Friday, 2pm

I've been revising all day with Brandon and Rakai today. Our schools had inset day so we've just been at mine. Everyone else is chilling at Reeko's so we're gonna roll thru after we finish. Unserious candidates kmt! They should really be studying with us but they're having a foosball tournament. Instead of them to be doing work smh.

Anyways, we've all been getting on with our own work. We've actually been consistent since 10am, after these wastemen made pancakes and splattered it across the whole kitchen. And themselves. They're actually kids man.

Rakai suddenly throws my pencil case at my head.

I kiss my teeth and throw it back, hitting him smack bang in his forehead.

I chuckle as he gets up then throws a soft bang towards me, ducking just in time. I bang his arm then we end up play fighting.

Brandon ignores us, getting on with his work at my desk.

We keep play fighting around the room.

Rakz gets me in a headlock.

I don't even understand how this happened?! Sigh.

I'm really trying my hardest to get out while he holds me with ease kmt.

"OK YOU WIN!! Let me out!" I shout.

He chuckles and lets me go. I sit down on my bed breathlessly.

Rakai plops down next to me.

"One thing I noticed though, you always start with a right hook, at the same angle."

I shrug "I don't even think about it lol."

Brandon nods, now paying attention "Yeah it's true, you need to move around more when you fight though. Staying still is what gets you killed."

I scoff "So I'm supposed to jump when I swing?"

"Nah, stand up, let me show you what I mean."

I frown "Why?"

He chuckles "Stand up man, I ain't gonna hurt you."

"Whatever." I say, then stand opposite him.

"Swing."

I raise an eyebrow.

"Do it!"

I roll my eyes then punch his arm.

"Nah hit me with your chest."

I shrug "Alright."

I hit him as hard as I can, driving my fist into his arm with force. He jolts back a bit, but what I don't see is him poking my side with his phone like a shank.

"BLAM! You're DEAD!"

I scoff "Skeen No I'm not! There's no organ there!"

He shakes his head "Don't work like that b, still got some major veins."

I roll my eyes "Fine let's do it again."

"Ite so you can't just swing, you have to bounce around. When you move around it makes it hard for them to dip you."

"Naturally you're moving around anyway though."

He chuckles and shakes his head "Not you, you just charge forward throwing bangs like a boxer."

"Yeah coz it works."

"Nah that shit only works with girls, you gotta come harder than that with mandem."

I roll my eyes "You're acting like I ain't been in this situation already."

"Yeah but you're always struggling before we jump in to back it."
