The two thirty bell rang and students rushed out like they were breaking out of jail. Amaru slid out casually despite the roaring of other kids 2 move faster .At the front of the school, Stacy posted himself on a bench waaiting 4 Amaru.Stacy was scribbling on a sheet of paper as Amaru drew near"so what's up ?" Amaru was grinning from ear to ear."I'm ready 2 get otta this motherfucker" "Where u wanna go?"Stacy asked ignoring Amaru's initial question "We can kick it at ur place" Amaru rubbed Stacy's nappy hair.Amaru couldn't remember the last time he got a haircut.He touched on his gritty hightop fade. Then again, he couldn't remember the last time he got 1 either."u think police gonna catch us Amaru?"Stacy asked. He looked empty. "Nah,"Amaru assured"my Pops aint never went 2 prison and he killed a lot of niggas" Stacy shrugged trying 2 pretend he wasn't panicking on the inside. "Look if police come after us then its whatever, right?" Stacy played his role as the gangster he wanted 2 be. Luckily Amaru couldn't read minds because if he could he wouldve saw past the fake impression. The whole way 2 Stacy's house, all Stacy did was duck and weave sirens that blared past them.


Stacy's father was a big 6'1 man and ripped from neck 2 toe.He and Stacy share the same charcoal color but Stacy father worked as a construction worker so he had an excuse. His father would always come home drunk on nights that he wasn't working and beat up stacy's mama until her face was bloody and unattractive so that no other man would want 2 touch her. Stacy was surprised 2 find his daddy still home so he knew that tonight would be one of the nights mama would go 2 bed sore and black and blue. "I'm stepping out Stace, watch ur sister ok"His father said 2 his son. His son nodded as his father walked out the door."Ur dad is packing muscles " Amaru exclaimed tryin 2 sound as masculant as possible. " U should see him at work- could knock a bitch's teeth out" Stacy said in a mixure of distress and disturbed. "I'm gonna start lifting cause lady's don't love this"Stacy added lifting up his flabs. "u know that hoe in 7th period? Vanessa, she say she wanna hop on my shit" Amaru bragged. "yeah right"stacy crackled."I'm pretty sure she got some respect for herself" "How much u wanna bet that I'm gonna smash?" Amaru challenged. "that bitch don't -" Stacy started 2 say as his 5yr old sister,Shanice, came out of her bedroom. "Stacy I'm hungry!"She whined. "Goddamn" he muttered fetching her a bowl of cereal. "cereal at 3:00?" Amaru asked. "so what?" Stacy answered his question with a question. "stacy" Shanice called as she came 2 Stacy's lap."what's a bitch?" "Aye!"Amaru snorted. "Something u should never let a man call u" Stacy responded cleverly." every girl u talk about u call a bitch. U even call mama one 2. Why don't u ever call me 1?" She asked like he was missing out on an opportunity. Amaru's laughter rupture through the house."Bitches aint shit" he managed 2 say through his crackle. "I don't care about those girls" Stacy said in his defence. "not even ur moms?" Amaru asked playing the innocent game with the naïveté 5 yr old. "Amaru-" he gave him the look that a mother would give 2 a misbehaving child and picked Shanice's cereal up and into her room. Obediently, she followed. "if u need anything I'm right here" he said before he closed her door."Damn" Amaru finished the last bits of chuckles he had left in his throat then sighed."I wish I had a baby brother or sister like that. She got a lot 2 learn" "I'd be damned if I teach her" Stacy said without apprehension. "Yeah, but what was I saying?'' Amaru gained his consciousness "Vanessa gonna be at my house later on today so if mama aint there, best believe I'm smashing" Amaru betted. "Good luck. Just make sure u use a Slim Jim" Stacy advised"or u might end up like Michael Jackson- no penis 2 grab" "U got any cause I ran out of slims. Usually, I'm always packing" stacy touched his pockets. "nah" "Shit well I don't know what I'm gonna do when she gets there" "Man I know ur horny ass"Stacy protested"U say you wont go in unless u use the rubber then when ur shit is sticking out and she's naked, u'll forget all about ur good morals. Don't go out and do something u'll end up regretting" "I got it" Amaru assured him"even the finest hoes out here got the HIV these days" 


"Whaaaaaaat?"Stacy mused himself "U just be wanting 2, ooooh, u know, 2 a girl without a Jimmy but u have 2 realize it could fuck up ur whole life"-The two boys sighed thrilled at the sensation that sex brought into their heads. "then I'm going 2 Aaliyah house tommorow cause she told me she wanted it 2 " "that hoe is in love with ur ass" Stacy grinned. "I don't give a fuck. As long as she don't really expect me 2 marry her" " U think she not gonna realize u just go 2 her so she can suck u up?" "She know how 2 go down on a nigga real good so I hope she don't turn smart on me" Amaru adored the ceiling for a second with a faraway look glued onto his face. "It is what it is" Stacy threw both hand in the air. "I wished I had gotten a chance 2 smash Mercedes" Amaru commented as he stepped back into reality. "u know I did days ago" Stacy told him"just aint never told u". The two looked at each other and laughed. "She had some BAP" Stacy added. "what's that?" Amaru looked bewildered "Bomb Ass Pussy" "She look- looked like she had it'' Amaru stated not believing that Stacy really made love 2 her but did his 2 play the game Stacy was playing. "so what are u gonna do tonight?" Amaru asked looking at his watch. "I'm gonna hit this pill Anthony was talking about" Stacy said reveling the Essence pill like he just remembered."It cost me $25 and I only got 1 pill" "That's not smart considering u got a baby ur taking care of"Amaru warned."U right" Stacy agreed. "U might not want 2 hear this but maybe u should talk 2 ur mama tonight before ur Pops comes home and beat the fuck outta her"Amaru suggested. Stacy eyes redden with outrage."FUCK THAT BITCH! My daddy works his ass off and she sucks up niggas behind his back" Amaru shrugged" Yall should talk" He yellowed with guilt. Just like I should talk 2 my own mama. "See u tomorrow, alright" Amaru saluted him heading out of the door."Tomorrow" Stacy confirmed tucking the Essence pill back into his pocket .
