Nariah Ayche'a Washington

Monday morning. Four days and a week left of school.

Prom is on Friday and honestly, I don't even want to go. I'm not the type of girl to spend hundreds of dollars I don't have on one night.

An expensive dress that'll I never wear again. Shoes that I can't even walk in. Make up that'll cause bumps on my face because of my sensitive skin. I'm good.

After throwing on a tank top and jeans with my whites forces, I walked to the kitchen and grabbed two breakfast bars and a sunny D. "I'm gone ma" I yelled.

She opened her room door and popped her head out " I got a job interview today so I won't be home when you get back"

"Interview? You already have a job ma. If the bills getting to be too much, I'll get a job"

"No I got it. Just go to school and do what you been doing. I'll be fine"

I sighed and walked out the door to catch the bus. I put in my headphones and stood at the stop. I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Phoenix.

"Hey stranger. Wassup" I smiled removing my earbuds.

"Shit, just living. I ain't know you went to school"

"Yea I graduate in a few days"

He smiled and nodded "Cool. What time you gettin home?"

"By 3. Why, Wassup?"

"Maybe we could chill later. I'll meet you here around that time and we could go to my place. Cool?"

I nodded as the bus pulled up "Yea that's fine. So I'll see you in 7 hours"

He laughed "See you in 7 hours ma"

Phoenix King Harris

I walked to my supplier house which was a few houses down from Nariah bus stop. This nigga name Lucky but he ain't a Lucky muthafucka'. He the dirtiest nigga I know and I'd never trust someone like him. He cheated his way to the top and shows it off.

I knocked 5 times in a pattern and walked in.

The guards searched me and I walked to his office.

Lucky is a high yellow ass nigga. Big ass diamond earrings, fat ass Rolex, true religion everything. And that safe with money for days right behind him.

I pulled out half of my profit and tossed it on his desk. He gave me the original weight of crack and I walked out. I always kept our meetings short and simple.

The walk back to my place was maybe a half an hour. I stay in a 1 bedroom but its not a studio apartment.

The couch is worn down but doesn't look bad. The curtains and shit look alright. I don't complain about them. The living room decent in my opinion.

I walked into my bedroom and went straight to the bathroom. Walking back into my bedroom, I stripped out my clothes and laid on my bed. I have a king sized but its on the floor.

I threw my arm over my eyes and before I knew it, I was out. I woke up a few hours later and looking at the time, its 2:30.

I hopped in the shower and threw on basketball shorts and a wife beater then a grey hoodie and white forces.

I took my time walking to Nariah bus stop and when I got there, her bus was pulling off. She smiled when she saw me and threw her arms around my neck. "Wassup beautiful" I smiled.

"I'm glad to be out of school. " she sighed throwing her back pack over her shoulder. It looked heavy so I took it and threw it over my shoulder.

"Damn girl. What you got in here?" I laughed. She playfully pushed me and smiled.

"All my AP homework. Its cool if I do my work at your place?"

"Yea that's fine " We continued to walk to my house and 10 minutes later, we were there. "Its not much but this is my place"

"Naw I like it. It gotta home type vibe to it" She walked over to the couch and sat Indian style,pulling out her homework. I brought out a family bag of chips and a liter soda with 2 cups. "Thank you"

"No problem. Its cool if I turn the TV on?"

She nodded and put on her glasses, not looking up. I turned it on the bill Cunningham show and sank into the couch. This shit is more dramatic and interesting then Jerry and Maury.

Nariah sighed loudly and I looked over at her. "Wassup?"

"I'm getting frustrated with this calculus" she mumbled with her hands on her forehead.

"Take a break then come back to it. That's what I do" I shrugged. She nodded and closed her notebook and put it to the side.

"I'm hungry. You mind if I cook something?"

I shook my head and gulped down some Sprite "Ion think shit in there though"

She stood to her feet and I watched her ass as she walked into the kitchen. She got a nice lil ass on her forreal.
