When The Going Gets Tough

When The Going Gets Tough- Chapter 6

"Well Xavier and I are gonna hang out at my house today after school, so you can come and talk to Rayme.  I'm sure she'll enjoy your company.  You guys need to talk this out, because you're both wrong!"

"Aiight, cool."

He smiled at me and then gave me a hug.

"Thanks, La.  You are literally the only person around here who isn't scared to put me in my place.  Everyone else just goes along with whatever I gotta say and try to make me happy, but you tell it like it is."

I smiled, knowing that I could actually be of help.

"You're welcome."

And with that, we parted ways.

Plan to get Marcus and Rayme back together: Check.... almost, anyway.

AFTER SCHOOL

Marcus, Xavier and I were walking away from the train station and headed toward my house.  Xavier had his arm around my shoulder and I was blushing a little bit.  Marcus looked at him funny.

"Yo X, what you do think you're doing?"

"Huh?"

"Nigga you better get yo heavy self off her!  And y'all better not be tryna have no babies or nothing.  La, yo momma ain't here we keeping everything pg-13.... matter or fact pg nigga!"

I laughed as Xavier grabbed onto me even harder.  

"La, you think this is funny?  I'm so dead ass. And by the way you guys is hugged up right now you better be going to the spring formal together!"

Oh my Gosh these are one of the many ties that I wanna kick him in his crotch so hard his babies will feel it.  Telling Xavier that is putting him in a predicament.  I mean yeah we went on one date but that doesn't mean that he likes me and wants to go out with me or anything.  Now he probably feels like he HAS to ask me to the formal...But I can't lie.  I hope he does ask me.

"Well," Xavier started to speak as we got to my building and he smiled at me.

"So do you wanna go with me La.... To the formal?"

OMG OMG OMG OMG my ovaries just popped.... Yessssssssss!!!!! He asked me! He asked me! He asked me!

"Uhh, yeah of course!" I showed my pearly whites as he hugged me.

I don't know what cologne he was wearing... but my ovaries just exploded.  Yes EXPLODED. Oh my gosh there is no way that my day could get any better he freaking asked me to the SPRING FORMAL! I mean the party's gonna be..... Woooh!

We got into the elevator and got off at my floor.  When we got inside the door I saw Rayme sitting on the couch still in her pajamas... which were a bit revealing for guests; watching Spongebob ._. Spongebob though? A damn shame.

She shot her head over to us, and had a shocked look on her face.

"Heyyy, La!"

She covered somewhat of her body with her hands.

"You didn't tell me you were bringing.... guests!."

"Ohh yeah.... Hey Ray!"

"Hmmm?"

"I'm bringing guests!"

The boys laughed as she sucked her teeth and made a face.

"Turn around."

We did as she said and I heard footsteps so I assumed that she went to put on some clothes.

"La, man imma go I don't think I can do this."
