My Brother Joey

Start of the Day

"Alright dad, see ya later!"

"Okay! Bye Reggie, Keshawn and Daylin. Y'all have a good day at school!" We all simultaneously reply "Okay!" I start walking up the street and Daylin yells "Reg! Hold up bro! You gotta stay with us."

"Why? You're not the boss of me!" Keshawn chimed in "Reggie just wait till we get up there! Stop being so complicated bro! That's why you always in trouble or getting beat up on cuz you don't listen!"

"I'm not even doing nothing! Like wtf!" I began to tear up and Daylin smirked and said "Awww the wittle baby boutta cry? Aww boo boo wanna tissue punk?" I started whimpering and said "Leave me the fuck alone!" Then I walked faster to school. Keshawn ameliorated the situation a little bit but didn't make much of a change in the tone between Daylin and I. He said "Bro Daylin why you always starting some shit with him! You just wanna fight him don't cha?"

"Bro get that shit outta here! Ion wanna hear none of that bullshit! He do shit that irritate me and he knows it pisses me off. But to be honest, I don't know why you sticking up for him when he be snitching on you? You know he be telling on us."

"He barely snitches on me cuz we stay in the same room! And he know's since we sleep in the same room, I can get revenge that night or the next time I see him."

I pulled the school door open and walked in. As I was approaching my class, this guy named Tyion walked up to me and said "Wassup lil dude! I heard you was a lil fruit cup. Is that true?" I felt a bit intimidated so I backed up a bit and he inched forward. I stood there staring at the ground and he said "Oh so you not gonna answer me?" I looked up at him in his dark hazel eyes and trimmed goatee face that replied with a look of fear. He punched the locker and said "Get the fuck outta my face. I walked around Tyion and slipped into my classroom. Tyler, my best friend, saw my frightened face and asked "What's up bro, you look like you've been scared by somebody?"

It had to had to happen. A teardrop fell from my eye and then Tyion walked into the class. I wiped my tears away and Tyler said "Bro tell me who it was?" I tersely responded "Tyion!" Then I got up and walked outta the classroom. The teacher, Mr. McCullen, yelled "Reggie get back in here or I'm call your dad!" I ignored him and pulled out my phone and texted Joey. 

'Joey this dude at school is accusing me of being a fruitcake'

'Reggie what?'

'I had just walked into school and he walked up to me and said he heard that I was a fruit cake and I didn't reply then he punched the locker and said to get the fuck outta his face. I'm scared of him!'

'Text Daylin, I'm not at home and I'm not gonna leave work to come to your school to maybe beat someones ass or yell at someone."

'Joey pleeaassee!! I'm scared of him! He's in 10th grade and I'm a 6th grade!'

'Omg Joey I just wanna go home!'

'No you gone text Keshawn or Daylin then text me back' 

'Joey please come get me' Joey didn't text back. I started to tear up and then Tyler came out to me and asked "What's wrong Reg? If it's about what happened between you and Tyion, don't worry about it. He's not gonna mess with you anymore!" I wiped my face and questioned "How do you know?"

"Because I do! He just does that to scare people and make people fear him so when he does want/need something he can have it done by the people who're scared of him. Trust me Reggie, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
