"Remember when Iona beat yo ass by the basketball court, Joaquín?" Carlo laughed while shaking the skittles around in his hand.

"Nigga, I was in third grade and that bitch was in fifth!"

"She still beat yo ass!" Spooky chimed in.

"Nigga fuck you!" I laughed.

"Man, Carlo I know you ain't talking! Reggie from Emery Street beat yo ass a few weeks ago!" Don joked.

"Hell na, nigga! His bitch ass snuck me and it took me a while to get up and get my formaligilation right!"

"That ain't even no word!  Dumb ass!"

Everybody burst into laughter at  Carlo and he waved us off.

"Fuck yall niggas! I bet you pussies can't see me!"

Everyone began to laugh harder.

"Fuck all that! Speaking of pussy, did any of you niggas see Aleah? That bitch got body outta no where! You think she on steroids?" Don spoke.

"Hell na, the bitch prolly been fuckin' hella niggas!" Carlo stated.

"Fuck no, she got her period!"

"What?" Everyone asked in unison while giving Spooky a crazy facial expressions.

"That's what it is! I got five sister,  you know I know about shit like that. They be telling me shit."

"Damn, how long she gone have her period? Cause I'm tryna hit!" Carlo asked.

We all broke into laughter again.

"Man, I don't know but Spooky, yo sisters fine as shit but they ain't got shit on yo mama. Everytime I see her fine ass, I be wanting to ask her to babysit me!"

"Nigga, fuck you!" Spooky spoke mushing Don's head.

"There go Aleah right there!" Carlo spoke pointing to a set of girls walking up the street.

"Man act like you don't even see them broads. They just wanna tease a nigga."

"Fuck that, I'm finna go ask her if she want me to walk her home!" Carlo spoke jumping off of the stoop.

"You a dumb, nigga. I'm telling you that's what she want. She ain't giving you no play." Spooky called out to Carlo who was half way down the street. "Watch what I tell you."

    We all watched as Carlo tried to smooth talk Aleah. She had two other girls who stood alongside her and their bodies were developed the same. I couldn't help but to watch them, even though Spooky had warned us. Aleah had to be every nigga's dream girl but she didn't give us any play, she liked older nigga's. Spooky, Don, Carlo, and myself we're barely out of the ninth grade so there was no way she would even think about looking our way. She was fourteen but everyone in the neighborhood knew she was dating this nigga, Frog who was twenty-three.

    

     Carlo was walking back towards us with a Kool-Aid smile on his face.

"Hell na... I know he ain't get her number."

Carlo stepped up on the stood and took a seat.

"She gave you her number?" Don asked Carlo who was staring at Aleah approach us.

"She told me to come back when I grow some hair on my balls."

I grabbed my stomach while joining the laughter of everyone else on the stoop.

"Fuck y'all she just playing hard to get." Carlo cut in.

"I told yo dumb ass! But don't trip my nigga. She a hoe anyway."

       Aleah and the other girls were now passing by the stoop, wearing the shortest and tightest shorts I had ever seen.

"Hey Joaq." She waved.

"What's... up?" I stumbled over my words.

She smiled and walked off.

   "Damn nigga, you fucking her too? That's why the bitch didn't give me the number!"

"Na, I had a class with her."

"Besides,  you know Joaquín ain't getting no pussy!" Don laughed.

"Fuck you nigga!"

"Damn, you must be gay. I knew it!" Carlo joked.

"Chill out. I fuck hella hoes!" I lied.

"Name one then!"

I was silent and they all began laughing.

"Whatever!" I waved them off.

"It's cool my dude, Carlo a virgin too!" Spooky laughed.

"Hell na, I fucked Brittany Hill!"

"Nigga that's yo fucking cousin!" Don laughed harder.

"By marriage, nigga. Plus my uncle divorced her mama anyway!"

I shook my head before hearing a familiar voice call my name.

"Time to eat Joaq!" My mom called from the window.

"I'll catch y'all nigga's tomorrow!"

"Aight, Virgin Mary!" Don spoke patting my back.

"Fuck you, nigga!"

      When I walked inside of the house, I could smell spaghetti sauce. My sister Ruby, was sitting on the couch watching T.V. while my ma stirred up the rest of the spaghetti.

"Go wash your hands, Joaq!"

    I shrugged and headed to the bathroom. My ma worked at  the hospital as a custodian, so she was always strict about being sanitary. My sister Ruby and I lived with her since neither one of our fathers were with her. Ruby's dad would send her shit now and then but mine was never in my life. The only thing I knew about him was, he was Mexican and that's where my first name came from. Most people would mispronounce it and I was used to that. It's pronounced 'Kwa-keen' but spelled differently. Since my ma and Ruby weren't mixed with any other race, I only went by African American.

       "Ma, I think I got my period." Ruby spoke as we ate together.

My ma nearly spit her food out before speaking.

"But you're only twelve."

"That's when all my friends started theirs!"

"Well I didn't start until fourteen but I'll get you some pads."

I rose from the table.

"What's wrong Joaquín?" She asked.

"I'm not hungry anymore."

  I couldn't imagine Ruby developing a body like Aleah. The thought of nigga's lusting over my sister made my stomach sink.
