I got to school on time today. That girl was looking at me. Jamaree pulled up beside me and got out.
Hey beautiful. He said.
Hey Jamaree. I said.
I walked inside the school with him right behind me.
Aye Kamiyah! He said.
What Jamaree? I asked and turned to me.
He smiled. Why you gotta be rude?
Look do me a favor and keep yo hoes oh their leash. I said pointing to the girl.
Tiffany is just somebody I mess wit don't trip Ma. He said.
Look I ain't got to trip cause I ain't your girl but I'm letting you know right now you need to teach her how to keep that mouth shut and keep those eyes from rolling or they going to be rollin on the floor. I said.
He laughed. You funny you know that. He said.
Yeah sure. He threw his arm around my shoulder and we walked in History and sat down.

At the end of the day I walked to my car today was good I met this girl named Kiyah and she's too funny she supposed to meet me at my car. Jamaree came beside my car.

Look a lot comes with Kamiyah and I don't know if you can handle it and I don't know if I want you to. I said.

He looked shocked it didn't phase me.
How old is she? He asked.
One acts like she's my age. I said. Look you a thug and I dont know I can't risk my daughter like that. I'm mean I'm not saying thugs are bad because her daddy's one but I don't know you.
Why you say like that ain't nobody gone mess wit y'all. He said serouis.
Look I got trust issues and what you saying don't mean nothing to me. We leaned on his car.
Why you got trust issues? He asked looking into my eyes.

He nodded. I feel you being a thug ain't easy you gotta watch yo back trusting people ain't easy for me. He said.
Why did you become a thug? I asked.
Being stupid wanting the money, cars, everything, made one drop with my big brother Kevin I was 14 he died the next day and I couldn't stop I wanted to feel I don't know I ain't have nobody but him so I turned to it parnets I had them ....... I know I did my mama I remeber her face I don't know what happened woke up one day and they weren't there. He said.
What you mean? I asked.
Meaning they just left me and Kev he took care of me now he gone so I take care of myself. He said looking in the sky.
I'm sorry. I said.
Don't be sorry for me Ma. He said.
Alright I gotta go get my daughter. I said opening my door.
He went to open his door. Wait Jamaree. I said.
Yeah. He said.

He chuckled. I'm glad I did. He said and got in his car an drove off.
