I look at my phone and see two messages from Isaiah:

12:15- I know you I class so I don't expect you to reply, but when you get home I won't be there. I just went to help my mama, something happened.

12:16- I should be home around 3:00. There's some leftover food in the fridge I didn't eat from today, you can eat it if you want it.

"Isaiah texted me, he said something happened with his mama so he went to go see her" I say to Tay and sit next to him on the couch.

"Everything's okay though?" he asks.

"He didn't say nothing else, so I hope so." I turn on the TV. "What you tryna watch?" I ask.

"Lets play 2K" Tavion says and turns on my ps4. His phone rings and the name " Crystal" shows up.

"who's Crystal?"

"Just one of Maya's hoe friends" he says. "That same girl with the wack sex."

"The cute dark skin girl who left your dorm?" He nods. " All because she over heard you on the phone saying virgins cant fuck." I say and laugh out loud. He rolls his eyes at me. We play for about an hour and a half before Isaiah comes home.

"Aye Tavion, what's up?"

" Nothing, we just been here playing"

"A'ight cool. Hey pretty boy." He says and pushes my head. Did he really just call me pretty in front of Tavion. I think he's doing this to get on my nerves.

"Hey" I say.

"Did you eat the food?" Isaiah asks me and puts a grocery bag on the table.

"No" I say. I try my hardest not to converse with him.

"Quinten, you not even trying. You bouta lose boy" Tay says.When the game ends he leaves.

"I got class at 5:00 tonight by the way Quin." Isaiah says.

"Okay" I reply.

"Can you stop being to dry. I know, I touched you, its awkward for you now, but that was two days ago. Get over it and stop being petty." He says annoyed at me. " I'm gonna go nap bought you some Cheetos too by the way."He walks into the room and gets in his bed.

Less than a minute later, I hear a loud thump on the ground and him scream like a little girl. I quickly get off the couch and go to the room. "What happened?!" I ask.

He had jumped out of his bed and his leg got caught on the blanket, so he fell to the ground. He sat on the floor and stared at the wall. "There's a spider on the fucking wall. I turned and I saw it."

"Really nigga.." I say and begin to walk towards the door.

"Wait! Kill it. Please." he pleads. One thing that annoys me about Isaiah, is his arachnophobia. I'm always killing spiders for him.

I kiss my teeth. "Whatever". I grab a Kleenex from the box on his night stand and kill the spider. "Happy?" I say as I through the Kleenex in the trash.

Isaiah nods and stands up. "Ouch" he says and rubs the back of his head.

"I don't understand you" I say and shake my head.
