TOO LATE. (Urban Teen Fiction)

Chapter 5. NEW OUTLETS

I wake up to the sunlight beaming directly into my face, as I notice Jasmine was gone. I jump up grabbing my phone seeing it was only 9:20am.

I walk into my bathroom and hopped into the shower,  once I got out I brushed my teeth and walked into my closet putting on my J's, a white beater, and some basketball shorts.

I walked upstairs as my mother stood in the kitchen watching the delivery men set up the table and place the chairs around it. I kissed my mom on the cheek as she greeted me with a smile and a good morning.

The delivery men kept bringing furniture in until the whole house was complete. Once they finished I went downstairs to look at my room that was complete with a king sized bed dressers and a flat screen tv that was mounted on the wall. I had a nightstand on each side of my bed that were empty, since I still had a few boxes to unpack. I head back upstairs to where my mom was but she was up in her room.

"Mom", I called out

"Yes, I'm upstairs"

I head up to her room that was laid out nice. I stood there taking in the change as I begin to adapt to the house a lil more. Then we heard the doorbell ring,  I went downstairs to see who it was.

"Who is it", I yelled out walking toward the door.

"It's T", the voice replied as I opened the door.

"Yea what's up".

"What's up with you"? He asked.

"Man you came to my door, so what you want"?

"Look imma say this as nice as possible, stay the fuck away from my girl, you dig".

"Yo girl", I laughed.

"Yea you deaf or something".

"Check this out, if that's yo girl then you must not be treating her good if she feels comfortable talking to me, so I suggest you get the fuck off my doorstep talkin' reckless before you get yo ass beat" .

"You heard what I said, and let this be the only time I remind you cause next time"....

"Next time what" , I jumped at him, as he stumbles back.  "Thought so wit yo scarey ass" .

I shut the door to turn around to my mom's standing right behind me.

"What is going on"?, "do we need to have a sit down with his father"?

"No ma it's cool, I'm hungry can we go get something to eat"?

"Yes grab my key's and let's go". She replied walking into the kitchen heading into the garage.

We pull up to a McDonald's and ordered our food,  then parked and sat there eating our food in silence. She started the car up and drove off pulling up to a grocery store.

"We need to get some groceries so we can stop spending money on this fast food".

Which was cool cause I hated opening the fridge at home to nothing, especially through the night.

We walked through the store grabbing all sorts of food. I walked down one aisle and caught eye contact with a clerk that began to smile at me.

"Hi, how are you doing"? , she spoke.

"I'm doing fine and you"?

"Fine can't wait until I get off, you must be new around here" .

"Yea how you figure".

"Well because I've never seen you around here and,  especially not at school".

"Oh ok so you go to the high school here"?

"Yea, and I can't wait until school starts back, to see all my friends" .

"Well that's good, I don't know many people around here so I'm not looking forward to it".

"Well if your not doing anything tomorrow night, why don't you come to this address tomorrow night", as she hands me a flyer.  "It's a back to school jam that is on a beach front, one of my friends has a house there, you should really come".

"Uhm,  I guess so".

"How about you give me your address and you can ride with me there" .

I wrote my address on the back of another flyer she had as she takes it and walks to the back.

So Dre is opening up more. Is this place starting to grow on him?
