"Can you just put it in?" I asked Jaicyon irritated.
"Chill with yo attitude. I told you I was gon' do it but you rushing me."
"I'm not rushing you, I've been feening to do this."
"You won't be saying that when we start," he smirked.
I rolled my eyes. It was New Year's Eve and we were having our own little kickback. Just the four of us.
Jaicyon was currently plugging the Xbox up so would could play 2k. But he was taking forever to put the cord in.
I got up and went in the kitchen to get a berry fanta and some chocolate covered pretzels. Manny walked in, grabbed a drink from the refrigerator and walked right back out ignoring me.
He was mad because I lied and told him I was going to tell Dre about everything that happened to me. He doesn't understand how hard it's going to be to tell Dre all of this.
I don't even know the words to say. Oh Dre, I haven't been telling you somethings. In the past year I was raped. I mean how do you tell your big brother you were raped and pregnant at fourteen?
Cajun is the devil but I don't have any hate in my heart for him. So many thoughts run through my head daily. Like I just wanna let go and do some wild stuff but Maxwell's words always come back to me, don't get caught up in these streets. That's exactly what I had planned to do. But I'm better than that.
I leave in a few days and I'm expecting hell when I return. But I was stuck on telling Dre before I leave or just wait.
"Rih! I called your name five times. What you doing?" Jai asked coming in the kitchen.
"My bad, I was caught up in my thoughts."
"You good mamas?" He asked coming behind me.
"Mhm. You hooked the game up?"
"You not okay but yeah I hooked it up."
"What makes you say that?"
"You been acting real stand-off ish lately and you always irritated or have a attitude."
I didn't even know what to say after he said that. It was true and I couldn't justify my mood without telling the truth.
I just turned around and hugged him.
"You want to talk about it?"
"Eventually but right now? No."
"Aight. Let's go play the game."

I was feeling some type of way. I felt like Arihah was keeping something from me and it was starting to irritate me. She keeps pushing me away and it's like she doesn't even want to be around me.
We was done playing the game after I won one game and she one the other. I looked over at her on her phone. Her hair was in a high ponytail, she had her glasses on with gray sweats and a white tank top. She always wore mix-match socks I noticed.
