"Soo.."
I looked at him, and laughed at his awkwardness. "What?"
"How's it going?" He asked,
I kissed my teeth. "Nigga that's lame."
He laughed. "I'm trying aight, I'm usually in here alone, what you do to get in here anyway, Ms.Badass?"
I glanced at him. "I just handled mines, that bitch was coming way too close to me with that ruler."
He laughed again. "What were you gone do? Pull the fork out on her?"
I laughed too, shaking my head. "Shut the fuck up."
I was stuck in detention with Thebe, because Mrs.Clark, our Algebra 4 teacher, tried to 'spank' me with a ruler. Hell no! My own mama don't even whoop me. She had officially lost her damn mind.
I was 'sentenced' to in-school-suspension for the rest of the day. Some bullshit, I was only defending myself.
How come cops can say that shit and get away with it? I say that shit, and it's the fucking guillotine.
Again, bullshit.
"You think too damn much, wake the fuck up." Thebe said, pulling me from my thoughts.
I laughed a little. "My bad, reliving the moment."
"Hmm," he glared at me, "how are you and Tyler. Y'all fucking yet? You gone give in your innocence?" He asked.
I stared at him. "What the fuck kinda question is that nigga?! No!"
He laughed. "I'm sorry, I was just curious damn."
"Well stop being curious, that shit ain't for you." I said.
He laughed again. "Whatever man."
It became silent and 一awkward again, so I spoke up.
"So do you got a old lady?" I asked.
"What the fuck does that mean?" He asked, looking over at me.
"Like you know .. a girlfriend? Wifey? Bitch? Hoe? Slave?Old lady?" I asked.
He laughed. "Nah, none of that. I was just with you a day ago. Haven't we established this?"
I laughed. "Shut up, you gotta a crush on someone?"
He laughed a little. "Nah.."
I kissed my teeth. "You lame nigga."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are! You don't do shit! How are you gonna go to Senior Prom if-"
"Oh fuck no! I'm not going to that shit!" He said, cutting me off.
"And why the hell not?" I asked, glaring at him.
"That shit gone be lame."
"Nigga." I started, "this is your Senior Prom, the most important thing you do before you get the fuck outta this hellhole. Lame or not you're going! We're renting a fucking limo, taking some nice ass, sus ass pictures, and then we're getting sloppy drunk at one of California's nicest hotels, okay?"
He laughed. "Aight man damn."
I laughed too. "Good, you don't have to go with anyone if that's what you're worried about nigga. You can free bum the hell outta that shit 一or I could go with you. It don't matter just as long as you be there."
He nodded. "What about Tyler?"
I looked at him. "What about him? I heard he was taking some girl name Salem."
"Oh." He smirked, "you jealous?"
"Nope." I paused. "Our whole relationship or whatever has been confusing from day one. I like him, a lot. But he never tried to cuff ya girl. I don't know, maybe shit won't meant to be."
"What you mean?" Thebe asked.
"I mean, shit's just been weird, I haven't seen him at school in a long ass time, and when I do see him he's with that Salem girl, who just popped up out of nowhere and took his attention." I snapped,
Okay, maybe I was a little jealous, but how could I not be? It's obvious that I had Tyler first, even if we weren't or aren't on relationship terms, we're still together.
一And for him to just blow me off for some girl who I doubt he knows was just so mind boggling. But whatever I just wanna get through this last semester so I could go to college. Hopefully, I haven't even sent away any applications.
"Salem didn't just pop up from nowhere." Thebe mumbled.
I looked at him. "What?"
"Tyler knows Salem. Tyler and Salem have been friends 一or fuck buddies 一or whatever for this longest time. He doesn't fuck with her like that today. But- the only reason Tyler has been 'avoiding' you is because he's in some deep shit right now, like real personal, family on the line shit." Thebe said.
"You serious?" I asked,
"As a heart attack, don't let him know I told you this shit, but Tyler's mom is missing, and for some reason he thinks Salem and Sam have something to do with it." Thebe explained,
"Wait 一who is Sam?"
He shook his head. "I'm not saying nothing else."
"Okay well one more question. If Tyler's mom is missing, why did you say he was out with her last week?"
Thebe looked at me. "He was looking for her."
I nodded in silence.
Thebe narrowed his eyes at me. "Like I said, don't tell Tyler you know anything about this shit, okay? Jealous or not keep your mouth shut."
I nodded. "Okay."
