Aaliyah spoke as she smacked everything out of Haven's hand while they laughed.

Regina stopped and bent down to help Haven as Haven, Aaliyah and Brooke looked shocked.

"What you doing Reg?" Brooke asked.

"She wasn't bothering nobody so it's no point in bothering her or anybody else for that matter."

Ezra helped her mindset change. She never liked being a bully but she liked the control she had over people because she didn't have control in her home life.

Looking back she was disgusted by her own actions.

"My bad for them," Regina spoke once Haven stood up.

"Thank you." Haven slightly smiled rushing from them.

She's being weird, Haven thought as she went into class.

"I got to see my counselor about these college applications and job opportunities, I'll catch up with y'all later," Reg spoke walking away from them as they looked at each other.

"She being really weird," Aaliyah spoke.

"You didn't hear? She's living with Ezra now, she fucking him on the low so if she wants to she has to be nice to Haven." Brooke said.

"I can't believe she is a side bitch to a nigga she's been messing with for years. Reg, not the same person obviously because she would never stoop to that level."

"It's time we get her back to reality, she's been MIA too long obviously. Next thing you know she gon be friends with all them forgetting that Flaire slapped the shit out of her a few weeks ago."

"Get the fuck out my way." Indigo pushed past Brooke and Aaliyah since they were in the middle of the hallway as Sevyn chuckled. "Walking in the middle of the hallway like y'all in a fucking movie or something, the fuck?"

"Cut it out, mama." Sevyn chuckled putting his arm over her shoulder.

"She won't be saying that shit once we ruin this little relationship." Brooke chuckled as they watched them go down the hallway.

"When them sisters gon realize they not on shit?"

"They're going to find out."

They walked into class seeing Haven was sitting there so they walked past dropping all her stuff making the book echo as it dropped. She didn't look at anybody as she went to pick her stuff up making them chuckle.

They loved bullying people, it made them feel better.

"Here you go." They heard making them look to see Regina was handing Haven the pen that slid under her desk.

They looked at each other and immediately rolled their eyes, Regina was really starting to annoy them and soon she wouldn't have any friends.

Keygan stood in his locker acting like he was looking for something but in reality he didn't feel like going to class right now. His physics class was having a test and he knew if he came late he would have to leave and he wanted that more right now.

"Do you have my journal?" He heard making him turn around to see Sapphire.

"Why would I have your shit?"

"Because I left it at your house before we broke up."

"Anything of yours is in the garbage."

"You're so hurt." She chuckled. "You cheated on me and I cheated better, why are you so upset?"

"Sapphire, I literally don't give a fuck." He chuckled. "I was in a relationship before you and Imma be in one after you. Do you think you are that impressionable to have me in my feelings? You can't even suck dick right which is crazy considering you got more gums in your mouth than teeth."

"Nah!" He heard Tyke laugh making him turn around to see Tyke, Maicee, Ezra, and Adonis.

"I can't suck dick but you, sure enough, can eat some pussy. You've had your mouth on every part of my body. You can say whatever you want but it doesn't take from the love you still feel for me."

"Sapphire, if we being honest I only ever got with you to get over Flaire." He chuckled being completely honest.

Flaire broke his heart when she finally broke up with him, he felt like his heart couldn't beat in his chest without her say so. He messed with plenty of girls but Sapphire entertained him the best so he stuck with her. He used Sapphire until he couldn't stand her anymore.

"You keep trying to hurt my feelings and I'm trying to spare yours. Get the fuck out my face."

"Stone cold killa." Tyke chuckled making Maicee laugh.

"Bitch, what you laughing for?" Sapphire asked.

"Don't say shit to her before I throw this bitch at ya head." Tyke spoke up before Maicee did. "Aim right for your bobble ass head."

"You think because this nigga faithful after playing you for five years y'all goals? I ain't never say it before but you look dumb."

"Girl-"

"Bitch, you done fucked too many niggas the STD fucking with ya brain." Tyke spoke. "I ain't letting my girl go back and forth with your punk ass, all you wanna do is argue. Bye Felicia."

Sapphire scoffed walking off, she felt like she didn't have anything else to say. Maicee was one of her best friends before she knew everything and she remembered all the times she came to cry on her shoulders.

