Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Masai 108

When we stepped into Carter's house there were about 15-20 dudes that I could see hanging around, some were smoking, some were drinking and there was one in the corner getting topped off by some nigga I had never seen before. This was the first kickback that I've been to where there were no women and I wasn't entirely sure how I felt, but I wanted to have a good time and Carter seemed to be going out of his way to keep the vibe positive. He walked over and dapped me and Lennox up, pointing out to us various locations before disappearing again into the crowd. Most of the dudes I knew but there were a few that I didn't that automatically put me on guard because I didn't want my business out there and the last thing I wanted was for one of these niggas running their mouths, plus I was always wary of new niggas, they could either be coo or plottin and I wasn't taking that chance. Lennox must've sensed how anxious I was getting because he put his hand on my shoulder and steered me deeper into the party over to where Idris was sitting with Sir Michael and Kofi, passing a blunt around and laughing at something.

"You look like you're about to swing, so here's what I'm going to do... sit your ass down, hit the blunt a few times, and I'm going to get you something to drink. What you want dark or light?" Lennox asked pushing me into an empty seat next to Idris.

"Light, if you insist on me chillin... then you know dark only ends one of two ways." I said and Lennox walked off leaving me with this small group. "I didn't take you for much of a smoker." I whispered to Idris who was hitting the blunt.

"Well if we're about to deal with some military dude, I'm definitely going to be high 90% of the time to keep myself from going off... I'm still trippin over how shyt went down the other night... I can't believe Collins fired Big Mike and Moniece like that." Idris said shaking his head.

"Yeah that was fucked up... but I'm sure Devin will handle it, he'll make sure they're taken care of until they get the ownership situation handled." I said wondering how much longer I was going to last because I wasn't good with taking orders, especially from white men.

"It's only going to get worse, when we were dragging Collins into the office we caught a glimpse of the 'new rules' they were planning on implementing on Monday.... Take a look at this shyt." Idris said pulling out his phone and going to his pictures.... Damn, he had a lot of nudes in here and it was really distracting because I never would've guessed Idris was packing like that... Anyways here was the list of some of the new rules.

• Phone privileges 4 PM - 6 PM

• No Hippity Hop Jungle Music (as it pertains to Jace, specifically No Beyonce) 

• Uniforms - No more dressing like street thugs or princesses (specifically Jace)

• Weekend Curfew will now be 6:30 PM during the school year and 7:30 PM during the summer. (Subject to change IF working)

• Random Room Inspections

• Homework Must Be signed off on by a COMPETENT staff member

• Guest will need to submit a FULL background check

• Lights out at 9 PM on weeknights and 9:30 PM on weekends

"And that's just some of them, there was like ten pages of shyt they're about to start making us do..... I'm telling you Masai, I already know I'm going to be breaking most, if not all of them damn rules; I'd do better on my own, I don't gotta live like a fuckin prisoner." Idris said and that was something we both shared, we knew what it was like to be locked up and I was on the same wavelength as him, I wasn't trying to go back to that. "And I haven't even told you about the 'punishments'..." Idris added as Lennox walked back over with my drink.
