Mama: Earnest Barned Jacob the third , why the hell you in Kelsey's room ?

Me: I slept in here beacuse the vent in my room still broke , and its was hot last night.

Mama: So , the maintenance man never came to fix that ?

Me: he came , but he left he said he needed another part so he'll place an order on it.

Mama: ok well ya still need to get up , the fuck ya think this is a weekend ? School not over.

Me: ok ma , Aye Kelsey Mama said we need to get up.

Kelsey: Ok I heard , you don't have to yell.

I went to the bathroom to go freshen up , I stared in the mirror at mysellf . Trying to remember exactly what happened last night. I went back to my room and noticed that I left the window wide open . I wondered if ma , saw it and thought to myself nah , beacuse she would have said something.

So I went and got dressed , then I went to Kelsey's room and she was already dressed. We both headed out , and started walking to school . See what I would do is walk Kelsey to school , make sure she in class , then I'd leave school campus and go down to 63rd street . Both Kelsey and Mama think I be going to school , but I really don't. After dropping Kelsey off I headed to 63rd street to meet Antoine. And as I was walking I couldn't stop thinking about last night , Like damn why he had to go? Me and Jerome been bestfriends since forever . I looked up to him he was like a father figure to me since my dad is in jail for life. I keep on walking and I started to get hungry. So I stopped by the coner in McDonalds and got some food , when I sat down I noticed that the news was on and it was talking about the party last night , and how 5 people ended up dead. I left cause I didn't want to here the rest of the story , and I guess I made a scene by leaving because I left out in a hurry . By the time I reached Antoine's apartment. Its was like nine o'clock , I know I had to be back at that school by 11. Beacuse that Kelsey's lunch. I approach Antoine Door * 8 knocks * he opens the door.

Antoine: oh whats good Earnst

Me: Nothings good , I want to find out who killed Jerome.

Antoine: is you really bout it ? And ive been tryna figure that out to . Look here's a video that I found on youtube.

We both watched it frame by frame.

Antoine: I cant see on who that is.

Me: well who ever that is im going to find them. Antoine record a video of me right Quick.

Antione: what you about to do ?.

Me: Make a public service announcement.

Antione: ight your on.

public service announcement:

Me: yeah put that on instagram , twitter , vine , youtube all that get the word out.

Antoine: ight , for now just lay low. And her , here's your first strap. With a few clips.

Me: ight, thanks

As me and Antoine , was waiting on the views on the video I notice that Antoine had music equipment that looked like he never used ,

Me: Aye , you fuck around with music ?

Antione: Yeah , I produce tracks im a music engineer.

Me: them type people make good money , why you still in the slums ?

Antione: it was a gift from my Ex girlfriend. Never learned on how to use any of it.

Me: what happened between you and your girl ?

Antione: just know she aint around.

Me: da fuck nigga you aint kill her right ?

Antione: no , she couldnt put up with me any more

Me: oh , I feel you. I had a bitch just like that a few year's she said I was too clingy an shit so she up and left.

( the back room door creeks open )

Keke: Antione , baby why you up so early.

Antione: Nun , go back to sleep I'm handling business.

Keke: ok Daddy .

( Door closes )

Me: Damn, bro who she ?

Antione: Just something I picked up on from the party last night.

Me: you was hitting that ?

Antione: you already know .

Me: aye what that video looking like ?

Antione: 12 Veiws , n 9 likes on instagram.

Me: aye drive me to Northside high. Its my lil sister lunch time. An lets stop by the store im hungry as hell.

Antione: ight toss me them keys . Aye Keke we out come lock this door , ill be right back.

We left and headed for the grocery store. We picked up Subs sandwiches , Doritos and a big Sprite. We saw some people from the party there , we stared at them like they did us , I think one of them noticed us from the party ,but they didn't say anything. We proceeded to check out and left. As we were walking to the car I felt a disturbance, a bad feeling in my gut about something. So I asked Antione to hurry up an take me school. As we arrived I was only 10mins late.

Me: here Kelsey I got you some food

Kelsey: thank you

Me: How your day going ?

Kelsey: its ok I mean you are the main topic of the school right now.

Me: I guess so after last night .
