Boondocks One Shots

Ma Shortie Blondie

"Real talk. I want you."

"Which meme did you get that one from, I wonder."

Riley frowns playfully, circling in front the new girl. "C'mon, ma," he licks his lips as he walks backwards. "Ain't nobody can resist Young Reezy."

"Yeah?" The girl rolls her eyes playfully and clutches her book tighter to her chest. "Watch me."

"Babygirl--Agh!" Riley is suddenly jerked to the side by his hoody and slammed against one of the lockers. He glares at the blue-eyed girl in front of him as he rubs the pain in the back of his neck. "What the fu--"

Cindy scowls and folds her arms tightly, tapping her foot impatiently. Riley glances at the girl he was following over her shoulder and watches her turn and disappear around the corner. He looks down at his best friend again. "Cock blocker."

"I'm saving yo ass from herpes - you welcome." She walks away. "We late fo class."

"Class?" Riley echoes as he follows her. "You dun give ah fuck 'bout class." He smirks behind her. "Y'know what I think, Murph?"

"You talk too damn much? Cuz that's what I'm thinkin'."

Riley ignores that. "I think you jealous."

Cindy stops in her tracks in an instant and Riley bumps into her, almost knocking her over. She whirls around, cheeks burning, but face scowling. She grabs the front of his hoody and yanks down. "I ain't jealous of nobody. Nigga."

"Yo lips say nah, but yo white cheeks say somethin' else, Cyn."

Screw ma light ass skin, Cindy thinks angrily as she lets go of him, turning around to hide her blush. "Les just get to class." She marches away with Riley following lazily behind, taking his time and enjoying the view.

Later that day in the cafeteria...

"So...he knows you like him."

"I ain't 'like' nobody."

Jazmine rolls her eyes and plays with her food. "You have to tell him sometime, y'know, before he starts dating again?"

"Tell who what?" The girls look up and watch as Caesar plops down next to Jazmine, placing his tray down too.

Jazmine opens her mouth and closes it again when Cindy glares at her. "Don't you dare--"

"We can trust him!" Jazmine turns to Caesar. "Cindy likes Riley."

"Jazmine!" Cindy hisses.

"What?"Jazmine says innocently.

"Murph likes who?" Hiro pops up and sits down next to Caesar.

"Riley," Caesar blurts.

"Michael!" Cindy's fists slam onto the table, jottling eveyones' trays.

"...We can trust Hiro."

Cindy's eyes go to daggers and quickly and uncomfortable silence engulfs the air. Jazmine shifts and starts eating, Caesar blows a low whistle and Hiro just plays with his food. Another tray lands on the space next to Hiro's and Huey sits down. Huey looks around at everyone to Cindy's scowling face. "I usually prefer the silence," he starts, "But what exactly is the issue?"

Hiro opens his mouth, but Cindy points her plastic fork at his neck. "Boy." Hiro swallows.

Huey examines Cindy for a few seconds. "Oh, I get it."
