Chris and Kamaal

Chapter 18: Friday Night

Chapter 18: Friday Night

It's Friday night, which means it's Crush Session and the start of Christmas break. It's also Kamaal's last day in town before he flies to New York. I'll chill with him when we come back. We decided to go to the movies this time to see The Call. That movie has been out for a good while, and I'm more that excited to see it. As we're at the house getting ready to leave, Myra is holding us up.

"Myra would you come on?" Trey says as he sucks his teeth

"Yeah, what the hell are you doing anyway?"

I walk in the kitchen and see Myra stuffing her purse with Fruit Gushers, popcorn, and a jello cup. She looks up and spots me giving her the "really bitch" face.

"What? I'm not bout to pay $3.50 for some damn candy."

She places a jello cup in Trey's backpack, and my mom walks in the kitchen.

"Hey mom, we're about to head out."

"All right kids have fun, don't stay out too late." My mom says as she kisses me and walks toward our snack cabinet.

"Bye mama!!!" Trey and Myra say as they try to walk out the kitchen quickly

"FREEZE!!! WHO THE HELL ATE ALL MY OREOS??

"Trey!!! He's got a sandwich bag full of them in his backpack!!!" Myra says

"What???" Trey says as he sucks his teeth. "No I don't!!!"

My mom walks over to Trey and searches his backpack. Low and behold, the jello cups were in his backpack. My mom gives him the look of death and takes them back.

Mom: I done told y'all asses don't eat my damn jello-

As she's rambling on, Myra stands off to the side laughing her ass off. We finally head out the door to the movie theater. We grab our tickets, and take out seats right before the movie starts. While the movie is playing, Myra is talking back to the screen while smacking on a fruit roll up.

"Bitch, get out the trunk and run before he digs yo ass up....ugh, white bitches." She says as someone shuses her and rolls her eyes.

"OMG Chris she ain't run yet...why is she still in there?"

I chuckle a little bit wheb someone else shuses Myra again. Myra rolls her eyes, stands up and directs her attention to the person shushing her behind us.

"Bitch you shush me one more time, you're gonna be the next bitcb missing. Try me..."

Trey and I pull her down and shut her up. I'll be damned if we get kicked out because of her. We watch the rest of the movie and make our way out. As we're listening to Myra rant about the movie, my phone ringsin my pocket. I hear Dance For You playing, so I know Kamaal is calling me.

"Hey baby." I say as I answer the phone

"Hey bae. You left the movies yet?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna drop Myra and Trey off, and I'll be over there in a few."

"Aight lil buddy. I'll see you later." He says aa he hangs up.

I hang up the phone and connect it to the car charger. I look up and and see Myra and Trey looking at me with their arms folded.

"What?" I say as I stare back at them

"So you bout to ditch us for some boy?" Myra asks

"Yeah, pretty much." I say with a smile on my face.

"What happened to bros before hoes?" Trey says as he laughs

"Well I'm gonna ask for a free pass on this one."

"Fuck that....I know he's attractive and everything, but we were here first.

We continue arguing and we pull up to Myra's house. Myra and Trey live in the same neighborhood. I put my car in park, and motion for them to get out of my car.

"Nope, I'm not finna be treated like some random hoe." Myra says with her arms folded

"Well tonight you will be, now get out so I can get to my man."

"Fine, be that way....Trey, let's go inside and watch Lifetime movies."

"I'm not staying if we watch that bull shit." Trey says

Myra rolls her eyes, and they both get out the car.

"BYYYYE CHRRRRRIS"

I wave to both of them, and pull out of Myra's driveway.  A few minutes later, I pull up to Kamaal's house, turn of my car, lock the door, and make my way to the front door. I let myself in and walk to his room. I see him in his room playing video games. I clear my throat to get his attention. He looks at me and a smile appears across his face.

Kamaal: Wassup bae?
