Wind. Thunder. Lighting. Dark Clouds.

I run frantically, heart racing, sweating, out of breath.

" I told you. You ain't got nobody but me."

I fall to my knees, tears streaming down my face.

" come to the Storm, nephew."

°°°

I wake up with a pounding headache and a bed drenched in sweat.

Today bout to be a long day.

°°°

After getting ready for school, I go downstairs and see pops sitting on the chair with the TV on. I walk in the living room and see him sleep on the couch. I turn off the TV.

" I was watching that."

" pops you been sleep." I say with a hoarse voice.

He sits up, yawning and stretching.

" you good? why you sound tired or something?"

I shake my head to keep from talking any further.

" sit down."

I do as I'm told.

" what's wrong?" He asks, looking at me worriedly.

I shrug.

" pops I just got a bad feeling about today and I really ain't in the mood for no bull." I say slouching down in the chair.

" maybe it's just your ment-"

" nah pops, it ain't that. I can feel it, shit bout to hit the fan."

He looks at me, not knowing what to say or do.

" well you know you can stay home if you want." I could see the concern over his face.

" nah, won't ever be a man if I keep running from my problems will I. imma head out." I say getting up.

He sighs but I see the small smile on his face as I make my way to the door.

" call me if anything happens."

" yeah." I say, heading out the door.

°°°

" yeah that shit crazy bruh like I dead ass wanted to beat her ass for stepping on my fucking foot." Noelle ranted.

I wasn't paying him nor My'Lynn any attention. My eyes were focused on the entrance to the cafeteria.

" prence you good?"

I nod to keep from talking. I keep my eyes fixed on the doors.

" wassup shawty." I hear and don't even turn my head.

" boy gone for I dust yo ass in front these chern." Noelle says standing up. I don't try to catch him this time.

" I been wanting to beat yo ass too." Khailil says, walking towards Noelle. They were inches a part from one another.

RING! RING! RING!

The bell beams through the cafeteria and the swarm of kids get up in a frenzy. Noelle and Khalil continue to stare one another down.

" noe don't follow up with him" I say tugging his arm in my direction.

" no cause he really got the right motherfucka and don't even know it."

Noe walks beside me as Khalil stands there looking stupid. My'lynn rolls her eyes and follows behind us.

" imma beat his ass" Noelle says as we walk but the only thing I only had one thing on my mind—
where's wiz?
