4 days later...

"No you have to calculate that all the way. You can't half ass the problem, Amara or else it's gonna be wrong-"

"Okay Quinton! I get it," I said as I erased what I wrote down before.

Quinton was helping with the work I had missed today.

"Did I miss anything in school?" I asked.

"No, well I don't know about you sophomores but the seniors ain't do shit," he said as he looked at me.

"Where you goin after school anyway?" I asked.

"Uh home?" He replied causing me to roll my eyes.

"I'm talking about after you graduate," I said.

"Oh... I'm gonna do this intern shit James signed me up for," he replied.

"What's the internship for?"

"Law."

"Of course," I chuckled.

"Make sure you get all of that," he said as he pointed on my paper.

"You know what you want to be?" He asked.

"I don't know yet... maybe a stripper," I said causing him to glare at me.

"See this is why I can't be nice to you yo, figure that shit out," he said as he got up and left out my room.

After I finished my work I went downstairs to the living room to see Quinton sitting on the couch.

I walked around to the kitchen before putting some popcorn in the microwave.

"You gotta pop that loud ass pop corn right now like you don't see me watchin tv," he said.

"Boy fuck you," I said before pushing myself up to sit on the island.

My popcorn was done right after Melanie and Alana walked in. Melanie was Alana's bestfriend, been that way since like forever.

"Hey, what you makin?" Alana asked as she put her keys on the counter.

"Mine," I said before opening the bag.

"Hey Melanie," I said.

"Hey girl. Bitch you ain't tell me your new brother was fine like that," Melanie said as she leaned on the island.

"Girl He is right there," Alana said as she went into the pantry.

"Okay and? Shiiid he know he fine, I don't care if he hear me," Melanie said causing Alana to laugh.

"Girl why am I hearin that you fought mothafuckin uhm... Adrian. Wasn't y'all friends?" Melanie asked.

"Girl that was a long time ago," I said before putting some pop corn in my mouth.

"Okay but why y'all fight and why the fuck didn't you call me first? You lucky her cousin ain't jump in-"

"Wait Adrian's cousin was there while y'all fought?" Alana asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Why you ain't call us anything could've happened?!" Alana asked.

"It all happened way too fast to be callin people and when I approached her I thought I was approaching a friend not a opp," I replied.

"Damn... but still why y'all fight?" Melanie asked.

"Because... I don't even know the shit was stupid. She thought I was turnin 'Hollywood' because I hadn't gone back to see her in a while and because I said I ain't want to fuck with her brother," I said before Kaden came downstairs.

He stopped when he was behind Melanie. Melanie did have a nice ass so I see why he stopped.

"But her brother is a bum though," Melanie said.

"Exactly. The fuck my little sister look like messin with a bum?" Alana said.

"Hey y'all," Kaden said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Hey birthday boy," Alana said.

"Nigga my shit was yesterday," he said.

"Oh for real how old you turn?" Melanie asked.

"... seventeen," he lied causing me and Alana to laugh.

"Boy you know damn well you just turn sixteen why you tryna cap?!" I said causing him to laugh.

"Mane... why you had to go and do that?" He said coming down from his laughter.

"Yo can y'all shut the fuck up?!" Quinton said looking at us.

"Who you talkin to?!" I snapped.

"You nigga!" He said as he walked up to me.

"Don't be walkin up on me. Better stop playin before I dropped you like I did yo bitch," I said causing it to get quiet before Kaden and Alana started laughing.

"You ain't right!" Kaden laughed.

"She ain't even my girl no more so stop associatin me wit ha," Quinton said.

"Wait so you single?" Melanie asked.

"This bitch," Alana and me said at the same time.

"Yeah," Quinton replied.

"Well won't you look at that so am I," Kaden said before Melanie turned back to Quinton.

"Good to know all the good ones aren't taken," Melanie said while doing her signature seductive look she does when she's interested.

You could see Quinton doubling back in his facial expressions before he said, "it is isn't it."

He took some of my popcorn before heading back into the living room.

"Ohh bitch... he just curved you," Alana said before busting out laughing.

"That's okay," Melanie said trying to play it off.

"Ya see I wouldn't do that. Quinton just a bitch," Kaden said.

"Is that so?" Melanie said cracking a smile.

"Yeah, he don't do shit but sit around and do nothin. I on the other hand play ball," he said causing Alana to shake her head.

"You good at it?" Melanie asked.

"Am I good? Girl I can show you if you let me," he said giving Melanie his signature look this time.

"You mean on court right?" Melanie said but she was slightly blushing.

"That too," he nodded.

"Shit we got a basketball court right outside, I can show you na," he said before he took her out back.

As soon as they left me and Alana started laughing.

"Lil bro got game," Alana laughed.

"Yo I'm done foolin wit y'all, I'm going the fuck to sleep," I said before throwing my pop corn bag away.

I went upstairs before going asleep.
