1 year ago (Maya pov)
I was in school talking to my best friend DaQuan. He was talking about how his daddy was in jail again. I feel bad for him cause his momma is a crackhead and his daddy is always in jail. And I heard DaQuan was in a gang. But my home life ain't better than his. My daddy left me as soon as I was born because apparently we didn't think I was his. And my momma died in a car wreck when I was 5. So now I live with my Granny. "Maya, is you even listening?" DaQuan ask tapping my shoulder. "Huh? Yea. Hey Quan can I ask you something?" I say
"Yea"
"Tell the truth. Is you in a gang"
"Why you askin?" He says.
"Well I heard Kiyah say it. And you wear the color purple and gray a lot like the Royal Press Gang." I say
"Well I guess I should tell you. Yea I'm in the gang. I joined this summer. Okay. I joined cuz I was tired of being lame and shit and I thought when my daddy get out he'd be proud of me." He explain.
"WOW! OH MY GOD! THEY LIKE ON SOME GANG GANG SHIT!" I say surprised cuz to be honest I was kinda jealous now. They were a cool gang and my cousin was in that gang before he moved to Atlanta for his rap career.
"Wow you sound like you wanna join." He say laughing but then an idea popped into my head. Maybe he could let me be in that gang.
"Can you for real let me join!" I ask.
"I'll have to ask Big Shotta. He the leader of the gang. But Maya, this is serious. You really wanna do this?" He ask with a look in his face
I think about it for a second then nod my head yes. "Okay. Meet me behind the liquor store at 7." He say as the bell about to ring. I just nod and get ready for what's ahead.
Ok I did this for y'all to get a lil backstory on Maya. I kinda like this. Don't forget a vote okayy! Byeee✌🏾❤️🦋
