Money,power,and greed was all I loved and thought about. Nothing could make me change my mind when it came to those three. I been moving this work since I was 13 years old and lost my father. I never knew my mother and my step mother abandoned me. Four years I spent getting beat up in a foster home. I took what little the gold digging bitch gave me hustled and got an apartment in some run down building.I don't have a mother or father. I don't have nothing or nobody. I'm out here in is this jungle alone. Ring! This the second time my alarm has rung snapping me out of my thoughts. It's five in the morning time to go move that work. I get up and get ready. Mane it's colder than popsicles out here but who gone hustle for this rent if I don't. I hate living in New York when it's cold. My balls feel like two snowballs. "Yo Damien! I'm not gone let you be out here by yourself. Not after you got jumped last week." Donte say walking up to me. This my best friend and the only person I associate myself with. "Your mama gone be bugging. I say to him shivering. "Nah she told me to get a job." He jokes and we both laugh. We did good selling tonight. I sold out that morning. I made at least 1200 I know . Donte and I walk to my bosses trap. We give him his money and I cut half of what he gave me with Donte.We went our separate ways so we could get ready for school.

On my way to school, I ran into some shorty running off the steps. I must admit she was fine as hell too. "Yo ma my bad!" I yell at her as she runs out the door. Damn man I know I don't smell bad. I know I'm 6'8 but I don't bite. She must be gay cause I know I look good. Long sleeve shirt , black leather vest ,and black and red Chicago beanie with the black jeans with black and red Jordan's. I walk into class and take my seat beside Donte. I was just about to shut my eyes ,when shorty from the stairs walked in. "Hey, everybody this is our new student Angelic James" Ms. Jones announces. "Hi, I go in AJ and I'm from Raleigh,North Carolina. I'm 17 and a senior." I was trying to listen to her but she was so beautiful. Nice hair, co coa brown skin, pink full lips, and that body is just right. "Yo Dame, wake the hell up! Stop drooling over that broad and listen." I snap out of it and advert my attention to Donte. "Adrian just informed me that them hating ass niggas who jumped you put a hit on ya. They want you off that corner cause you hustle morning and night taking they profit." Soon as he said that so much anger filled up inside me. Niggas always gotta hate and just can't hustle. Always in my pockets. "Damien,do you mind showing AJ around the school." My teacher says winking at me.
"No problem." I say smiling. I catch her staring at me and I flash that 10,000 dollar smile at her. "I know yo ass ain't smiling at that girl like that. Don't even know her and ya sprung!" Donte says laughing and Adrian joins in. Adrian is my friend too but we ain't as close as Donte.

My whole day I was walking and talking to shorty. She pretty cool. We got all our classes together so she got lucky on that. We walking home together finishing up our conversation. "So AJ what made you come to Harlem?" I ask her. AJ looks off like she doesn't want to say anything. "I'm here because my mother is running from her abusive husband and my grandmother stays in your building." She says and plays with her fingers.
Well damn, my life ain't the only one fucked up. "My bad for asking, don't feel bad I been on my own since I was 13." I say to her.
"Damn what happened to your parents?" AJ ask causing me to cough to stop tears from forming.
"Well my mother I don't know and my father died. My step mom abandoned me as soon as my father passed. She was a straight gold digging ass bitch." I say putting my hands in my pockets. "Wow, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I can only imagine what you have been through. Any time you wanna talk I'm here." AJ says taking my hand in hers.
This girl really lives up to her name Angelic. "I'm a need your number ya know if I need to talk to somebody." I say smirking and stopping pulling her close to me. She smiles and pulls out her phone. I was a little embarrassed to pull out my android compared to her IPhone6S plus. Ya boy balling on a budget. I got grown people bills. I save her name as Angelic with an angel emoji and ma gone save mine as Damien and the robber emoji.
"Why the hell I got that emoji son?" I say making her chuckle. "You obviously a thug. I mean the rent is cheap here but you only 17." I look at her and laugh. Ya know it's only been a day and I like her already. We talk all the way on the walk home. We sat on steps outside of the building just talking. When a boy from the niggas who jumped me walks up. I instantly stand up with my jaw clenched and it's like AJ knew and she holds my arm. He tries to punch me and she lets me go. I punched his ass mad hard. I hit him so hard,it made AJ say ooouu. "Damien you're gonna kill him !" AJ screams at me. I'm beating this man when I hear AJ scream and soon as I turn my head to look it hit me....Pow!
