________________________________________________



Kiana POV:




The alarm rang, 5:30am. A sticky note was tapped to my forehead, it read 'Morning Ma, left early back home to go get dressed. See your a_ss at school;)'.

I entered the bathroom running a hot shower. Today wasn't going to be hot but breezy, so I decided to wear skin tight jeans, floral knitted top, and mint green sneaker wedges.

I finished up spraying myself with the Pink Friday perfume and putting my hair in a tight high bun.

I got to the kitchen seeing everyone already there, eating, I was always last to wake up.

"Morning, I see you two are still good.."

"Why wouldn't we be?" Ray said quickly.

"Mhm"

"Alrighty that was weird, lets go now and this time I'm driving the escalade to school" Liz got her keys as we followed.


-

We went to our lockers taking our 1st half classes belongings replacing them with the 2nd half classes belongings. I closed my locker, locking it, and right when I turned around Lucas pushed me gently against the lockers, kissing me.

"Morning Ma, told yah I'd see you"
He smiled

"Well duh" I snickered.

I hugged Liz and Ray saying my goodbyes. It was a B-day schedule.
Lucas held me close to him walking me to the cafe.

"Listen ma-"

"Why do you stay calling me 'ma' lol" I said stopping in my tracks.

"Because the first day I met you, I called you ma, therefore and so on. I like calling you ma, ma." He flashed his bright smile. His lips were just so plump and pink.

I smiled continuing to walk to the cafe. I got a bagel w/ cream cheese while Lucas got a cinnamon bun w/ a milk carton. He decided for us to sit with his little friends.

His friends seemed cool. There was André, Malick, Khi, Deshawn, Diddy, and Tuna. From time to time, Diddy would glance up at me smiling. I had to admit he was cute but it was making me feel uncomfortable.


The bell rung signaling it was first period. We threw our trash out walking to first period which was Social Studies. Kill. Me. Now.



As we do in every class, we chose to sit in the far back. I don't know why but it's like all classes are segregated. The cafe is even set up like that since there are two cafes.

Ms. Begetis started her intro and just kept blabbering on and on about the Middle Ages. I slouched deeper into my chair smacking my lips. Lucas put his hands on either side of my face playing with my head.

I threw my hand back smacking him in his face. "ouch! better watch yourself"


"Lucas, Kiana, why are you talking in my class"

"Because we got mouths" I replied smartly.

"Girl you better watch your tone. I will fail you" She shook her head and fingers in a sassy motion.

I rolled my eyes playing with my nails paying her no attention.






Ray POV:




I still feel guilty about not telling Liz about cheating on her and possibly getting another girl pregnant. It's been gnawing me in the a-ss for the longest. Today Melinda and I were suppose to go get DNA tested.

Liz and I were walking to our first period class because we decided to get Dunkin' Donuts first. We were walking down the hallway when who? Melinda decides to walk by.

"Heyy Rayan" she said & waved flirtatiously.

I ignored her continuing to walk with my arm around Liz's waist. I felt Liz's stare piercing through my face. "Yes?"

"Who is she?"

"Melinda? She's just someone I met in gym class. Nothing to worry about babe" I kissed her forehead reassuring her.

She hugged my stomach smiling away. How could I just lie to straight in her face. Did I feel bad? Yes! terribly.

--(skipping all class periods)--


It was the end of the day and I had to come up with an excuse to leave with Melinda. The project. That's it, I will tell Liz that I'm going over Jacob's to finish our essay!

"I'm going over-" we both said in unison.

"Go first" she gestured.

"I'm going over Jacob's to finish the English essay."

"For what? you guys know everything about each other, y'all grew up together. And what I meant to say was I guess I'm going over Nolen's to finish the assignment because I need that A."

"Well I don't know everything about him boo. I'm taking the escalade too. And do you really have to go over that nigga's-house?" I stopped her, holding both of her hands, facing her.


"Yes and he's not a nigga-." she rolled her eyes playfully.

She kissed me goodbye before she left to find Nolen. I should really beat his ass- up. As soon as I got in the car the passenger side was being opened by Melinda.

