KAMARIA WOODS
SEPTEMBER 20th 2007
THURSDAY, 4:10 pm

KAMARIA LACED UP her fire red jordan threes that she had since her birthday, making sure they were nice and tight so that she could go ride her dirt bike with her older brother.

Recently, Aaron had gifted Samir with one of his own—the exact same blue and white one that both Kyaire and kamaria possessed. So now, instead of having to let him borrow hers she could ride with them.

Kyaire made her finish all of her homework, and now she was finally done. She wasn't wearing anything special, just some denim shorts and a blank black wife beater.

Of course she had her hair in her two puffs even though Kyaire nagged her about wearing a helmet. She wouldn't though, helmets made it too hot for her, and he couldn't be on her case when he didn't wear one himself.

The girl stood up in her easy access outfit she used her hands to fluff out her ponytails when her door opened. She shifted her attention to the door seeing her brother standing tall in the door frame.

"It's boutta rain." He spoke flatly watching her face fall. She had been working to do her homework as soon as she got home in order to get a chance and now it was about to rain.

Technically she could still ride her dirt bike, but her and rain didn't mix. Especially since it was a little humid out which meant the rain would be hot, she hated hot rain. Cold rain felt a little less worse.

"Got damn." She muttered flopping back on her bed making Kyaire laugh at her, standing there with a blue bag of salt and vinegar lays chips.

"Yeah damn. So moms is finna go to work, and slim over here. Trynna watch a movie in the living room or some shit?" He questioned his little sister.

"Uhh no... the hell." She muttered looking at him as if he had grown two heads, which was also what she was thinking as well.

Admittedly, for the last four days her and Samir hadn't been seeing eye to eye on a lot of things, and everybody had picked up on it. They argued over the smallest things, no matter what.

Kamaria could admit it was mostly her, but it was because she was bothered. For some reason he had picked up this nonchalant attitude with her ever since the kickback—or even before with the water park incident.

You would have to kill her for her to admit that she was bothered he wasn't showing he cared in any way, shape, or form. So when little arguments started amongst them it reassured her in a way he did care. Her logic was off, but she was still on to something.

"Fa what, I'm still trynna spend time even though we ain't finna ride our bikes right now." He countered her argument, a frown forming on his face.

"Ion feel like being bothered." She shrugged aimlessly immediately beginning to take her shoes off, she was about to get on the phone with Kourtney for hours, maybe even watch a movie.

"But you was just finna ride yo bike wit us though..." he trailed off calling her out on her bullshit. Kamaria seemingly pursed her lips almost tuning him out.

"Yeah but that's so different k3. Riding our bikes don't require for me to speak at all, a few words here and there at most. Watching a movie doesn't either, buts it's completely different." She expressed her frustrations.

Kyaire huffed closing her door behind him as his long legs carried him across her medium sized room in the matter of a few seconds. He took a seat on her bed all while she kept her eyes trained on him.

"Look, I know a lot of shit different in the time being right now. Ion know what the secret beef is between you and slim and I honestly don't wanna know cause I feel like it's some petty shit...on both ends." He went on to say.

"It's no typa of static between me and slim. Don't know where you got that shit from." Kamaria denied because in her eyes there wasn't. Now the two being petty towards each other was something different.

"So what it is then. Let me know. Like I been noticing the lil arguments and shit every ten minutes. I thought y'all talked it out and was cool, what's da deal?" He questioned genuinely confused. His bestfriend had told him they had swept everything under the rug so the behavior took him by surprise.

"I don't know, he's always picking shit with me. Why you interrogating me like it be me? Ask him." She tried to hold the aggression deep down remaining calm.

"Aight lil girl what ever." He muttered mushing her head not even bothering anymore as he stood up wiping his palms on his pants. "We gone be in the living room if you change yo mind." He told her with a shrug before leaving her room.

She sat there in silence staring at her room door for some time before standing to her feet walking across her room, and opening the door. She gulped walking towards the front of the house but through the living room.

She noticed her brothers lounged across the couches. Kyree had a party sized bag of original ruffles and Kyaire was drinking something from his cup with the remote in his other hand pressing play so that the DVD player could start the movie.

She rolled her eyes going towards the kitchen to pour her something to drink like she planned to do. Getting to the kitchen she immediately spotted Samir was leaning on the wall gripping onto the wall phone holding it to his ear with a girl in front of him watching him talk.

Her eyes almost bucked out of her head realizing he had a girl with him at her house, but she pursed her lips quickly shifting her eyes away so that she wouldn't be caught staring.

Samir huffed with the roll of an eye before looking at kamaria pulling the refrigerator door open. "Okay ma imma tell her, calm down." He spoke as if he was frustrated. "Lil bit." He spoke almost feeling as if his throat went dry just saying it.

