Aaliyah

I sit on her bed confused. 'Who's X?' I ask her

She just chuckles, and shakes her head , like grandparents when you ask them what they childhood was like

'Me and him go wayyyyy back' she tells me

'Oh. Did you and him...?'

'Oh god no! I don't see him like that. I mean sure, he's handsome in a weird way, but no. We never dated or nothing like dat' she laughs, and so do I.

'Nah... me and him grew up together, kinda. We from Broward County. Him and and that nigga he never goes anywhere with out. Ski.'

So that was his name. Or nick name. Ski. I'm guessing he's the one that sat next him.

'Me, Jahseh and Ski did a lot of shit together. Almost everything. But, we all did something about too stupid and got caught. Well... they did, I didn't. That's why we here. The only reason I got here after them is cuz they cops didn't catch me for a good couple months.

Of course, good things don't last. Turns out
Jahseh momma snitched on me. So it was either this or Juvie. Of course I finna choose this school.'

Huh. So that's why he here. Fucked around and got caught

'Still don't explain why you called him X?' It sounds like such a weird hood name.

She sighs 'I didn't really want to to know this, but to gone find out anyway. There's a lot of gangs in this school, Aaliyah. But there's only 2 who people really fear. I know a lot about this place, my brother was here last year... but he didn't make it back out.

But yeah... 2 main gangs. Jahseh and Ski are part of Very Rare. If you hear niggas talking about Very Rare, keep out of the conversation. And the other main gang is called United Members. They are a pathetic gang from California School State who copied Jahseh parents gang, Memebers Only.

But Very Rare has been a thing since 2014, well before Jah and ski came here. And I was part of it. I ain't proud of it, and I will not be joining this time around, tho ski told me my position is still open. We all had hood names, just in case niggas was listening in on our conversations, it would be harder to know who's who.

My hood name was Lynn, Ski is $ki Mask The Slump God, but his real name is Stokely. And Jahseh hood name is XXXTENTACION. So we call him X for short.'

I nod to let her know i get it. I yawn a bit. I have no idea what time it is. Sadly, they don't let us have phones in here, and I di T own a watch. But I look outside and it's pitch black, so I take that as a sign to sleep.

The night goes by pretty fast. It's crazy to think that just a couple months ago I was in juvie. Then I got out. Now I'm here.

I don't know if imma survive this school. From what I've heard, people die in here. People get hurt in here. And nobody from the outside ever finds out.

Fuck sake. What have I got myself into.

A/N: jsut a lil explanation chapter... not much to really talk about.

So yeah, VOTE BITCHESSSSS

Untill next chapter of...
