Me, Jake, and papa were walking down the hall and saw Maisha and Kev talking. When we got there maisha had already walked away.

"Kev-isha in the house" Jake joked, "yeah when are y'all getting married" papa jumped in. "Why don't yall just shut the fuck up" Kevin yelled and walked away.

"Are you serious guys? You don't know when to quit" I said. "We was just joking around" Jake said, "yeah we always make jokes" papa said.

"Not everyone wants to joke all the time" I said. For the rest of the school day the vibes seemed off.

Maisha wasn't taking to anyone, Kev wasn't talking to us, and papa was talking to everyone but us. Me and Jake were talking but it was kind of quiet.

After school me and Jake walked to his house, "Can I paint your nails" I asked Jake as I laid in his chest.

"Paint my nails? I ain't no bitch" he said, "that doesn't make you a bitch, and I'm bored. There's nothing to do when everyone's mad at each other" I said.

"I still don't get what I did wrong" Jake said, "you never seem to" I said. I looked up and saw Jake taking a picture of me.

"Waittt, take a better one I wasn't ready" I said, "nah you look pretty like this" he said looking at the photo

"Let's go get some chicken, im hungry" I said, "alright we can walk to Sonny's" Jake said. We put our shoes on and started waking.

"When we get the food let's go to my house so we can paint, I haven't painted anything in like a week" I said.

"You should paint my arm like a tattoo" Jake said, "I don't know if I can, my arts a little different than that" I said.

Suddenly a black car stopped infront of us and rolled the window down. "Aye lil man get in the car" he said.

"Jake do you know him" I said instantly getting uncomfortable. "Yeah he from that pizza joint, for what" Jake asked.
