The Hood Girl

"Damn mothafuckin right"

Lakira's pov-
Dre dropped me off at Joey's house. His mom wasn't home so I walked through the front door and headed to his room. I met Sammi in the hall. She looked me up and down then rolled her eyes. I smiled and walked into Joey's room.

Lakira: Hey baby

I got on top of him and layed there on his chest.

Joey: Hi beautiful. How was tryouts
Lakira: I think I killed it
Joey: That's good. How was the fight?
Lakira: Oh lemme send you the video.

I sent it to him and watched it with him.

Joey: Damn. Remind me not to piss you off
Lakira: You really shouldn't. They really out here pussy as hell though like real talk
Joey: What happened?
Lakira: After I won they shot at us
Joey: Holy shit are you okay?!
Lakira: Yeah I'm good don't worry bae
Joey: Oh my gosh I should've been there. You could've gotten hurt
Lakira: baby I can handle myself. I've been in this life for a while
Joey: I know baby but still
Lakira: I can take care of myself.
Joey: Fine...

He kissed the top of my head and got in his phone. I rested on his chest and got on my mine. After an hour I heard his mom come home.

Joey: Hey Babe?
Lakira: Yeah?
Joey: We should tell her
Lakira: She doesn't already know?
Joey: I mean she does but we should actually talk to her
Lakira: You're right.

I cleaned myself up a little then walked out of the room. Joey slapped my butt and laughed

Lakira: Freaky ahh
Joey: You know it

When we got to his mom she looked happy but surprised to see me.

Jen: Hi Lakira
Lakira: Hi Jen
Joey: hey mom

She waved at Joey.

Jen: So what's up?
Joey: Well you probably already know about me and Lakira
Jen: Yes I do
Lakira: And we wanna know your thoughts
Jen: I think it's great. I didn't expect it. Honestly I thought you were gonna go for Sammi but I'm happy about this. Lakira is an upstanding young woman. She strong and independent and beautiful. I like her a lot
Lakira: Thank you Jen! That's so sweet
Jen: Any time. I also know that you can fight so you can protect my Joey
Joey: Mom!
Lakira: Nah she's right
Jen: Yeah I'm glad you're dating my son
Sammi: Ugh why are you though?

She popped up out of no where

Joey: Jesus Sammi. And what does that mean?
Sammi: I'm just saying. I never thought of you dating someone like her
Lakira: Who's "someone like me"?
Jen: Sammi I'm gonna need you to choose your words wisely
Sammi: Well she's just.... ghetto
Lakira: And?
Sammi: You're from the hood and Joey's from... well here
Joey: Oh no
Jen: Sammi stop talking
Lakira: No let her go ahead and speak her mind
Sammi: I'm just saying Joey's a white guy and you're a good rat black girl. Those two don't mix. Ghetto and good don't mix.
Lakira:  You wanna see how ghetto I can get?

I stepped closer to her.

Sammi: See? you're violent.  Joey should be with someone non violent like me
Joey: Sammi shut up
Lakira: Lets take it outside. I'll be even more violent
Jen: Just do what you have to do. She won't be my problem tomorrow

I smiled without breaking eye contact with her. She seemed confident. Bad idea. I grabbed her by her hair and dragged her out the door. I yanked her in front of me in the back yard.

Lakira: Swing
Sammi: You aren't gonna win this babygirl

Joey walked out and started recording it. He mounted "I gotchu baby" and smiled.

Lakira: Why you think that?
Sammi: You're a ghetto, hood rat, black trash slut that should stay away from Joey. Face it. You're a n*gger.

My face went blank. Everybody got quiet. She had a smug look on her face. I was boutta lose it. I started walking away but she just had to open her mouth again.

Sammi: Just go back to Africa.

She mocked an African accent.

Sammi: Wakanda foreva

Her laugh is what really pissed me off. I turned around and ran towards her. I part slapped, part punch, and part pushed that bitch in her face. She got know right on the ground. I started whoopin that ass real hard. She started crying.  I said bitch with every hit. I didn't fucking care.

After I felt like she had enough I got up and started walking away.

Lakira: Dont ever disrespect me or any black person like that again. Call an ambulance and if she press charges then just know we got the whole thing on video. Everything you said to me.

I heard her mutter an "I'm sorry". I went back up to Joey's room and showered. I heard the sirens and smiled to myself. After looking out the bathroom window I saw that it was just an ambulance. I laughed and changed into one of Joey's shirts. I started taking a nap in his bed. After a couple minutes I felt him get in with me. He whispered in my ear

Joey: Babe? You still awake?
Lakira: mmmhmmm
Joey: Good Job. She's not pressing charges and my mom says you did good too
Lakira: mmmkay

He kissed my neck a snuggled up next to me, holding me close.

Joey: You beat both those bitches asses
Lakira: Damn mothafuckin right
