Too Close To A Thug

A Day For Big News

Since there was no school today, me, Tice, and Shawn went apartment shopping.

"So what do you think?" The building manager asked as me, Shawn, and Tice walked back to the front of the condo.

I loved it. 4 bedrooms , 3.5 bathrooms. In a gated community. One where they have to call the house when someone comes and their name is not on the list to let it. Shawn loved that part. Plus there's a gym and pool downstairs. The rent is $675 a month but that won't be a problem. Especially if Tice goes to look for a job like I told him to. He is not about to be living off of me.

"I'll take it." I said smiling shaking his hand.

"Great let's go down to my office and get the paperwork filled out.

After I filled out the paperwork, I had him fax over a copy to my lawyer, and then I collected 3 keys. One for me, one for my mom, and one for Tice.

"So what you want to do now?" Tice asked when we got in the car.

"Going home to start packing my stuff. I gotta call Trey and Mickey. They can help move stuff in." I said pulling off and going to my moms house as I dialed Trey's number.

Trey- Hello?

Me- Baby daddy guess what.

Trey- You decided not to send me to jail for back child support?

Me- Shut up stupid. No. I got an apartment!

Trey- Word! Where at?

Me- In Levelton Place.

Trey- Ight so when you moving?

Me- As soon as possible. And you're helping so get off yo ass and get over to my house.

Trey- Damn you can't ask or nothing.

Me- I don't have to ask you shit. I got yo child.

Trey- Yeah and you still won't let me see him so shut up.

Me- Whatever stupid. Where you at?

Trey- On my way to your house.

Me- Ight I'll see you there.

Pulling into the drive way I then called Mickey.

Mickey- Hello?

Me- Where you at fuck boy?

Mickey- The hospital with your brother. Wassup?

Me- Well when you leave there come to my house.

Mickey- Why what's up?

Me- I brought an apartment and you, Trey, Tice, and Shawn are helping me move out.

Mickey- ight I'll be there in a minute.

We went into the house and started packing up everything in my room. Clothes, shoes, jewelry, everything. Even thoo the only thing that will fit in my car was the bean bag and maybe a pair of Jordan's.

But when Trey pulled up in his Ford F250 and Shawn pulled up in the Hummer, we loaded everything up. I told them not to leave anything and they didn't.

After a few hours and everything was set up how I wanted it I started looking through furniture catalogs. When my phone started ringing.
