(Rap music playing from an old school radio)
(Sitting on the door step of my house)
Do you ever think we'll get out of here? Like out of the hood? ( my friend Veronica says looking at the cracks in the concrete)
Yeah, there's a future for people like us. We're not in a gang, or spending counterfeit money, or dealing drugs. ( I say and we laugh for a good 5seconds)
Or murders bahahah (Veronica says and it gets awkwardly silent) well,(inhales and exhales deeply) just watch who you hang out with, ok?( I say and pat her back) I'm heading inside(I say and get up nervously.

(I go to my room and take off my hoodie because it was strangely hot when I came in the house)
Hey, what was that about? (My brother stevia says while looking at me with his bloodshot red eyes)
I thought you said you were done stevia?(I say grabbing his face aggressively and looking at it)
What do you mean? I'm off the GOOD stuff, this is just a little plant called canabis. ( he chuckles walking out of my room)
Drugs are drugs stevia! It doesn't matter what type it is! ( I yell aggressively)
Shut up and drink your kale smoothie bitch! (He says and I laughed sarcastically)
———
(The next morning)
Hey! Get up! Your gonna be late (stevia woke me up saying)
As long as you have that plant in there, I'm not riding in there! ( I say getting up)
Why? It's literally a plant! (He says annoyed)
( i put down my phone and looked him dead in the eye)
I think you forgot where we live stevia, they find that and they explore your whole past. We don't want that know do we? And not to mention stevia, WE ARE NOT WHITE! They will kill us and get away with it.
(I inhaled while starting to cry)
Hey, baby sis it's alright. Just because dad and mom were the biggest drug lords in our city does not mean we have to take there paths, ok?
(He says rubbing my shoulders)
Did you say? Drug lords?
Uh, yeah you didn't know? (He said looking at me confused)
Wait so that means.....come with me now!
(He says running to the car)
I'm not goi-
NOW I SAID! (He says interrupting)
(I grabbed my hoodie and ran)
———
(We arrive and a dingy looking storage room)
Why the fuck are we here stevia? (I ask annoyed)
Just wait jade, calm your tits. ( I roll my eyes)
(He gets out a key, and unlocked the garage gate)
Wtf... ( I say getting closer)
(He warms up his hands while praying)
(He lifts up the garage door)
Ho...ly......sh....it!
(We say In sync, taking in what we're seeing)
