The next morning I wake up and walk downstairs to find a note left by my brother. He won't be home for a few days because he has to be with Shay taking care of the kids. He continues you got the house to the neck kiddo, don't be reckless or imma seriously beat your a- ah you get the point. I smirk but that soon fades as I realize that Shay won't be at school with me today and probably tomorrow. Or probably for a whole week. Shays pregnant and she's been taking some time off of school to focus on her health and the baby.

Jazzy: FUDGE NUGGETS! I'm gonna be all by myself in this boo boo house and that boo boo school with that boo boo person named freaking boo boo Carlito. Ughhh

I hurry up and put my school uniform while I head out the house I get a text from Shay telling me that she won't be at school and she wishes me luck. I can feel my throat getting dry, I'm gonna need all the luck I can get. I'm a punk, I don't do this confrontational stuff. But here I am doing exactly just that.

Jazzy: finally school is over, I just wanna go home as fast as I can I got the house all to myself, and it'll just be me peace and quie- ahhhh

I feel my collar being yanked from behind me. I stumble backwards as I'm trying to adjust my balance. I reach around my neck to feel who it is. Just by touch I already know who it is.

Jazzy: ugh what do you want?!
Carlito: with that whole speech you gave yesterday, I thought you would be ready to fight today. I recall you saying "I will win, I will make you say you love me blah blah blah". Where's the spirit!
Jazzy: well I'm not in "the spirit" today. Okay just leave me alone and go hang out with someone else.
Carlito: aww but you have the house all to yourself, you're gonna be all lonely.
Jazzy: so! And how did you even know that?
Carlito: you think out loud dummy.

We both stand in silence. Until I realize that he still has his grip on my collar. I yank away from him.

Jazzy: anyways.. you seem pretty lonely yourself where's your friend?
Carlito: doing smart people things unlike you, anyways I need you to come over to my house because I need you to do something for me.
Jazzy: and what makes you think I'll say yes?

He inches closer to my face.

Jazzy: OKAY! okay no more of that please. Jeez you're so weird!
Carlito: but you love me, so none of that really matters to you.
Jazzy: whatever. Can we just go?
Carlito: smirks follow me
