The Warm Up (Discontinued)

Chapter Five

Jermaine

This morning I woke up happier than usual, maybe because it was Saturday. I finally hopped out the bed after watching numerous highlights on ESPN and took a shower and the rest of my needed hygiene. As I was brushing my teeth, I looked at myself In the mirror and smiled. "Damn Jermaine you're sexy." I said to my reflection laughing, even though I still had toothpaste around my mouth. "Only if Skye seen that you're sexy." I chuckled to my reflection wiping my mouth & rinsing with mouthwash. The thought of Skye urged me to text her and ask her if she wanted to chill for a bit. Minutes passed of me debating if I actually had the balls to do this but I finally came to the answer that I am going to ask her because the worst she could say is no right?

I threw on some basketball shorts and socks heading downstairs for a bowl od cereal. Mama was gone at work and a nigga didn't feel like cooking. In between bites I picked up my phone and texted Skye.

Me - ay Skye?

Skye 😍💦 - whats up?

Me - I was just wondering, did you want to maybe go out and get some pizza then a movie later with me?

I'm feeling like the man asking Skye to hang with me. My pride overpowered my feelings.

Skye 😍💦 - That doesn't sound bad. What time? What movie? And are you going to pick me up or am i driving myself there?

A nigga got excited she accepted my offer, maybe she was feeling me.

Me - We can go out to eat around 6 and you could pick the movie once we get there, i'll come get you around 5:30 if it's cool with you. Just text me your address.

Skye 😍💦 - that sounds good to me, 6372 Prestige Ct.

Damn, shawty lived on the other side of town where the big houses & rich people are at. Starbucks & trader joes at every corner. If a nigga like me is seen out there, they'd think I'm causing trouble. I hope her parents aren't snooby like their neighbors.

"Put your teeth in your mouth damn. Why you smiling ear to ear? Getting some dick later?" Trinity asked as she sipped some of her Double Chocolatey Chip Frappuccino.

"Bitch I wish!" I said laughing. "Jermaine, the Jermaine Cole asked me out on a date." I said smiling. I noticed a girl staring at me from the other side of the library, she looked familiar like I seen her in school but I brushed it off.

"Whats up with yall anyways?" Trinity asked.

"We're just friends, he's really nice though, he could be potential bae." I said laughing. The same unknown girl gave me a stank look.

"Girl what?" Trinity said laughing. "But yall would be cute, he light skin, you sorta darkskin, you're the moon and he's the sun, the chocolate syrup to the milk, the koolaid to the sugar, the ying to his yang."

"What the fuck bitch? Nigga you is not Shakespeare" I said laughing. The same girl was mugging me hard. Trinity noticed my stare and followed my eyesight.

"Is their a problem?" I said to the girl, trying to not cause a scene in this library.

"No problem. Just watch your back and stay away from what's mine." The girl said getting up amd putting back the magazine she was looking at.

"The fuck? Who is she?" I asked Trinity.

"I don't know but she goes to Sanford, I heard she let the whole football team hit during the season after they won a game, which they won all their games." Trinity said laughing.
