Build Me Up

Chapter 3

Rollin POV

Zarie came rolling up in that black on black Audi, man his whips always nice. I got in and dapped  him up. Then we was on our way to go to Mystic to pick up our drop and money. *30 minutes later* "Yo man Tanya still trying to be my main dawg" Zar said breaking the silence. I shook my head. "Word? When is she gone learn she's a hoe and we don't wife hoes" he laughed and dapped me up. "But naw for real I wanna settle down like you and Tara. But it's like I haven't met a girl that's smart, fine, and wife material. I want a girl that's classy but got a hint of spice in her." When he was describing his dream girl , Gahnaye face popped in my head. She's someone who is right for my boy but I don't know how she will feel. So I shot Tara a text telling her what's up. "But man these hoes is too much". He said knocking me out of my thoughts. I agreed and we just rode while Lucci played.

Zarie POV

We made it to the school parking lot, a group of little wets was staring with lust. I shot them a smile and kept scrolling with Ro. As we walked to I guess Tara locker I seen Tara with fine ass girl beside her. I thought she was new because I never seen her before, she was so fine. Wtf I'm doing flexing over a girl ion even know. "Hey Bae and Naye-Naye ". Ro said hugging the girl then kissing Tara. "Aye Gahnaye this Zarie my bro-ham and Zar this is little sis Gahnaye, Tara best friend." Rollin says introducing us. She smiled shyly and I was blown away because she looked so innocent, I done caught myself staring taking in her beauty. "Hey Zarie, nice to meet you". I snapped out my trance and replayed with a simple "what's good?". We stood there before Tara said "Girl I gotta go Ro and I got stuff to handle. Y'all too behave". I peeped her and Ro. Gahnaye squinted her eyes and just said okay.

Gahnaye POV

I think I peeped Tara plan, it's cool because I'm going to get her and Rollin. After they left it was just us two in silence. I felt uncomfortable like why is he here with me? "Sooo.....Ro and Tara told me so much about you but I never seen you." He says feeling the uncomfortable tension. "Wish I could say the same but I heard about you too." He looked at me side ways. "Good or Bad?" "Both but hey I can't judge a book by its cover." I semi smiled and looked down. He chuckled and smiled at me. Lawd 😩 this boy is all types of fine and he know he is. That shirt he got on showing of his tattoos is killing me. Woahhh Nay what's up with you? You don't even know the kid. Chill out baby girl. "I think we should get to know each other more, can I get your number?" Before I could answer Tanya came and kissed a confused looking Zarie. "Hey Baby!" She said while cutting her eyes at me. I rolled mines and looked the other way. "Df! What's wrong with you ?! And I ain't your baby!" Zar yelled. She huffed and said "you wasn't saying that this morning when I was riding and sucking your dick!" I stood there in shocked and did the sip my tea face. Did she just put herself out there in front of everyone in the hall? I seen I was gonna be late to class so I finished gathering my books. "Ummm I'll talk to you later or not" I say walking away to only be pulled back. "Wait Ian get your number." I looked at a mad Tanya and said "I don't think that's a good idea, I see you are kinda occupied so I'll see you around." Tanya huffed and went to where Jericka and the hoe clique was standing at giving me salty glares. I didn't want any trouble so I needed to get to class. "If it's meant to be I'll see you again and maybe you'll have less drama." I said quickly walking to class. "Alright Bet!" He yelled from down the hall. Lawd what did I get myself into. I am going to have to cut it loose. I ended up going into my Critical Thinking class and sat in the back since I don't fuck with nobody in that class. I seen that Ms. Reals wasn't here. I plugged in my headphones and started to think. "You fat and a dirty bum bitch" my mother voice boomed in my head. I hate my  home because they always putting me down about my weight and appearance. I sometimes feel like I'm adopted. I felt a single tear fall but I quickly wiped it. It's going to get better is what I constantly kept reminding myself.

Zarie POV

Man Tanya ol hoe ass had to mess up my flow. I hope I get her, she look good females be hating. Anyways I made my way to Mr. Greyville class. That man was one of the coolest teacher out here at Garrett. I took my seat after clapping up Mr. G and took down the notes as he lectured about Shakespeare. I was zoned out thinking about Gahnaye. I notice she's very bad with eye contact. My phone buzzed indicating I had a message.
Wet 💦- so that's your girl?
Me- Now is that your business ?
Wet 💦- ya since I'm your girl‼️
Me- for the 1000th time you are NOT my girl, you don't even come close ‼️
Wet 💦- So why we fucking? It's cool call that hoe for some pussy. And I always get what I want 💯
Me- Don't call her no hoe. And whatever you say Tanya 😒
With me being pissed off I ignored her response. She act like she the only girl I can get.

Gahnaye POV

*End of day*
I'm tired as hell but I have to go to work so Tara dropped me off. Once I changed into the khaki pants and work shirt, I was ready. After I seen Zola, I've known Zola since I started here at CrackerJacks. She was 19 and she's working to save so when leaves for college she'll be good. She jumped up and down like a little kid and hugged me. "Boo Boo Kitty looking cute" she commented. I laughed and thanked her. We were assigned our tables , and was off to tend to the customers. While I was in the back I seen a text from Tara saying she can't pick me up, saying Ro got her caught. Little freaks. Well so much for a ride I texted back. She told me Rollin said God works in mysterious ways. I don't know what he means by that but I said okay. "Gahnaye table!" Zola yelled. "Okay coming" I yelled back. As I walked from the back I frozen in my tracks. I seen Zarie with a little looks to be 6 years-old at a booth I was assigned to. Shit why 😩 I thought to myself. "Damn baby girl you work here." I rolled my eyes "I just decided to dress up and walk around taking orders" I said slickly. "Ooohhhhhhh feisty Zarie likes." He said smirking at me. "Oh my bad manners, Hi welcome to CrackerJacks. May I start you too with a drink?" I questioned. "Yes lemme get a Sprite with light ice and a kids-" Zarie gets cut off by the little boy. "I'm a big boy I want the same size you got." He said sounding so cute. "Anything for you cutie." I said writing down the order. "I'll be back with your drinks." I said walking off. I felt someone burning a hole in my ass LITERALLY.
