The High

Secrets

It was an early Saturday Morning James was wide awake to the smell of his mom's glorious cooking. As he rubbed his eyes and looked at her working hard in the kitchen as he walked down the stairs. He leaned into the kitchen door. "Good morning mama" he said in a shaggy voice. "Boy you finally up and it's good afternoon sweetie “she chuckled. "It's almost twelve and them boys been around the block looking for you" she added. "For realll...." he yawned.”Well I will see them later" he stepped in the kitchen. Looking around to see waffles, scrambled eggs with cheese, with Bacon on the side sitting on the stove. "Your foods on the table" his mom pointed out to the table as she headed back to the stove. He sat at the table and picked his food. It was as if he was hungry but he wasn't. The stress from the incident had made him on full awareness. His mom looked at him as he sat still at the table. “Baby you OK?" she asked worried." I'm alright ma" "you sure?" she asked not believing him. "I am good ma” he said getting up from the table. "I'm going for a run around the hood" he yelled heading up the stairs. He put on some running shorts and shoes grabbed his iPod and headed out of the door. He needs to clear his head from the stress he had been getting from school. Running down the road of his street he was running for a good 15 minutes when Zack pulled up riding beside him. He noticed the car and stopped taking out his headphones. "Wassup Lil bra!” Zack shouted rolling down the window. “Nothing chilling.” “You good?" James asked walking to the car. "Man of course I'm good I ate all them shit and got back up but one of them niggas hit me in My lip a lil bit but I ain't stressing it ya feel me?" Zack laughed making a joke of what happened to him. " long as you good man “James joked with him. " I'm good but hop in the boys meeting up at the court man. "Alright” James took a deep breath as he got in the passenger side. Zack did a u turn and headed the opposite way to the court. "Where you going?" James asked "Pick up Sam" Zack answered knowing the reaction he would get from James. “Drop me off at the crib" James said with a straight face. "Man that yo problem" Zack laughed realizing. "What you mean?" James desperate to know. “You be bitching " Zack laughed his ass off. James looked at him as he was stupid "Whatever man...” he looked away out to the window.”Promise me you gonna vibe bra" Zack asked him shoving him a little. "Yea imma chill" James mumbled. "For real because what happened the last time you promised you would chill" Zack joked. James couldn't help but laugh to at what he did they pulled into Sam's yard. Zack hooked the horn. Sam came down the steps hollering at the door. “Grandma!!! I'm gone!"
He pulled on the handle of the car and got in. "Aww damn” he said under his breath realizing that the person in the front was James. He sucked his teeth at the fact. “Was good Sam Zack said pulling off.”wassup man " Sam replied he stood in the back easing James. As Zack peeped how Sam looked in the rear view he told Sam “Isn’t gonna be none of that pressure shit today man. This strictly business you feel me?" he asked him. "Yea I feel you." Sam answered as if he wanted to say fuck that and try to fight James. "So Zack bra I really caught you slipping” Sam said. "Boy what you talking bout" Zack was curious to see what Sam's slipping. Meant. Sam smirked at Zack than began to say "Boy I see" "See what Sam?" Zack asked sounding desperate to know what. ”You tip toeing out of that girl Jada’s backyard. me and My homies crossed the street was rolling up when we see your car splurge off the corner. James looked at Zack as Zack looked at James. "You went to her house?!" James looked at him in shock as he threw his hands up. “Here comes the bitching....." Zack muttered "Come on man..." James exaggerated extremely. "Bra where was I supposed to go?!" Zack tried to make a point "Bitch you got a fucking car take her in the backseat and make shit happen. Not sneak in her house you dumbass! “James looked at him “shut up bop (James) I don't wanna hear that shit!" Zack looked at him then back at the road. James sarcastically laugh " haha one of your boys caught you slipping out of a girl you not supposed to be fucking with house. So let's say someone else saw you like somebody who lives in the fucking neighborhood!" James looked at him pointing out of the