LATRELLE TYLER POV
"Can Tamia Cooper and Latrelle Tyler come to my office please!" Dad announced on the loudspeaker. Coop and I exchanged a nervous look.
Coop's more nervous than me. "Oh shit! What did we do?!"
I have an idea. "You know what this is about."
"About the sneaking out thing?" Coop asked and I nodded. "Damn. I knew you should've lied!"
I rolled my eyes. "Man, come on. And let me do the talking."
-
"You wanted to see us?" I asked Dad when Coop and I arrived at his office.
"Yes I did. Come in."
Coop and I walked in tentatively. Dad continued. "Now before I say anything, does Coop know about your situation?"
"About me being adopted by you? Yeah she knows."
"Good. I can speak freely then." Dad looked at me with sheer seriousness. "Where did you sneak off to this morning?"
I lied. "I didn't sneak off anywhere."
"But you did. Jordan said that you weren't in your room and I checked and you damn sure weren't. So where'd you go?"
"I-"
"We went to school early!" Coop blurted out for me.
Dad looked at her doubtfully. "Oh really? So you're telling me that Latrelle woke up earlier than usual just to walk all the way over here?"
Coop nodded. "That's what I'm saying."
Dad isn't buying it. "Well I find that hard to believe Tamia, because the one thing I learned about Latrelle this week is that he loves his sleep. So he's damn sure not going to wake up earlier than usual just to walk to school when I drive him everyday."
I went along with the lie. "Well I did."
"So you stopped by Grace's house along the way?"
Coop and I's eyes widened.
"Yeah I know about that," Dad said. "I called Grace and asked her if she'd seen you, and she said that she saw the both of you and that you asked her for a major favor."
Coop stuttered as she spoke. "A-And what favor is that, sir?"
"Letting you live with her," Dad answered. Coop swallowed hard. "Apparently you're in danger, Tamia? And if you're in danger, it makes me think that Latrelle is in danger too. And probably by the same person. His shooter."
Bruh. Why is everyone catching on to us?!
Coop's eyes widened once again and she's being mad obvious right now. "Ummm, I think it's time to go!"
