Book One | New Friends

I woke up the following morning with the slightest memory of what had happened last night. Guess I must have passed out at some point but the one thing I couldn't get out of my mind was what I'd heard.

Should I be mad that he was fucking some other nigga after I'd just dropped him off?

I mean it's not like we together or anything but what the fuck!?

This shit is so fucking messed up and worst of all is that he had the nerve to answer the phone whilst doing that shit. I mean did he do it on purpose just to mess with my head or what?

You know what! Fuck this shit I gotta get ready for school anyway.

I then reached for my phone which was somewhere on the floor where I'd dropped it last night and saw that I'd gotten about a few missed calls from Clay along with some texts, non of which I felt like answering. So then I threw my phone on the bed and got up to go take a shower.

The water was real nice and warm so I took my time with it cause it was also helping to clear my thoughts about what had just happened.

"Dre, you almost done baby?" My mom asked knocking on the bathroom door. "I don't want you to be late for school"

"Ya Ma almost, jus' give me a minute"

"Aight hurry"

I then quickly finished up and stepped out, made my way back to my room and started getting ready. I picked out a black T-shirt along with some black jeans to go with it and paired it all up with some white sneakers. Took a quick look in the mirror to make sure everything was on point then grabbed my book bag and walked out of my room.

"Morning Dre, would you like a ride to school?"

"Nah I'm good thanks, I think imma jus' walk today"

"Aight you sure?"

"Yea"

"Okay then see you later"

"Bye" I said walking out the door then put my headsets on and started listening to 6LACK - PRBLMS.

It was real quiet outside. Basically no cars, nothing at all which gave me a time to think. A. part of me knew I had no right to be mad but I couldn't help but feel betrayed you know.

I mean...

Out of no where my thoughts were then interrupted by a car which drove past me then stopped midway and began to back up towards so I started to move a bit slower with a bit more caution in each step I took.

Wtf

I thought to myself "I wonder who that could be, cause I hardly know any people around here and that car didn't belong to anyone that I knew so who could it be?"

The driver then hooted at me and stuck his hand out the window to signal for me to come closer so I did but still being cautious cause I know I'm a big dude and all but I ain't trying to get kidnapped or nothing.

"Yo nigga, hop in!" Some dude asked sticking his head out the window of his car.

"Huh?"

"I said hop in...you want a ride or not?"

"Uhm... sorry, do I know you from somewhere?"

"Yea man, we go to the same school. You that new kid, Louisiana right?"

"Uhm yea.... I am but the name's Dre not Louisiana by the way"
