Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 3

Masai 125

Idris strongly disagreed with my decision, but at the end of the day it was MY decision to make.... and even though he disagreed he didn't try to stop me because he understood the need for revenge better than anyone. He dropped me off in front of Black's barbershop, despite the bitter cold there were dude's standing out front and the inside was packed; making my way inside I nodded to a couple of the regulars and made my way to Black who was in the back of the shop cutting the hair of some dark-skinned dude that I had seen but didn't really know. Nodding to Black, he nodded back and gave me 'that' look, without saying a word I walked to the back of the shop where an even smaller group of dudes were sitting around playing the game and arguing about sports. Percy looked at me and smiled, me being here meant that I had made up my mind and I was down for his plan. I sat down across from him and pretended to be looking at my phone though I could feel Percy's eyes on me, I needed some air.... I got up and walked out of the room to clear my thoughts as I made my way to through the shop Black stopped me, great what the fuck does he want.... nah Black was coo I just needed to think and he was preventing me from being able to do that. Watch it be some bullshyt.....

"Man, Masai tell these niggas who's going to win that fight this weekend." Black said and honestly I didn't even know who was supposed to be fighting, I had much more pressing matters. Not wanting to look stupid I pretended to think about it then made up something about needing to make a phone call.

"It's the Wyatt fight... Black is convinced he's going to lose but that nigga is a hater." Percy said walking out and joining me. Why is it that when you want to be alone muthafuckers is always popping up? I just needed a few minutes to think... "I take it you being here is a sign that you agree?" Percy asked.

"Obviously... you think I'm soft I'm going to prove you wrong but we gotta play this smart... it would be obvious as fuck if we leave together. I doubt Black would say anything but I don't know a few of them dudes... I just wanna be careful." I said quietly.

"Most of them are coo.... that nigga Matisse is a bitch but if he says anything I'll beat his ass." Percy said smiling... now that I think about it, Percy did A LOT of talking and yet I've never seen him lift a finger. "So here's the plan, we'll go back in there... I'll go out the back and in a few minutes you can meet me in the alley behind the library down the street." Percy said and since I didn't have any other options I nodded.

"Ayy man you good?" Black asked and I nodded, since I started working here Black has become like a big brother to me and I knew he could tell something was... off. Percy walked towards the back and I noticed Black watching him closely.

"I'm good... I just feel kinda bad that I'm about to take all your money when Wyatt beats that dude's ass this weekend." I said smirking and that turned into a whole debate, Black motioned for me to take the empty seat. "I just got a line-up the other day." I said.

"True, but there's nothing wrong with getting a touch up..." Black said examining my line-up. "So what's going on with you and Percy?" Black whispered, big brother or not I wasn't sure if I should tell him because there was a good chance he'd try to stop me.

"Nothing, he was just... he's helping me with this situation." I said shrugging. "School project...." I said not sure if Black believed me or not, either way I didn't care.

"Lennox stopped by earlier... seems like he was looking for you but he didn't come right out and say it... but I could tell. Is everything good with y'all?" Black asked and again I shrugged, we hadn't spoke since that party at Carter's, and the way I was feeling right now... it was fuck that nigga's entire existence.

"As far as I know...." I said as Black started lining me up. Once he was finished I came up with a lie about needing to do some homework and walked out, though I could tell he was watching and I would definitely be getting interrogated at some point. It took me no time at all to reach the library and I spotted Percy's car parked in the alley not too far away.