Keygan shook his head glad she finally walked away, looking at her just annoyed her now.

"Next bitch I get gon be in college, I can't do this kid shit no more." He shook his head.

He was over all this drama, it annoyed the fuck out of him.

"What's wrong with you?" Flaire asked when he walked in the office.

"Nothing, why you ask that?" He asked lying.

"Keygan, remember who you talking to."

"You right." He chuckled. "You ever just felt above all this shit?"

"Lately, I have." She nodded. "The other day I bumped into this girl who used to go here and this first thing she asked was you still beating people up. That shit made me cringe."

"You growing up, Dream." He said calling her his nickname making her smile since she haven't heard it in a while. "I'm proud of you."

"I'm proud of you." She said making him furrow his eyebrows confused. "Six college offers and football season not even over? That's amazing. It's your dream come true."

"Who told you that?" He smiled.

"Your mom, I was over there the other day when you was at practice and we caught up on some things."

"Keygan, why you in here and not in physics?" Our senior advising counselor asked making him look towards her.

"She kicked me out because I was like two minutes late."

"Well, why were you late?"

"I couldn't find my physics book and I didn't feel like hearing her bitc- complain about that."

"Mhm." She folded her arms looking at Flaire. "Why you in here?"

"To give you these papers you wanted signed."

"Good, I'm so happy I don't have to hunt you down for these. You could go back to class, I'll be calling in five minutes to make sure you there."

"Can you make that ten? I have to go to the bathroom?" Flaire lied wanting to bullshit.

"Mhm, Keygan let's go." She said walking away.

"Aye Flaire?"

"Next week-"

"Our anniversary, I know." She nodded her head.

"Can I take you out?"

She squinted her eyes looking over Keygan, she was confused as she looked at him.

"I know you messing with dude man but this ain't me trying to get you back. I-" He stopped to look at her. "I just miss you Dream."

"I miss you too." Flaire admitted. "We can do something."

"Flaire, why you still here girl?" Ms.Collins walked back out. "You and Keygan act like y'all don't wanna graduate."

"I'm going now." Flaire rolled her eyes walking off.

Haven looked at the last girl for tryouts and sighed, she haven't been able to fill the one spot needed to keep her dance team at bay. She was so annoyed that she couldn't find her but she refused to settle.

She either had to give it her all or none at all.

"Haven we have until next week and we can't keep turning down girls."

"I know but Mai they aren't perfect."

"No ones perfect." Mai looked at her. "Look what you did with Summer, she couldn't dance a lick until you taught her. That's why we choose you as captain because you were the one pushing us to be better."

"You're right, I'm stressing myself out." Haven ran her hands through her hair.

"Maybe we can call back Stacy, Bisola and Claire. I liked different things about each of them."

"I like Jade, Haley and-"

"Am I late to tryouts?" They heard making them look up.

"You dance?" Maicee scrunched her face up looking at Regina.

"I've been in dance for quite a while, I've lost touch but I still can do something." She smiled throwing her bag to the floor as she stretched. "Can I still audition?"

Maicee and Haven looked at each other then back at her agreeing to let her audition. Regina told them the song she wanted to audition to as she started.

"She good Hay." Maicee mumbled to her.

Haven didn't want to admit it but she was doing better than anybody who auditioned so far.

Regina stopped posing as her song stopped breathing hard but feeling proud of herself nonetheless, she know she killed that choreography.

"So what y'all think?" Regina asked.

"We're doing callbacks tomorrow, we'll be calling by tonight. If you get called back prepare to dance tomorrow."

"Okay, got it." She smiled hurrying out the gym.

"What you think?" Maicee said.

"I think she did good, she'll fit in the team but you know Regina. She's a bully. Her dancing is fine but her personality isn't."

"I've heard she changed." Maicee shrugged. "We can call back everybody who peaked our interest, teach them one of our choreography and whoever we like on the team. We can pick more than one and become a dream team."

"I like that idea. Maybe we can teach them the new choreography we came up with."

"Yeah, can we go get some pizza now?"

"Girl, all you ever think about is food." Haven smiled rolling her eyes as they gathered they stuff. "Can we stop by the field so I can see if Ezra needs anything before I go?"

