Just Us

Chapter 1

I waited at the bottom of the stairs for my little sister Nyla. 

"Heyyyy", she yelled once she caught up to me.

Nyla is a pretty girl, she is about 5'4" and had a nice figure. She got her green-grey eyes from our mom, curly hair and big lips from our dad's side of the family.

"Hey, how was school." I asked her. I know she don't be listening to them dang teachers.

"It was good. But this one girl had the nerve to get smart with me. And then my teacher wanted to give me a 84, like, he could've just given me an 85 for all that!" She was always complaining.

"Girl bye. But do you have homework today?"

" Nah, I finished it all"

"Mhm..." I knew she was lying. "We gonna go to the library and then I'm gonna see if she aunt Hali will let us hang out over there"

"Ard, cuz I'm not tryna be over there" she was talking about home. We live with our mom and her dirty douchebag boyfriend Rick. Our mom never really took care of us, she was always out tryna get money for drugs or here beating on us. She used to beat on me and Nyla all the time, but she knows not to hit on Nyla no more. 

"Yeah, me neither" I said.

We walked over to the bus stop. We hopped on the bus once it pulled up. I looked inside my bookbag for some bus money, but I couldn't find any. 

I turned to Nyla, "You got $3" 

"Nah" 

That's when the bus lady decided to add her two cent "If ya'll dont got no money the get off!"

"Ard, calm down!" I yelled back, like clearly we going through some stuff right now. SMH😒

We got off the bus and started walking to the library. It was only a couple blocks down so we would be alright. I decided that now was a good time to ask if we could go over our aunt's house.

Me: Hey Auntiee!

Auntie💖: Hey gurly! What's up?

Me: Nun much, Nyla and I wanted to know if we could come over today

Auntie💖: Of course, but i wont be home for an hour and a half

Me:  Ok thanks, thats okay tho bc we about to head to the library

"She said we could come over but she not gon be there for another hour and a half" She nodded her head" Ard"

We was still walking but we only had like 7 blocks left. We was coming near the light, when this car came pulling up beside us.

"Wassup shawties"  The boy speaking was some fineee chocolate skin brother. He had dimples and waves. Shoot, he was looking like a snack. But I don't have the time or patience to be messing round with no drug dealer. Speaking of which, he's a drug dealer, or no.He's friends with a lot of drug dealers. He live in the same projects as us. He used to go to the same school as me and Nyla. But now, he go to college. Smart and Cute! But as I said, I already got enough on my plate without having to deal with these lil boys.

"Whatchu want?"

"Dang mamas what's the attitude for?" 

"Wym?"

"Nvm. Yall want a ride tho"

Shoot, this nigga ain't go do us no harm, we might as well take the ride. So, we hopped in. 

"Man, you is finnneee! You gotta lil brother?" Nyla always doing too much.

"Nawww. But where ya'll going?" he asked.
