Who are you?

We were at the shop getting Khirys new battery when a beautiful lady and a boy walked in.
"Niggaaa is that who I think it is." The boy said to Khiry.

"Yessir." the dapped and squealed like little girls.
"You back?" the boy said.
"Yep Coolin with my mama and sisters."
"Aw so ya really laying low." He whispered to Khiry he looked my way but I made it look like I was on the phone mididing my business.

"Gotta get my education."
"You still in tho? Is it true talk to a Nigga!"

"Aye chill we in a public place." he said lowing his hand and laughing they then exchanged numbers and the people walked out.

Khiry's car was done so we was good to go.

"You hungry?" He said. We haven't really said much on the drive.

"I guess." We pulled up to Shake and Fries and sat in I love this place causes it's retro vintage type of thing plus it's black owned.

"So you haven't said much."
"We have nothing say."
"Im sorry did I do anything?"
"No but we're not friends."
"So you only talk to friends."

We were almost at Shake and fries when he swerved around.

"What are you doing!" I was gripping my seat and my ass was at my heart I mean the other way around.

We pulled into and empty lot.
"What the fuck I'm not ready to die sorry for just being quiet." I said breathing in out. I felt like I just got off a roller coaster or something.

"Just ask me okay." He said annoyed.

"Ask what?!"I said even more annoyed.

"Calm down." he said grabbing my hand I snatched it away.

"Who was that guy?"

"My childhood friend lil Mike."

"Okay now I'm hungry let's go." My stomach growled on cue .

"Nah ask me..." He said I sighed and rolled my eyes.

"How about just tell me I hate playing guessing games. What ever it is is your business." He started up the car and pulled up to Shake and Fries finally.

We ordered our food and when he bit his lip I realized his grill I never paid much attention till now.

"I finally got it fixed."

"Are you like reading my mind?" I said smirking.

"A lil bit."

"You just seem-"

"I know like a nice guy well I can be nice and." He paused.

"And what?"

"I really hate people who play dumb."

"Well I guess I have a new hater."
The waiter sat are Shakes burgers and fires down and we ate.

"Why drugs?"
"Are dads."
"Oh."

I paid for are food and we left we haven't talked in two weeks.

Khiry:

I was embarrassed for Solie to find out Im kinda a run away drug dealer.

When we lived away , before my parents got divorced.

My dad and Solie's were the biggest drug lords still are my dad tried to get me in the game and I was.
I played football maintained being a good son and student by day and a drug dealer by night.

I was the typical dealer except I had respect and required it from anybody who talked to me my sophomore year I started getting suspended for beating ass for disrespect and not having my money.

I got kicked of the football team for an a assistant coach snitching that I sold drugs in school when I didn't really I beat his little cousin ass and it was his payback.

I got back on the team but my Junior year pops wanted my to be a full time dealer and we started arguing.

I made a family selling and stuff but I have sisters I want to set an example for Aria knew dad sold drugs but still ain't know about me.

Before my mom divorced my dad I caught him getting head from a regular hoe and punched him. We fought and I was winning.

He shot me because I "embarrsed him."

My mom cried so hard that night even though it was a little graze and that man had the nerve to fake cry too he said I was jumped to my mom.

But the hoe or other woman told my mom what went down my mom snatched her wig and through her ring at my dad.

It hurt she was disappointed in me and that's when I knew I wasn't gone follow in his foot steps.

She filled for divorce and We moved.

My friends back home say that he looking for me since I brought the most money for them.

But I'm not going back, at least I hope not.

"Okay bye Ms.Candice."

I heard footsteps near my door then a knock.

"Come in."

-
I walked in his room to apologize something I never do but I don't want him to think I was judging him. That's all.

"Hey." I said sitting on his couch.
He nodded and I got up.

"If your gonna be "quiet" I can go."

"Shut up."

"And who you talking to?" I said laughing.

"You right my bad let's try again
wassup?"

"What is up." I said looking up and we both laughed then I cleared my throat.

"And I only came to say I'm sorry like before I said it's your business and we are friends if you want." I realized he really ain't hanging around people like that.

"Cool and nice shirt."
"Thanks?" I should be saying that to him that hood really brought out his skin. Him wearing that durag and grills make him look "real tough."
I started laughing.

"Man what's funny."
"You Mr. Thug."

I walked out his room guess I made a new friend.