"Yeah, I believe their practice should be over by now anyway."

They grabbed their bags and everything, Haven wasn't sure if she should walk out with her biker shorts but she didn't feel like changing so she walked out. Her and Maicee was talking as they walked to the field getting their attention.

They saw their coach talking to them so they stood there waiting for them to be done.

"Hey Haven." She heard making her look up from her phone.

"Hey Adonis." She smiled making him smile as he took a step closer.

"I've heard you have a vacant spot on the team, I hope you fill it. I know how much you love dancing."

"Thank you Adonis, it means a lot."

"I was wondering, can I take you out Friday before the game?" He asked making Maicee smirk and tilt her head as Haven furrowed in confusion.

"I thought you knew I was with Ezra."

"You ain't his girl, right?" Don asked. "I'm just trying to show you I can be for you."

"I'm for her." Ezra spoke walking up with Sevyn, Keygan, and Tyke.

"You low as fuck." Keygan chuckled looking at Adonis.

"Not you shooting your shot after hearing how he was just talking about her in the locker room." Tyke jumped in.

"Ultimately, I wasn't talking to any of y'all niggas." Adonis spoke.

"Nigga, this my girl. Fuck wrong with you? She not messing with you or any nigga along as she fucking with me. Fuck outta here for shit turn into something it don't gotta be."

"On Piru." Tyke laughed as Adonis walked away.

"He just so fine." Maicee told Haven making her roll her eyes.

"That's your fault, you got these niggas going crazy because you got on these little ass fucking shorts." He said giving her a wedgie making her smack his hand over and over.

"Can you not?" She chuckled. "You annoying, are you coming over?"

"Yeah, Imma go home first. I'll meet you back over there."

"Okay, I'll see you there. Give me a kiss." She spoke reaching up so she can reach his lips as he went down.

"You spending a night with me?" Maicee asked.

"Nah, we could never fuck in peace." He spoke making her hit him. "A nigga could be bout to cum and somebody just got to interrupt. I ain't have pussy in like 2 weeks."

"You're lying." She rolled her eyes. "I can just sleep over there."

"Yessssir." He pumped his arm in the air. "Haven, you might wanna cancel dance practice. She might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"Ew Tykeem." Haven chuckled. "Call me when you're on your way so I know please."

"Got you baby." He kissed her forehead watching her walk away.

"You fucking Haven yet?" Tyke asked making Keygan and him look at him.

"You always asking some off the way shit." Keygan chuckled.

"It's none of ya fucking business."

"Oh, I know you ain't cause you been snapping on niggas." Tyke laughed. "Nigga stepped on your toe and you damn near took his head off. Boy said on Piru."

"Go head yo." Keygan laughed. "He definitely ain't getting no ass. He went from getting that shit anytime he want to waiting months."

"Bro, you ain't getting no ass either." Tyke started laughing even louder making Keygan look at him blankly.

"I meant to ask you was you good from earlier? I know you and Flaire shit coming up too." Ezra said.

"What is it? 12 years?" Tyke asked.

"11." He corrected. "I'm good, I asked her to celebrate it with me."

"And she agreed?" Ezra turned to face him shocked. "Flaire said she'll go out with you?"

"Boi, ain't no way boi." Tyke chuckled.

"I think you more hurt over Sapphire than you say you are, you going backwards bro." Ezra shook his head. "You forgetting why you and Flaire broke up?"

"I ain't ask for no lecture right now son." He said. "I know what I'm doing."

"I would hope so, for you and her sake. I love y'all together but I love y'all separate more because y'all not hurting each other. Y'all hurt each other, repeatedly and carelessly."

"You ever thought shit ain't- never mind brah." Keygan grabbed his bag.

"We your brothers." Tyke spoke getting serious seeing something was really wrong with him.

"I'm not having no heart to heart in the locker room." Keygan chuckled. "I don't wanna talk at all, Flaire and I gon be good. As always."

"That boy heartbroken as hell." Tyke laughed as Keygan walked away making Ezra shake his head.

One thing Ezra didn't need right now was added stress from Flaire and Keygan trying their relationship again.
