Later that day

I can truly say I only have 1 friend. And that's Linda. She's 28.She's from Mexico . came to America about 10 years ago. We're"business partners" she buys the stuff and I re-sell the stuff. We usually meet at our spot everyday at 7:20-ish

Linda: aye, mija what happened to your face?

Me: don't worry bout it.

Linda: who did it? I could have some of my boys tear that ass up.

Me: no, it's cool.

Linda: at least tell me who did it

Me: my dad.

Linda: I've told you time and time again. Get out of there. You could live with me in the crack house

The crack house is where we keep all the stuff. It has running water, heat and everything, it's just a little run down and abandon.

Me: I told you no. I don't Ty around that stuff.

Linda: alright. I respect that.

Me: thanks. What we got today?

Linda: basic. Nothing special.you calculated the profit from the last night.

Me: damn,I forgot. I'll do it now

Linda: where ya calculator at?

Me: I am a calculator.

Linda: well excuuuse me.

Me: alright so the stuff cost $250. I sold 5 $10 2 $15 14 $20 and 3 $100. So $660 and makes profit $410 so $205 for each of us.

Linda: aye, we make more money than strippers

Me: don't get cocky. Last night was just luck.

Linda: oh phooey. We're getting popular.

Me: that's not good. Gotta keep it small.

Linda: think small, get small, stay small. Think big, get big, and stay big.

Me: I have yet to believe in your little motto, Lin.

Linda: ah, 2 o'clock.

Me: blues?

Blues=cops

Linda: no, dark blues.

Dark blues= under cover cops=the worst.

U.Cc: Hey,WASSUP. y'all selling any Marihuana?

Me: OMG, no. That's bad for you.

Linda: yeah. Do you know what that does to your brain?!

U. Cc: *walks away*

Me: their slang is always terrible

Linda: no, not all of em. That's how my boy H got arrested. Thought he was selling some weed to some normal guy but he turned out to be a cop.

Me: sad.

Linda: hey, I'll see you tomorrow.

Me: alright. Bye.

From 7:30am until 1pm I go to the library and read. From 1pm to 3:30 I go home to get some rest. Then that gives me an hour to go pick up Ty. chill with her at home, help her with homework, make her dinner, and get her ready for bed. Then back out to sell. On Saturdays, I sell from 12am til 3am then go home to rest. Wake up to hang with Ty all day long. ❤️. Sundays we go to church. I don't sell on Sundays Then,restart the cycle.

Library

Librarian: YN. You're right on time.

Me: as always.

L: hey I got some new Biology book shipments earlier.

Me: really?

L: yeah, I thought you'd like them.

Me: yeah, where are they?

L: second science aisle.

Me: thanks.

L: no problem.

I come to the library so much, me and librarian kinda have a bond. She knows what books,novels and authors, subjects, and genres I like
