If I Stay (Stud X Fem)

Senior Year

Suh'rai's Intro

Hey y'all I'm Suh'rai (Suh -ray)
I'm 18 and I attend Central High School.

I live in Northeast Philadelphia with my mom (Kenya), and my older brother Nunu.

My moms a overnight nurse at Jefferson Hospital . She's barely home , which just leaves me and Nunu most of the time . And by most of the time I mean barely .

Nunu is a part of one of the most notorious gangs in Philly (The Black Disciples). He's been in the game since he was 15 . He was initiated a little while after our father passed. Our mom tried to talk him out of it but eventually, she gave up.

"Boyss are gonna do what they wanna do, I've raised him as best I could up until your father died, if he thinks he's a man than so be it" , she use to tell me all the time I'm guessing she eventually got to her breaking point because she doesn't even acknowledge it now.

Our father was a well respected OG all the neighborhood gangs respected him and knew he didn't tolerate no mess. But a gang war broke out after our dads passed, word around the street is a member from the opposing gang (Playboys 14) was responsible. Others proclaim it was a simple street shooting gone wrong ...

All I know is I don't get into all that BS
I'm just your average high schooler, I like to chill with my girls, chill at home, and go to track practice the same old same old

But anyway lemme not hold you all any longer 😂😂 enjoy

Suh'rai's Pov

A familiar voice yells from downstairs

"Suh'rai Neveah Maree Carter!!" x2

I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling annoyed asl
Who tf is yelling my name at 6:39 in the got damn morning

~heavy yet quick footsteps follow as I hear my name shouted once more~

I yelled back
"Leave me tf alone "

*knock knock*
"Watch your mouth you don't play no bills in this mf"
"Neither do you"
The somewhat intimidating voice I hear behind the door is who? you may ask. Nobody but my big headed ass brother.
He thinks he's the man of the house since my dad died. We just continue to feed into his delusions to make him feel better.

"Yo, mama said your ass got an hour to get up and get ready for school. She didn't have time to make breakfast so here. "

I heard something under my room door
Nunu slid 50$ under the door like this was a drug exchange
I have no choice but to chuckle it off

"Thank you, brother"

"You're welcome now get ready you know your ass loves hogging the bathroom"
He said hysterically.

20 minutes later I'm out of the shower I get myself together but of course my reoccurring issue. I can't find anything to wear.

After 25 minutes I'm finally dressed, wearing a all-black one-piece bodysuit, black and white letterman, and my black and white dunks.
With 10 minutes left to spare, I grab my car keys my book bag along with my tote bag and flash out of the house. Luckily Wawa is 5 minutes from my school

I make the bell just in time for homeroom. Just as I find my seat, I see my girl Starr.

Starr and I have been friends since middle school. Me and that girl have been through hell and back. But everybody know this girl not going no where  .  You'll meet her soon enough  .

During 3rd period right before lunch I'm daydreaming while looking out the window as usual, when I see a car across the street.

A 2016 Dodge Challenger to be exact, I think I was staring
a little too hard because I locked eyes with this fine-ass lightskin stud in the front seat while she was rolling up. When I tell y'all this girl caught my eye mannn I couldn't focus for the rest of class. That's until Starr snapped me out of my little trance. She looked be hating

she looks over and gets a glance at the girl 
"Girl who's is that👀 I have two questions, does she go here and does she have any brothers that look like her☺️" Starr whispers to me

"Girl don't start your shit, but ngl she is kind of fine 😍".
Wait -

"Isn't she that girl that got shot up over on 173rd St "

"Yeah girl that's Zyon Micheals ."

Zyon and I lock eyes for a few seconds while she rolled up in her car, windows down listening to Erykah Badu.

"Mmh so she be in the streets "

Shit that just made me more intrigued. But she also has good music taste from what I heard coming from her car.

I glanced out the window once more just as the mystery girl started her car and drove off.

my history teacher sneaks over to my desk with a text box and slams it on my desk. " Ms Carter, my class is not the place to be day dreaming. Now if you don't mind paying attention while I'm teaching so that would be appreciated."

This bitch🙄.

Zyons Pov

*Calls Reem*
"Yo bro what we getting into tonight?"

"Shii idk bro, there's this party going on down the northeast around 11, you tryna slide?"

"Shii might as well don't have shit else to do
I'll come get you around 10:40."

"Say less ."

Once I get in the house, I can't help but try to shake off this feeling from earlier when I was sitting in front of the high school.

I locked eyes with this pretty ass brown skin female with locs and braces. She was cutting her eye at me for a little minute.

Ngl shorty can get it if she wanted to but I told myself I wouldn't trust another female if my life depended on it not after what happened with my ex. That shit was a straight up nightmare.