window. Sam laughed at the two go back and forth. Zack had finally pulled into the court anymore driving they probably would've ended up in a car accident from fighting in the car. They got out the car soon as Zack parked to see Juwon, Ladarius, Fly, Marc, Myles Twan, and more sitting in a huddle on the court. The boys walked you to the group and joined in. Everybody clapped each other up and said wassup. Then Zack started to speak "Alright yall boys" he started. "That shit that happened is not unacceptable you feel me and they feel real proud that it took 15 of them to handle two niggas" “Zack So why don't we roll up on them fools right now man!" one boy blurted out getting the group rowdy. “That’s what they want for us to roll up on them right now! But look man we gotta be patient with this shit. We gotta get them how they got us." Zack explained. "So what that means we lay low" another said "exactly" Zack said. Darius walked over to Zack "you sure? Bra we know where they at man" he tried to convince him. "Look Darius real G's move in silence I know you heard that shit before. Let them get their little fifteen minutes of Fame. Best thing to happen is for them to come to us and we give a welcome to where we stay at." Zack talked to Darius. "You right" Darius nodded his head. “So that's the plan wait?" Juwon asked. "Look just knows whenever I call it's on” Zack looked at everybody to make sure they understood. They all nodded and said yea. "Alright motherfuckers see yall later me and Bop sliding" Zack told everybody. "Juwon you slide with me real quick to the car. i will drop you back off." As the three walked Sam came in James path saying “I think you me an apology." he stared at him to see what he would say. James thought to himself and replied so slick saying. “I think you should move out my way I ain't got time to give you no apology nigga" he sized (looking up and down at him) Sam up. Sam clutched his hands. "Imma ask again for an apology" He said in a deeper tone. “You seem angry" James looked at him grinning. “I’m sick of you and your slick ass comments “Sam said cocking his hand back the whole court watched. As Sam launched his attacked James dogged it and Zack grabbed Sam's fist holding it then pushing him leaving him falling to the ground. “don’t ever try to put your hands on my brother" Zack looked at him as he tried to get up off the floor. The two walked off from him. "Damn y'all can't give me a ride home "Sam got up dusting his shoulders off.”No the bus runs all day" Zack said opening the car door and getting in. Juwon got in the front James in back. Zack drove a little and stopped in an alley pulled out a dime bag and some papers. “Juwon break down this bag with the grinder in the glove. Juwon pulled out a dollar and set the weed on it as he broke it down. Zack however got the wrap ready for the weed to go into. James had it down to a science how smokers did it. The whole time in the backseat he stood quiet listening to the two talks on plans and what they felt needed to be done. James blurted out of no where. "You don't get tired of that stuff?" he asked the both of them. They laughed at him. " I mean for real what is it about a stank ass plant that makes you want more?" James wondered “All I gotta say is don't knock it till you try it" Juwon said as he passed Zack the now crumbs of weed out of the dollar. Zack put it in the wrap and put on the finishing touches. Handing it to James. "You gonna hit it?" he bluffed him. James stared at the brown stick like paper "Now you know I don't smoke" James eased him. Zack and Juwon laughed "I knew you was pussy bop" Zack told him. James out of frustration grabbed the blunt. "Light me up b"James told him seeming serious. Zack pulled the lighter out if his left pocket and put it under the joint. As he lit it he instructed James to inhale and then exhale. "COUGH!! COUGH!!!" He hit it once and wound up almost choking to death. He hit it again and passed it up to Juwon. "Boy you better breath" Juwon laughed taking the blunt away. To James everything had slowed down a little. He felt lifted as if he was off the seat floating in the car. Eyes being bloodshot red & lower than a lowrider in compton. You could tell it was his first time smoking. By the time the joint burned away James was in another universe. "Aye yo bop you ever listen to that Kendrick Lamar shit while you high?" Zack laughed turning