Malik- hi im malik im 17 my life has had a few rough patches here and there but im trying to survive in the ends of peckham on a daily basis. I have 1 brother who is seven at the moment and his name is nathaniel. My older brother jaden was killed by certain people I do not wish to mention cause their all washed up goats. And I have one good friend named Jay or in other words Javan. If you ever piss me off you wont like what happens next cause I get pissed off at anything that comes my way.

" yoo Malik hold up bruv" I turned around to look at who was calling me. "Yeah wagwan javan," I said tiredly wiping off the dried yellow bits in the corner of my eyes. Javan shook me trying to wake me up. I Couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to him so I carried on walking to the bus stop. It was 12 in the afternoon I knew we were late for school but that was the least of my problems. " oi you still goin to becka with the big back party tonight" Javan said. I rotated my head and gave him the look of ' for real bruh', he clocked on to what I was feeling. " okay then how about we smoke a zoot now, cuz I swear you're not in top form man". My head lifted up quickly " that's more like it jay".

As we rolled the weed and backy in the paper we got the lighter and lit up whilst cars passed and people watched with disappointed faces looking at the pair of us. I sucked the weed in hard but my chest gave up on me, I coughed for 3 minutes non stop gasping for air while my throat ached alongside as well. " take it easy MK" javan patted me in comfort. "Im fine" I insisted pulling myself to a more stable position with my hands on my knees and head swinging down facing the concrete. I spat one last time on the floor to get rid of the foul taste, left in my mouth and sat back down on the bench of the bus stop. The bus finally arrived 12:20 late as usual, as I paid for the ticket I walked down the aisle of the bus to sit next to javan. " you alright now" he said. I nodded agreeing to ensure I was fine. Slowly as tried to gain my lungs back I watched people outside the window and wondered if the city of Peckham would ever change from bad to good. The blocks of buildings were all packed up together and all races of people wondered around the ruins as if it was acceptable. To me Peckham is a dirty place with bad things just waiting to happen, once I finish school I'm out of here and I'm taking my girl with me and build a better place in peaceful town where there ain't no guns, knives or violence for the both of us. But I remember you have to think realistically cause there ain't no hope for us youngers in peckham.

The school day dragged horribly and the weed was a result of it, on top of that I and mk were received a detention for being 4 hours late, I swear down its not even that deep, teachers overreact sometimes when it is unnecessary. And Malik keeps acting weird and drousy too, I try to cheer him up with my cusses but he hardly lifts a smile. " mal.. mal ..... mal.. MALIK" I shouted impatiently. "What" he replied slightly pissed off,," why ain't you listening man I called you more than three times I argued. " jay leave it out " he said walking away from me. I didn't leave him to walk alone so I rushed forward to him and stayed on his pace. There was silence for a while, then I brought a new topic in to break the awkwardness, " so you sure you ain't going to beckas party, I heard SHHHANICEEE is going and her big ass friend Justine as well. My God, her ass is big mmmm the things I could do with THAT". He looked at me smirking, I knew I lifted his mood up because he became more interested as soon as I mentioned someone in particular. " your on some next level Jay I swear, he laughed out, and I can't anyways I have to look after Nathaniel tonight but if you see Shanice tell her to call me init he said slowly heading to his block. I rushed to my side of the building and started to get ready for my night, cause I was getting ready to play game of hoes, hmmm Mk sure is missing out horribly (smh).
