The Devil's Game (On Hold)

Gettin' Schooled

It was the end of another day at school. School was just released & Charde, Chantel, & their best friends, Rainy & Mystic, were walking home.

Charde: Thank God we ain't got practice today!

Mystic: I'm surprised that Coach Witherspoon is giving us a break. The struggle of walking after practice be REAL!

Rainy: That's why one of y'all need to start driving to school. I'm tired of walking & taking the bus.

Chantel: Same here.

Charde: I need to start driving to school for real. Especially with Miss Hot Between The Legs here.

She glares at her younger sister, implying that she's talking about her.

Chantel: I don't fuck random boys, nor do I suck their dicks. I'm too classy for that shit.

Rainy: *bursts out laughing* CLASSY? May I remind you about what happened at Evan's house party two Saturdays back?

Chantel: So I gave a guy a lap dance & twerked a little for him. I didn't have sex.

Mystic: Your point being?

Chantel: I'm too classy to fuck a random dude like half of the girls at school.

Charde: I know that's right. Mama would beat the black out of you!

Chantel: *imitating their mom, with a Chicago accent* What have I told you about these boys out here?! All they wanna do is fuck you & get rid of you! LORD, where is my bible?! They better not have touched you, or I'll chop their hands & tiny dicks off!

The four girls start laughing out loud.

Rainy: *wiping the tears from her eyes* Girl, you sounded just like Gina just now!

Chantel: *bows* Thank you, thank you.

Charde: *sees the Westside Boys* Jeez, what are those guys up to now?

Mystic: Probably just scoping out the girls.

Charde: They better not look this way.

The Westside Boys were standing at their regular corner, eyeing out all of the girls & women that walked by. There were only five of them in the group- David, Sean, Maurice, Kendell, & the leader, Ray. Ray was only 19, & has been to jail at least 8 times. When someone threatened his gang, he fought back, then went to jail. When he sold drugs, he was pretty slick with it, until a slip-up caused him to go back to the big house. In other words, Ray was not one to fuck with.

Sean: Aye, remember the time that Baby Dee's girl was trying to holler at Kendell?

Ray: Yeah, & he almost busted a cap in his ass. *shakes his head*

Kendell: Hey, if he was hitting that ass right, she wouldn't have come to me.

David: Word.

Maurice: *changes the subject* The pickings are slim out here today.

Ray: Yeah. There really ain't- Oh. My. Damn!

He sees the group of friends walk by. His main concern was on Chantel, & how was he gonna get with her.

Ray: Y'all wait here. And if Baby Dee & his clique roll up, y'all know what to do.

*The guys nod their heads. Ray walks over to the girls & tries to stop them.*

Ray: Aye! Lil mama with the long hair & the body of Beyonce!

Chantel: *stops* What do you want?

Ray: Well, I wanna be your man. What's up with you, girl?

Chantel: Nothing's up with me. *giggles*

Ray: What's your name, beautiful?

Chantel: I'm-

Charde: Not interested & leaving. Let's go.

Chantel: Charde, stop it.

Charde: I'm serious; he's nothing but trouble.

Ray: So me being a good Samaritan by keeping my neighborhood safe is trouble?

Charde: Ha! If you mean hurting people, selling drugs, & being in a GANG trouble, then yes.

Ray: Girl, you don't know nothing about me.

Charde: I know enough. BYE.

Charde drags Chantel away from Ray, while Rainy & Mystic follows behind.

Chantel: Charde, why the hell did you do that?

Charde: I'm trying to protect you. You're not about to have your life fucked up by being with him. You know just as much about him that I do & if Mama finds out, you're dying at the early age of 16.

Chantel: Calm the fuck down! I don't get on your case about guys flirting with you!

Charde: Because I'm fucking 18! I'm a grown ass woman! I can do whatever the hell I want!

Mystic: I think we should flee the scene.

Rainy: Agreed.

The two girls leave, while the two sisters argue all the way back home.
