" i'm back! " monse declared with yasmin following behind her. she was tired from the long walk they just had from her house to ruby's.
" could you move that side table? " ruby dismissed her. the smile on monse's braceless face fell as yasmin lazily plopped onto ruby's bed earning a smack on the head by ruby.
" no seriously don't make such a fuss. i've only been gone all summer, but whatever. " she exclaimed stepping closer into the room.
" how was camp. " ruby asked sighing.
"camp was fine. notice anything new? " she asked flashing her teeth at the pair.
" you got boobs. " they responded. her smile dropped as she crossed her arms over her chest to hide her new found womanhood.
" she got her braces off dick heads." yasmin exclaimed from her place on ruby's bed.
" yeah, that too. " jamal said. monse rolled her eyes & folded her arms tighter.
" you can wait for cesar to help. " she exclaimed with a small pout. yasmin let out a snort & sat up, her green shirt bunched up a bit.
" yeah right. " she said rolling her eyes & placing her head in ruby's lap.
" we'll be waiting a really long time. " jamal said sitting next to yasmin as ruby got up to grab something.
" why? where's cesar? "
" we're not talking to him. " ruby said removing the bucket from his closet.
" there not, i didn't like his ass anyway. " yasmin said pulling her long box braids into a high ponytail. monse rolled her eyes at her best friend & turned back to ruby.
" you in a fight? " she asked
" it wasn't really a fight, more like-" jamal started but was cut off by ruby.
" we're not getting into it. trust us, cesar's not cool. " ruby said causing monse to roll her eyes.
" well i'm not cool being not cool. and why aren't you at football. " monse asked. yasmin chuckled & kicked her legs up onto jamal's lap.
" he's scared to die. " she said causing him to push her legs off of his lap.
" we should really get to orientation before those lines get too long. " he said closing the book in his hand.
" yeah i don't wanna be too sweaty for my id. " ruby said. yasmin stood up & rolled her eyes at the mention of school.
" you coming this semester? your like 16 & you've never been to high school. " ruby said looking up to the older female.
it's true, in all of yasmin's life she's only been to school from 1st grade to 6th. you can't really go to school when you start a gang at 12 years old. her sister needed her & she couldn't do whatever her sister needed if she was at school so, she dropped out.
" you know i can't go to school. i got hoodrat duty from morning to night. can't go to school with weed in my bra. " she said rolling her eyes.
" i'll come to orientation & take my id picture just because. " she said shrugging while heading out of the room.
