Crew Love

UNEXPECTED

"You said ya main hustle was scamming right?" Quan asked.

"Yeah" Jaece said.

"And you dont do it like that no more cause of Lani" Quan said.

"Yeah" Jaece said.

"Ight, I got a opportunity for you" he said as he sat on his bed.

"Wassup" Jaece said as he walked to the chair.

"I want you to work for me" Quan said as he took his shoes off.

"What you mean work for you" Jaece asked as he sat in the chair.

"I want you to sell to them niggas in your school" Quan said honestly. He took the rolling tray off his nightstand and put it on his lap. He reached over and took a few buds out his mason jar, like Jaece his weed was free in the jar. (Mason jars mask the smell of weed)

"Ahh man I dont know. I'm a high honor roll student, ion wanna get caught doing that shit" Jaece replied.

Quan looked at Jaece shocked. He didnt know Jaece was on the honor roll. He thought he was a nigga with typical grades.

"Oh shit man, congrats" Quan said with a chuckle.

"Thanks, I wanna set a example for my lil bro. He 12 and ion want him in the streets at all. My pops and moms work too hard for us the be fuckin up, it's the least we can do for them" Jaece said as he got comfortable in the chair.

Jaece's words hit Quan. He noticed a lot about Jaece, and realized they were more alike then he thought.

"I got respect for you lil nigga, word. You got a good head. That's what you need out here or you'll get lost. I'm lucky my shit went up the way it did or I'd be a bumass nigga on my moms couch cause I denied a full-ride scholarship." Quan said. Quan was a high honor roll student as well in school, along with Eulani. Education was important to Ray and she kept her kids in the books no matter what. She promised herself that she would push her kids to be the best they could. When Quan denied a full-ride scholarship Ray was furious and put him out after his graduation. Quan started selling drugs and met the top plug in the Bronx, Rico. Rico took him under his wing for 3 years, and taught him all about the streets. Rico was killed and Quan quickly took over his spot. Despite his young age, Rico's workers respected him because he was just like Rico. He rode for his crew and made sure they were good in every way possible. Money came in quick and Quan brought E, and Red into the game with him. They bought an apartment together and been chillin since.

"Why the fuck would you do some shit like that nigga" Jaece asked with his face screwed up.

"Cause ian wanna leave yet. Lani just got to high school, and my moms was still workin herself to death. She still do that dumb shit. She dont need to for the simple fact I got enough to take care of her and Lani. She dont gotta work for nothing in a couple months tho" Quan said as he finished rolling his blunt.

"What happen in a couple months" Jaece asked curiously.

"I turn 21 and I can open up my own shop. I wanna open up a fire ass barbershop. I'm talkin that shit so lit, niggas come to just to sit there. They dont even gotta get they hair cut. I was talking bout that shit with Red and he going into business with me. It'll be legal money so if anything happen my moms and Lani can fall back on that" he told Jaece.

Jaece sat there quietly. He shook his head in agreement, and pulled his phone out and texted Eulani.

How you and Nae Jaece.

We good, she eating and shit. The doctors said she can go home Wednesday Eulani.

That's good. You dont need no blanket or nothing? Jaece.
