Its a hot summer day in Baton Rouge and there's nothing to do but be lazy bc the heat outside is energy straining.... Linell is spending her summer with Shae.
Linell's POV
5:30 am
Shae: sis ! Get yo lazy ass up !!
Me: bitchhh ! Fight me ! I was in the middle of a good dreammmm !!! Why would you wake me up😢😢??
Shae: mane get up its time to jog you know I gotta get that body that I want.
Me: MANE !!!! IM SICK OF THIS BULLSHIYT EVERY GOT DAMN-
I got cut off by my aunt Draeuh (Shae's mama)
Aunt Draeuh: ik you gon cut that muthafuckin cursing out up in here !
Me: I'm sorry tee she just ughhh !
I rolled my eyes....
Shae: Just what huh ???👀
Me: A BIYTCH !
Aunt Draeuh popped me in my mouth.
Me: dangg Teeee ! I'm sorry !!!
Shae laughed really hard and fell on the floor
Aunt Draeuh: you next , yuh hear ?
I sat on the bed mad for a couple of minutes....that is until I gotta a message from this boy I've been talkin too since 8th grade but had never seen in person.... His name is Ravi Whitz. He's 17 , Hispanic and black... He say he's 5'4. He lives in Lafeyette , Louisiana. He speaks Spanish and English. He have long curly , coal black hair that stops 3 inches above his waist (so he say) I met him thru Shae. She knew him bc his sister was her best friend and they lived around the corner from her... Ravi moved with his daddy bc his mama couldn't handle his gang violence any longer.... One day he saw a picture of me in Shae's phn while she was going thru her gallery deleting old pictures that she didn't need out of her phn. She say he stopped her on a picture of me with goofy glasses and pink lipstick on. He asked a lot of questions abojt me and Shae answered. He finally said he wanted to talk to me. She gave him my number and that was the day we started talkin.
I smiled as I unlocked my phn.
Shae: why you smiling so hard bihh ?
Me: bc Ravi just texted me... He wants me to call him.
Shae: why ?
Me: idk , but I'm bouta do it so don't say anything stoopid....😒
Shae: okay.
I dialed his number and he answered on the 3rd ring.
Ravi: hello ?
Me: heyy baby !
Ravi: uhh hey...
Me: what's wrong ?
Ravi: allot...
Me: Like ? 👀👀
Ravi: idk
Me: don't be stoopid boy , what's wrong with you ?
Ravi: we can't talk anymore...
My heart fell into my stomach and tears just started rolling from my eyes.... I tried to keep my voice normal as I talked to him bc I don't like letting niggas know I care about them.
Me:.....
Ravi: hello ?
Me: uh huh I'm still here.
Ravi: ik you not- I cut him off
Me: NO ! I'm not crying ! I don't give a shiyt ! You cut me off so byeee ! 👋
I hung up the phn. Shae came to me bc she saw the hurt in my face , heard the pain in my voice and saw the heartbreak in my tears. She wrapped her arms around me.
Shae: its gonna be okay Sis. Fuck that nigga... He wasn't ready for you girl.
Me:.....
I cried harder but I laid my face in the crease of her neck and shoulder. She rubbed my back and tried to make me feel better but that wasn't happening bc I had my heart set and on lock for this dude...
From that day on I was out of my character. The rest of the summer. I laid in bed and watched TV or put together puzzles.... I wasn't myself anymore.....
Shae's POV.
I walked outta my room where Sis was and went in the kitchen and called Ravi punk ass.... This nigga got my Sis fucked up. He did that bullshit down bad this morning for real. Next time he visit his mama ima beat the living shit outta him for playin with Sis emotions. He ain nun but a Fuck Boy !
