"Imagine waiting nine months for a son just for him not to look like you" my dad said staring at me and my brother
I sucked my teeth "anyways I saw Ryan"
"Nigga she live across the street where she always been at. If you really wanted to see her you could go to her door" my dad said
"I saw her at schools nd she fought this girl On my movah she got hands too" I said
Tyrone sat up "you still crushing on her"
"When was I crushing on her" I asked
Toni came in and sat beside me with a bowl of popcorn "you was in love wit her. The second some called her fat you was ready to beat they ass"
My dad hit her upside her head "she not lying son."
"That was just the right thing to do. I know I wouldn't have wanted someone picking on me all day everyday"
"I'll pay you 25 he still love her" Toni said to Tyrone "no cause I know he is"
"But she look mad different" I said
"Elaborate" my dad looked at me interested
"Like she even more beautiful. She had her hair in a ponytail and it's longer than middle school. She got braces. She ain't smile but I know it's beautiful. But she also looked unhealthy. She skinny as hell. Like she don't eat and she looks depressed. She ain't talk. They was calling her mute. Also Toni you gotta beat this girl ass for me"
"Pause. Who I gotta beat up" Toni said standing up
"Some girl. I'll asked Ant for her name. She tried to spit on Ryan but the shit got on me. I was gonna beat her ass but ry was my main priority at the time" and she sat back down
"Ryan got hand huh. But we should go check on her or something." Tyrone said getting ready to stand up
"I'll go." I said jumping up smiling. I grabbed my hoodie and walked out the door
"How old her brother again" I heard and I turned around to see Tyrone behind me
"He a couple months younger than ry so maybe 16" I told him as I crossed the street
I went up to the house and knocked on it
It took a minute before her mom answers the door "hey is Ryan here"
