I lay in my bed and watch Isaiah, to see if he'll tell me what happened. "So what? You just not finna tell me what's wrong?"
"I just went by my mama and her new man gave me something to smoke, that's it." he says.
"Bruh, you can't just take hits from anybody's blunt."
"Yeah, but it was different.."
"You smoking crack now?" I laugh.
"Nah, but I just wanna, maybe get some from him." he says and turns over to face me.
"As long as I don't live with no drug addict, do what you want nigga." I say and get under my blanket. "Go to sleep."
"Good night." he says and smiles.
Friday during science class 4:45
"Quinten and Maya. The two of you will work together on the project."
"Why I gotta work with him. I don't even know him" She complains. "Miss, I never seen this man in my life."
"Now that's not true." I say. She gives me the most deadliest stare I have ever seen. I clear my throat and look down at my phone.
"It will be due, next week Monday, hand it in before class please. You are dismissed." The teacher says.
I catch Maya before she leaves. "Don't you think you should at least give me your number so we can plan to meet?"
"Well, yeah, but I'm not tryna give you my number." she says.
I kiss my teeth and hand her my phone. "Just put in your number, please."
She sighs out loud and puts it in my phone. "Here. Come by my apartment tonight at 7:00. Its 413 in those buildings by the park."
I nod and take my phone from her. Deep down I'm excited, I don't know why and she's kind of starting to get on my nerves at the same time. At 7:00 I reach her home and knock on the door.
"It's open." She yells from inside. "Hey." She says. She sounds happy, less irritated with everyone and everything. And she smiled. She has on a Nike sports bra, and those nice black "dick me down" shorts.
"Hey" I say and take off my shoes.
"This is Teyanna, and that's Crystal." She says and points to her friends.
"Hey. I'm Quinten." I say. I knew I recognized Crystal. She was that same girl from Tays room. "Crystal, you know Tavion right?"
"Yeah I do. That fuck boy right?" she says.
"Ha! That's my nigga." I say.
"Okay, well we need to do this bull shit assignment, so y'all can talk later." Says Maya and shoos them away. "You can sit here" She says and points to the sofa. She sits on the opposite side of the coffee table. "So what we got to do?"
"It's just long ass lab report on that experiment we had to do in partners the other day. You weren't there."
"So, why I got to do it?" She asks and squints her eyes at me.
"I don't know... but just do it."
She sighs out loud. "You want something to drink?" she asks.
"You got coolers or something" I say.
"Boy, if you want alcohol, then I'm gonna give you it straight, not no damn coolers." She says and giggles.