The girl he was with snapped her head towards kamaria realizing he was talking to her. Truthfully she had heard a lot bout her on the way there when Kyaire and Samir picked her up, but they made her sound so much younger. So when she laid eyes on the girl she almost felt as if her stomach had dropped.

"Hmm." She uttered not bothering to look his way, instead reaching for a water bottle.

"My momma wanna talk to you." He held the phone away from his ear, not letting the look on Cayeton's face by pass him. He couldn't imagine what she was thinking at the moment.

Seemingly after hearing that Kamaria's whole face brightened as she closed the fridge almost scurrying over to the phone where the other two stood. Samir gulped, slowly passing her the phone to mari.

"Hello?" She questioned quickly bringing the phone to her ear.

Samir slowly licked over his lips keeping his eyes on her wondering what his mother would say to her. His mother tameeka had known the girl as long as he did. The only thing was she didn't live in st pete like them, she lived in Pinellas park which wasn't much of a distance, but it was the same city.

He watched her begin smiling, and cayeton watched her too. "I'm doing good, ma." She spoke now leaning on the wall to get comfortable. 

Kamaria eyes snapped to Samir and cayeton and Samir took that as a sign to get away which he had no problem with. "Come on Cay." He nodded his head away and she softly nodded saying nothing choosing to just follow him.

"Why you ain't been calling me lil girl. You gonna make me take that half hour drive up there?!" Tameeka almost yelled as she exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, I been so so busy with so much. School, cheer practice and games, and your son don't get me started on him." She rolled her eyes at the mear thought.

"Uh ohhh." Tameeka dragged out pulling her phone away from her ear before placing it back. "What he did? You want me to whoop his ass?" She offered making kamaria giggle. "No seriously though baby, tell me what's up."

Kamaria sighed not wanting to seem like a snitch. "Not nothing major. We made up last week with everything and we was cool, but then we got into a argument which led to more tiny arguments because of all the hostility. It's not nothing I can't handle though." She opened up to her.

Tameeka knew first hand about every detail concerning why he was in the juvenile detention center, and she also knew exactly why kamaria held on to the burden of thinking it was her fault for so long. So she could decipher why they didn't see eye to eye at the moment.

"Girl, you and that boy is something else I tell you. You don't think maybe that it's normal for y'all to be fighting, it's not like y'all didn't fuss when y'all were kids." Tameeka countered.

Kamaria purse her lips making her deep dimples sink into her face. "Yeah, but we older now, that's childish now." She argued. She understood when she was thirteen because they were still little kids, but the constant arguing now had rooted from something and she knew it.

"Yeah but maybe that's just the dynamic that y'all have built for y'all relationship. You know I used to think he had a little crush on you." She tittered, making kamaria smack her teeth.

"Here you go." She shook her head. "Ion even know why I seem to engage in conversation with you all the time when you always bring that up." She laughed while heartedly.

"You know it's true."

"Maybe, I was way to young to decipher that behavior and what it meant. I do know that right now he has a girl here with him so you can't use that." Kamaria ran her tongue over her bottom lip.

She heard her smack her teeth like she was mad. Tameeka and even her mother reminded her of two teenagers when she talked about stuff with them. They were very mature at times though, like the fact that Simone was in a relationship with her baby father, but there was no bad blood.

Only because tameeka never saw herself being with Aaron, they were never even together. She didn't believe that children should seal a relationship. So even though she got pregnant and had Samir, she made it awfully clear that she wanted no relations with Aaron. They had been co-parenting samirs whole life.

"You know I can't stand your stubborn ass little girl. You supposed to be my daughter in law." She rolled her eyes. Tameeka had been pushing the topic for years, but kamaria always topped it off to her being a little crazy or something.

Samir didn't see her as anything but a sister, if even that at this point. "Well this ain't Burger King and you can't always have it your way, love." Kamaria smirked.

She quickly furrowed her eyebrows hearing breathing on the phone. "oh my gosh! Who ever is on the phone get off!" She groaned with a frown. She heard them hang up and she shook her head.

"Okay baby girl I just wanted to talk with you, I'll talk to you later. But don't forget to call me girl ." She said making kamaria nod.

"Okay I will. Imma call you everytime your son make me mad so you can be adding up how many whoopings he need." She joked and tameeka laughed. They hung up and kamaria softly slammed the phone on the wall grabbing her water.

She made and exit from the kitchen walking through the living room. "What she said?" Samir immediately asked her making her hault.

Kamaria smirked turning to face the four individuals in the couches, she knew one of them had gotten on the phone and it was probably him. "She said if you keep fucking with me she gone whoop your ass." She admitted with a nod.

