The Forgotten

III.

I got home from the game, and the only thing I could do was sleep.

I woke up early on purpose, I had a lot of shit to do before I went to the party. First, I went to scoop Keith and we went to the barbershop, I had to get lined up before tonight it was only right. So we got there, and news travels fast because I took one step in and the first thing I heard was, "Oh look, it's Mayweather!" I brushed that off with a laugh, sat down and waited to get my hair cut.

My cut took all of about 20 minutes. I paid my barber, dapped him up, and me and Keith left. It was about noon, and the party started at 8, I thought about what we could get into that would keep us busy for 8 hours. We decided to hit the mall for a minute, I wanted to get a new outfit anyway, if the party was going to turn out like expected, I had to look my best.

When we got to the mall, there were people outside still trying to promote this party. I looked at Keith, laughed and said, "Shit man, everyone and they moms about to slide to this."

"Yeah man, I'm trying to see some new tail anyway. You know how I get down."

Man listen, this nigga Keith, was the epitome of a womanizer. He did whatever he could to get in a girl's pants, and most times it worked. I never had luck with girls, I mean yeah they wanted me and all of that, but it's more than physical attraction with me. See I need to vibe with someone, emotionally and intellectually, before anything physical comes into play. Keith was always on my ass about how I never got any pussy, and how I needed to change my outlook, but shit I was cool with that.

So I had copped some clothes, and we left. Now it's 2:30, we still got hella time to waste. I figured I would go back to my spot and sleep for a minute, then when it's time, meet up with all my niggas, which is what I did.

I woke up from my nap, and it's 6. That was great, because now I was on schedule. I set my clothes out, and took a shower. After I did that, I got dressed, but something didn't feel right. The game last night came back into my head...I kept trying to get it out before I got angry, and it would only work for about 5 minutes. In the midst of me fighting with myself, I didn't realize it was 7:30. I hurried and ran down the street to Keyon's house, where the other 5 niggas were waiting on me. Luckily Mike's house was only a block away, so they really couldn't get on me for coming late. We took a couple pictures, as any crew of niggas do before a party, and to be honest I was feeling a lot better then. The game was out of my mind, and I was about to get mad lit at this party.

We got in Keyon's car, he drove a Hummer H2; his parents had it like that. Reef sat passenger, and U.S. other 4 were in the back, but since it was a Hummer we weren't squished together. It was perfect. Reef was always in control of the AUX cord, he knew exactly how to set the mood, even if it was a short drive. He turned on some old school shit, I think it was Tonight's Da Night, by Redman. The beat came on, and I knew tonight was going to be lit, as indicated by the name of the song.
