I walked to my locker as Nautica talked my ear off. She was new, her first year attending Andrew Jackson High. Her family had moved in the week before senior year started. It only took us three days to realize my first and only three classes was her first three as well. We exchanged numbers because she was new and out of the first three days Gotti had only been there once so I had no friends there either. We've been click tight since.
Moosa swore she wasn't my friend and I was just bored but I actually liked Nautica. Tall and toned she looked like she was from the Amazon. Wild thick wavy hair, bronze skin tone, and hazel eyes.
"Our last thanksgiving break. We should smoke." She said as I burst out laughing shaking my head.
"We smoke every day Naughty." I said looking over at her as I put my books in my locker. "But this definitely deserve a blunt.... A big fat one." I said as she burst out laughing leaning against the wall. Gotti walked up holding a slice of pizza from lunch.
"Aye go get yo pizza and give it to me." He said to Naughty as she looked from him to me.
"Ya friend drunk." She said accent different from everyone around us. I shook my head. They always argued over nothing. I put my pulled my English book out working on a paper that was due for three weeks but figured I'll get it out the way.
"Let's go y'all." I said as Gotti reached for my book bag I slapped his hand.
"It's empty. I'm fine." I said as Nautica handed him hers.
"Ya friend drunk." He said mimicking her as I laughed.
"Y'all ridiculous." I said laughing as we stepped outside.
"You still going to Nicki's tonight?" Naughty asked popping a piece of winterfresh gum in her mouth, as I stood still head tilt to the side.
"Hell nah she ain't." Gotti said laughing to himself. "They done let this ugly ass nigga out that ma'fucking cage." He said loudly crossing the street toward the matte Green G wagon where Moosa stood eyes burning a hole through me.
"Who in the fuck is that?" She said lowly I looked over at her for a split second before looking back at Moosa to be sure I wasn't tweaking.
"That's my Moo." I said softly. As she started to cough choking on her own saliva. "Crazy how your body can unintentionally kill itself." I said looking back at her.
As she gained her composure. Hazel eyes red from coughing. Her burgundy painted lips spread into a smile as she laughed.
"Damn right because I was almost a goner bitch." She said as I smirked biting back my laugh.
This was my first real female friend and no lie she was everything I never knew I was missing.
"So this is the Moosa. Ummmm." She said lips in a downward smirk as she nodded her head slowly "yea it make sense why these hoes can't stand you. Got this Greek God wrapped around your finger. Urrrkay." She said as I shook my head walking toward Moo who stared at me while Gotti talked his ear off.
Natiuca phone rung as she stopped I did the same.
"This my mother hold on." She said answering the phone. "Yea ma... no I'm with Rose. He here? Right now? Ohhmigah here I come." She hung up the phone "my brother here! I got to go home." She squealed her brother had got locked up when she was 14 he was 17 she never told me what he did and I didn't ask.
"I'll have Moosa drop me off later if that's cool." I said as she stepped back looking me up and down.
"If it's cool?" She said lips kicked to the right. "Bitch you can move in if you want." She said laughing hugging me before flicking Gotti off who was watching right along with Moosa. We walked over to them as Moosa stared down at me. We didn't touch each other though. Not here. Not right now.
