"You caught her doing what??" Maggie asked disgusted.

"Yuuuuup." Arnell said.

They were in the kitchen making ice cream sundaes, talking about the bullshit Arnell been through the last couple of days.

"Damn, she triflin'." Maggie said scooping some ice cream onto her spoon.

Arnell shrugged. Maggie wasn't lying. Arnell's phone vibrated the counter. She stopped what she was doing and went to go check it.

Meech 😇🍃: Wat u doin?

Arnell scoffed and put her phone faced down onto the counter.

"Damn, it's like that?" Maggie laughed.

Arnell shrugged while putting the tub of ice cream back into the freezer. They made their way back into the living room and watched TV. They were mostly talking, not even paying attention to what was on.

"You, sure you don't want Jay number?" Arnell questioned.

"Yeah, give it to me." Maggie said finally giving in. Arnell smiled. She knew damn well Maggie wanted it.

She unlocked her phone to give her the number when another message popped up on her screen.

Meech 😇🍃: i wanna c u .

Arnell smacked her lips and swiped up.

"Damn, you mean! Who texts you ignoring?" Maggie interrogated.

Arnell had been ignoring Damitri for the last couple of days. She didn't want to do him that way, she was just tired of the empty drama.

"Nobody." She answered. "Here, get ready to put it in your phone."

DAMITRI

Damitri shook his head and threw his phone on the bed. He was lowkey mad as hell that Arnell was ignoring him. He jogged down the stairs where everyone was chilling.

"Meech--" Dorian started up.

"I don't wanna hear it." Damitri replied with an attitude.

"It's about Quentin, man. Now he got some lil dude selling bad dope in our area cause of this Roscoe thing. We needa deal wit it, like now."

"Damn, D. Talk to me when I get back." He said grabbing his keys of of the island.

"I know you ain't finna go see that bitch." Dorian said boldly.

Damitri slammed the door and walked back to Dorian. "Nigga..... What?"

"Nigga, you heard me. Ever since you got caught up wit that bitch, you don't be wanting to do what we gotta do. You been tripping for weeks now."

"Nigga what are you talkin' about? I ain't caught up behind no girl, you trippin'." He said pointing at him.

" NAH, THAT BITCH GOT YOU TRIPPING!!" Dorian shouted.
