JAMAL TURNER POV
School is over and I'm heading to Ruby's house. Since he's suspended, I have to give him all of the work that he's missing out on.
Am I proud of being a mailman? No, but I don't have a choice. No one else is going to do it but me. And this is all of Cesar's fucking fault! I hate him so much right now!
SHADY ASS CLOWN!
Anyway, I knocked on Ruby's front door and his mother opened it. She's not happy to see me. "Jamal, what are you doing here? Ruby isn't allowed to have company since he got SUSPENDED!"
Ruby walked up to us. "Ma, chill. He's just giving me the work."
"Well maybe he wouldn't need to be your mailman if you didn't vandalize your best friend's locker!"
"SHE'S NOT MY BEST FRIEND!" Ruby declared. "She replaced me!"
"So you writing that vile message was what?! Your revenge?!"
"She deserved it!"
Geny shook her head and put the focus on me. "Jamal, please tell him how wrong he was!"
"Um..." But I have no intentions of doing that because honestly, Ruby wasn't wrong.
Ruby saved me. "Jamal doesn't like Monse either Ma, so you're asking the wrong person to vouch for you!"
Geny's jaw dropped. "Do not speak to me that way! Do I need to bring Mario over here?! Because he sure wasn't vandalizing lockers at 16!"
"CRY ME A RIVER!" Ruby spat at her before he stormed off, slamming his bedroom door.
Geny's face is so red right now and she's fuming like crazy. Ruby's wild for talking to her like that. I talk crazy to my parents sometimes too, but I honestly know better.
I spoke awkwardly. "Um...I'm gonna give him the books!"
I scurried off to Ruby's room and closed the door behind me. I put the books down on Ruby's desk and questioned him. "What the hell is going on between you and your mom?!"
Ruby sat on his bed. "She just doesn't understand my anger! She thinks that I shouldve just talked my feelings out with Monse!" He scoffed. "So old fashioned. Thanks for bringing my work though."
"No problem. I'm really sorry that you guys got caught."
"I am too! Now I'm never gonna hear the end of it!" Ruby sighed. "God, why did this have to happen?!"
"Do you know who shot Latrelle?" I then asked out of nowhere.
