A/N The whole book is in Khamari's POV..
---------------------------------
Once we landed we waited for the cab that we called to arrive. When it did my mom gave them an address.. I'm guessing that's where we will be staying. Going down the streets, I was a little disappointed because I at least thought that we were moving to a better environment but this was way worse than my old neighborhood. All I seen was females in these pieces of cloth they call clothing, niggas being all thirsty and ratchet, and crackheads. Don't get me wrong im ghetto but there's a point where I just draw the line.
We finally pulled up to an old run down looking building. We got out and I bullshit you not, my mama looked more shocked at this shit than we did. We as in me, my brother, and my little sister.
"Well how do you like your new home", is what my mama had the nerve to ask us. All three of us looked upside her head like Wtf??
"This our what?" My brother said frowning at her. She looked at us and sighed telling us to come on. She walked ahead of us because we refused to walk first. The house had 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We ain't even have real beds, we had mattresses on the floor.
"It stinks in here!" I said aloud to myself. Since nobody was in the room with me. "Like where did she find this shit cause this aint no damn house this shit is a shack or some shit." I said once I made it to my brothers room. I'm guessing he was thinking the same cause the face he was making wasn't pretty at all. I left his room to roam the house and ended up in my moms room. She was unpacking.
"Where you find this house at mama?" I asked.
"Don't worry about it, it's just a place to stay until I get on my feet and is able to afford something better." She said as I sighed in relief that this situation isn't permanent. "You might wanna go unpack and get some rest cause you got school on Monday."
"What! We just got here. We don't even know where the school at." I exclaimed. When she didn't reply I knew this discussion was over and I no longer had a say in it anymore so I just went to my room and started unpacking.
When I was finished I noticed my brother had already made his way outside to check out the environment. He had a couple of people on the porch. I think they might have lived on the block or whatever so I decided to just got take a shower to wash the flight off.
When I got out the shower I went to my room and put on some Aztec print tights that were black and blue, a black loose fitting crop top, and black footie socks. After getting dressed I decided to join Kaden on the porch with his new found associates.
As soon as I opened the front door all eyes were on me. I became a little uneasy but stayed out anyways.
"This my sister, Khamari." my brother said as an introduction to his friends. There was 3 dudes and 1 girl. The first guy was short maybe 5'6, Darkskin, temp fade and kinda muscular. Dude number 2 was tall maybe 5'11, long dreads that flowed down his back, and had a kinda slim but muscular build. The last dude had a high yellow complexion, very slim, and had braces. Then there was the female who looked like she could be KeKe Palmers twin and was standing at at least 5'4. I felt so short compared to these people considering that I'm only 5'0.
As we all started to talk and they learned about Memphis and we learned about our new town, New Orleans, I eventually learnt everyone's names. The girls name was Keisha. The cute but quiet dread head was Christian but they called him Chris. The darkskin one was Black. Finally the yellow one was Slim.
"It's a lot y'all gotta learn in order to survive around here, like for instance y'all say the word 'hoe' a lot, you can't be doing that its disrespectful. It's certain people that you should and shouldn't talk to." Kiesha said. "You'll see soon who not to mess with. Just pay attention to how everyone acts around certain people." She stopped talking and looked across the street as this tall but quite cute darkskin girl get out the passengers side of a all black 2014 Charger then continued, "Thats April, Rio's girl, it's not wise to even look at her wrong. She can have his top hitta at your door step waiting on you to come outside so he can have your head."
"Who's Rio?" I asked getting the picture that he was a big deal but I at least wanted to be in the loop when people started talking about him. I mean he had to be big considering that she was talking about him having hittas and shit on his team.
"Him" She said pointing to a dude across the street. Dude was fine as a motherfucker and it wasn't even funny. He was tall, looking around 6'2-6'3, light caramel skin tone, shoulder length dreads that were up in a ponytail, and looked to have a body that kinda resembled Trey Songz. "Damn stop eye raping him, but he fine ass hell ain't it?."
I nodded my head in response the asked why was he so important.
"He is the biggest kingpin around right now he's on top and not a soul dared to talk out the side of they neck to him." She stressed to me.
"Alright I get it. So basically be... fake and hold my tongue around him?" I asked trying to make sure I was hearing this shit right cause they out they fucking mind if they think I'm finna hold my tongue for anybody.
"I mean you do as you please it's all whether or not he takes it as disrespect or not but anyways are you still in school or nah?" Keisha said finally changing the subject.
"Yea and I still gotta go Monday morning." I responded while making a funny face causing them laugh at my childish ways.
"Which one you go to?" she asked.
"Walter umm L. ummm shit Cohen High School." I said trying my hardest to remember the name of the school.
"Oh foreal.. I go there too. Good so I can show you around,where to skip, who to hang around, the cool teachers, and to be clear I will be on your door step at 7:32 since school starts at 8. So please be ready." She said as we laughed at her rambling.
We all soon said our good byes and I decided to go on the house and change into some night clothes, call kim and talk, the afterwards go to bed early since there was nothing else to do.
