Poison

Dropping the Ball

Chris's POV

I sat at the conference table rubbing the back of my neck as the rest of the guys did the same. The girls said that Poison had called an emergency meeting and we were to get back to the secondary house ASAP. The girls had been tight lipped about what she was going to talk about. They all stared back at us with fire in their eyes. I knew Nicki was pissed when she wouldn't let me drive here. She at me as she tapped her fingers on the table.

Chris: Nicki whatever it is I swear I didn't do it.

Nicki tilted her head to the side and looked at me serious.

Nicki: are you telling me this out of guilt or are you just afraid.

Jay: hell, I'll answer for him. None of us ain't do shit.

Wiz: he's right. All I know is it's midnight and a nigga tired. What the hell are we doing here?

Tae: shut up and maybe you'll find out sooner or later.

Toya shook her head and laughed.

Toya: which is it? Hormones, everyday shit, or this?

Tae: a mixture of it all.

Nicki: amen to that...minus the hormones of course.

We watched as they all laughed.

Poison: I'm glad you three find something hilarious.

We all looked to see Poison come in with a pissed ass look on her face.

Poison: now before anybody decides to further piss me off by asking some dumb shit. Remember this. I don't play when it comes to MY SHIT!!! KEYWORD MY!!!

All of our mouths were glued as we watched as her eyes turned black.

Poison: First thing. I told Tey and SB to sit tight since we haven't formally initiated them. Second, Trey isn't here because he escaped. He had help doing it and I found out information that was withheld from somebody in this group and I'm not too pleased.

She walked passed us and walked back.

Poison: last chance before I act a damn fool.

Silence feel the air as she walked passed me but stopped and came back.

Poison: Chris, didn't you pledge a fraternity while you were at UCLA?

Aww shit.

Chris: yeah I did. Kappa Alpha Psi.

She sat on the table next to me and crossed her arms as she looked down.

Poison: did you pledge last semester's line in?

Chris: .....No I didn't.

Poison: then who did.

Chris: I'm not inclined to say.

Poison nodded towards Nicki who reached across the table and slapped the shit out of me.

Chris: WHAT THE HELL NICKI!!!

Nicki *talking through her teeth*: TELL THE FUCKING TRUTH OR GETTING IN TROUBLE BY POISON WILL BE THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES.
