Mood for chapter: set up (2017)- Summer walker Berkeley, California 1 week later 2:00 PM Coco POV This week has been terrible. I've been lying to friends acting like I'm okay. Drayton thinks I'm so happy and my sister keeps telling me she's so proud. I told her about my books and dad she says maybe somebody will share their books with me. What's the point of being in this fancy ass dorm if I can't pay for the stuff that matters. Maybe my parents were right I belong in Houston. That fucking party ruined my fucking life I'm constantly anxious, I'm worried that Afro sociopathic asshole is going to pop up on me or send someone my way. People try to get close I push them away. Chance wants to be my friend so bad and he's sweet but I'm just scared. Nobody knows what I'm going through and it's frustrating I feel so alone. I signed up for the jobs they had available half of them racist as shit and didn't wanna hire me and the one that did don't start until next month I need money now. Teachers are on my ass about not having books and telling me next week is the last week they will print pages from the textbook. The money I did have saved up my bitch ass mom spent I don't even know how she knew my banking information. I have no car I just can't anymore. I wish that nigga would kill me. Incoming call blaze😈 Coco: *attitude* Hello Blaze: where you roommate Coco: with her man Blaze: I'm here come let me up *Blaze ends call * coco sighs and lets out a shaky breath steps in her slides grabs her room key and heads to the elevator. When reaching the lobby she sees him outside by the door she opens it and he walks in staring at her. A couple girls walk pass staring at him guessing they find him attractive and want to see if their together. He clenches his jaw and holds coco hand pulling her to the elevator. Once the doors shut he pushes her hand away. Once in the room he shuts and locks the door and leans against it staring at her intently. Coco: what Blaze: what ? Coco: your staring at me like a fuckin circus animal What * raising her voice slightly* Blaze: * turns his head to side* say that shit again Coco: * silence* Blaze: no talk you shit Blaze raises his shirt showing his abs but the gun in his waist band Blaze: fucking repeat what you say Coco: please I'm sorry * tearing up * Blaze: No cry you was talking big shit Blaze stands up and gets in coco face causing her to put her hand on his chest and he stands over her Coco: I'm sorry I just going through shit okay. Watching someone die is fucking traumatizing. You kidnapping me, having people randomly watch me, my fucking parents won't help me pay for school, stealing my fucking money, I'm not allowed to be vulnerable with my friends. Coco smashes her face in blaze torso crying as he looks confused. He rolls his eyes sits the gun on her dresser he really wants to shoot her now. Coco: can you hold me please Blaze: I'm not you nigga or friend Coco: please blaze Blaze sighs and lays back against the head board as she lays on his chest and looks on. 10 minutes later Blaze is getting impatient and wants her off of him when looking down he sees she's knocked out. Why is he allowing this ? He yawns and rolls his eyes and let's sleep take over. 2 hours later Coco awakens to realize she not alone in bed she looks up and sees blaze asleep. He looks so peaceful just from looking he seems he wouldn't hurt a fly. She starts examining his tattoos and his bracelets. She grabs on of the beads when he speaks Blaze: why are you touching me Coco: I'm sorry *she mutters * She can't believe she's about to ask him this Coco: hey blaze can I ask you for a favor Blaze: * laughs bitterly* Are you serious ? We not friends Coco: please I'll do anything Blaze: you have no idea what anything means. I take promises very seriously be careful Coco: my mom stole my money and my dad is on a power trip and won't buy me my books. My teachers are getting tired of me and I don't wanna flunk out of school . My job doesn't start until next month and I have a little left over to pay on my bursar balance. Could you * she hesitates Blaze: *annoyed* spit it out Coco: could pay for my schooling this semester I promise I'll pay you back trust me your my last resort Blaze just stares at her for a while her head sinks in defeat Blaze: what's in it for me sounds like your getting free money if I wanted to donate to the needy I would donate to a charity not to some college kid in a expensive ass dorm. Coco: anything you want all I'll do. A friend, house sitter, shoulder to cry on Blaze: someone to fuck on from time to time Coco chests starts to rise as she feels this was a big mistake and is about to tell him never mind Blaze: calm down I'm not interested in fucking you how much you need Coco would be lying if she wasn't a little offended she felt he was calling her ugly Coco: 3,000 Blaze pulls out his phone Blaze: what's your cash app name Coco: $court2b Blaze types away on his phone and then suddenly looks at her Blaze: are you sure you want to accept this money once you take it's no going back Coco thinks about the shit she's been through this last week she knows deep down she shouldn't take it but she need some sort of relief if she's gonna pretend everything is alright Coco: Im sure *Ding cash app from Blaze😈*

Coco was shocked she only asked for 3. Coco: thank you blaze she slowly climbs back in her previous spot looking up at him and kisses his cheek. He ignores her and pushes her off standing up grabbing his gun off the desk putting it back in his waistband. Walks out the door leaving coco with her thoughts. Blaze POV As he enters the elevator his mind races. Wtf are you doing nigga giving her money, driving 5 hours to fucking campus when you have people up and threw here to watch her. I need to tighten up. He leaves the dorm and heads back on the road. Coco pov Why does he do that leave with no words or acknowledgment. I'm not gonna lie he didn't seem as intimidating as usual. Don't get me wrong I'm still a scared ass bitch but dare I say there was some sort of attraction brewing. I should call him and thank him again for the money just to be safe Calling blaze😈 Blaze: what Coco: you driving Blaze: what *agitated* Coco: I just wanted to thank you again for the money you know I know our history is shaky but you showed up for me more then some people Blaze: am I gonna regret this Coco : what Blaze: you call me again on this desperate bullshit I take money back and no call my phone are you dumb and where are you Coco: I'm sorry I'm in my dorm Blaze: Courtney don't start this dumb shit I'm being way to generous for someone I could just kill and move on Coco: I know and I appreciate- Blaze ends call abruptly He's such a asshole and like that the attraction started fading and she remembered why she hates him
