cara arrived home and waited for john to come over. as she set her backpack down on the floor, she was getting a call from jordyn. 

"hey jordyn." she answered, balancing the phone between her ear and shoulder. 

"what you doing?" jordyn asked quickly. 

"waiting for john, why what's up?"

"something's off with him and nate, i swear." jordyn replies. 

cara furrows her eyebrows, "what are you talking about?"

jordyn shook her head, "long story short i had a weird encounter with skate today and he gave me a wrong feeling." she frowned. "you know nate and his crew are never up to no good." 

cara smiled at her best friend's protectiveness. "i appreciate you looking out for me, but you know how i feel about guys ever since my dad. john's nice company but he's not boyfriend material and you know it." 

"oh, i'm not?" 

cara jumped, quickly spinning around to see swazz standing behind her. her eyes widened, "uh jordyn i'll call you back." she said, quickly before hanging up. "john-"

"so i'm not boyfriend material?" he repeated her words, crossing his arms across his chest. 

"i didn't-" she sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "i didn't mean it like that."

"so what? i'm not good enough for little miss perfect?" he spat. 

cara quickly pulled her eyebrows together, "woah, woah, woah, stop there. i don't know why you're getting upset that i said you weren't boyfriend material, were you trying to date me?"

john scoffed, "no. stop thinking you're all this and that. news flash, not everybody wants you." he rolled his eyes. 

"i said anyone did!" cara countered back. 

"plus, you're not my type, i don't like my girls snobby."

cara's jaw gaped, "you of all people know i'm not snobby!" 

john snorted, "well the way you're acting proves otherwise."

cara groaned as she shot daggers towards the boy who basically broke into her house. "i knew this was a bad idea. i should've never associated myself with your kind."

swazz's eyes went wide slightly, "my kind?" he snorted. "so now you think you're better than me?" he cocked head to the side. 

"that's not what i'm saying-" jordyn tried getting out but swazz interrupted her. 

"you think anyone who's not in your little group of hoes is less than you are?" he spat. 

cara's fist balled at her sides as the anger rose inside of her. john had no room to talk, his whole group of friends practically fucked the whole female population. "get the fuck out my house." she ordered. 

"gladly." swazz spat back, quickly leaving cara's household. he was more pissed than every.

he thought it would've been a good idea to come in without cara knowing so he could scare her. he was about to do it but then when he heard his name in the conversation, he stopped. he had smirked at the thought of cara talking about him to her friends. when she said he was not boyfriend material he became mad. 

he punched the steering wheel when he was inside his car. whatever feelings john had for cara were gone, she needed to be taught a lesson. swazz knew he still needed the money, so he'd had to fix things up and sleep with her quickly. no girl was going to come between him and his mom.
