"Damn so we must be lying to each other too?" I said jerking my head back.
"Ja what is you talking about bro." He said looking at me and at Keem.
"Bro she wanna know what happened at the party. Just tell her cause you acting stupid." Keem said rubbing his hand down his face.
"And little do you know, you digging yourself a deeper grave." I said jumping in.
"Bro it wasn't even nothing for real. He was just acting weird as fuck. He tried to come for me saying that I was tryna talk to a girl from Trapstar. And basically calling me a opp ass nigga. He started getting buck and I caught an attitude. Then we left. Nothing happened." He said approaching me on his bed. I looked at him.
"Were you?" I asked.
"What?! After all that shit I told you Saturday, you really gonna sit in my face and ask me that shit Jariah?! On my mama, you starting to be on that weird shit foo." He said pointing his finger in my face while his voice got louder.
"Aye bruh. Chill the fuck out." Keem said pushing him away from me. A tear fell from my eye.
"Fuck that... were you really tryna talk to her? Sadik wouldn't just say that shit out of nowhere Traylyn." I said wiping the tear away and getting in his face.
"Move bro." He said looking away from me.
"Look me in the eye and tell me you didn't try to get with her!" I yelled letting more tears fall out.
"I didn't try to get with her." He said looking down at me bawling my eyes out. I started to hit him.
"You're fucking lying!"
"Bro come on Ja. You stressing yourself out. He didn't try to get with her. I was with him on Sunday and you talked to him Saturday. And we was with each other days before that. How could he have had the time to talk to her? Riah, you can trust me. When have I ever lied to you?" He said pulling me away from Tray.
"Never." I sniffled.
"Why you acting like this?" Tray asked looking at me from the corner of the room.
"Because... he tried talking to me today and it just br-"
"Who tried talking to you?" Keem said cocking his head to the side.
"Tyree. He was telling me that I was his and that I couldn't get out of this relationship even if I tried." I said still crying.
"Bro. We gotta kill this nigga." Tray said looking at Keem.
"No! Don't kill him please."
"Why do you allow this fucking weirdo to constantly get in your fucking head. Ja. Baby. You gotta let him go." Tray said approaching me, grabbing my hands.
"But I can't. He was my first everything." I said wiping my eyes.
"And that nigga hurt you the most out of all the motherfuckas you dated. You not talking to him no more. He done." Keem said speaking up. "And clean your face. You know I hate seeing you cry." He said walking out the room. Tray went into his bathroom, cane back and handed me some tissue.

"I love you sooo much. You know that?" Tray said as he parked in a high school parking lot.
"I love you more. What we doing here?" I asked him.
"My lil cousins got a basketball game and I wanted to bring you." He said. I nodded my head.
"What's they name?"
"Journey and Xy'Cameron. They twins but they not. Like they got the same birthday but born different years." He said. I nodded my head. I grabbed some clear glasses that I had left in his car, the last time we drove in it.
"You ready?" He asked me. I shook my head yes. He gave a me a kiss and another, and another.
"Okay. Cause you be over doing it." I said pushing him away from me, laughing. We got out the car and walked into the gym.
"Where they at?" He asked looking around.
"Bae, they probably in the locker room." I said standing behind.
"Nah there she go right there. AYE JOURNEY!!! JOURNEY!" He said yelling out for her. I hid behind him and started looking around like I wasn't with him.
"Damn nigga, you gotta call my name like that?" She said laughing.
"Shut up. What's up with you though?" He asked.
"Nothing, trying not to quit." She said making him chuckle.
"Shit what you and Xy had planned tonight we was thinking bout going out and partying or sum shit."
"Nah we not doing shit. Who is we?" She said looking confused.
"Me and my girlfriend. Ja get yo ass over here." He said turning around. I walked back over to him and we stood side by side. I waved at her. Her eyes lit up a little before giving me a head nod.
"Hmm. Well I gotta get ready for the game. Make sure ya'll cheer for me." She said running back to the court to warm-up.
"Come on, we gotta find Xy." He dragged me behind him. He sat us all the way in the corner at the top of the bleachers. We sat behind the boy's varsity team which Xy was on.
"Bae. What if I get hungry?" I asked looking at him. He sat the closest to the wall and I sat on the other side of him. He was holding me close.
"I got some Starbursts." He said handing then to me. I grabbed them and placed them in my pocket.
"Xy!" Tray called out for him. He turned around and walked up the bleachers.
"What's up foo." He said dapping up Traylyn.
"Not shit. What you up too man?" He said laughing at him.
"Just tryna live man." He said. "Yo, ain't you Tyree girl?" Xy'cameron asked me. I looked him in his face and rolled my eyes. I looked at Tray and he was staring down Xy.
"Aye bro. Move. Cause you finna piss me off and I've been having a good ass day." He walked off laughing.
