Harrisboy

Chapter Fiffteen

At Liggins Manor, Lucious was looking at the asteroid he stole from the seminar.

"Alphanium...." Lucious thought as he held the tiny asteroid in his hands. He looked at the news and saw that Harrisboy hasn't been around since the day they first fought. His eyes turned dark as he sat the asteroid in his desk.

"Dad?" Lamar said as he poked his head inside his office. Lucious turned around in his chair. "Yeah son?" Lucious Asked.

"Huey's grandma is having a Easter dinner and I saw wondering if you could come with?" Lamar offered. Lucious smiled softly.

"Sure thing, I'll put on my finest suit." Lucious said.

Huey walked down the stairs to see Katie's pretty face setting up the table with Grandma Gail. "What's the occasion?" Huey Asked. "It's Easter. I invited your friends Katie and Lamar over." Replied Grandma Gail.

"Oh Cool." Huey said unenthusiastic. Grandma Gail wondered what was wrong while Katie was setting up the table. "Katie, has their been anything wrong with Huey when y'all hangout?" Grandma Gail Asked.

"No, Miss Harris. He seemed pretty fine when we were together at the party." Katie Said. Grandma Gail went to cook dinner. "Hey, can I tell you something?" Katie asked. "Promise you won't tell anyone."

"You know I don't tell out secrets, child." Grandma Gail reassured.

"Well, There's this guy that I like. We met a couple of nights ago and..... I think I might like him." Katie explained.

"Well, who would this boy might be?" Grandma Gail Asked.

Katie was hesitant to say.
"It's...uhh...Harrisb-"

Just as she was about to say, there was a knock on the door. "Huey, go get the door!" Grandma Gail Said. "What was it you was about to say?"

"Nothing." Katie Replied.

Huey went to go answer the door to see Lucious and Lamar come in with formal clothing. "Hello again, Huey." Lucious smiled as he walked through the door. "Sup man." Huey greeted Lamar.

Lamar walked right past him, not even acknowledging him.

The rest sat down for dinner as Huey put a napkin on his lap. Grandma Gail brought the sweet potato pie to the table as Huey and Katie smiled. Lucious tried to reach for a piece but Grandma Gail smacked his hand away with a wooden spoon.

"Ah ah ah, you forgot to say grace." Grandma Gail enunciated as she did a finger wave. Lucious chuckled softly but menacingly as he rubbed his palm. Huey was a little disturbed by this. Grandma Gail took the ham out as Lucious started inspecting the knife on the table. He started scraping it along the fork playfully as Huey cringed softly.

Lamar hid his face behind his hand, feeling embarrassed by his father. "What's wrong son?" Lucious Asked. "Nothing Dad, I'm fine." Replied Lamar.

Katie started eating along with Huey. Grandma Gail sat down to see a scratch mark on Huey's wrist. "Huey, what happened there?" Grandma Asked. Huey had to come up with a excuse.

"Ummm, I was heading back from school today when I tripped over this raggedy sidewalk." Said Huey. Lucious soon looked over and saw the cuts. He thought Huey's excuses were flawed. He soon thought about the day him and Harrisboy were fighting on the truck, under his alter ego, The Black Plague.

"How did you get that cut on your arm again?" Lucious Asked.

"The raggedy sidewalk.....knocked me down." He noticed that Lucious had a receiving scar down his cheek. The same scar The Black Plague had. The tension grew across the table as Huey suspected Lucious about something.

Lucious soon began to get up as he got his coat on. "Sorry everyone..... I have to go." Lucious Said, hurrying to the door. "Wait Wait Dad!" Lamar said as he went after his father. "Why are you leaving? Is it because of Huey?" Lamar asked.

"I need get away from that loser and that bony white girl you hangout with. You're a Liggins. You deserve better." Lucious Said as he walked out the door.

Lamar walked into the room sadly.

"I'm sorry y'all had to hear that." Lamar said.

"Yeah, I heard everything that old creep said." Katie Said as she rolled her eyes, heading towards the door.

"That old creep happens to be my father. And I'll become half the person you are! So keep your tight little mouth shut about things you don't understand!" Lamar yelled.

"Jeez, man!" Huey said.

Lamar rolled his eyes. "Oh I know what you're gonna say. You've been defending the girl all day." He walked out the door as Huey left with distraught.

"What the hell did I do?" Huey thought.
