The Squad of the Year

The Reunion & Enemy

It was 10:30am when I woke up. When I woke up I had a smile on face (due to last night). I looked on my phone and Richards name popped up in a text form. I opened the message.

Richard- Aye Leah, meet me at Starbucks, I wanna talk to you about something.

Me- Ok, I'll be there in a few.

Richard- Ight.

It was weird that Richard wanted to talk me, but it probably was nothing. So I did my hygiene and got dressed. I had on my blue polo shirt, khaki pants, and my black polo shoes. I grabbed my stuff and hopped in my 2015 BMW(white, beige leather seats) and headed to Starbucks. I arrived at Starbucks and saw Richard inside in his phone. I walked inside and to Richard saw me. When he saw me, his lit up and he rushed over and hugged me.

Richard- Wassup Leah.

Me- Wassup Richard. So what did you want to talk to me about?

Richard- Oh yea uhhh....this may sound weird, but I think I know you from somewhere.

Me- What are you talking about? (I frowned my face)

Richard- Bro, I know you from somewhere. Ok. What school did you go to in the 5th grade?

Me- Pine Trail Elementary.

Richard- I went there too!!! Who was your teacher then?

Me- Mrs. Smith.

Richard- She was my teacher too!!!

Me- Richard what are you- (he interrupted me)

Richard- OK OK OK. Look at me for a minute and see if you recognize me.

I looked at him for a minute. I looked at him confused and then it clicked.

Me- Richard George Pope IV.

Richard- In the flesh.

Me- Oh my God. It's been that long. Wow. I remember when we used to hang out with each other. Also when you asked for my number.

Richard- Yea. We played football together too.

Me- Oh yea!!! Those were the days.

Me and Richard just sat there and talked about our 5th grade days and how we did this and that. Man this was awesome. I bet my friend firm years back and nothing has changed him yet. He still goofy and know how to make a girl laugh. I see why Richard was my in the 5th grade. No matter what I was going through he always made me laugh and forget about what I was going through. Now that's a friend. So after our little reunion, we had went out separate ways. I hopped in my car and checked my phone. I had a text got a text from Darrell.

Peanut- Wassup lil shawt.

Me- Non on my way home.

Peanut- From?

Me- Starbucks. Me and Richard got together and talked.

Peanut- What y'all talked about?

Me- I'll tell you later.

Peanut- OK. Tell me when you home and I'll come over.

Me- OK.

So I turned on my car and blasted my favorite song by Chris Brown called Liquor. I had to turn it down a little just in case I hear the police. As I'm singing to my song, I happen to glance over a d see some staring me down. I turned away because that face looked so familiar. I glanced at him again. This time he had a smile on his face looking at me. It wasn't a greeting smile, it was a one of those smiles in a scary movie ( when you meet face to face with he killer looking down at you with a I got you now smile). When the light turned green, I sped of making the tires screech. As I was driving fast the tears started streaming down my face. I cried because that crazy man was my ex-boyfriend from a year ago. The tears had the pain and hurt from the past I had with him. I finally stopped crying and pulled into the driveway. I opened my car door and sped walked to the door. I opened the door and slammed it because I was loosing my mind. I grabbed my phone and texted Darrell.

Me- Hey I'm home.

Peanut- Ight I'll be over there

Me- Kay.

Twenty minutes later I hear a knock on my door. I look out my window and see Darrell standing on the porch. I opened the door.

Peanut- Wassup bae. (He hugs me and pecks me)

Me- Hey. (Laughing and hugging him back)

We walked inside and sat on the couch.

Peanut- So...what you and Richard talked about?

Me- Nothing really. Buuut me and Richard had went to the same school in the 5th grade and I realized today when Richard had told me and I had look at him for minute closely.

Peanut- Oh wow!!! What y'all dated or something?

Me- No. We was just close.

Peanut- Mmmmmhmmm.

Me- What's that supposed to mean!?!

Peanut- Nothing!!! You better watch who you talking lil girl. Don't get yourself hurt here.

Me- Boy. On God. (Calm) IF YOU EVER PUT YOU ACID HANDS ON ME. IF I BREAK A NAIL. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IF I THINK YOU ABOUT TO HIT. I WILL CALL THE CALL SQUAD AND WE WILL BE ON YOU LIKE WHITE ON RICE. NOT EVEN THAT. I WILL FIGHT YOU MYSELF. I WONT GIVE YOU THE TWO PIECE. I WILL GIVE EVERY PIECE I GOT. BELIEVE THAT IF YOU EVER....EVER...EVER, EVER, EVER ,EVER, EVER PUT YOU HANDS ON ME. THAT BEHIND WILL BE GRASS!!!!!.(screaming in his face)

Peanut- Yes ma'am.(holding his hand up in surrender)

I busted out laughing and so did Darrell

We busted out laughing and cuddled on the couch. I turned on the tv and Martin had popped up. Martin was Darrell's favorite TV show so we watched it. As we sat there, I had thought about my crazy ex. I didn't know to tell Darrell about him. This secret was to painful and unbearable to bring out the closet. Most of all I don't know how Darrell's gonna feel but I don't want him to do anything that's gonna cause me and him not being together.
