Riley walked down the street with his head low. Today was his 16th birthday, and not one person had said happy birthday.
"Ain't nobody need them . Reezy don't need none of them. nigga's."
He opened the door, and almost shot somebody.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!" Huey just said "Happy birthday."
"What da!?"
"We put together a surprise birthday party, Riley!" Jazmine Dubois squealed.
"Wha-
"Nigga, stop acting dumb! The nice people have thrown you a nice ass party." Grandad yelled at him.
Then later on he opened his presents. He got a watch from Jazmine and Hiro, no doubt he tagged along at the last minute. A SnapBack from...someone named Angelika? Whatever. He got 2 new pairs of shoes and a new phone from grandad, and when they were done, Huey gave him a book, with a lauryn hill cd taped in it.
Later, Jazmine came out of the kitchen with a cake. It said Escobar and Young Reezy all over it. In the middle was two lit candle gun shapes into a one and six.
He waved the fire away because real niggas don't make wishes.
He heard a sweet laughter behind him. Maybe more like a chuckle.
"Now, let's DANCE!" Hiro yelled
While everyone was having a good time and laughing, except for grandad who was in a corner eating the cake, a beautiful girl walked up to him with Jazmine.
"Riley, this is Angelika! She moved next to me two weeks ago. If you would have been at home, you would have met her."
Riley's jaw dropped . A trickle of saliva rolled down his mouth.
She held his chin in her hand and wiped it away with her thumb.
"You okay Reezy?" She smiled.
"Damn..." He whispered.
