The Last Thug Ryder

-

Although the Thug Chronicles has officially come to an end, there is still one more person who has yet to come of age. The Son of Nathaniel is no longer the little boy that he used to be. Growing up amongst his Uncles and the Over protectiveness of his father, Noah sets out on a quest of his own. The transitioning from a boy to a Man. Will the skills from the past be enough to keep him at bay or will he be setting himself up for the worse last year of high school?

This is Noah's story..

HIS NESIAN GIRL (SAY I LOVE YOU)

PREVIEW

The first day of Year 12 left Noah feeling somewhat nostalgic. Hoping this new year would bring him some sort of excitement but he highly doubted it.

*Knock knock*

"Homo. You awake yet? Dad said come and eat."

Noah swung his door open to find his sister Niva ready to kick his door. She was surprised being caught in the act that she nearly lost her balance. She was tall for her age. They were sometimes mistaken for twins because she looked his age and was mature...well sometimes. He arched his brow at her sheepish look.

"Were you about to kick my door?"

"No. I was just doing some leg exercises."

She rested her hands against the wall and begun swinging her leg back and forth to prove her point. Noah made a disbelieving noise in the back of his throat as he passed her. Ruffling her hair he knew would have taken an hour to straighten by her outraged expression. He passed his little sister's room Molly and walked backwards to stare at her dancing in front of her mirror.

"Ahem!"

Molly turned embarrassed to be caught.

Noah put his hand up. Trying to not laugh.

"I don't think I want to know what you were doing just now. Come and eat."

He walked down the stairs to the kitchen where he found his Dad and Uncles sitting around the table already eating.

"Where's your sisters?"

"Coming. One's tryna demolish my door and the other one's being a luvo in front of her mirror."

His Dad left the kitchen to stand at the bottom of the stairs to call out to the girls.

Noah sat beside his Uncle Jay who was staring at Him.

"What is it Uncle?"

"Nothing."

Noah filled his plate. This time he felt all his uncles quietly watching him. He posed his question to his Uncle Ryder sitting across from him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." 

"Why are yous all staring at me?"

"No Reason. I was just thinking about when I was your age."

"In year 12?"

Ryder chuckled.

"Boy I never made it pass Year 10 before I dropped out of school. I was wondering ..."

"Yeah?"

"How many girlfriend's I had. Do you like girls neph?"

"Of course I do."

Jay joined in.

"Niva says you're popular at school with the girls."

Noah shrugged.

"But you reject every girl who confesses to you."

"So?"

Ryder asked again.

"Do you like girls?"

"I already said I did uncle.."

Noah could feel his temper rising. So absurd was the conversation.

"You excited for your last year of school?"  Jay questioned.

"I guess so."

"Hmmm"

"What does that mean?"

Jay put his hands up.

"Hmm means I'm glad that's all."

Noah thought maybe his uncle's were high.

"Are the girls at your school ugly neph?" Ryder pressed on

"Um No."

His dad walked back in hearing Ryder.

"What are yous talking about?"

"Nothing." The men answered in unison.

Noah looked at his Dad bewildered.

Only his Uncle Dommie was the only one who didn't join the conversation but answered Nathaniel.

"They're tryna suss out whether Noah is Gay."

Noah choked on his eggs.
