"AYE!

"Look at them bad ass kids bruh tryna break into the shop GET YALL BAD ASSES ON!" Joey yelled with a stiff mouth as we sat on the steps filling our faces with chipotle bowels. I giggled as I watched him get riled up at how bad these kids were and how they're getting worst and worst every year like we weren't teenagers our self. Well I'm young but he's older. I cracked open my blue drink he putting my straw in it as a sipped it giggling.

"They just kids leave them alone-

"NIGGA FUCK YOU! Mind yo business" this little bad ass light skinned boy said from across the street lil Mike pointing the stick he was holding at us. I knew his daddy big Mike he's now locked up in prison, he was just like his son, that little boy was born 4th grade now he bad as ever. His momma was chasing a married man's dick so this was the coming of lil mike life.

Joey's eyes widened as he put down the plate of food. I placed my hand over my mouth laughing at his reaction.

"BICH YOU BETTER WATCH YO MOUTH-

"Or what nigga? Lil Mike said.

"OR ILL COME DOWN THERE AND BEEAT YO LIL ASS LIKE YO LOCKED UP ASS DADDY SHOULDVE!" Joey said I gasped placing my hand over his mouth.

"Stop! They just kids-

"Bad ass kids, them mother fuckers need they ass beat, this is how they learn to become robbers breaking into people shit they practicing" he said. His legs in his apricot color cargos knocked together as I slowly finished eating smiling.

"You're grumpy" I whispered in his ear touching his ear softly. He laughed. I stared beside his light air which has beautiful spiral curls falling over his ear, his haircut grown out soft and curly made him look so pretty with his mustache.

"I ain't grumpy I'm talking real shit" he turned to me. I giggled touching the lining on his forehead as he broke his straight face into a handsome smile of white teeth. He was so handsome. I know Joey was my brother friend and he wouldn't want me to be near him right now but I liked him a lot. I think it was obvious to everybody that I liked him even though I deny it a lot. Since this is my over all personality I don't make it too to known that I like him. I've liked Joey since the first day my eyes landed on him. I was just in 5th grade, ivory brought him to the house to play video games and I was in my room peeking out the door when my eyes landed on him.

He was all light skin and had light brown eyes and just handsome but I've never seen him reciprocate my feelings.

I think maybe he does like me back but is afraid to speak up because of what he think ivory will say. Ivory is very protective of me. IVE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND. E.V. E. R

"Let's go inside it's getting kinda cold out here" I mumbled wrapping my arms around my body. He pretended he didn't hear me as he stared out at the little boys who were now all the way on the other side of the street talking with them selves.

"Nahh ima stay out here and wat- it ain't that cold besides I don't wanna be inside w-

"Boy come on!" I dragged him up by the grip of his fat arm pulling him into the house as he laughed.

"You know ya bro wouldn't feel right with me in here Beth" Joey said as he fell onto my bed sitting up and turning on the tv.. I shrugged my shoulders.

"So? We aren't doing nothing, we just watching tv" I mumbled sitting up.

"I'm going to get a bag of hot chips you want one? I asked him.

"Nah" he mumbled skipping through Netflix. I smiled knowing that I had what he liked. A little bag of Twix snack.

"Yo beth?

"Ivory and megan and everybody at my crib. They going to a home game at school tonight you tryna go? He asked curiously. I sighed the one time I got to spend time with him there was a home game today. I kinda forgot about it, I didn't like going to football games anyway.

"Yeah, ima go take a shower and get dressed" I told him.

On the basket ball count the ball bounced up and down as I dribbled the ball looking at bull who's eyes were set straight to me as he breath heavily. I was giving him a run for his money. His fat ass stomach hanging out of his shorts and he was sweating. I laughed focusing my eyes into the net as ivory who was on my team watched me.

"She not gone make it" maq said.

"Fuck nigga I beat you every game fuck your talking bout boi

I tassed the ball into the net as they all screamed in anger and who was on my team grabbed me hugging me I laughed. Normally friends play games it's just to play a game but ours included money.

"Give me my shit nigga!" I said approaching Chris snatching two hundreds from him and splitting it with ivory. They've won me a few time and I had to give up my money or go steal some shit to make up for it, I'm good at stealing. One time I stole two pears of Amari jeans for Chris.

I stole perfumes for me and Beth I'm a stealer. But it almost landed me in jail one time. If it wasn't for that sweet ass old man that caught us and told us not to come back I woulda been locked up that night and I would've heard the end of it.

So two hundreds was nothing to get to split between me and ivory tho. We sat on the side of the court as he threw his sweaty hard around my shoulder whispering "thanks bae" in my ear making me burst out laughing sitting up.

"Get ya gay ass off of me-

"It ain't gay you a girl! And you pretty as fuck" he said grabbing my hand. I slid out of his sweaty grip as maq sat with his shirt over his shoulder watching us and laughing

"Man when yall don't leave her alone? She get the baddest bitches out of all of us too she a bro" he said. I laughed. "A bro"

"Yea I be getting them baddies" I bragged leaving back. I once bagged a girl irory wanted so bad he was mad at me for days but she wasn't all that.

"Aye yall planning on going to that home game tonight? Rico and Kaleb playing maq said pulling his shirt down in his face as he poured soda down his throat. I glanced around me and looked down at my phone.

"We ain't gone have time to make it" I mumbled. But I knew if I went home I wouldn't make it back out the house without my mother on my dick.

"Just get ready with me" ivory bumped my shoulder. I had clothes at his house that I left there. I shrugged my shoulder.
