ALLEN HUE EDWINS

"Ya can't be going to a white man's store with a whole nine on ya hip Shotty" I told him

"Why? He must know ima blast his ass if he say sumn wrong" he chuckled as I just shook my head

"You gon learn one day" I say

"Nawl you gon learn, you can go in the store... ima wait out here" he assures me

"Why? So you can start trouble and leave it up to me to back you up?" I ask, tilting my head to one side

"Thats the problem with you, you always think Ima start something, plus... I can't go in with a nine on my hip, there's a metal detector" he says pointing to the top of the door

I glare at him before walking in the store

DEEJAY WOODARD

"Mmmmmm Dee" she moans as I penetrate her more, closing my eyes

"DEE" a voice shouted

I quickly turn around to see Sonny

"YO MAN WHAT THE HELL!" I yell and snatch the cover off of the girl

"Mannnnnn" I said

"I just came to tell you, you had a phone call, they waiting... you up here sticking it in people hole and shit" he chuckles as I kiss my teeth

I grab the cover wrapping it around my waist, walking downstairs

"I bet you hate we live together huh, it coulda been worse, coulda been Hue that caught you" he said as he followed me

I picked up the phone

"Do you mind lil nigga" I say to him

He rolls his eyes and walks away to the kitchen

"Yo who dis?" I ask into the phone

"Hello is this DeeJay Woodard?" A female voice said, sound about white

"Yeah, why?" I ask

"This is your sister Tyanna's teacher, apparently she thinks it's okay to curse and act out in my class"

"And you called me for that? That damn girl 16, Ian her daddy, better call my mama, Ian that girl guardian" I scrunch my face up and hung up the phone as I heard snickers come from the kitchen

"Who was it?" Sonny asked with a big smirk

"That was yo ass playing games huh?" I asked

"Hell yeah,shoulda seen yo face" he laughs some more

"You do a good white voice, you should call Bill and Hillary Clinton" I lean against the table

"Nigga you should put on some clothes" he flicked me off

I had completely forgotten Ian have no clothes on

EDWARD ED JONNSON

I walk through the house door, slamming it

"Aye lil nigga calm ya self" DeeJay said

I grunted and place my hands on the wall

"What's wrong with you... lil nigga?" Sonny asked trying to be funny

"Man ain't nothing funny about my current situation" I glared at him as he raise his hands in defense

Allen and Shotty come through the door as Allen smacks him upside the head

"Well what the fuck happened?" DeeJay asked

"Man Tykeria pregnant" I said as everybody gasped

"You lyin!" Shotty said confused

I shook my head 'no'

"How you slip up man?" Allen asked as everyone groaned

"It was last night, Ian have a condom so I used a latex glove... it was kinda loose" I admitted as everyone bursted into laughs, I look up in disbelief

"Niggaaaaaaa" Shotty said holding his stomach

"You though a medical glove was gon work" Sonny said laughing harder

"Man y'all laughing but I need help!" I semi-shout, getting their attention

"We bout broke as shit!" I yell

"We?" DeeJay said

"Who is we? I got money in my safe" Allen said

I kiss my teeth

"Y'all dopeboys, y'all sell crack and shit" I roll my eyes

"Nawl I got lemonade money" Sonny said

"You shoulda joined in while we was doing what we was doing" Shotty said

"You saying that but that money ain't gon last all yo life, think for a minute, we got bills, cars that need gas, food that needa be on plates, and now I got a baby on the way, I talked about a abortion with her but she snapped" i said

"He right about the food thing, we got all these plates but nothing to put on em" Sonny said as everyone began to chuckle

"Well what the fuck we gon do Eddie, since you wanna complain and be ungrateful" Allen asks sitting down

"All I know is, Ian flipping no patties for nobody" Shotty said as everyone agreed

"I don't know man but, we gotta get money and we gotta get it fast" I sighed as I walked up to my bedroom and flopped on my bed
