We're currently getting ready for graduate and I'm so ready for this to be over with like literally.

"You ready to get this over with." Elijah ask me.

"Hell yeah. So glad school is over. No more waking up so fucking early in the morning."

"Yass, walking up at 6 o'clock is not the business."

"It's really not. On top that we didn't learn shit for 13 or 14 years."

"I mean we learned how to read and count, add multiple and subtract money."

"But we didn't learn how to pay bills, or a car note."

"True."

"I mad that there all the sudden the teaching kids Spanish and geometry in freaking 2nd grade and my slow ass going out the world empty handed."

"Well look on the bright side we're grown now."

"That is not a bright side for a black man." I said. I mean am I lying though that not a bright side I'm more able to go jail now just for some little ass shit like J-walking. Look at today they legalized weed but still sending black men jail for 20 years just for smoking a joint or even having it in your presence.

"Well your right about that. Let just not think about the negative right now let just be happy." He smiled at me. "You should be happy you graduate so that means no more school plus you got boyfriend on your side cheering you on."

"You absolutely right I graduate with change on my shoulders with my fine sexy ass boyfriend." I said biting my lip look him up and down.

"Bye." He said laughing. I swear he never take me serious but I love him though.

"Are y'all boys ready yet." My dad ask.

"Yes Mr. Johnson we're ready." He told my dad fixing my tie.

"You know Elijah you can call me dad or pops I mean since I know you and Big head over there are going to be together for a long time." My dad said.

"You think so MIs- I mean pops."

"I know so son." My dad smiled at us. We smiled back. No lied I see a long future with my Eli he's best thing that every happen to me honestly I really do love him even though we been knowing each for like 4 months and only been together for a month I really do love him.

Anyway after my dad said all that goody goody stuff me and Elijah family headed out.

After 2 hours of lying ass speeches, lame ass choir singing the national, listening to 680 kids names and taking pictures with family and friends we headed home to eat.

Me and Elijah family decide to have it at his house  since his backyard was big.

Hey you notice this only time black people come together for is during a get together. That some sad shit but niggas do have to work and shit.
