STRAIGHT OUTTA SOUTH CENTRAL (Eazy-E & N.W.A Story)

Chapter 12: Skateland

Tamera

"Tamera!" I heard my brother Anthony yell for me.

"What?" I yelled back.

"Telephone for you!"

I got of my bed then ran to the living room. Anthony handed me the phone then walked into the kitchen.

"Hello?" I said putting the phone to my ear.

"Hey T," Eazy responded on the other line.

"Hey. Wassup E?"

"Nothing. But we need to talk."

"About what?"

"You remember Jerry Heller?"

"Yeah he's our manager."

"He got us to do a concert at Skateland tonight. There's gonna be people there that run big time record labels."

"Damn that's great! You said its tonight?"

"Yeah. All of N.W.A has to be there so that means you better show up."

"Yo man relax you know I'll be there."

"Good. Wear all black too. You need a ride?"

"Yeah. I got a feeling that my brothers won't give me one."

"That's cool. I'll be at your place around 8."

"Thanks E. This is gonna be dope."

"Bet. I gotta go."

"Bye."

I hung up. Anthony entered the living room.

"Who was that on the phone?"

"Uh, a friend."

"Boyfriend?"

"Hell no! I don't have a boyfriend."

"Hmm. Then who was the boy?"

"Why do you assume its a boy?"

"Cause you don't have girl friends."

"True. But still its no big deal."

"But still I wanna know who he is."

"Eazy. Remember him?"

"Yeah. Why can't you hang out with guys your own age?"

"I'm gonna be 18 in August, I'll be an adult in a few months. So what if E is a few years older than me."

"Whatever T. Where you going tonight?"

"Skateland with the boys."

"Boys?"

"Come on Anthony you know I'm not gonna do anything."

"You're going with group of boys!"

"Anthony."

"Fine. You just better still be a virgin when you come home."

"That's a deal we can make."

It was 8:34 and the show was starting at 9:00. The 6 of us walked into Skateland looking fly as hell. We walked backstage where Eazy told us to meet. After security let us in I spotted an old white guy talking to Eazy. He must be Jerry. None of us have met Jerry yet, E has only talked about him and showed us a picture of him.

"Aye fellas... and T," Eazy said getting our attention. "Y'all got any idea why I asked y'all to wear all black? Cause we're an all star group. That means we gotta sound like one, act like one, dress like one." We all looked at Yella who was wearing a Lakers jersey. "You mind telling me what the fuck happened in your situation?"