Kyree bursted out into laughter while Samir smacked his teeth. "I can't stand yo snitching ass, bye lil girl." He waved her off wanting her to continue on her way.

"You asked," she shrugged.

"K3 you not gone introduce me to your sister?" Cayeton spoke looking over at Kyaire.

Kyaire finally tore his eyes from the tv with a slight laugh at her. "You ain't here for me, ion know you like dat." He shrugged being truthful.

True it was his sister, but Cayeton was there for slim so if he wanted to introduce anybody to Cayeton that was on him, not Kyaire.

Slim smacked his teeth, "Cayeton this lil bit, lil bit this Cayeton. We talked for a little bit when I was in juvie ." He spoke truthfully.

"Do you have a real name?" Cayeton refused to call her that even though almost everybody else did.

"Just call me mari." Kamaria answered her letting it go right over her head. She didn't have time, "yeah I'm going back in my room, bye." She spoke scratching her head walking away.

Getting back in her room she closed the door behind her. She went and flopped on her bed, putting the water bottle on her night stand. She immediately picked up her phone dialing Kourtneys number, in which she knew by heart.

It rung four times before Kourtney answered. "Hey hoe." She spoke simply on the other line laying on her stomach. Kourtney already knew it was kamaria since she was the only one who called her line besides Taraji and dontrell.

Taraji was busy, and dontrell and her were arguing right now.

"Girl what if I was your mother." Kamaria snickered making Kourtney laugh at her friend.

"Girl I know you wasn't my damn mama. So what you doin thot." She continued and kamaria heard her suck on something.

"I'm laying down, fuck you doing though." She countered getting comfortable. "Sound like you sucking something, ouuu you betta not be sucking dick on the phone with me." Kamaria's jaw dropped even though she was playing.

"Girl shut the hell up it's a blow pop." Kourtney bursted out into laughter making kamaria laugh too. "But naw, ian on shit right now. Saint out, my dukes at work. Dontrell a ain't shit ass nigga, and it's raining so I can't go out." She explained.

"Sound like you got the shits goin on boo." Kamaria teased her. "What trell did now, I thought you was finna tighten up." She questioned.

"Girl we was out at the mall in the damn food court. You know it was after six so everybody was there hanging out and shit you know how that shit go. But his pager was going off nonstop and he wouldn't step away to call who ever it was." She explained.

"Next thing you know, I'm eating a damn corn dog and this trashy ass bitch come up to her with her friend who look like a she-man cussing him clean the fuck out because he was ignoring her and I was like oh hell nah." She said making kamaria gasp.

"No the fuck he didn't..."

"Bitch yes he did. But I'm not gonna lie I just stood there and let her do her shit. When she addressed me, I told her I was just his friend and walked the fuck away and caught the bus home. One thing bout it, I let a lot of shit go over my head but ian dumb enough to argue over a nigga. I'm not the confused one, he is." Kourtney shrugged as if her friend could see her.

"I know that's right girl. And what you need to do is get a new nigga and stunt on him. He sleep on you boo." Kamaria advised her.

"He sure is, but imma show him that hoe I grew up on trina. His ass don't even know. I was trynna be the good girlfriend and stuff but it just ain't me. I gotta show him who the fuck kourtney really is." She went on while kamaria smirked proudly.

"Now you talkin girl. Show that nigga what's really up." She encouraged her.

"Oh trust me I am. He got life all the way fucked up." Kourtney spoke as she pulled the lollipop out her mouth. "Anyway girl what you got goin on over there?" She questioned.

Kamaria huffed, "not a damn thing. I was finna go ride my dirt bike but now it's raining so my brothers, slim, and his chick in the living room watching a movie." She disclosed.

"Girl his what?" Kourtney bursted out laughing.

Kamaria giggled. "His chick." She tittered finding it hilarious. She didn't even use that word for real. "That's what she remind me of, a lil chicken head." She joked even more.

"Whew, if anything you sound a lil jealous friend." Kourtney teased. Kamaria rolled her eyes.

"I'm not jealous of nobody dealing with slim. If I was to do anything I would pray for the girl, that nigga got more mood swings then a mufucka, and he just got out of juvie a few weeks ago. I couldn't even see him being loyal right now." She expressed.

"You still sound a little jealous. Aye though ain't no shame, do yo thing." Kourtney shrugged.

"I'm not. And if I was to be jealous it wouldn't be over her. She a very pretty girl but I look better anyway." Kamaria shrugged as well.

"Ouu love the confidence baby. Don't let nobody tell you different, cause you fine as wine." Kourtney snapped her fingers. "Girl Hollon Taraji on the other line, I'm finna merge it." Kourtney said before it got quiet.

"Hello?"

