A Better Me

chapter 3

Something new

Me and Boosie walked through the neighborhood and stopped at a white Kia Rio. Boosie took off his backpack and pulled out a flat head screwdriver. I watched as he used it to break the window. He then unlocked it and did a whole lot of other things and used the USB cord to start the car. He put the screw driver back in his backpack passed me some gloves and told me to get in. I put the gloves on got in the car and Boosie sped off.

" You see how I did that. That's what I want you to do to the next car after we ditch this one." He said. I nodded and. We drove around for a while he taught me the basics about driving until we found somewhere to ditch the car. After we ditched the car we walked around to find a new one.

We found another car and Boosie handed me the screwdriver. " Alright remember what I taught you. " He said to me. I nodded and used the screw driver to break the window, unlocked the car, did the steering wheel and started the car with the USB. Boosie got in the car and I drove off. I was nervous cause I didn't wanna crash but Boosie encouraged me. After a while I sped up and I wasn't nervous anymore.

I drove all the way back to the house we came from , parked the car and went back in. We sat on the couch waiting for boogy and then to come back. Harlem and Ole boy came back first then boogie and Brandon. Boogy, Boosie and Ole boy went to another room while me, Brandon and Harlem sat on the couch.

" So how'd y'all do? I did good apparently." Brandon said.

"Yea me too." I said

"I did good. What y'all think we doing next?" Harlem asked.

"Shit ion know,but I hope we making more money." Brandon said.

"Facts." Harlem agreed.

" I hope we getting some food. A nigga hungry." I said. Brandon and Harlem laughed. " I'm serious." I said Laughing as well.

Boosie, boogy and Ole boy walked out from the back. And sat on the other couch in front of us.
"Alright,we gotta discuss some things. First I wanna say good job y'all all did good. now next Saturday we doing somethin' big. We breaking in houses all night And I ain't talking small houses I'm talking where the rich people stay. Friday we gon discuss roles and plans. Here y'all money for the week." He said giving us $500 each. "See y'all on friday." He said.

Boosie got up and drove us home. We all stayed at my house for the rest of the day playing 2k. They left once my mom came home and again she had another dude with her. After walking them out I went to my room and blasted some music on my TV. I rolled a blunt smoked on live with my other homie on IG .after about 2 hours I got off live grabbed a snack from the kitchen and fell asleep.

The next day

I woke up took a shower then called the group chat between me, Brandon and Harlem to see if they wanted to go to del amo mall. They both agreed, I decided to go eat and chill until one o'clock because we decided to get ready. I put on a calm outfit and waited for Harlem and Brandon to come over.

Brandon got to my house before Harlem. When they both were here I called a Uber. When we got to the mall we went shopping and watched a movie. The day went smooth didn't run into nobody and we had enough money for the day and still have some after.

When I got home my mom wasn't there. I checked her room, the bathroom and the kitchen , but she was no where to be found. I walked back to her room I was going to put another hundred on her dresser but I thought about it. She probably gone use it for drugs. I walked to my room took my shirt off and changed into some pajama pants.

I watched a movie until I fell asleep. I slept peacefully until I got a call around 12:00 am it was Brandon. He told me to come outside and that it was important. I got up and put on the black hoodie from yesterday. When I got outside Brandon, Harlem and Boosie were waiting on me.
Boosie passed me some gloves.

"What's these for?" I asked.

"There's a pawn shop in long beach, we finna go rob it. Brandon gone be get away driver, Harlem gone be look out while me and you going and grab shit." Boosie said with a serious tone. I nodded.

"Alright ." I said.

" we going in for guns and jewelry. We on a five minute timer alright." Boosie said.
" Now let's go find a car to jack." He said.

We all walked around the neighborhood and found a car. Brandon did everything we got in and he took off. Me and Harlem were in the back while Boosie sat in the front. We pulled up and parked in the alley behind it. Me , Harlem and Boosie put our bandanas on our faces. Boosie grabbed his back pack and grabbed another on giving it to me.

The backpack had a hammer in it. I grabbed the hammer before getting out of the car. We walked to the front and the doors were barricaded. Me, Harlem and Boosie plied the gate open enough for me to break the glasses and get in with Boosie following behind me .

I let him take the lead. He smashed the counter and grabbed the jewelry there and I did the same. I then went to the wall behind the counter and grabbed a few Glocks and some of the bullets from the shelf.

Boosie went to the back and came out with more guns and bullets. "Alright let's go." He said while running out I followed behind him . As soon as we got out we all took off running back to the car. We got in and before we can close the door Brandon sped off.

We got home Boosie kept the bags and took the car with him. I went in my house to my mom room to see if she was there and she was. So I went to my room and went to sleep.
