Dope

[01:]

I took a long drag of my blunt and exhaled, the smoke came out in a large puff. My muscles loosen up and my head was floating on a cloud. I took another long drag but this time, the smoke came out my nose.

My bro Marcus sat next to me. I gave him the blunt and he took a drag. "Sup' nigga?" I shrugged. Everything stayed the same. "The usual; My mom drinking wine and hang out with his lil' white nigga and Dayana partying and smoking, leaving me alone in the house." He nodded.

"Man, Dayana's only thirteen and she's already smoking and skipping classes. We used to get beat up if we didn't go to school. Something happened to yo lil mama." I nodded. Ever since my mom dated that lil' white boy, she never paid attention about us. I felt like she's ashamed of us-of her kids.

"It's the lil white boy. He changed the family." We were good without him-well I was. My mummy sold herself to man because her stupid ass is to lazy to go search for a job. She used to get ready, tight dress, weave on fleek and high lashes on point. My mama's pretty but I don't think any nigga wants a pretty girl who can't even have a job and had the QI of a ten years old.

He chuckled,"Man, what's his name again? Kevin, Brett, Hunter?"

"Bradley." I took a drag of the blunt, correcting him. He rolled his eyes,"Same thing nigga. They all have the same fuckin names." I laughed hard this time. He laughed along. I threw the finish blunt on the ground.

"Where ya going?" He stood up, showing me his phone. He was dating Precious, our best friend and she called 13 times. He daped me before he walked to his white Range Over. I wonder if he could still drive even though he was stoned.

"Demetrius! Babyyy!" I heard a irritating voice calling my name. As I slammed my locker, I turned to see Creanna, the most annoying girl I've ever met.

"Creanna, how many times to have to repeat that we ain't a couple?" I rolled my eyes, walking away. Hopefully, I thought I'd get rid of her but she followed me and started to say some no sense,"We should call our boy Damien, Damien King. Demetrius is yo still listening to me?"

I turned around,"Creanna, shut up." I tried to say in the most polite way. She obeyed me. We stepped in our AP Chemistry class. I sat in the back and Creanna sat next to me. I sighed in frustration.

Marcus and Precious sat next to us. I dap Marcus and gave a smile to Precious. She smiled back, showing her wonderful white teeth. I don't how long I have been watching her but I suddenly looked away. I had a weird feeling in my stomach.

"Nigga you good?" Marcus asked. I nodded. What was that feeling in my stomach? I felt like I had butterflies in it and my heart was beating so fast. The bell rang and our teacher appeared.

"Hello class, today, we'll start a new project-" Two boys got up, singing 'My Nigga' but soon got interrupted by the teacher,"I won't allow you two together." The both sat down, embarrassed, making the class laughed. The teacher continued,"So as I was saying, you guys will start a new project. It count for the half of your grade this year, so I don't think you should be paired with your friends. Anyways, I'm making the teams."

The class all groaned, so did I. He started to paired people and calling them by their last name.

"King and Johnson." I groaned. Creanna smiled widely at me. Her annoying ass was happy that we were team up for the project.

"You'll have to create a biography of a chemist of your choice." We all nodded, in understanding. The bell rang and I ran out of the room unable to hear Creanna talking. I made my way to my locker and put all the books I needed. Thankfully, it was Friday and school was finished.

"Demetrius! I'm talking to you." I turned around. I raised up my eyebrows and she took as a hint that I wasn't paying attention,"Can uh, talk somewhere more quiet." I shrugged and we hopped in my car, making our way to my house.

Once we entered inside, we went up to my room and she sat up on my bed. I pressed my back on the door, crossing my arms, waiting for her to talk. She took a good breath and I could tell that she was holding her tears. I felt a kinda bad, so I decided to sat up next to her. She held my hands and tears came down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry Demetrius.." She said,"You are so young and you don't deserve this." I frowned. What was she talking about now? Probably some no sense like usual, I thought.

"I-I'm pregnant Demetrius." She blurted out. I stood up, shocked.

"Cre what the fuck?" Creanna and I used to date back then. We were always messing around and remember people saying that we might have a baby but we didn't listen them. I ran my fingers in my hairs.

She cried so hard, "I'm sorry. If you want I can a-" I shook my head as I sit down again.

"No. Everything will be alright. I'll stay by your side." I held her hands. She smiled through her tears.

"Promise?"

"Promise." I said, pulling her into a hug. We hugged for a good 5 minutes before I pulled away. Creanna felt like watching a movie so we watched Above the Rim.

Creanna slept in my arms. I could hear her snoring slowly. The only thing that through my mind before I went to sleep is:

What did I put myself into?
