"So you would rather, stay inside of this house. Bored as fuck instead of going outside to the party on this beautiful evening?" Tashayla but I called her shayla for short yelled as she opened my curtains and pointed outside like it wasn't dark as hell. I just ignored her hoping she would leave me the fuck alone.
"Look, get up and see. It's so nice outside. Plus you've been needing some fresh air. All you do is eat and sleep" she said in a frustrated tone and I rolled my eyes knowing she was just saying all this shit to try encourage me to get out when I really couldn't give a flying fuck.
"Cant see shit, and I don't wanna see shit. Go away now you getting on my nerves G" I dragged as I pulled the covers over my head and let out a loud sigh making shayla kiss her teeth, she always tryna force me to go outside. It's a cruel world... shit is dangerous out here. If the streets can take my parents then they can sure as hell take me.
Was only 12 when I found out they were gone, never really found out the real story but they said it had something to do with the streets, I made sure to never step on them turfs cause i don't wanna end up dead, even though it already feels like I am. Been living with shayla ever since It happened. Tashayla momma was my momma best friend so I stayed with here instead of my grandma cause ion' wanna be alone.

"Told you this would be fun" shayla laughed as she swayed back and worth to the music, holding my hands trying to get me to dance but I released from her grip and mugged her making her laugh.
"You need to stop lying about places being lit as hell, shayla everybody we walked past smelt like shit. I can feel a headache coming in I can't even take it" I sighed, rubbing my temples as shayla died of laughter which eventually made me laugh too but that instantly dropped when I seen a bunch of niggas starting and us making me mug them.
I hate when people stare, like man give me my face back.
"You know them niggas?" I questioned shayla, pointing in the direction of the three boys and she squinted before laughing and nodding her head, grabbing me by my wrists and dragging me towards them and I kid you not I had the meanest mug on my face.
"Taurus, durk and Dayvon" shayla laughed as she shook her head and crossed her arms making all three of them chuckle.
"You ain't even had to pull out the government" some guy said with a mean ass mug, damn maybe mine ain't that bad.
"My bad, she ain't even got no manners. My names Von but you can call me Bae" he laughed as he reached out to shake my hand but I pushed his hand away making him shake his head and chuckle, we are in a whole parallelogram and you wanna shake my hand? No sir.
"Nuni" I said lowly while returning a head nod.
"Polo" another laughed and I returned headnod and a slight smile.
"Aye durk folks is talking to you g" polo said as he tapped on his friend to get his attentions and he kissed his teeth before looking up from his phone and starting straight at me, not saying a word making me mug him a lil.
"Can I get my face back or what?" I asked him and he chuckled, shaking his head before looking down at his phone and I kissed my teeth.
"Damn, shordy your attitude stank as fuck" von laughed as he put his arm over my shoulder cause we all just started following behind polo.
"He just kept staring and ain't say a word, fuck do you expect?" I asked von and he laughed.
"You know, I think we should be best friends, let's be best friends" he laughed as he walked making me chuckle, he seem annoying as fuck but like cool to be around.
"Boy you friendly as hell, bet youn' even remember my name" i chuckled and he kissed his teeth and gave a sarcastic kinda a look.
"Ya' name nuni, anymore dumbass questions kid?" I laughed at his response. "So you ain't got a nickname?"
"My older brother call me gup cause I'm the youngest" i shrugged and he nodded his head. "Imma call you gup" he smiled and I shook my head. Chicago niggas ain't never this friendly.
"You smoke?" Polo asked me as we took a seat near on the bench behind some park and I shook my head.
"Imma need you to start using your words around me, ion like when folks don't talk ight?" Polo laughed and I did the same.
"She prolly just don't like yall stank asses" shayla said with a mug making me burst into the most ugliest laugh.
"I ain't even say all that, first time meeting yall so I'll come back with my verdict next time we meet" I shrugged making polo and von chuckle but that durk nigga still ain't said a word to me. I mean I'm fine with that though. Ain't nobody gon' force you to talk to me.
"So durk you really ain't gon' talk?" Shayla asked him as he exhaled the smoke and he shook his head making litteratly everyone kiss their teeth.
"Ain't shit, ain't nobody gon' force lil' nigga to talk" I shrugged and he looked at me again.
"Not a lil nigga, don't call me that... but What she said" he shrugged and I rolled my eyes.
