"Drew let me get a 5." I said unbuckling my seatbelt and going into his wallet. He lowered his head back into the car. "For what?" He asked, I sucked my teeth "Do it really matter?" I asked as I pulled a 5 dollar bill out of his wallet.

I got out the car and walked over to where he was pumping gas. We had stopped on the way to his mom's house at a gas station. "Thank you baby." I spoke before kissing him on the cheek. I walked carefully across the street to the corner store. I didn't fully realize where I was until saw him through my shades. At this point in time he was my worst nightmare. I lowered my head to avoid his glance hoping he hadn't seen me.

"Damn lil mama. Let me holla at you for a minute." some nigga said, prompting the other niggas around him to stare at me. I gave them a small smile and kept walking into the store. If I hadn't at least smiled he woulda caused trouble, calling me a stuck up bitch or some shit like that, and I really didn't have the patience to deal with that.

I went into the candy isle and grabbed me some M&Ms and some other candy. I was feenin'. "So you thought I wouldn't notice you ma?" I looked up and seen Trey standing right next to me. He's the person I was trying to avoid. "You think I wouldn't know those pretty lips by now baby?" he said running his thumb across my chin. I turned my face away from him.

"What do you want?" I asked with a hint of annoyance in my voice. "I just wanted to know if yo lil boyfriend what you was doing last night." he said. I chewed the inside of my cheek.

"I thought so. I bet you ain't tell him how I was all up in that. Had you begging for this dick. He don't know that do he?" He kept going on and on. I was getting pissed off. "It was a mistake. Now back the fuck up." I spat at him. He let out a little chuckle like I was a fucking joke or something. That made me even more mad. "What I tell you the first time ma? I don't believe in mistakes."

"Well I do." I snapped, brushing past him and going to the register. I paid for my snacks and got out of there so fast. "Damn she look even better from the back" one of the niggas from before said causing all his friends to chuckle. I ignored him and darted across the street back to Drew.

When I got back in the car Drew was ready to go. He took a look at all the candy in my lap and chuckled, "Yo fat ass." "Shut that shit up. Ima hooper. Hoopers gotta eat." I said defending myself.

We drove to his mom's house in near silence, the only sounds were the radio and us singing or tapping along. The whole time all I could think about was Trey. It pissed me off that he threw yesterday in my face like that. I couldn't help but be scared. What if he told Drew? If he could throw that shit in my face then I'm sure he could tell Drew without giving a damn.

We arrived at his parent's house not a bit too long after, it wasn't a long drive once you reach downtown. I spotted a familiar car in the driveway. "Derrick in town?" I asked Drew, he shook his head yes. "Him and Rayna." Derrick is his brother. They look just alike even though Derrick is 5 years older. His hair was a little more grown out and it was a light brown color. He also had dark brown eyes compared to Drew's hazel ones. Rayna is his older sister by a couple of years. She was a little darker than him. They all had their difference in appearance but they still looked just alike. Their little sister Taylor, who's 9, was like a perfect mix of all of them.

We walked into the house to see everyone in the living room. His mom was there too. The only one missing was his dad who worked at a law firm so it wasn't surprising that he wasn't there. I greeted everyone with hugs right before plopping down in the couch. This is like my family so I wasn't uncomfortable at all. Just I was about to ask where Derrick was I heard someone say "Look what the cat drug in.", Ricky came over to me and ruffled up my hair. "Ugh. Stop with ya ugly behind." I had to censor myself because his mom was right there. "Yo boyfriend look just like me so if I'm ugly he's ugly too." he said. "Nigga please. You look like me." Drew says as if there was a difference.
