When I didn't come home that night my Mama was panicking. She even called the police.. something she never did until tonight.

"Um, she had on a black sweater and some cut up jeans. She wore some timberland boots and her hair was in a bun."

My mother told the police. My Daddy just walked through the door. "What's going on? Where's Mimi?"

Daddy asked. Mama pulled him into a hug. "She said she was going to the library."

Daddy said. The police officer nodded his head writing that down.

"We normally have to wait forty eight hours. She's just sixteen.. She could have ran away." Mama shook her head.

"Not Satomi, she's not like that." The police officer looked at the couple. "We'll call if we have any leads."

Simone peeked around corner listening to everything. "Satomi is gonna get her ass beat."

She mumbled. My parents turned around. "Go to bed Simone." Mama said. She sighed and turned back around walking back to her room.

Meanwhile, at school they weren't even speaking to eachother. Imani and Ricky were on the verge of breaking up.

Jamal and Bj was acting as if nothing happened and Tyler was having bad dreams.

They all decided to meet up after school and talk about it. "Nobody said anything right?" Bj asked.

"Nah." "Good, I'm not going to jail over that hoe." Jamal said. "Can't we just tell the police it was an accident?" Imani asked.

Everyone looked at Imani like she was crazy except for Tyler. He felt the same way. "Hell no, and if you tell a soul I'm handling you personally."

Bj said clenching his teeth. Imani frowned. "Look, calm down.. what she said isn't such a bad idea." Tyler said.

Bj looked at him. He could tell he was gonna be a problem. "What?" Bj asked. "You heard me-"

Bj grabbed his collar and smashed his against the wall. But Tyler could handle it more than I could.

"If you tell a damn soul I'll kill yo ass, do you understand me?" Bj asked. Tyler clenched his teeth.

"Like you did Satomi right?" Tyler asked. They all were quiet. Bj glared at him then began laughing.

He let him go then took a step back. "You saying that shit like it's gonna effect me... you raped her too."

Tyler looked down at his feet. "So did you.." He pointed at Jamal. "And y'all ass helped bury the body." He turned to Imani and Ricky.

"Ain't nobody in this circle innocent, we all going down for murder."

They nodded. "If y'all keep y'all mouthes shut and shut the fuck up." Bj said.

He looked at all of them. "Now, we all have to act normal.. go to school everyday and act how y'all usually act got it?"
