C 18: Book 1

Sneaking Around..

Lucas POV

Santo: I like this shit right here." he said grabbing a nice button down shirt. The girls had gone shopping yesterday so the boys went today.

Graduation was tomorrow, and to be honest I was proud of myself. I didn't think I would be able actually graduate with the shit I had going on, but i had made it.

Me: I like this fur coat." I said taking it off the shelf.

Issa: that shit hard, you getting that?"

Me: hell yeah." I said holding it up. I immediately put together an outfit in my head and was satisfied with it. With boys, it aint take long for us to find a couple of fits to put together. I had my shit and I checked it out, and then waited for the rest of the boys.

Santo: ok so the shopping part is done, but I need a cut."

Issa: Sev can do it."

Me: Sev be cutting hair too?"

Issa: I mean she is just learning how to edge up, but she can cut your hair for you."

Santo: I love Sevy, but imma go to a professional." he said. I shook my head in agreement.

Ray: if we finish, I'm ready to head out." he said.

Santo: yeah my brothers are supposed to be coming by soon, so I need to get to the house."

I held my bag and walked with them out of the mall. Climbing in the backseat of Santo's car we drove off.

Santo: tomorrow is gonna be hectic for real." he said.

Prince: hell yea, everybody trying to get ready at the same time is gonna be stressful."

Issa: I know my baby finna be tired."

Me: why?"

Issa: cause she got all these people she said she would help do their hair."

Me: oh yeah, Cy told me about that."

Issa: I told her to balance who she helps out so she has enough time for herself."

Me: yeah, I know Cynthia will try her best to help her out so."

Issa nodded his head and we drove the rest of the way silent. I was a bit surprised to see unfamiliar cars outside.

Prince: oh fuck no." he said as Santo parked. I frowned at his reaction and grabbed my bags getting out.

Me: why you say that." I asked. He pointed at the front door as Cynthia...and Craig came out carrying boxes. I gritted my teeth and Santo slammed his car door shut making Cynthia jump. She looked a little pale as she seen me and Santo glaring at her.

Seven came to the door and noticed us. She turned on her heel and raced back upstairs.

Santo: you got seconds to tell me what the fuck you doing at me house bro." he snarled.

Cynthia: he came by because-."

Santo: I'm not fucking talkin to you, imma deal with you in a second." he snapped at her.

Craig:.. I had left some shit, I needed to get in the den downstairs. I just came by to pick em up."

Santo: you knew about this?" he said to me.

Me: not at all." I said starring Cynthia down. She looked away and I could see her face get red.

Me: you helping this nigga?" I said folding my arms. She sighed deeply and put the box she was carrying down as two cars pulled in behind. I noticed the first car as Dre's and the second one as June.
