" okay students now you all will be taking a quiz.... Rakim you're late but it's only about three minutes so I'll let it slide.... Kameron quit the light giggles thank you " Rakim turned around peeling Kameron contnousky chuckling behind the teachers back until whispered something back to him .

" you guys have until end of class ... you may begin " an hour later every student besides Kameron were finished while the enormous yellow bell mounted on each wall up and downstairs rung loudly as it was time for them to head to their next class .

Rakim saw Juliana by the lockers wanting to talk to her since it's been a while , but suddenly she turned the other way instead . " yo what's your issue Juli?" she smacked her teeth loudly

" you never told me you had a girl ugh " she says out of nowhere making him realize she only did all of this because she liked him .

" Juliana you can't keep doing this because I have a girlfriend ? We can still be friends you know that right ?" Juliana looked into the other side of the hallway thinking until she finally made a decision .

" okay fine and I apologize for all that I was doing , never again " try both shook hands as they walk to third period class after passing period had concluded after lasting three minutes .

Mr. Bowden and Amarion walked inside the house , Amarion began to pout once again as he aggressively stomped his way upstairs to his room . " just angry because I didn't wanna go to wing stop he already had some yesterday " Rakim and Malik both chuckled together .

" mannn you wanna ball later in backyard ?" Rakim spun the ball on his finger . " we can go right now at that one park that's close " the two leave the mansion on their way to the nearest park where they had in basketball field .

For the past thirty minutes both Malik and Rakim were in competition but for fun only , " yessssur BOW BOW BOW NIGGA" Malik yells as he was in the lead cheering while jumping up and down .

" damn man I guess my body tired welp it's getting dark we better get going before Bowden starts turning into Benson from Regular Show " ten minutes later , they heard loud noises which they assumed it was just people driving by but instead it was gunshots.

" RUN RUN NIGGA COME ON " they both ran as fast as they can while the culprit and two other people were attempting to shoot Malik and Rakim . " FUCK " Rakim yelled as he felt two hard darkened yellow bullets go through his leg causing him to fall on the ground .

Malik and Rakim hear the driver laughs whilst driving away with window going up , " come on ... oh my goodness blood dripping hold on hold on " Malik successfully wraps something around Rakim's leg before carrying him to the hospital .

Later Mr. Bowden and the rest of them were at the hospital waiting for a response, " hello Mr. Bowden right ? Oh okay so good news is it's not critical but he does have to use crutches until his legs finally heal "

Rakim was very disappointed he had to go through this but he was grateful nothing bad happened to him . The next school day during A Lunch , Rakim sat with crutches laying on the floor next to him as he waited for Yasmine to approach him .

Few minutes later Yasmine had arrived late with an irritated look on her face , " what's wrong babe ? You okay ? " Rakim had a concerned look on his face .

" no it's okay it's just with some teacher but what happened someone shot you ? Bruh that's so fucking wrong i hope they got shot back " Yasmine smacked her teeth as Rakim was laughing with his hands grabbing the burger on the white tray .
