Jahlil POV:
It's 2 A.M. and I just picked up Prego . I already had Kaitlyn Lay and Briante. All of us was packed in the car blasting "Pipe It Up" by Migos. I turned the radio down and asked what's the move y'all? "Aye lets go chill in the southside arts complex everybody just got out the club." Prego said. "Fashoo." I replied, 10 minutes later we pulled into the South Side Arts Complex and parked at Wendy's then crossed the street to the big parking lot.
The lot was alive with all kinds of music playing from A$AP Rocky to Chief Keef. 'Damn, its loud as shit yo!" Briante yelled so we could hear. Let's go create a dance circle Prego suggested. I thought about it for a moment, just as I was about to respond Kaitlyn grabbed be and pushed me ahead and everyone else followed. When we got to the middle of the crowd the we had everyone space out. "Aye, back it up up!" Prego exclaimed. "We finna get this shit jumpin' aye somebody place some turn up music." At that moment somebody played "Earned It" by The Weekend. "Dumb bitch I said turn up music not pussy shit." Prego yelled. That got a big "Ooooooooo" from the crowd. I grabbed Prego's arm "Aye nigga I'd rather jook to that shit than to start a fucking fight over a song."He laughed hysterically, "you afraid of a lil action Cloud?" he asked. "Nah b I just ain't with the shits yo." At that moment all I heard was chief keefs voice yelling retardedly "Gang in this bitch, gang in this bitch gang gang." Kaitlyn yelled out "oooo this my shit!" next thing I know she broke it down and started twerking. I was confused as shit. I looked at Briante and asked "How the do you twerk to this?" He only shrugged his shoulders. Somebody was behind Kaitlyn trying to get a dance when Prego grabbed the guy and threw him off. "The fuck you doing cuz?" Prego asked angrily. The guy didn't respond he just swung and Prego and punched him in the nose, knocking his glasses off his face. I snapped into action instantly, I slammed who ever the guy was and me Briante and Prego stomped him out. The crowd was going crazy, when three dudes that appeared to be no shorter than 6'6 ran over to where we were. Everyone's focus was on us the music was still blasting but I wasn't in the mood for a street fight. I put my hands up as a signal to tell the guys to chill but the biggest one swung at me but I dodged it, punched him in the gut then he dropped to his knees and I hit em' with a mean uppercut. "Dayum!" Kaitlyn and Lay yelled simultaneously. The other two guys had backed away, "Lets go I said to my crew." When we got out of the crowd the guy I'd beaten down and the guy me Prego and Briante had stomped out came running out of the circle holding something in their hands as if they were aiming. "Run!" Briante shouted. We all scattered in different directions but eventually made it back to the car in one piece.
We all piled in and when we got by Leon Highschool I surveyed everyone they all looked scared. I laughed "Aye" I said looking Prego "You was scared." He burst out laughing. "Nah nigga you was scared." Pretty soon everyone was pointing at each other and was calling each other scared. It was about 4 A.M. when everyone was back at there house. It was just me and Briante left heading back home, he was asleep in the front seat. When we pulled up to my house I told Briante to just come inside and leave in the morning.