up the radio James couldn't even comprehend the words that came out of his mouth. But as soon as he heard the best m beat drop on A.D.H.D his vision became clear. "This is why they love this dumbass plant so much" he thought to himself. "Zack bra I'm hungry as fuck" James rubbed his stomach hearing it growl like a hungry dog. "He got the munchies bro" Juwon joked. “I see" Zack agreed. "Alright we will stop by McDonald's" he started his car and headed to the restaurant. Driving in the drive thru racking up on 10 cheeseburgers, 3 medium fries, and 3 dollar tea's. James at a total of 4 burgers and immediately he fell asleep in the back seat. “Bop gooking in the back" Juwon pointed at him. Bop suddenly jumped up. “Take me to Brenda house." he said with a straight face. “What you gonna do at Brenda's bra?” Zack asked curious. “What you think nigga imma hit that shit “James looked stupid. "Alright Brenda crib it is" Zack turned the car around and headed to her house. he stop across the street of her house. "Here's yo stop Boy" Zack put the car in park. James stumbled out the back of the car. Headed to the passenger window clapping them up. "Do ya thang Bop!" Juwon screamed laughing as they pulled off. James walk toward her house and up the steps. He knocked on her door rubbing his hands together. She answered opening the door and realizing it was him caught an attitude quick. She stepped out the door and closed it. There was an awkward silence and among the two until he finally spoke up “Hey Brenda " he tried to act as if everything was normal. " Hey Brenda? I get a  hey Brenda after you walked out on me and left me and......" He interrupted her and grabbed her by her waist kissing her. She tried to fight it but she couldn't resist as he had her up against the wall. “My mama's not home" she stopped. “Is she ever" he laughed. She led him into the backroom where there was a washer, dryer and a lil table. He set her up on the table kissing her on her neck as she moaned. He unbuckled his pants. "On the table?" she asked confused. “Yea now take ya pants off" he told her. “Ooooo you nasty boy." she said pulling them off. He ripped a magnum from out of his wallet and put it on in a hurry. As she laid on the table. He grabbed he thighs and put it in forcefully. She screamed "Ahhhhh” loudly in satisfaction. Not even trying to take it slow he just bashed her pussy. As she moaned loudly he wasn't even thinking about the emotion just hitting to hit. Going so fast her thighs made a clapping sound. "Shit!!!!!!" she yelled. "Awww shit imma bout to bust" he muttered. "Don't stop yet!!!" she pleaded. "Fuck that" pulled out. "Damn" he panted. Grabbing his pants washing his hands. “I’m gone... “He told her heading towards the door. "For real no goodbye kisses anything?" she said getting up off the table. "Nah I ain't yo man I'm high as fuck and a nigga was on hard. It was just me fucking no emotional connection nothing. I'm sorry if I made you feel some type of way." he told her straight up. "Wow!!!!! James imma get somebody to shoot yo ass" she said angry. “Maybe one of yo niggas can cuddle with you he said walking out the house. She grabbed a towel wrapping it around her to cover up. "Fuck you!!!!" she yelled out the door. He ignored her and kept walking down the street. He checked his phone to see what time it was. The drug started to wear off as he noticed it was getting dark. “Oh shit its 7:30” he looked shocked running to his house. He walked in to see his Mom sitting by the door. “Boy you had me nervous and scared I though you went for a run” she said in relief. “Zack picked me up while walking” he explained. “So you couldn’t call me!!!” she exclaimed. “ I’m good Ma” he tried to avoid  her constant nagging. “I’m good? Boy that is not how you speak to your mother now show me the respect I deserve” she demanded. “Yes ma” he rolled his eyes upward. “Why are yo eyes so low?” she asked and before he could think up a lie she had came to the conclusion he had been smoking. “are we done?” he asked. “Yeah that’s until your father gets home” she told him “ugh….. You always pull that until your father gets home thang” he said walking away from her and up the stairs. She began to fuss but by the time he had slammed his room door shut. He went to his dresser where he and an old radio and put in his favorite Tupac album “Me against the world” and drifted off into his dreams…
