"I know something, I know something" Maisha strolled into class sitting next to me. "What are you talking about maisha" I said smiling.
"This ain't the time for your happy attitude, your brothers in big trouble" she said, "for what" I said.
"Apparently he gave some North side kid some weed to sell during our field trip, he just got called to the principals office" she said.
"Oh my god! That must have been what was in the bag. He's so stupid" I said. "Malaya Williams to the Principals office please" the front office lady said over the loudspeaker.
"oh my god" I said cringing into my palm, "come on I'll walk you" Maisha said. We walked out the classroom and down the steps into the hall where we saw Kevin sitting on a bench outside the office.
"I told you you were gonna get yourself in trouble hanging with those fools Jake and papa" Maisha said.
"I don't want to hear your mouth right now Maisha, don't you gotta be in class?" Kev snapped. "Yeah but I heard you went all Nino brown so I decided to come see what was going on" she said.
"Why haven't you called me since my party, not like I'm pressed" Maisha said. "I don't care about what you're talking about" I said.
"Kevin what the hell is wrong with you, why would you do something so stupid" I said, "I just said I ain't want to hear her mouth, why would I want to hear yours" he said.
"Who the hell are you talking to?" I said, "my bad I'm just stressing" he said as we sat down next to him on the bench.
"So what happens now?" Maisha said, "I don't know, my moms on the way and I've got to meet with Mr. Gasca, I guess I'm getting suspended" he said.
"Or expelled" Maisha said, "well I don't care, they can do whatever. As long as Mr. Gasca know I'm not going to Northside prep academy" he said.
"What's wrong with North side prep academy" I asked, "yeah they're their college prep program is bomb" maisha said.
"Man who cares about college anyway, I'm in middle school" he said. "I do" I said, " me too" maisha said "my mama might have a bunch of kids but I don't want any" she said.
"FAMU right?" He asked, "or Fisk, they have a really good business program. I don't know though, I keep changing my mind" she said.
"Well uhm let me know what happens, hopefully you don't go to jail and end up another black male statistic" Maisha said standing up and leaving.
I was gonna say something but then Nina walked down the hall, and the look she gave Kevin let me know I didn't need to say a word.
We went into the meeting with Mr. Gasca and all sat at a rounded table. "Glad to see you ma'am I take you got my letter i sent out" Mr. Gasca said. "What letter I never received any letter" Nina said.
