After the whole scrabble with Pookie, Keke and Chelsea, knowing Chelsea's personality, you would think she would go tell the police to get Jermaine locked up. But that is not the case, Chelsea actually goes into hiding. She has not left her house in like 2 weeks. I guess her getting whipped with a gun by Keke on the head got through to her. Anywho, with one week left to graduate, Malcolm has to get together himself and his speech for him being valedictorian. He is lowkey questioning whether Jermaine will be graduating with him. Jermaine still, in the street life not focusing on school, bringing in about $3,500 a week.
As Jermaine's grades continue to slip off, he is still in the streets. He lowkey is worried because he hasn't been seeing the local dealers. He thinks that they are plotting on him because there is this black van that circles the block every night flickering their headlights. And when they ride by him they go really slow. He was contemplating on moving selling locations. But then he thought to himself and said he wasn't no punk nigga.
Fast forwarding, It's time to graduate.Jermaine has to go to summer school to earn .5 of a credit to graduate since he was slipping. Is he going to do it though? No. He goes and sits in the crowd with his mom and watches Malcolm graduate. Nia and Jermaine attend the graduation, everyone goes and gets their diploma, everyone graduates and Malcolm gives his speech. But Jermaine peeps that Chelsea wasn't there to receive her diploma. Mind you, Pookie and Keke didn't give much detail on what they did to Chelsea. Jermaine calls Keke, who he secretly had a crush on, and asks Keke wtf they did to Chelsea. Keke say's that "we showed her who to play with and who not to play with. And who boo-boo the fool is and who aint boo-boo the fool. Enough said Jermaine." Jermaine says "bro wtf yall do, the block aint seen her, she aint come get her diploma, nothing man." Keke then mysteriously hangs up the phone. Keke calls Pookie and asks her "You know why Chelsea aint at Graduation?" Pookie responds and says "Nope and I don't care, I got to go to work, I'll hit you later." Now Jermaine is trying to figure out why Chelsea ain't nowhere to be found. Keke goes over to Chelsea's house because she knows she and Pookie didn't kill the girl. So now Keke is trying to figure out if she gotta prepare for a court case or what is going on with Chelsea.
Keke is now at Chelsea's house, Chelsea answers the door, and backs up scarcely and flinches and says "Please do not hit me, I didn't tell anybody, I'm so sorry." Keke replies "Chill out girl, just trying to make sure you good, why didn't you go get your diploma?" Chelsea says "Girl honestly I didn't want to see you, or anybody associated with Jermaine." Keke says "listen mamas, there is no bad beef or blood with you or anybody associated with Jermaine, your free go on about your life girl." Keke leaves Chelsea's house and goes back home.
Rewinding back to the graduation, Malcolm gives his speech and he, Jermaine and Nia go on to dinner at Shoguns. Which is a restaurant similar to Benehannas but it's in an upper-class part of Michigan.
Fast-forwarding about 2 months later, Malcolm goes off to college, Yale was the college he chose. He gets settled in, picks his classes and his major which he majors in criminal law, he also meets this girl that he is interested in. Cameron is her name. She is funny, goofy, smart, a good person to be around, cute and all around perfect for Malcolm. They start dating and things are getting serious within the relationship. Cameron majors in psychology.
Fast-forwarding around almost a year later while Malcolm is in college, Jermaine is still in the streets, Nia is disappointed in her son but he provides for her so she is dealing with the situation. She is very proud of Malcolm and she couldn't be more happy for him.
One day while Malcolm was on a date with Cameron, he got an unexpected text. He read the text and busted out crying and fainted. He could not believe what he just read.The text was so terrible. Half of Malcolm's world and childhood was ruined. The text was from Nia. She said something so sad. The text read....