"Were you following me?" I rolled my eyes starting the car up.

"Yes. Problem? and I hope to not be the one to tell your precious little girlfriend that you impregnated another girl!"

This was going to be a long ride.





Elizabeth POV:


I dreaded going to his house again after the incident but I needed this easy A. I walked along the back parking lot spotting his car.

I walked over hopping in the passenger. I set my bag beside my foot just looking around. I felt Nolen's gaze so I broke my neck returning the stare. "Yes?!"

He simply shook his head driving away. In matter of minutes, we arrived. I got out before he could, walking straight into his house up to his room. I knew my way.

I sat down in a chair this time at his desk awaiting his arrival. He entered looking at me crazy. "How the hell-- you just come up here?"

"I walked."

"That shit-- blows me" he passed his hand through his hair smirking.

"Alright we HAVE to get some work done because it's due next Tuesday."

"Ok start"

I gave him a stare slowly turning my head to read the questions I've made up.

"What is your govt name?"
"My govt name is Nolen Camir"

"How many brothers and sisters you have?"
"I got 2 other brothers one younger and one older. And I got 1 older sister"

"Mhm. Ok"

After all of the questions I've asked him, we finally got to the last one.

"What was your past like, like, through you and your family or anybody. Be honest."

He sighed rubbing the back of his neck. "Aight...so my dad is a drug dealer and isn't really in my life as much. Since I was born I haven't really seen him around because he had to not lead a trail to me. He claimed he only left because he was protecting us. Bullshit if you ask me. If you really loved your family you wouldn't continue being a drug lord, it's simple to get out-"
I cut him off to correct him.


"Correction, it's not easy getting out of the game. I have a...friend...who was in the game and she tried escaping it, that didn't end up well. She ended up getting kidnapped, raped, abused, and shot at many times. Having niggas_ on your tail all the time, which has affected me too because niggas_ are on my tail now. It's not easy as it looks."


"Well damn. Sorry. But let me continue...Anyway, he came back one time just to see my mom and ended up getting her pregnant. My younger brother came along. He just sends us money to make sure were fine, financially. But my mother seems depress and isn't really here most of the time. So basically people are after me too. I just want him to say 'I love you son. You can always count on me"



I was shocked. Behind that gorgeous face was hurt and no fatherly figure.


"Wow. I'm sorry that happened." I said as I wrote down the last words to his life story.


"Now tell me about yourself" He got pen and paper getting comfortable on his bed.

"My name is Elizabeth Michelle Miller. I love the color green. I was born and raised here in Connecticut. I have an older brother but he is in the army, I have no memory of him."

"Alright. Do you have a life story?" He said jotting down notes.

"Well, since I was little my dad always would abuse and rape me, but never around my mom. My mom never knew about this because she'd always be out. I would get raped every week-every month- or every three months. I was locked in my room one day and Ray came to rescue me and from there we ran away together. My dad was PIST and by leaving I didn't know it'd affect my mom as well. Long story short my dad killed my mom infront of me, kidnapped me raping and abusing me for...I forgot. We killed him, and another dude but we didn't know he didn't die so he's after us." I finished taking a long breath.


"They were also from the game...Not my full full story but you get it" I added.

He sat there looking at me with wide eyes, jaw opened. "Wow! you've been through more than me. But damn, your dad is a jerk. But what do you mean when you say 'we'?"


"He is. Even though he got killed, I'm actually grateful he's gone. Don't worry about that" I chuckled.


"Well at least we got some info, I'm actually getting sleepy.." I yawned.

I walked over to his bed, falling back staring at the ceiling.

"Me too. I've been tired all day in class"

"I think I'm gunna crash"

"Same"

We positioned ourselves the right way as I got under the sheets. I faced the window covering my mouth with my hand which was a habit. I pulled the sheets up to my neck to be only pulled back down to my shoulder. I pulled it back up to it being pulled back down.

I pulled it back up and it stayed that way. "You know who's daddy." I said cockily. I faced him to see he was already sleep. I decided to fall asleep also.
