protecting her | ashtray

two;

"yo what up fez," rue says as we walk into the store.

a familiar ginger sits on the counter.

"what up kid," he replies.

i swear to god i've seen him before. i just don't remember where or when but i know him. i swear.

"oh shit...wait, who this rue?" he asks.

"my cousin nya, she staying here for a bit."

"oh shit...wait...my grandma new your dad i think...yeah...my grandma, well i, used to babysit you when you was little."

I KNEW IT. i remember now.

"oh shit, fezco? damn i thought i recognized you." i laugh.

"that's wassup," rue says, grabbing a red bull out the fridge. "but uh, is ash in the back?" she asks fez.

"yeah, he back there."

rue nods and walks into the freezers.

"ash?" my eyebrows furrow.

"yeah...my brother...y'all used to play together and shit..." oh my god why does he talk so slow. it's kinda annoying.

"oh, OH, oh, ashtray?" i ask.

he nods.

"you can go back there if you want."

"okay,"

walking back into the freezers, i see rue shoving something into her pocket. a teenage boy sits in front of her, counting money.

"yo rue, you ready to go?" i ask.

yeah it was obvious it was a drug deal.

but rue's seventeen what do expect from a teenager. hell i do the same thing.

"yeah, yo ash this my cousin nya, fez said sum like he used to babysit y'all together and shit." rue says, nodding her head towards me.

"yo," i say simply.

"wassup," he replies, looking me right in the eyes. shiiiit.

there is no denying that he's an attractive guy, especially with them face tattoos.

"you got any weed?" i ask. rue's head whips in my direction.

"oh shit cuz, you into that shit?" she asks. i shrug and nod.

ashtray nods, opening the microwave and pulling out a bag of trees.

"ight and i'll take some rolling papers too." i say. i'm running low on then so.

he grabs some and throws em on the table.

"that'll be 85," he concludes.

pulling out the money, i hand it to him and he quickly counts it.

he hands me the shit i bought and i shove it into my pocket.

"ight nya lesgo," rue says, walking out the freezer quickly.

"ight, uh bye ashtray and thanks,"

he just nods.

walking out i find rue already walking out the door.

"jesus, see ya fez. it was nice to see ya." i say, opening the door.

"yeah, you too kid." he replies blowing out smoke.

i jog to catch up to rue, and walk next to her.

"damn cuz i ain't know you smoked." she says, looking down at me since she's taller than me.

"i ain't know you was into whatever it is you bought." i reply, smirking.

"yeah, i won't tell mom you got shit if you don't tell her i got shit."

"yeah yeah, i wouldn't have told her anyways rue,"

"shit, we forgot to get snacks."

"just tell her there was nothing good there,"

"ight,"

"you know what?"

"wassup rue?"

"fuck movie night, let's go out and smoke." she suggests.

"tempting, but what about miss innocent who's gonna wanna hang out too." i reply, referring to gia.

i love her, but she's always been kinda annoying and a buzz kill.

"shit, we'll just go once she goes to sleep."

"okay bet, but if we get caught, i'm killing you rue."

"not if my mom does first,"

walking into the house, gia stands up from the couch.

"y'all went out without me?"

"shit sorry gia, we just went to the store to get snacks but there wasn't any good ones." i say.

"yeah, did you not hear me yell we was leaving?" rue asks.

gia shakes her head. rue shrugs.

i walk down the hall to the guest room, gia following. jesus.

"do you wanna do something tonight?" she asks.

"uh well me and rue thought the three of us could have a movie night." i say.

"oh well we could go bowling or something instead." she suggests.

"actually gia i'd rather just stay in tonight. it's my first night here and i'd like to get settled in,"

"okay, yeah sure." she gives me a tight lipped smile and walks away.

i roll my eyes. god i need to smoke right now.

a few seconds later, rue walks into my room.

"yo we're gonna go to fezco's tonight after gia and mom are asleep, we can smoke and shit there." she whispers.

well this should be interesting.
