Aye fam you coming tomorrow or not or not?

I was caught off guard by how many messages I had. Of course slim blew up my phone, this nigga always tripping I swea'.

And Cassidy... She won't leave me alone no matter what I do or say, so I just ignore her. Nia and Jasmin..I'll explain that later. Maybe I should call these clowns Slim and Kai though. I'll call slim first since he actin' like a lil female.

The phone rang a few times before he answered. " NIGGA WHY THE FUCK YOU AINT ANSWERING??"
Damn no hello. Slim was a very outspoken person. If he had something to say he would say it, and held nothing back. We'd been best friends since before we could walk and for so long I see him as my older brother now...my ignorant older brother. "No 'hello' nigga? I could have been dead for all you know and that's how you answer the phone?"

"Well you might as well be cause James is lookin' for yo ass."

I figured he would be. James is my "boss" but I don't ever call his ass that, that shit would go to far to his head. I owed him his "profits" from 3 days ago but never got it to him yet.

I really don't feel like dealing with him right now cause I got other problems to deal with, but he has more connections than a white girl with WiFi, so I try not to piss him off too much.

"I know nigga, I plan to go see him today" I say as the traffic finally starts moving. "You better cause you know he has no patience, I'm surprised he went this long without sending somebody to come kill yo ass." This nigga. " Man shut yo ass up."

"Oh and Kai said he was comin' over der today to check up on yo ass." Check up on me? I don't need to be checked up on.

"Y'all still think I'm a lil kid or somethin'? I don't need to be checked up on"

I mean I'm 19, but I ain't a kid, I been taking care of myself practically my whole life.

"No but you act like it" said the one who still watches cartoons everyday. "Whatever man imma talk to you later" I said pulling into my driveway. "iight bro" I hung up and walked to my door looking across the street to the house that I used to visit almost on a daily. You could say I'm the dumbest person alive to have let her get away.
