//Bird POV//
"What's wrong?" Neece said as she flicked my ear with a pencil.
"Ion feel like talm bout it." We was in school and I been acting distant all day.
"Why not?"
"I just don't."
"It must be real personal?"
"Yeah."
"Well I'll leave you alone for now anyways, but do your work." It was cute how she had me on my shit.
What was getting to me is how I just found out who my father is and he was about to killed me. I had to stop dealing drugs and focus on basketball way more, cause this shit serious. I just need to find a way out, I'm only a corner boy so I'm replaceable.
The bell rung and it was time for lunch. Me and Neece went to her locker to put our books up. We shared each other's lockers hers was closer to the cafeteria so we used it.
"Where's Red & what's wrong with you?" Ariyah said nudging me when she sat down and Asia was right behind her on her phone.
"Ion know and I'm good." I was thinking about everything. My brother got two kids on the way. Me and Neece gone have to slow down.
"He act like he can't talk to nobody." Neece said with attitude.
"I'll tell you when I get out of practice after school."
//Red POV//
You still picking me up ? -Mia
I'm otw -Red
"Aye Pops I'm bouta go pick up my home girl from work, wanna come?"
"Yeah."
Our pops wanted to have a real relationship with us, so he's staying at our house for a lil while until he can find a new house that's closer, but I think it's an excuse to expand his 'business'.
"What you doin after you graduate high school?" He said putting on his seatbelt.
"Um I really was just gone try to take over the streets." I said while putting my phone on the charger.
"On some G shit y'all can't be in these streets."
"But you do it.."
"I rather have you work for me then someone else."
"So what was the real reason we had to leave when we was younger?." I changed the subject cause my loyalty was with Steve.
"What you mean?"
"Come on now. To stop y'all from having kids? That's the dumbest excuse even I can catch on to that."
"Well I was slangin' drugs and one my rivalries came to their house and tortured them. Tasha didn't want y'all being like me. Which is crazy cause y'all still followed my footsteps." He laughed a little.
"Shits crazy."
"Yeah, but y'all should work for me."
"My loyalty lies with Steve. I been riding with him and I just met you."
"I'm yo pops. You, your brothers, and your lil friends all coulda die two nights ago and where was Steve? Does he even know y'all my boys?"
He did have a point Steve was never around when we had to get our hands bloody.
