Chapter 9

"Whassup Ray?" JG said catching up with her in the hall.

"Hey", she said turning around to face him.

"So you just figured I wasn't coming to school. I couldn't get a 'J baby, I'm on my way to school', or nothing."

She laughed before saying, "This would have been your first time coming this school year".

"I'm dead ass", he said putting his arm around her shoulders, "Why you ain't tell me you was coming to school? You had a niggah scared as fuck. I woke up looking for you and shit".

"Sorry, I thought you figured I was coming to school", she said while they were walking down the hall.

"Not after what happened last night. I thought you was gonna chill for awhile", he said.

"Listen", she said turning to face him, "You can't tell anybody about that".

He ignored her and kept walking.

"JG, promise me", she said catching his arm and making him face her, "Promise me you won't tell anyone".

"I promise baby", he said kissing her on her forehead.

"Good", she said smiling.

"Yo, you riding with me, or you riding the bus with your girls?" he asked as they continued walking down the hall.

"I can ride with you, if I don't have practice. Hopefully it's cancelled".

"Cause you want to ride with me", he said laughing, "You be trying to play like you ain't feeling me".

"I'm not trying to play anything. I was feeling you, but you feel too many people", she said.

"Mane, where you getting all this from?" he asked and stopped walking.

"All of what?" she said smiling.

"Yo, Ray I'm dead ass serious. Who keep telling you all this? Cause I know for a fact you ain't never seen me with another chick. What the fuck I look like chasing after you, and bringing chicks in your face?"

"I don't have to see you with anyone. All these chicks be in your face, and you telling me you turn them down?"

"No, because I'm not committed to nobody, but if I was, I would turn down everyone of them".

"I don't believe you".

"Well, you don't have a choice, because you live with me now. You gone know when I eat, sleep and shit. I ain't gone be able to hide nothing from your ass". He said laughing.

"We'll see", she said walking.

"Yes we will", he said following her.

"Ray, you had me searching this whole damn school for you, and you out here with his played out ass!" Nadia said.

"Yo, you better check your girl", JG said.

"She don't have to check shit!" Nadia said getting in JG's face.

"Nadi, chill", Raven said pulling Nadia away from JG.

"Naw, don't tell her shit", he said walking towards her.

"I'll see you later", Raven said to JG.

"Or not!" Nadia yelled.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Raven asked Nadia after JG walked off.

"I can't stand his wanna be ass. He ain't nothing but a hoe!" She yelled.

"How you know?" Raven asked.

"What you mean?" Nadia asked quieting down.

"Nothing".
