I woke up at the sound of my phone dinging from a notification. I got up and rubbed my head from the headache that was beginning to take over my brain. I looked down at the bed and seen Damon sleeping peacefully. I looked back at the window behind me and see that it was dark outside. I looked down at my phone and seen that it was about 9:00. I panicked, quickly getting up. I screamed at Damon making him jump out of his sleep. He looked up at me in confusion.

"It's 9:00!"

"Sh**!"

He yelled, getting up and throwing his shirt on. As much as I wanted to stay, I knew I had to go before my dad got home. I ran out of Damon's bedroom door, him following behind me. He shut the door behind him. We both ran into his car and he instantly started it up. He pulled out of his driveway and drove up the road to my house. He stopped in front of my house. My dads car wasn't there, and it wasn't in the garage either, because he always parks outside so he can get to work faster.

"You gone be Ight?"

He asked, looking down at me. I looked up at him and smiled, nodding my head. His face came down meeting mines, and he kissed my lips before I got out of the car. I ran to the front of my door as he pulled back off to his house. I unlocked it with my key. I walked to my room upstairs without making any noise. I was trying to make sure my brothers didn't know I was there, cause I knew they'd try to blackmail me over this situation. We always tend to do that to each other.

"Caught yo a**."

Darius said, coming into my room. He's in 10th grade at the moment, while my other brother, Deandre, is in 5th. He's young, so he doesn't really care what we got going on.

"Who's the dude with the Black corvette?"

He asked chuckling.

"None of your business. And you ain't gone say sh** to dad or ima let him know you took one of his condoms to yo homeboy house to go mess with one of your lil thotties."

I said back. He looked at me like he saw a ghost.

"How you kn-"

"Oh you thought I ain't no about that, didn't you. I always knew you was stupid."

I said chuckling. He looked at me and pushed me to the bed. I was to weak from laughter to fight back. We both stopped laughing after a few seconds.

"How was the first day?"

I asked.

"It was straight. Ian gone lie though I seen this fine lil shorty though that's new here."

"Boy gone somewhere. You know all you wanna do is hit and leave her looking stupid."

"Nah fam, shorty interesting, and I wanna get to know her. We could be like friends with benefits or whatever."

"Yeah yeah, whatever, you always say that and then do the same sh**. I'll believe it when I see it."

I replied nonchalantly.

"Ight, we gon see."

He replied, giving a smirk before leaving the room. It sounded like he was actually interested, but again, I'll believe when I see it. I swear Darius can't keep his stuff in his pants.

I pulled out my phone to text Damon. I wanted to let him know I wasn't in trouble and got away with it this time so he wasn't worried or anything.

"We're safe. Pops ain't home yet and my brother gone keep his mouth shut."

I texted him. The 3 dots popped up, letting me know he was responding.

"Ight cool. How you get him to do that?"
