i walked into the rec room and almost instantly spotted my friends. i made my way over to them, ready to relax and talk shit with them. the big room was buzzing with noise, though it died down a bit when i walked in. good, i wasn't in the mood to hear all that background noise.
"'bout time your ass got here," ski said, taking his blunt from his lips and pointing it at me. "where you been at? you must been fucking."
"shut up nigga, i had to piss," i mumbled, dragging my hand along my face. i took a seat between jaylen and kaydence, nodding toward the blunt in ski's hand. "let me hit that."
ski's greedy ass took two more long pulls from the blunt before finally passing it to me. the other kids in the rec room weren't complaining that we were smoking, because one, they know better than to raise complaints with us, and two, everyone could use a little secondhand early in the morning.
"i'm going to the store today. we low on snacks," i said. the commissary is fine and everything, but there are certain things i can't live without, like gummy bears and milky ways.
"shit, if that's the case, let me put an order in," ashley chimed in. "get me a two liter pepsi."
"ew nigga, pepsi nasty." ski scrunched up his face.
"pepsi is better than drinking henny everyday." ashley shrugged his shoulders.
"no it's not. henny is nature's honey, touched by god himself."
"nature's honey wouldn't be poisoning you and killing you slowly." jaylen pointed out. "but aight, alcoholic."
"maybe if you was getting some pussy you wouldn't have to use alcohol to cope with your loneliness," kaydence said. i choked on my spit as a snicker escaped my lips. ski cut his head in my direction and narrowed his eyes.
"i don't know why you're laughing, nigga. when's the last time you got some pussy?"
"earlier this morning, actually." i grinned, pointing at him. "why doubt my pussy game, brother?"
"speaking of this morning, where's aiko?" ashley asked. all of us perked up at his question. we look around the rec room although it was pointless to do so, if aiko was in here he'd be sitting right here with us.
"i ain't see him since he left for first period," jaylen said. i looked at my watch.
"first period ended ten minutes ago. he'd be here by now."
