After School

"Ima drive to my place. So me and Layla can work together cuz I know y'all gonna end up arguing if we work at yo house," Jayceon said.

"Alright."

He started smiling.

"Whatchu cheesing for."

"You trust me," he said.

"Duh how we gon be in a relationship without trust."

He grabbed me and kissed me.

"Get in the car goofy," I said laughing.

After awhile Jayceon left and went to his house. I then texted Destiny and told her Miracle is staying over Jalahs so I can get my project done.

I was sitting on my bed playing games on my phone when I got a text from Cortez.

Sometime around four Cortez said he was outside. So I got up and let him in.
Not gon lie I do actually got trust issues so my gun is in this lil purse I been carrying around just in case.

"Wassup BP," Cortez said.

I rolled my eyes.

"What? You don't like that name?" He asked.

"Nope"

"Why?" He asked.

"If I was bulletproof I wouldn't have needed to go to the hospital."

"But you recovered like you were," he said.

"That don't even make sense. If I was bulletproof I wouldn't have need to go to the hospital."

"People still gon call you that regardless," he said.

"Ya know what? This convo is irrelevant to why you're here."

"I was hoping we could just kick it before we started," he said.

"Naw you ain't here for dat. You here to help get this work done then your gonna leave."

"Wow so we can't be friends?" He said.

"We can...if you drop all this tryin to get me shit."

"Mttchtt fine. Can we be friends now?" He said.

"Yeah I guess. Now let's go to my room and get this work done."

So we go up to my room. He pulls out canvas's and sketch paper. I pull out paint and paint brushes. And we got to work.

By the time we decided to start back again tomorrow it was 8 and Jayceon came in.

"Yoo," Cortez said to Jayceon.

"Wassup," Jayceon said.

"Nun just cleaning up," he said back.

"Anyways because you here late you can have dinner with is tonight Cortez."

"Oh alright," he said.

"Did you drive here?"

"Naw somebody dropped me off," he said.

I turned and looked at Jayceon.

"Jayceon...baby, can you take him home?"

"It's okay you ain't got to," Cortez said.

"I'll take you home," Jayceon said.

"Thank you," I said.

"Yeah thanks," Cortez said.
