Heart & Gun - On Hold

Chapter 1

Jahir

It was the morning and I was sitting in this ghetto, boring ass school just looking at all these niggas trying spit game at these ghetto ass females. Me? I wasn't into ghetto girls. They aren't for me. They claim they would be down for a nigga, but when the time really came they would snitch on you in a heartbeat.

I heard laughter and that's when I saw her. Treasure Bowen, now that girl was beautiful as ever. She was a good girl and I liked that. I liked it alot. I knew if I got with her, she would hold ya nigga down. That's what most dudes don't get. Get you a good girl and have her ride for you and you never have to worry about anything with a girl like her by your side.

The thing about treasure was, that she didn't pay no mind to us niggas in this school, but I know being me, she would have no choice cause I'm not like all these other niggas that's going to be chasing after her. I know she's the one for me and with a little bit of work, she's going to see it too.

The bell rang and everybody started scattering around like mice. I hate this shit. If I could I would go to one of the richest school, but here I am, living in Compton. I got to my first class of the day. English 11. I hated this class with a passion, the teacher has a little crush on me so she's always calling on me to answer the questions and it pisses me off. The bell rung and Treasure walked into the class. Since when does she have this class?

"Hello." Ms. Camo said greeting Treasure.

"Hi. I got transferred into this class today." She looked around the classroom and bit her lip. Damn that was sexy.

"Okay, just take a seat next to Jahir. Jahir raise your hand." I raised my hand and Treasure took her seat next to me. She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"I've never seen you around before. Are you new? I'm Treasure." she held out her hand and I shook it and shook my head no.

"Nah. I'm not new. I just stay behind the scenes. I don't really mess with anyone here." I shrugged my shoulders and she nodded her head.

"You can be friends with me?" I laughed and she mugged me.

"Nah ma, I'll mess yo life up real quick." she looked taken back but I didn't give a fuck. It was true, I was a hood nigga at heart and I do some dirty shit out in these streets. No way would girl like her be ready to live my lifestyle. Shit, to be honest I would love to walk around with her on my arm, but she looks like she has shit going for herself in the future and I can't be responsible for ruining her or anyone else's life like that.

"Well, maybe you'll change your mind." she turned and started to listen to what Ms. Camo was teaching. I could really care less about school at this moment, I'm just in the mood to make money right now.

"Okay class, this quarter's project is something different. The person sitting next to you is your partner and I want you guys to get to know each other, hang out, have fun.  We are going to test and see if ones characteristics rubs off on the other and the last day of the quarter I want you and your partner to stand in front of the class and share what you've learned about one another, what characteristics you picked up and so on. Start getting to know eachother." I rolled my eyes, of course this shit would happen, I knew it was going to happen.

"Seems like you have no choice but to be my friend now." I turned and faced Treasure and she had a smirk playing on her lips.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I have to like you." I placed a smirk on my lips and took a piece of her hair twisting it around my middle finger. She slapped my hand away and I laughed.

"Boy! Do not get beat up right now." I flicked her nose and she then punched me in the chest. I'm not even gonna lie, baby got some power on her.

"You're a feisty one aint you lil mama?" she shrugged her shoulders.

"And you're an asshole aren't you lil daddy?" I raised my eyebrows and the bell rung signaling that it was time to get out this fucking classroom. I turned around to grab my books and when I looked to see where Treasure was, she was already gone and I shook my head.

"I'm about to ruin her fucking life."
