An Angel In The Hood

The Greeting (1)

"Why you looking like that?"

Angel was sad as hell. She been crying all the way to school.

"Like what..?" She said as sweetly as possible. She knew that once....

"WHO THE FUCK YOU TALKING TO LIKE THAT? Chill the fuck out 'foe I beat yo ass!"

"But I didn't do anything, I keep trying to be nice and respect you but you don't care about none of that. When I got with you I got with you cause I love you and I want us to work but you always hitting me, calling me out my name and being wrong to me."

He slapped her so hard it knocked the wind out of her. That wasn't the first time either. No matter what she did or tried to do or say to make him happy it was never enough.

"What the fuck did I tell you about disrespecting me? I just dont know..."

He started pacing back and forth... Moving his arms wildly.

"Why the fuck you don't listen? Bitch just shut the fuck up. Speak when spoken too. Stupid ass bitch, Now get the fuck up"

She wasn't even crying anymore. He never cared about her tears. Usually if he hit her and she cried he would choke her until she apologized for crying.

He smacked her arm and pulled her from the locker room. He always made her carry his books. But this time he snatched the books and rushed off.

"and you better call me when you leave class."

Angel ran to the bathroom. That's when she finally broke down. Tears and snot running down her face. She sat there and cried the whole class period. About 17 minutes before the bell ended her period she got out her cell phone, and remembered a girl who gave Her, her number the other day. She was a cute light skinned girl. She has cornrolls straight to the back and they stopped in the middle of her back. Angel never was attracted to girls. She dialed her up.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Yo Who dis?"

"ANGEL! You gave me yo number at the gas station the other day."

"Awhh, what up ma?"

"Not much, Just chillan."

"Awh, Straight?"

"Yeah, what you getting into?"

"Shidd, Matter fact i was just wondering if i should go out tonight. I guess now i got a Buddie to kick it with. Whachuu say?"

"Iight, wanna pick me up around seven?"

"Straight ma, Text me yo address"

"Okay" She smirked. All she could think about was the girl's smile. She never caught her name though. But she just found that as another reason to hear her voice one last time before she saw her tonight. She called back.

"I got the address ma"

"Okay, but what i don't have is yo name." She was speaking in a sexy tone, and even though she just got done crying, it didnt seem like it.

"Ha ha, You called back for my name shawty? Domo."

"Okay" She said with a slight giggle.

"Iight, mami, see you later."