"Hey girl, you on a three way with me and kamaria." Kourtney told her before they heard a long deep sigh.

"Hey y'all, I'm just so frustrated right now. This nigga got me so fucking fucked up right now." She immediately started almost shocking them.

"Who, the boy from the water park? He got you fucked up already sista?" Kourtney questioned.

"Right."

"Hell yeah him. Like I've never know a ain't shit ass Nigga to show they true colors so soon. He should be fucking embarrassed of himself." She went on aggressively.

"Break it down, what happened." Kamaria spoke, she loved gossip just as long as it wasn't about her.

"Okay, so you know he only like 21. He got his own car and shit like that so he fucking picked me up and his brother that was trynna holla at mari was in the car." She said making kamarias heart drop.

She tried to forget about him after the small ruckus he caused between her and Samir but that would be impossible while her associate was still dealing with his evidently older brother.

"So he kept asking about you and things about you and I kept telling him like I don't know jeez. Eventually I got fed up and told him to stop fucking asking me about you because you weren't there then here come Dwayne." She smacked her lips.

"Oh you not finna talk to my brother any type of way over no stuck up ass bitch , and blah blah blah." She imitated his voice.

"And so I told his bitch ass to shut the fuck up acting like he rub dicks with his own brother or something. And he got heated and put me out of his car. So I walked home in the rain. My thing is how can he be mad?" She finished.

"How the fuck he gonna call me stuck up because I turned his brother down due to our age difference. He's a grown ass man, and if I'm stuck up den his brother a pedophile." Kamaria fumed.

"Girl i don't know what had gotten into that Nigga. And then, when he put me out he said him and his brother was finna go hit up some different hoes trynna make me mad but that nigga just don't know I'll turn his whole fuckin world upside down." She said in a threatening voice.

"I guess we all goin through some relationship problems."  Kourtney joked, and kamaria couldn't help but crack a smile before it dawned on her.

"Girl what? I'm not in a relationship nor am I interested in anybody." She corrected

"So ya man ain't bring another hoe over to his house?" Kourtney teased her making Taraji gasp.

"Your man did what? Wait who is your man?" Taraji was lost for a moment.

"He ain't my damn man , Kourtney is crazy like the rest of em." Kamaria cringed at their words. Samir was definitely not her man.

"Mhm, he definitely got a lil thing for you. I remember that look he gave you when y'all saw each other. That boy was mesmerized by you." Kourtney swore. Nobody could change her mind, he looked like he wanted to marry her on the spot after not even speaking for years.

"Your so dramatic, it was purely lust. I can't even blame him, I was lookin major fine that night." Kamaria snapped her fingers for extra effect.

"Lust? Girl that boy was looking like he was in love with your naive ass. I know it all too well." Kourtney reiterated. "He couldn't get enough." She snickered.

"I hate when your messy ass be over doing shit. That boy wasn't lookin like that, and he ain't my man either. He can be with who ever the fuck he want." Kamaria suggested.

"Oh but he clearly don't feel the same." Taraji raised her eyebrows with a grin across her face. "Yeah hoe I definitely caught that lil shit that happened with ole boy brother. He was not playin with his ass or yours." She revealed.

"Girl what you mean." Kamaria played stupid.

"He dry threatened that boy, talking bout is you cool nigga. Or whatever he said. Then he for sure got yo ass outta dodge and away from him before he got on yo ass too. we seen y'all arguin." Taraji exposed the real.

"Yeah and at the end of his petty ass rant he specifically said he seen me as a little sister. Don't forget that." Kamaria went on to deny their allegations.

"Oh really? Or was he just sayin that because what he really meant was I see you as my girl baby , can't no other nigga have you ma." Kourtney deepened her voice to mock Samirs.

Kamaria and Taraji bursted into loud laughter at Kourtney. "You are so unserious Kourtney on my gosh. That was entirely too much, and he ain't say allat." Kamaria wouldn't admit she was blushing at the thought.

Her room door swung open and the laughing abruptly stopped, "Ouu what you in here laughing about. A boy? Im tellin mama"  kyree smirked as if he had caught her.

Kamaria gulped, "actually we were talking about a boy. You." She grinned knowing she would definitely get in trouble for what she was about to say. "We was talking about how yo lil dumb naive ass ain't realized santa ain't even real yet." She raised her eyebrows making his face fall.

"Yo lyin on Santa ain't even cool lil bit." Kyree frowned as Taraji and Kourtney laughed on the other line.

"Oh no lies here brother,  ask mommy." She claimed.

"Lil bit you so aggravating, you a liar." He slammed the door before she could utter another word and she started laughing loudly.

"I was just playin!"

Chile, what we feeling?

Thoughts?
