"Then that bitch didn't think I saw him walking with Cameron earlier. But oh don't worry. I'm finna be all up under Traylyn." I said making Keem look at me crazy.
"Bro. My Traylyn? Tyree already don't fuck with me, you tryna make him not fuck with the whole gang in a minute."
"Fuck Tyree. I don't know how many times I gotta say it."
Traylyn was one of Keem homeboys. He don't really be around. But, we've conversed a few times. On multiple occasions.
We walked down the hallway. Multiple people, like 3, came up to me and was telling me they saw Tyree and Cameron together again. All I could do was shake my head.
"So when you tryna do this?" Keem asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know. Maybe like when he not hanging round her no more." I said walking in the third period.

2 Weeks Later...
We walked to our last period of the day but Tyree had to stay the whole school day.
"Aye Tray... come sit over here with us." I waved him over. He ignored me at first.
"Traylyn. I know you heard her foo." Keem said loud making the class go quiet for a little bit. Everybody watched as he slugged his way over to the lab table we were at.
"Why you acting like you can't hear folks now?" Keem said mugging him. I mushed his head cause he was finna ruin my plan.
"Man. On my life I didn't hear ya'll." Traylyn said pulling up a chair beside Keem.
"Unt. Ya'll switch. I wanna sit by Tray. I gotta talk to him bout something." I said looking at Keem. He rolled his eyes as if the plan wasn't gonna work.
"Whassup shawty? What you wanna talk to me 'bout?" He said slouching down in the lab seat.
Traylyn was good guy. He was on the basketball team. He had locs that touched the tip of his eyes. They were black. He had kind of dark-brown skin. He had braces and plump lips. And he had an assload of tattoos.
He wore hoodies and sweats everyday. Tray was antisocial but got loud when the time came.
"I was tryna see if you wanted to give me your number and shit." I said making him chuckle. He pulled his hoodie over his head.
"Why you want my number and you go wit Tyree." He said making me and Keem mug him.
"Me and that boy don't go. At All! So what's up?"
"Bro. Keem get her ass." He said laughing. "She in this bit tripping."
"On god I'm not. I'm dead ass serious and you playing bruh." I said sucking my teeth.
"Gimme yo phone." He said. I handed it to him. He put his number in it and sent hey to himself. He saved my name in his phone as Jariah. I scoffed.
"The full name is crazyyyy. I don't get a emoji or nun?"
"Nah, cause I still feel like you playing bruh." He said. "Save my name in yo' phone."
I saved it as Tray with a black heart. He laughed. Keem just stared at us.
"You niggas are weird as fu-" Keem tried to say before getting interrupted.
"Mr. Jones. Watch your tongue in my classroom." The science teacher said. We started laughing. Keem looked at her with disgust.
"Aye. I'm finna dip. You tryna slide?" Keem said with a slight attitude. He gets pissed off easily, especially with the teachers. Mainly, this one.
I looked at Tray and he was scrolling on his phone.
"Yeah, Tray you tryna come slide to Keem house with us?" I asked him. He looked up to me and Keem staring at him for a answer.
"I guess."
We gathered our stuff and walked out the classroom together. We had to walk through the front office so they'd know we were leaving.
Once we got to Keem's car, tell me why they tried to play a bitch.
"Hell nawl. Yo ass sitting in the back." Tray said pulling my hand off the passenger seat door.
"Says who? I always sit in the front." I said looking at with a dull face.
"Times have changed. Get that ass in the back."He said laughing. Keem joined in.
"Bruh, Tray. Just get in the back foo. Her ass gone start crying and shit." He said looking at me walk to the back of the car. He let me get in the front. Then we went to Keem house to just chill.

2 More Weeks Later...
Keem, Traylyn, and I all left the school together like how we'd been doing for the past week or two. We stopped to get some Zaxby's then we headed over to Tray house. His mom was at work, so we had the crib to ourself.
"Lemme get a fry, Keem." I said reaching into his plate.
"Man moveee." He said smacking my hand.
"Alright. Cause you tryna act out cause Tray right here." I said rolling my eyes.
"Here foo." He said handing me the smallest fry. I mugged him and the fry.
Somebody started FaceTiming me. I laughed and showed Keem. He rolled his eyes. I answered it.
"Where you at bruh?"
"Hold on. I'm not ya brother."
"Stop playing for real. Where you at?"
"Why?"
"Cause I asked."
"What do you want Tyree?"
"Why you making me look a fool?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Bro you know what the fuck im talking 'bout Jariah."
"No I don't so inform me, please."
"You weird as fuck. After I bought you a car and shit..."
"No nigga. You bought me a car because you totaled my last one. Let's make the shit crystal clear."
"Nah. You hanging round niggas and shit like we just not together."
"The way yo ass been going around hugging all up Cameron, I would most def think otherwise."
"You weird as fuck. On my ma, we still together. Fuck what you talking. I'ma see you later foo."
Then he hung up. All I could do was laugh to keep from crying. Keem was looking at me like I was crazy and Traylyn was looking like he wanted no parts.
"Jariah, yo ahh need to tell me what ya'll got going. Cause on my mama, that nigga ain't finna try and shoot me up." Tray said sipping on his lemonade.
"Bro. Me and Tyree don't got shit going. He just weird as fuck and delusional. I think I got him pussy-whipped." I said still laughing.
"She really playing him for real." Keem said making me punch him.
"I wish you would shut the fuck up sometimes."
