Try Me

Chapter five

"What you want to eat?" Marbell asked Khalan who shrugged his shoulders. Marbell sucked her teeth growing annoyed, "Where you tryna eat Arian?" She asked irritated. Arian also shrugged his shoulders. Marbell eyes started to tear up, annoyed that they were both playing in her face while she's sitting there hungry.

"I'm so sick of y'all, I want some new friends," she mumbled crossing her arms as she started to tap her foot repeatedly showing how annoyed she was. Both Arian and Khalan looked up from their phones and to their friend with confused looks on their faces. "I know like hell you ain't crying, Marble." Khalan said sitting up from his bed. Marbell wiped her tears. "Yes the fuck I am cause I'm hungry and I ain't eat all day and y'all acting like-"

"Bitch, is you pregnant?" Arian asked scared for the answer she might give. Marbell stopped mid crisis and mugged him. "I can't just be hungry and irritated?" Marbell isn't a emotional person, hell none of them are. They're just a friend group who are attached to each other, finding their will to live and convincing each other that they're fine the way they are.

"Fuck no you can't," Khalan was now growing worried hoping that this girl isn't pregnant. That would be a nightmare for her and they all knew it.

"I'm not pregnant! Nobody been fucking on me," Marbell said slightly mad that they didn't believe her but she knew that they were only looking out. "I just had my period."

"You sure?" Arian asked calming down a bit. "I'm sure! How could I miss bloo-"

"Let's go get some food!" Khalan talked over her not in the mood for Marbell to go into detail about her cycle. Marbell shrugged her shoulders, "That's what y'all get for interrogating me." The three walked downstairs together getting ready to drive around to find something to eat cause they're all indecisive. Once they were downstairs Khalan saw Tyra and Akia on the couch watching a movie.

"Wassup, lil nigga." Khalan greeted.

"Hi, Khalan." He smiled brightly waving at the man. It's been a week since Khalan and Tyra fought and nothing has happened since. This is probably the best terms they have been on in years and Khalan wanted it to stay that way but it will only happen if Tyra is willing to cooperate. "Hey y'all," Tyra waved at the three. Marbell and Arian openly ignored her and continued to walk out of the house while Khalan stayed in for a bit. They were in fact told that the two were on good terms but they still didn't care because they believed that their best friend is just being dumb.

"We going to get food, y'all want something?" Khalan offered.

"Where y'all going?"

Khalan shrugged his shoulders letting her know they didn't have a plan yet. Tyra looked over to Akia who shrugged his shoulders. "I guess so if you can... thank you." Khalan nodded his head and hummed as a soft you're welcome not used to this sappy shit. Akia smiled at the two a little happy that they seemed to had made up.

Akia looked at his girlfriend who is straddling his lap on the couch. The two have been dating for about three months and Tyra is now suggesting that they go further than just kissing. Akia understood that that's what you do in relationships and in this day in age it's more common than anything, but he told Tyra, before they started dating, that he wasn't looking for that anytime soon. Plus he felt like now would be a bad time anyways because basketball season is about to start and he'll be at practice and games more than ever.

"I don't wanna do that yet, Tyra," he expressed. Tyra scrunched her face up a bit disappointed. "Why not? Are we just never going to do it?"

"We are! I just don't want to right now." He assured rubbing her waist in an apologetic way. Tyra sighed and nodded her head. She was willing to wait she just didn't know how long.
