Amara POV...
Jamal:Guys meet my cousin Amara.
Monse:Nice to meet you I'm Monse.
Ruby:Hello beautiful I'm Ruben but everyone calls me Ruby.
Cesar:I'm Cesar nice to meet you.
Me:It's nice to meet you guys. Jamal told me a lot about you guys.
Monse:Jamal told us that you were from Illinois.
Me:Yup, Chicago to be more specific.
Ruby:Oh, so that means your used to the violence and gang activity.
Me:Yeah *laughs* So are all of you freshman?
Monse:Yeah, you?
Me:Incoming senior. I'll be graduating from here.
Ruby:Why? if you don't mind me asking.
Me:My mom didn't like what I was picking up and thought I was getting too comfortable with the ghetto so she sent me here. Backwards I know.
We continue to walk to some place. Jamal talking about how much damage a football player can gain in one game, I roll my eyes and turn to Monse.
Me:So what's the hang out spot around here for you guys?
Monse:Hang out spot? We don't have one.
Me: Really? That's new.
Monse:How?
Me: Every group has a hang out spot let be ya house, or some restaurant or park just a place you reside together in peace.
Monse:Oh we do that in our houses.
Me:Okay.
Monse:Do you want to hang out with us? I know your older than us but you seem cool and your the only girl I've ever had this long of a conversation with.
Me:*laughs* Of course, and girl age don't matter when you a cool ass person. Plus if my cousin hangs around you, you gotta be decent.
We keep talking until we get to a wall and we stand on crates to look over it Cesar says he'll be back and we just look over to see if we can spot him.
Monse:Do you see him? I don't see him.
Jamal: Something bad is happening I can feel it. I knew this was a dumb idea.
Me:Jamal, stop being dramatic.
Ruby:Pop a zannie, J. We can't see him 'cause he's being stealth.
Monse:No doubt. He's got this. When has Cesar ever disappointed?
Jamal:Mmm, fourth grade. Kickball tourney. We lost.
Soon we hear his voice behind us.
Cesar:Only cause I picked the kid with no skills and I'd pick you again. Loyalty Trump's victory, compa.
He tosses the beers around but I kindly deny it he nods and puts it on the ledge.
Cesar:Take it in. This is about to be us, this is high school.
They all take a drink and make disgusted sounds I chuckle.
Monse:Ruby, you think your brother's gonna marry Angelica?
