Through It All 2

5

  We pull into the school parking lot next to the rest of the Los Diablos. I so don't want to be here. I finished the rest of last year from home. Not because I was hiding or anything I just didn't want to be around anyone. But getting closer with the Los they were asking me to come back to school. Jason and our dads thought it was a good idea. So, here I am. Jay gets out and comes opens my door for me. He takes my back and puts it on his shoulder then helps me out the truck. When I am out he hands me my bag back. We walk to the court yard which seems to be the new hang out spot. Of course, all eyes are on us, well me and my big baby bump. To be only six months I am huge. We get to the Los and say hey to everyone. They greet us back. Nia comes over and hugs us with Anthony not far behind her.

"You looking good Mommi." She says

"You too, I am in love with that jacket." She has on a jean jacket that says Los D. on in and it's really cute.

"Thank you, I have one for you if you just join us already."

When she says that all the Los look at me; making me look at Jay. I really haven't thought about joining the Los Diablos. I wouldn't mind it though. Through all the bullshit going on in my life they have stuck by my side.

"I love y'all and y'all became my family. I am done for the Los always and forever." I say. Jay smiles at me and Nia goes into her bag and pulls out a matching jacket. I give Jason my bag and she helps me put it on. The rest of the Los start shouting causing others to look on. I see the Mafia's faces and they don't look happy about it. Oh, fucking well. That's on them not me. Jason hands me back my bag and kisses me. He takes a seat on the bench and pulls me onto his lap. We kick it for about five minutes before the first period bell rings. Jason walks me to class. I get in and find a seat in the back. Everyone else fills in the class. Brazil, Coco, Tiffany, Trey, Millz, and Sean come in come to the back. Millz sits next to me and smiles. I smile back. Our relationship hasn't changed. He and I still hang every now and then when he isn't busy with Mafia shit.

"That's a good color on you cuz." He says talking about my jacket.

"Thanks."

"I knew it wasn't going to be long. So, my mom told me to invite you and Jason over for dinner tonight. So, you're not blindsided your mom will also be there."

I groan and roll my eyes. My aunts have been trying to get my mom and I on the same page since last Christmas. I think its pointless. But, I do miss aunt Mimi's cooking. "We'll be there."

"Good, cause she said if you didn't come she was going to beat your ass."

"Good morning class. I am your teacher Mr. Richards." A young fine ass light skin man says. He looks to be in his early 20s and all the girls are drooling over him already. "Welcome to 11th grade history. I want to go around the room please stand and say your names starting in the front."

When it gets to me I raise my hand and say "My name is..."

"Can you please stand?" he asks cutting me off

"Look I am six months pregnant and its kinda hard getting up from this small ass desk and sitting back down so no I will not. But, my name is Gemma James." Millz says his name. We go over what the class will be like for the rest of the year. After class lets out Millz walks me to my locker where Jason is waiting for me. They dap each other up.

"How was class?" he asks as he rubs my belly

I smile "It was cool. Yours?"

"I have free period first block so I went and got you and lil mama something to snack on until lunch." He holds up a bag of seedless green grapes and an ice tea. I hug him and tell him thanks. Through this pregnancy he has been very helpful and has catered to my needs no matter how crazy they are. He will literally get up in the middle of the night and go take me to get donuts and ice cream.

"Oh, my aunt Mimi invited us to dinner tonight."

"Okay, cool she's the one who makes the really mac "n" cheese right?"

"Yes, get this though. My mom will be there."

"Then I am most definitely there. I don't need you stress my lil mama out more then you already have." He says pulling me into a hug. The bell rings and we walk to our next class. I am glad we have one class together even if it is math.

(Lunch)

Jay told me to meet him in the court yard so we could go off campus for lunch with his friends. I was the first one to meet there and I mind it though. I took out my camera then start taking photos of random shit like lockers, cliques, and art work all around. I see Jason coming towards me but is stopped by this girl Keke, who is a well-known hoe around here. I put my camera away, get up, then make my way to them.

"Jay, you know you not happy with her. How you know that's even your baby?"

"He knows it's his baby because I lost my virginity to him and you think he'd be happier with your hoe ass than with me." I laugh causing shawty to turn around looking stuck in the face.

"G-Gem I-I'm so sorry." She says showing herself to be the weak bitch I know her to be.

"Mmh... you ready baby?" I ask Jason ignoring that she was there all together. I don't have time for hoes and their ways. If I wasn't carrying my baby girl I would've punched her in her shit just for the simple fact that she was in my nigga's face.

(After lunch)

I have free period this block so I just went around taking photos of more random shit. I think I am going to do a piece base on this school year. I had some of my dad's connects waiting to buy more of my pieces and I have been working on more stuff in my free time. I was taking photos and something caught my eyes. Mr. Richard selling drugs to a student; he seen me and I really ain't give a shit. I smile and wave at him and he smirks. I go back to taking photos. I was so lost in the lenses I didn't even see him come over to where I was at.

"Better not be no photos of me on there." I hear him say causing me to look up.

"Nah, you good, I understand get it how you live it."

"You're a smart girl." He says

"I know."

"So, how did a smart girl like yourself end up pregnant?" he ask. I look at him like he stupid.

"I mean I had sex. That's how babies are made."

He holds his hand up and says "My bad, my bad. Are you and ya baby daddy still together?"

"Yeah, her and her baby daddy together," Jason says

"Ah, Mr. Carballo, I see that..."

"Yeah, whatever, get the fuck away from my girl and my seed. Nigga, you know who I am."

"See, you in class Miss James," Mr. Richards says walking away. I look at Jason and he is acting like nothing just happened. There's more to the story. I learned that when he is ready to talk he will. Until then don't push the issue.

"What you doing out of class?" I ask

"Had to handled something with the crew. Why was that nigga in ya face?"

"I honestly couldn't tell you." I say snapping a photo of him.

"All I am saying he better keep his ass away from you."

(At home)

I was giving Ant and Jay directions on how I wanted my artwork hung up on the walls. Nia and Ricky were here and laughing at the guys getting mad. When everything was done they left and we got ready for the dinner at my aunt's and uncle's house.
