The Problem Child

Chapter Three ( Continued )

6th grade ... I was a bad ass . Let me elaborate a little .. So at the time , one of my older sisters , Shay , & her daughter , Borah , had moved from Stamford to the West Side of Bridgeport .. Howe Ave to be exact . Her house was like the pit-stop house . EVERY weekend I was over there , along w/ some of our cousins , other nieces & nephews , & friends . She lived on the first floor so we had access to like everything ! Actually we did , because upstairs on the second floor .. lived my Boraah's dad's cousins , Jeremiah , Shy , Jaheim ( Brothers ) Tina , & Gilbert ( Bf & Gf ) . Tina & Gilbert's oldest son , Jeremiah was dating my niece , Shady ( who's the same age as me ) . But at the same time , he had like the biggest crush on me .. Jeremiah , Shy ( the second oldest ) & Jaheim ( the youngest ) had just moved in w/ their mom & dad after living w/ their grandmother in Florida for a little while .. You could tell they lived down south because Jeremiah's accent was heavy .. He looked & talked like Soulja Boy , except Jeremiah was a little darker . Anyways , it was kind of like a love triangle .. my little sister Kayla , had the BIGGEST crush on Shy buuuut .. he had the BIGGEST crush on me .. I mean I didn't like either of em .. I had broken up w/ Marcel & then I had my eyes on Ronaldo .. he was a cute little thang . He was kind of short , but taller than me .. had braids .. & he only lived on the next street over from my sister , in a blue house . We went out for a little while , but then he wanted to fvck so I had to break it off .. He only wanted to fvck because of my rep. .. let me tell you a little bit more about my reputation on the west ...

Okay , so let me tell you straight off the back .. YES , I was still a virgin .. I was just very freaky .. It was to the point where , Freaky Girl x Gucci Mane ft Nicki Minaj & Lil Kim was my theme song .. DON'T get it twisted , I didn't do anything sexual .. it was just things I said that made people believe I was a freak ... Because of my rep. I had niggas & females wantin to be w/ me .. of course , I turned everyone down though . I ain't have time for all laht . Anyways , there was Anthony .. little Anthony . He was black & had greenish , brown eyes , blondish , brownish hair , & he was light skin .. He kind of looked like a young version of Michael Ealy , only if Ealy had blond - brownish hair . But Anthony also had the biggest crush on me .. He would always grabs my titties & butt any chance he got .. Smh , little boys I tell you .. I mean I would've dated him if he was a little older & wasn't so flirty & touchy . Smh , on the west , I was always surrounded by boys .. I tried to hide & get away but they just always seemed to follow me .. One time they even threatened to gang up on me & try to rape me ... I wasn't havin that ! So I avoided everybody & eventually the tension died down .. But of course Shy still had a crush on me .. & of course , since my sister liked him ... She pretty much hated my guts . Shady , Jeremiah , & pretty much everyone was begging me to go out w/ Shy .. I didn't want to but the pressure & agginess was serious -__- so when he asked me out , for the 100th time , I said yes .. He was like in love with me , but I barely liked him .. & the grimey part about it was that while Jeremiah was dating my niece & I was dating his brother .. Jeremiah was still low-key tryna get w/ me .. Strangely my niece was okay w/ her bf having a crush on me bc she said that I was very pretty , so who wouldn't be ? After awhile , I broke up w/ Shy bc his feelings were becoming too strong & I didn't want him to get the wrong idea ...

* PAUSE *

I need to tell yall about my niece , Shady , real quick . Me & Shady ? Were INSEPARABLE . We did EVERYTHING together .. We were each other's back-bone , human diary , everything . We were the same height , too . She had was darker than I was , & had a bigger butt . I know , it's weird having a niece/nephew the same age or older than you , but that was my baby .

* PLAY *

After I broke up w/ Shy , it was awkward seeing him every weekend .. He looked so sad & well I .. I felt bad but what was the point of being in a relationship when you had no feelings for the person , ya know ? Anyways , as time went on .. I eventually met Jay ( at the time Jeremiah's best friend ) . Wheeew , let me telllll you about Jay .. He was about 5'9 , sexy af ! , full blooded Jamaican , fair colored skin , nice , neat braids , & his swag ? was A1 ! .. as soon as I seen him & heard his little accent .. I instantly like fell in love lol .. but naa , forreal . I had the , biggest , crush , on him ! He was a freshman in highschool , so of course he thought I was too young for him .. But he did find me attractive . But at the same time , he had a crush on my niece -___- but she remained faithful to Jeremiah , of course . After that though , summer time hit ! We partied almost everyday at Shay's house & had lots of sleepovers , etc . A lot of shit went down .. from Jeremiah accidentally getting drunk ,.. up until Shay & Shady's mom fighting the next door neighbors . There were so many kids in that neighborhood , lol everyday there was something new . I remember the time too , when Maine , Jay & Jeremiah's friend , came outside w/ his bb gun . Me , Kayla , & the rest of us were sitting on Tina & Gilbert's porch & Maine started shooting at us ... We all ducked so fast & Kayla broke the glass table .. Talk about crazy ..

But anyways , let me tell you about a few other of my nieces & nephews . I already mentioned Borah .. there's also Terrika , Kiyah , Dave ( who's also the same age as Shady & I ) , Jordan , Joshua , Isaiah , Shaniya , & Dev ( who are all Shady's brothers & sisters ) . There's more than just these , but at this time .. these were the ones I was around the most . They were off the hook , especially the girls .. Smh , they knew like every dance & always came around talking about some little boy who was supposed to be their bf .. talk about GROWN >_> But soon the summer died down , & was time to go back to school . So of course , everyone stopped going to Shay's house by then , & everyone kind of separated .. I was starting 7th grade ...
