I had to get this money, by all means. Nothing was going to stop me. I even started selling in school to get bread quicker. I made mad profit off those white kids with issues with their parents; they would tell me how their mom and dad was on they case or whatever, and I would give them something to cool them off. I had the school booming man, for about 4 days.

I'm coming back from the gym and I see Alanna again. This time she seems kind of happy to see me, this can't be good. I stepped to her though.

"Man I never knew you went here...until the first day, crazy how small this world is."

"I know. I want to apologize for how I treated you at the club, I should've given you the chance. You had every right to treat me how you did, I see that now."

"Oh you good. No beef shorty."

She came in for a hug so I gave her one, then out of nowhere she felt up on me and kissed me. I had to back up, shit was wild.

"Yo what the fuck you doing?"

"I want you to take me, right here right now. I'm all yours."

My id and superego going at it right now, because one side telling me to do it, and the other telling me to chill, I listened to the better one, and I chilled.

"Yo Alanna I can't do this I got shit to do, it's not you it's me." Then I took off up the hall, I had to get up out of there. Alanna was dumbfounded, I could tell. On my way away from that situation this is what I heard:

"You will regret this Kaide, I promise you!"

I wasn't paying attention to her, but I would regret it.

The next day, as I walk through the doors to school, shit didn't seem right. The vibe was off. I paid it no mind though. I went to the cafeteria to grab breakfast and this is when it all went down.

I was eating a bagel, shit was mad good, that's besides the point though, then next thing I know I hear someone yell, "One-Time!!!" Fuck man, I had to go. So I took off, out the back. Somehow the niggas were out there too...I tried to run as fast as I could, but that taser ain't a joke. Officer hit me once I was down for the count. I feel the officer put his knees on my back, and the cuffs go across my wrists. As I got lifted off the ground, the cops went through my pockets, and found the rest of the shit I had to sell today, and took me to the squad car. I looked around, the whole school was outside, looking at me, silent. And at the front, stood Alanna...as I got into the car, she mouthed these words: "I told you...you'd regret it."

Damn man, I'm on my way to the station, and I can't help but to cry. All the shit I worked towards I know is going to be diminished. I start to think about Dev, and my mom, and Snow. I let them all down. I got to the station, got my shit filled out...and called Snow; I know he could lift me up right now.

I told him what happened, all he could say was, "Damn son, hold your head up, we can get through this. Just bail yourself out and come down, I got a plan for us."

Which is exactly what I did. The bail took all but a grand up of what I had saved. I couldn't help but to be disappointed, but I was interested in what Snow had for me.
