Life of April

Geesh

April's POV 

    I officially dropped out of school today. I felt bad but I knew my siblings understood. I sighed. Candice has been acting strange as fuck lately. No pressure tho. It's just odd how she coming Home with brand new Jordan's on and shit. Like today she wore a Marilyn Monroe shirt and leather Versace pants with a Gucci bag around her body. The fuck she think this is. 

    Candice came home early today. She tried walking past me but I stopped her.

    "What do you want April?" She asked irritated already. I rolled my eyes and put my hands on my hips. 

    "Why all of a sudden you lookin brand new. New shoes, new purses, everything. You up to something? " I asked raising an eyebrow. She squinted her eyes at me.

    "You're sick. Omar gave me the money." She said and walked away. This bitch here, I thought. 

    Shayla came home hours later from school. 

    "Hey." She said.

    "Wassup. How was school? " 

    "Same ole same ole. Dayssia tried me today and I got sent to the office for punching that thot." I laughed.

    "She deserved it." 

    "Why did Candice leave early?" Shayla wondered. I shrugged. 

    "She's up to something. I know her well. She was poor just like us now all of a sudden she looks like the fucking Migos. Nah,  she ain't slick." I said wisely. She done lost her fucking mind, mama might not have taught her to do well but I will. Shayla smirked.

    "She either hoeing around or stealing. I know she too lazy to get a damn job. Ima go, I got homework and gotta write an apology letter to this little bitch." Shayla replied walking into the room. Candice appeared just as Tyler got in the door. 

    "Stay Candice. We got to talk." I said.

    "I'm busy. Later." She said dryly walking past me with her bookbag on her back. I got up and grabbed her arm. 

    "Get off!" She tried jerking away as I aimed for her bookbag. 

    "What are you hiding?" I announced. She struggled to break free. I eased my way to the bookbag. She screamed no. It was heavy. Candice pushed me off her and secured her bag and ran out the door. I laid there looking like an idiot. Tyler laughed.

    "I don't wanna know what just happened." He said walking away also into his room he used to share with Marquez. 

    Oh she not slick, I thought as I went in the kitchen to make everyone something to eat.

    Candice's POV 

    Man, I got lucky there. She almost had access to my gun and my cash. I sighed of relief as I wiped the sweat from my forehead. I walked around the neighborhood for a while. I seen Brelle and Asia come my way. I ran into a set of bushes with my lurking ass. They didn't see me and they stood in front of the bush. Brelle pulled out a pack of cigarettes and offered Asia one, she denied. 

    "So. You said you knew who robbed us?" I heard Brelle say. My heart sped up. My best friend was gonna snitch on me. I'm not finna get 5 years in the juvenile system as a delinquent. Fuck that, I got better things to do with myself. I was poor they can't blame me. 

    "Oh uh-uh I was j-just kidding Brelle. I didn't think you'd take it this far." Asia stuttered. Brelle laughed and blew out smoke. 

    "Look Asia. I don't know what type of games you play but no one fucks with me or my family. We're getting police involved anyway so just fess up, or else, I beat your ass right here right now. I heard Asia gasp then I heard a smack. Geesh!  

    "Bitch don't fucking hit me!" Yelled Asia. She slapped her back. Oh no. Everyone knows Asia can't fight well. I sighed heavily. Then I heard Asia scream blah, blah, blah.

    "Stop!" Asia yelled. The street was empty today so no one heard. I couldn't let my best friend, or I think my best friend get hurt like this, even though she betrayed me kinda. I jumped out the bushes and jumped on Brelle. 

    I threw all types of punches at that hoe. I was slinging her by her long hair into the street light pole. She shouted for me to stop as she pinched me by my waist. It didn't hurt but it angered me. Asia stood there wide eyed as I threw Brelle on the ground. 

    "Let this be a lesson bitch." I half yelled. I dusted off my jeans and looked at Asia. She was breathing heavily until she took out her asthma pump. 

    "Hello my friend." I grinned. She was quiet for a while until she smiled and said. 

    "Hey. "
