Lost in Fear (8 Mile Fanfic)

Ch. 3

~Ch. 3~

(Elaine's POV)

The music was blasting, we tossed jokes back and forth at each other, the weed was passed between all of us, and this Saturday seemed right for me. Like I could finally get the shit of work and unpaid bills off my chest and just be a dumbass for all I give a fuck. 

"Yo, Elaine you thinking about joining us once we get our deal?" Sol asked me.

I laughed, "Fuck that. I can't rap shit, dawg. I just listen to it and hang out with you dumbfucks."

Rabbit says, punching my arm playfully and pointing at me, "Ay ay ay hangin' with us makes you a dumbfuck, Elaine. So shut the fuck up."

I rolled my eyes, "Nigga, keep yo hand on the fucking wheel and eye on the fucking road."

"Why so bitchy today, Elaine?" Iz asks.

Future laughs as he puffs the weed, "She just still got her mind on the guy she into."

I punch Future in the shoulder but Sol laughs and pats Future's back in agreemtn. Rabbit, Iz, and Cheddar turn their heads at me with intrigued faces and say simultaneously, "Oooooohhhhhhhhh. Elaine spill it."

I give them weird looks, saying, "Really nigga?"

Rabbit says, "C'mon Elaine, who's the lucky bastard?"

"Don't know what the hell you talkin' 'bout man." I say as I grab the weed from Future's hand.

Future chuckled, "Too late fo denial. Spill it."

Weed between my lips, I say, "Man will you fuckers shut up?"

Sol said, "Bitch in denial mean it's a fuck yes!"

The others all just laugh and back up Sol's declaration. I rolled my eyes, puffing some smoke. 

Rabbit says, "Lucky 'nuff maybe you'll see him at Chin Tiki."

"Man shut the fuck up."

Iz says, "Elaine, denial don't do shit no mo."

Cheddar says, "Hey look at Elaine's face! It's red as fuck!"

I look in the rearview mirror, just realizing how warm and red my face became. I looked like a new shade of the color. Fuck.

Sol said, "Ohhhhhh. Girl, you definitely got somethin' fo someone."

I pulled my snapback down further to hide my face. Rabbit just pulled it back up to where my face was showing and then I pulled it back down again, the others bursting out laughing again. Dickheads. I hear the sound of Sol rattling something in the back of the car but I didn't care much, until Cheddar begins yelling, "OOOOOHHH!"

We all turn our heads and begin joining Cheddar, all of our eyes on the paintball gun in Sol's hands. I declare, "Nigga give me next!"

Sol nodded as rolled the window down, readying the gun as he pointed it ou the car window. The cheering and laughing increased as we saw Sol target the bullhead on the restaurant we were driving by. With his eye closed and right timing, he pulled the trigger, and suddenly a pink blob formed on the eye near the bull's head. We roared in laughter and yelling.

"PINK EYE BITCH!" Sol yelled.

"Lemme see! Lemme see!" I grab the gun before Future could get it and he switches seats with me so I can sit in the shotgun. Rolling the window down, I spot two guys near some old building and look through the scope as I pointed it out the window, the rest of the guys all encouraging me loudly to shoot. With my left eye closed and instincts, I pull the trigger, the sound of a small pop ringing from the gun and then splat of paint on metal, scaring the two guys near the building. All of us burst into laughter and I think I saw one of them flip me off and I returned it with the same gesture before switching back seats with Future.
