Pass Down The Throne

Chapter 5: Focus On The Others

Romain Kent POV
"How was the exam?" Kirsty hugged me.

"Hop off." I removed her arms from me.

"No need to be rude." She frowned and slipped away.

I smacked my teeth and rubbed my hair. I think I done really good on my test. If I keep this up, my parents will definitely get me my own beach house in Malibu. I walked towards my sister and saw her hanging out with this dude. I furrowed my brows and walked a little faster. They were laughing and shit, she ain't tell me nothing about having a boyfriend but I have to tell her?

"Hop off nigga!" I barged him out of the way.

"Romain!" Rochelle gasped and covered her mouth.

"Romain bro! What the fuck you doing?!" The guys spoke.

I squinted my eyes and recognised my nigga Kyle. We go way back!

"Kyle?! My fucking nigga!" We slapped hands.

"Mane! Coming to push me and shit!" He laughed.

"My bad bro, I didn't notice it was you. What you doing here? I thought yo' ass up and left us for Puerto Rico?" I questioned.

"Thing is, we went and shit but pops had to go and ruin the marriage. So my moms thought maybe it would be a good idea if we move back here. Plus grams is here too." He shrugged.

"Well, its good to have you back. I'll let you lovebirds catch up." I smirked.

"Lovebirds?! We are not in love! When are you gonna fucking drop that foul shit?!" Rochelle slapped me upside the head.

I smacked my teeth and laughed as I walked off. I remember back in freshmen years when there was a rumour going around that Rochelle and Kyle had it for each other. Till this day, I don't know if it's true or not. That's the only thing that I don't know but other than that, Rochelle's told me everything about anything.

Rochelle Kent POV
"They never stop, don't they?" I rolled my eyes thinking about Romain said.

"I know right." Kyle smiled showing his white teeth.

"Rochelle." I heard somebody call my name.

I turned on my heels and saw Harlem smiling showing his grills and dimples. Why do boys love wearing grills? He looked cute today. I think he's wearing the clothes that he bought--I mean he looked a'ight. He walked over to me and gave me a hug. This is something new.. He let go of me and his attention soon went over to Kyle who had his hands in his pockets.

"Where you going?" Harlem licked his lips casually.

"Going somewhere." I answered.

"Hope you ain't bunking off Kent." He kicked his feet.

"I ain't bunking off." I folded my arms and raised a brow.

"I'll catch you later, a'ight?" He licked his lips once more and gave me a side hug.

"Alright..?" I furrowed my brows as I looked at Harlem who was paying attention to Kyle the whole time.

"Earth to Harlem?" I waved into his face.

"Oh yeah.." He smiled before walking off.

"Who's that?" Kyle asked.

"Harlem. His dad nearly got us all killed last time and he's the snake. It's a long story but yeah. Uncle Ty kidnapped him and his parents ain't doing nothing to get him back. He's cool, I guess?" I shrugged.
