DeVante Swing
November 20th,1996
Houston, Texas

"Shut up De" Nyla says while punching my shoulder.

"Nah, but can a dyke be bisexual?" I ask her again and she kisses her teeth. We were currently eating at Whattaburger and honestly, we jumped back like nothing happened. Of course she said she will never date me again, but I'll rather have her presence around me than anything else.

"De, dykes are lesbians." Nyla says while taking a fry off my plate. I look down at my plate and back up at her.

"Put the fry back Ny." I say and she smiles widely.

"No." She responds.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"I love you." I say and she widens her eyes.

"You bold huh?" She responds as she take a large gulp of her sprite.

"I would like to believe that." I say and she laughs.

"You know how it is already DeVante. No more of th-"

"I understand, it slipped out." I say, trying to move the conversation along.

"Just making sure." She says while raising her eyebrows.

"No need to worry, I understand you. But say if a dyke doesn't want to be a dyke anymore..." I trail off and she rolls her eyes.

"A DYKE IS A DYKE IDIOT" she semi yells and I shakes my head, laughing after.

"Aight, chill!" I saying in between laughs.

After some awkward silence. I looked at her.

"Nyla-Janae?" I say and she looks up.

"Mhm?"

"Uh, you wouldn't want to go back with me?" I ask and she sighs deeply.

"Time will tell. I still love you, i always have. But I don't trust you." She says and I sigh.

"What can I do to make things ri-"

"Nyla!" A tall man yells from across the restaurant. It was the Swampmonster himself, Ronnie.

"What the fuck is he doing here?" I ask Nyla and she shrugs.

"I don't know." She says and Ronnie walks up to our table.

"So I came here to make things right with you because I realized I overreacted and you already fucking ET." Ronnie says to Nyla while pointing at me.

"I'm not with him, and if we were fucking that's none of your business because I'm not your girl right? You left me over bulls-"

"Let's go." Ronnie says to Nyla while grabbing her up.

"Get the fuck off of her my nigga." I say standing up.

"What you gonna do about it?" Ronnie says. I don't know what took over me but my fist was on his mouth as I punched him in the mouth.

"Oh shit!" Nyla says as Ronnie lounges at me pushing me down on the floor.

Ronnie and I started fighting as I started punching him in the head. Each blow I gave him was filled with so much anger and hatred.

"STOP IT GUYS!" Nyla screams in shock, as she realizes that Ronnie looked unconscious.

I immediately stopped punching him and let go of him, his body plopped down as I looked up and saw people looking at me.

"Is that DeVante mommy?" A little boy says to his mom and she held him close to her chest.

I immediately felt regret as Nyla was hyperventilating over the situation and people were looking at me.

I stood up and walked out the restaurant, leaving Nyla there.

I didn't know who I was in the moment, but all I knew was that I was a monster. A monster in plain sight.
