after being in my room for a while, i decided to go check on jahseh and to tell him the school called to say we were suspended for two weeks.
i knocked on his door and he didn't answer. i wasn't gonna wait for one either, i wanted to know if he was okay. i opened the door and his room was set up. he moves quick. he had L.E.D lights in his room on the red setting. he was laying on his bed staring up at the ceiling. his face was blank.
"you alright jahseh?" i asked him
he just glanced over at me and looked away. he's not talking to me. i closed the door behind me and sat down on the bed next to him. we sat in silence for a while.
"i'm sorry" i said to him and he looked at me
"for what?" he asked me
"for getting you kicked out and suspended." i said quietly
"i got suspended?" he asked calmly
"we...got suspended" i corrected
"why you?" he asked and i shrugged my shoulders
he sat up and looked at me
"you don't have to be sorry, that fuck nigga had it coming " he said "and now since i'm finna be living with you, i guess we should get to know each other better." he said and i nodded
"well... you know my name, i've been in broward all my life, my dad died when i was little and, i like to write and sing music." i said and his eyes lit up a little when i mentioned the music.
"you know my name, i was born here in broward, moved to plantation, and came back, my dad got locked up when i was little, and i like to write and sing music too." he said and i smiled.
he smiled back and i was taken back by it. i noticed how actually pretty he is and his eyelashes are really pretty.
"i like your eyelashes" i said to him and he nodded.
*you like my eyelashes? well i like yo- lemme stop*
we stared at each other for a while but then i heard the front door open
"AHMAREE, WHAT'S THIS I HEAR ABOUT YOU BEING SUSPENDED?!?" i heard my mom yell from downstairs.
i left jahseh's room and he followed behind me.
"momma, let me explain" i told her
"please do" she said and i went to tell her what happened but jahseh cut me off and told her what happened.
she understood and we went back upstairs and went to my room. he sat on the floor and i sat on the bed.
"can i hear some songs you wrote?" he asked i got up to grab my journal and computer
*yeaaa we not doing allat*
i stopped singing and he looked at me
"i made that this morning" i said and he nodded "do you release the songs you make?" i asked him and he shook his head
"maybe someday" he said softly
"jahseh...you gon be alright over here, and we gotta be friends if we living under the same building or this ain't gon go nowhere" i said and he laughed.
"you're a pretty chill person to be around. i don't know why we hated each other so much" he said
"cuz you tripped me up in class, threw one of those hard ass pieces of bread at me at lunch, slammed my finger in my locker, and you and your stupid ass friends spray painted my house and i had to spray paint over it before my mom got home from her business trip. i have more but you don't want me to go on." i said
"damn, i was a bully" he said and i rolled my eyes
"just now realizing that?" i asked him and he just rolled his eyes
"oh and also you called me a jiggaboo black porch monkey" i said and we both started laughing
"staying here bout to be fun" he said
"only if you make it jahseh ..."
