"OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" Jino & Tez exclaimed as they viciously twisted the front door nob. They ran through the door with a huge cherrywood chest, & into the basement. Me, Rozày, Nakia, Kavien, & Rayvan all followed them into my sisters room (the basement) also followed by the strong smell of weed coming from chest. We all studied it wondering how we were going to get it open, considering there was a huge lock keeping it sealed.

Tez: Dawg how the fuck we gone get this open, we ain't even got the key.

Jino: We gone have to break this bitch, shoot it or something.

Everybody looked up at Jino like he was retarted. He looked back at all of US like we were crazy.

Me (vegas): Nigga I know you not talking about down here, we gone have to take it to the garage.
Jino: Nawww ima take it in the closet & shoot it off, DUH we going in the garage.

I gave my sister a look because she needed to get him before things got out of line. Me & Nakia set this whole thing up to begin with, we needed a way to eat since our mom was gone. She only came back every couple of weeks, to get clothes & leave. Her actions led us to robbing people in the big city of Detroit, Michigan. Where we were from. & Jino always wanted to be greedy at times.

Tez: Man y'all doing too much let's go, help me carry this shit.

They both grabbed the chest, headed back upstairs, & out the back door. We opened the gate & headed into the garage.

Nakia: *exits the backdoor with a shotgun* Here Tez.

She gave him the gun & he shot off the lock. When we popped the chest open, all I seen was green. 💚🍃
It was at least 200 pounds of weed. This was going to feed us for a long time, but the fastest way we would get this off was @ school. I'm not gonna lie, it was a risk, but it was one of the fastest ways. Me, Nakia, Rayvan, & Kavien went to a K-12th grade school called Palmer Park.
There were lots of people we grew up with from our old elementary/middle school, our neighborhood, & just around the city. But it would just be Nakia & I doing all the work from 9:30-4:30. The school WAS ghetto & run down. Students running wild, fights happening, shootouts around the area. It was TERRIBLE, so terrible to where we wouldn't get caught doing what we were doing, if we weren't stupid. Everyone else was stupid but us, we never really got caught doing anything except for little things at home.
After he shot off the lock, we all divided up the weed. Nakia & I had 2 zips each, the rest would be sold in the hood on 7 mile by Jino, Tez, & Chez. Since my sister Rozày dropped out of school her 11th grade year to watch us when my mom stopped coming back home, she didn't have her diploma. Which meant she couldn't really get a good job, she worked at a fast food place called Checkers. We ate there every once in a while when we had money.
Me & my siblings needed more clothes, so we had to sell this fast, or we would take another route... It was 4:03 in the morning, & we had to wake up for school at 9:00 A.M. to catch the bus. As soon as we got in the school, we had to take our backpacks to the girls locker room. We usually carried our notebooks with us to class.
When we got the weed, I went into the house & upstairs to my room. I'm glad I came on time because my boyfriend was calling me.
Whenever I missed Zay calls, he always got mad. He knew I was busy, I always tried my best to make him happy no matter what though. I've been with him since I was 13, yea he was 5 years older than me but I knew he loved me & how mature I was. He was my first love, I let him have my virginity & everything. We met when Nakia & I used to wander around the neighborhood in the middle of the night when we were 12, like we were grown. He noticed me & started walking with us, talking to me. After that we just became close friends, & eventually it turned into something else. We've been together ever since, doing everything with each other.
