In Love With A Crip

Twisted Up

Malik

"See a OVO chain probably take that shit, they said dreaming wasn't enough, we had to chase that shit" woke me up outta my sleep signaling I got a text message. I turned over in my bed and reached for my phone. The screen brightness was so bright it blinded my eyes. When I turned the brightness down I could finally see that it was 2:33am and I got a message from Makayla saying
"Hey, sorry I didn't call back but I hope your still up because I can't sleep."
I wanted to talk to her but messing with my sleep is something you just don't do. I texted her back and said "yeah I'm still up but call me 🙃." I didn't think she would respond as fast as she did but as soon as I put my phone on my dresser it began to buzz rapidly. I grabbed the phone and answered.
"Hello."
"Hey." She said with a sleepy voice that I thought was so cute.
"So just cause you can't sleep, you think you can ruin mine huh ."
"Noo, I just remembered I was suppose to call you back and I didn't." She responded with a slight laugh.
"Mm. You going to school tomorrow?" I asked trying to start conversation.
"Yeah but I don't know what I wanna wear so I might be late. You ?"
"Yeah I'm going. You think you can match my fly?" I asked in a curious voice.
"Nigga bye. Call it and watch how I cut up." She said in a playful tone.
"Ripped Balmain jeans, white Gucci polo shirt, and legend blue 11s."
"Aii, I gotchu." She said with a little laughter. We talked on the phone until we both got sleepy and fell asleep again.

As my alarm went off on my phone I got out my bed and stretched my arms above my head. I walked into my bathroom and turned on my speaker to play music while I got ready. 'Deja Vu' by J.Cole played first on my playlist. I turned on the shower and walked out my bathroom to go into my closet. While the water was heating up I picked out my clothes.  I always started with what shoes I wanted to wear then pants and then shirt. I grabbed my bred 11s then saw my taxi 12s. I sat both pairs aside and then looked through my clothes. I grabbed my red Nike joggers, a plain black T-shirt, and the zip up hoodie that matched my joggers. I guess I'm wear my bred 11s today I thought. I put my taxi 12s back on my shelf and walked out my closet. I dropped my clothes on the bed and sat my shoes on the floor then went back in the bathroom to handle my business. When I got done in the bathroom, I unplugged my phone from the speaker and began to get dressed. I sat on my bed with just my pants on and started scrolling down my TL to see a picture that Malik had posted just this morning. It was a screenshot of how long he and Makayla had been on the phone. The picture made my heart pump rapidly. Questions and assumptions began to build up in my head. I locked my phone and threw it across the bed with very little force. I put my shirt and jacket on then grabbed my watch and 3 gold chains with 3 different pendants on them off my dresser. I picked my phone up off the bed and then walked out my room. I walked in the kitchen and slung my refrigerator open and grabbed a Gatorade. I got a Philly cheesesteak hot pocket and threw it in the microwave. I walked into the living room and grabbed my book bag off the couch. The microwave beeped repeatedly signaling the hot pocket was done. Grabbed my Gatorade, hot pocket, keys and walked out my apartment heading to my car. Being in high school and living alone is rare but I worked for it.

Makayla

Malik and I had been on the phone all night talking about any and everything, but he failed to tell me about Ashley. Malik posted a screenshot of how long we had been on the phone and tagged me in it. I thought it was cute until I got a couple of follow request and looking under the picture. Their were comments like "You gone get that bitch fucked up." "You fucking the new girl already." "What happened to Ashley Fam." "Ashley gone beat yo ass shawty." Just things that really pissed me off. Nobody knows me but their so quick to past judgment. I walked in school and on my way towards the bathroom I saw a group of girls mean mugging me from across the hall. In the back of my head I knew it had something to do with Malik but I wasn't going to let that phase me. Just a group of hating bitches in my eyes. While touching up my hair in the mirror I get a text from Malik and a attachment.  I unlocked my phone to see a picture of his outfit and a text that said "Did you match my fly?"
Even though I was catching mean mugs from bitches, I wasn't going to act like a bitch. I texted him back saying "😍😍 baby boy cut up but just wait until you see me😉." I finished my touch ups and then headed to my first class.

Malik

"Nigga Ima call you when I'm ready." I said as I shut Teeko's car door heading into school. Of course like usual I was a good hour late so I had to go to the office for a pass. As I was headed to the office, I ran into this bitch nigga King. It was the perfect opportunity to beat that nigga ass. The halls were empty and no authority was around. We looked each other in the eyes as we walked by each other. Damn I wanted to stick that nigga. I shook my head and continued to the office. I unlocked my phone to see a message from Makayla asking where I was. Just so happened while I was typing I ran right into her. Literally.
"Damn. Excuse you." She said looking annoyed. I chuckled and bit my bottom lip as I looked her up and down. She wore a white thrasher t-shirt, black jeans that showed what she really had going on back there and legend blue 11s. Shorty really looked like a certified bad bitch. She wore big gold hoop earrings, a gold Jesus piece chain, a gold MK watch and to top it all off...gold bottoms in her mouth. She knew she looked good just like I knew she looked good.
"Damn ma, you really did cut up." I said leaning against the wall starring at her with a smirk. She looked away shyly soon as her cheeks turned red.
"Thank you Malik." She said as she swung her hair lightly moving it out the way.
"When you gone let me take you home." I said standing back up from the wall.
"I'll let you know when, but right now I need to get to my class." She said as she walked away. My eyes followed her as she walked down the hall. A smile came up on my face and I didn't even know it. I shook my head and threw my dreads back out my face and continued to the office. Walking into the office to get a pass, 3 police officers were in the hall and a fourth officer at the front door with a K9. I hate dealing with the police and the bullshit that comes with them so I hurried and got my pass and continued to class.
