as promised, there was increased security. i had one or two people watching my back for me whenever i left the sector, but i didn't need any security in my sector, since it was a safe space and where jahseh resided.

jahseh or someone else would walk me to my classes, and quinnley got escorts of her own as well. since xyla had no part in any of this, she was left alone.

which leads us to where we are, right now, on our way to dinner.

our talk earlier this morning had me freaked out. Obviously it was a lot of information dumped on me at once. i truly didn't even know how to comprehend half of the shit i was being told. but for my sake i would have to make a decision soon regarding this whole gang mess.

"damn, watch where you're going," jahseh's voice broke my thoughts as he gently pushed me to the side. i realized that i had gotten so caught up in my head that i had started walking really close to him and was about to bump into him.

"my bad," i said.

"if they don't got something good, we going out to eat, deal?" jahseh said. the others cheered. i was excited too, and hoped that the food wasn't anything anyone wanted to eat. the prospect of getting out of here and getting something good to eat was now in the forefront of my mind. i was sure that it would help me clear my head and get my mind off what was happening here.

xyla and quinn came with us. quinn was here because she was now under jahseh's protection which included her in his group somewhat. she was welcome to hang around us if she wanted. while she hadn't joined mo and it was already declared long before i came here that she was under jahseh's protection, jahseh made it even more official and declared quinn off-limits.

xyla, was here simply because she was nosy and didn't want to miss anything.

the food was actually one of the better things on the menu, spicy wings and some other shit i didn't look twice at because i was so ready to get the fuck out of there. to our luck, jahseh announced that we were going to leave to get something to eat. we became restless and rowdy as we walked out of the school and tried to decide on where to eat.

"i want some hibachi," jahseh said as we walked down the long winding road that led to the outside world.

st. george was located far from any civilians, at least five miles, so best believe anytime we left, it was a walk. jahseh told me that sometimes he got people from the outside to come pick them up and take them places so they wouldn't have to walk so far.

"nigga they had hibachi in there," stokeley said, pointing his thumb behind him at the school.

"i know but i want some professional shit," jahseh argued.

"i want whatever's vegan," i said.

"man fuck that vegan shit," stokeley said, "i'mma eat me some meat."

"can we have something sweet?" quinn asked.

"ooo, yeah, like some ice cream," xyla agreed.
