The Come Up

Chapter 2

"Come on Monta.." I was so frustrated. I knew not to let that nigga come over. What if Monta would have got hold of that stuff? What if Monta would have ate it? Maybe Im just thinking of the worst. "Nanna.. We getting Mc Donalds?" "Not today.. You want something else?" "But I want burritos." "Ughhh.. Fine Monta.." He smiled and we went to Mc Donalds.

"Welcome to Mc Donalds. May I take your order?" I ordered the original. I pulled my money out and drove up to the window. Then Zadarius walked up. "What's up babygirl?" I gave him my money. "You not gon speak?" "I have nothing to say.." He just looked at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes. "Can we have our food?" Then Sex Me by Bando Jones came on. Monta turned it all the way up.. "Demonta.." He looked at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes and Zadarius hung my food out the window. I took it and looked in the bag. "Text me when you get to school Alexus." I drove off. "Nanna.. Why you not talking to him?" "You ain't gon understand Monta... Hey.. You remember when Dion took us to the zoo and you was scared of the monkeys." "Yes! I thought they were going to eat me... I don't want to go back." I laughed. Still talking about animals, we pulled up to the school. "Well have a good day Stank.." "Okay. Love you Nanna." He hugged me, kissed my cheek, and grabbed his food. "Love you too." He smiled and closed the door. I watched him in the door and drove off. Then I drove to school jamming August Alsina. I was in my zone today.

I pulled up and got out with a smile. Tatyana walked up to me. "Heyy Alexus.." "What's wrong?" She just put her head down and walked beside me. I stopped her. "Tell me.." "Your going be mad at me.." "No I'm not just say it..." "Me and Kebo did it and I feel bad about it.. The worst part is he don't even want me... He told me last night that he wants you." My whole day changed. "Really Tatyana?" She looked me in my eyes and I knew she was for real. I walked in the school pissed off. The officer stopped me. "Alexus what's wrong?"  I shook my head nothing and walked towards my class.

When I walked in Mr. Jordan looked at me. "Your late Alexus..." "I know.." I said taking my seat. He mugged. Little did he know was I wasn't in the mood. "Alexus... Go get a pass." "Mr. Jordan.. I'm not feeling it today can you let me pass or something?" He nodded and continued with his lesson. I put my headphones in and finished my work early. This day for sure is going to be fucked up. I continued through the day with this messed up attitude. I got to my last class and the teacher pulled me out of class. "I saw the fight Alexus.. I would just like to say.. Damn." I giggled a little. "You have a beautiful smile. Show it.. Stop looking so sad all the time." I nodded and walked back in class. India hadn't said anything all day. I looked her way and smiled. She just looked off. Then I got a call from Marquel. "I'm at school talk fast." "Them niggas trying fight me." "WHAT! Where you at?" "Off Kiest and Polk" I hung up and told the teacher what was going on. I ran to my car and sped to Oakcliff. I was driving so fast I'm surprised the laws ain't stop me. Plus I had the gun Marquel gave me two years ago under my seat.

When I got there they was already jumping him. "SAYYYYY!!!" I pulled the gun from under my seat and charged towards them. I didn't want to waste no bullets so I ran up hitting niggas with the butt of the gun. Marquel start fighting them off as best as he could "YEA!!!!" I had never seen him fight but watching him beating up four niggas at the same time was amazing. I cocked the gun and shot one in the air. Everybody stop fighting. Marquel ran to me and grabbed the gun. "Get in the car Alexus." I nodded and got in the car. He kept the gun pointed at them til he got to the other side of the car. In my mind I'm thinking "Damn Marquel..." He got in and threw the gun back under me. "We shall never speak of this..." I nodded and took him to work with me.

"How did they find you Marquel?" He shrugged his shoulders. He got out the car and walked in the building. I sat there wondering. What could they want with Marquel? Then I remembered Monta.. "Ohh Shoot...." I hurried and called Tatyana. "Hello?" "Can you pick up Demonta for me? I had to pick up Marquel." "Yes." We hung up the phone and grabbed my bag and walked in the job. Marquel looked at me and put his head down. "Come on Marquel... You can't do me like this all day." He just looked at me. "Hello..." Then he walked off. I shook my head and walked to the bathroom to get dressed.
