Brice POV
"Ok the chickens done" i say as i place it on a plate.
"Uncle Ben wants his beer bottle"Blessing says coming into the kitchen.
"Then get the damn beer bottle"Emma says
"Thats the problem...theres no more beer..." Blessing says and the room goes silent. I swear you could hear a pin drop.
"No no...there has to be more in the fridge." I say searching the fridge frantically.
Emma pulls me back, shaking her head.
"Shit" i whisper to myself.
"Im not telling him." Blessing says shaking her head
"Me either" Emma agrees.
"Well someone has to tell him that his beer is all done" i snap
"You just did" i hear m dad say and I turn and face him.
"Dad we-"
"Shut the fuck up bitch" he snaps as he slaps me.
"Why didnt one of you make a trip to the store" he adds
"W-we cant really go and purchase something from the alcohol store when we're under aged" Emma stutters.
Dad smirks at her.
"Thats why you use the fake I.D that I made you guys." He says smartly
We all stay quiet.
"Meet me in the dark room" he says; walking away
"Shit this is bad" Emma says
"We havent been to the dark room in a while" Blessing advices
"Just remember to pucker"i advise as we make our way to the basement.
Khalil POV
"Yo whats the deal with you and that new chick at school" justin asks tossing me the basketball
"Yea you been gettin it on with her?" Za says stealing the ball from me
"Nah not at all. Her names Brice.Shes not like that. Shes just...different" i say thinking about her
"Yea she is. But that other girl..Emma...now she is different."Za says day dreaming
"Uh oh. Za has a crush" i chuckle
"Za...this player right here has a crush" justin says
"Yo shut up" Za says as I steal the ball back.
"Yo i told Brice that we would take her and her cousins to the mall and by the way their names are Emma and Blessing" i say dunking the ball
"Can Angel tag along" Justin asks
Za and I smirk and nod.
"Shes gonna bring her big ass head along any way" Za mumbles and i nod.
I cant wait for tomorrow.

I walk sit in class and Brice still isnt here. This is the only class i have with her and yet she isnt here. Its almost the end of the day too. After this class we have one more. I really hope that she doesn't bail on the whole shopping trip.
The bell rings indicating that its time for our last period. Maybe....just maybe shes here, i think to myself as I approach the art room. I noticed that she loved drawing. She doodles in her notebooks and makes aimless shapes on nothing when shes nervous. She loves art but Ive never gotten to see her paintings.
I walk into the art room an Im stopped by Miss. bello.
"You do not take this Class and frankly im glad you dont Khalil" she says.
"Nice to see you too Miss. Bello " i smile
"What are you doing here. You are gonna be late for your last class" she says putting her hands on her hips.
"You have Brice during this period. Is she here" i ask
Miss Bello shakes her head.
"I havent seen Brice today and she usually stops by to check out art in the morning but not today" Miss Bello explains.
I nod and thank her as I make my way out of the class room. I collide with someone and they fall to the floor. When I look, its Brice and of course she has her Jordan's and her hair was under a hoodie.
I help her up as i chuckle.
"Better watch where you're going next time" i joke
"You knocked into me" she says rudely.
"Hey i was just kidding" I explain
"Whatever" she mumbles walking into art class.
.

.
"Yea i don't know if they are gonna show" i say to Za, Angel, and Justin.
"So i drove my Uncles van here for nothing" Za says
"Im s-"
"I hope you guys weren't planning on leaving without us" i hear someone say
I turn and its Emma i think her name is.
"Yea I'm honestly ready to get some new clothes" Blessing says.
I say hi to them and they walk over to the guys and Angel and start introducing themselves. I look back and see Brice walking towards me with her hands in her hoodie.
"Didn't think you would show" i state
"Im uh...sorry for the way I acted towards you earlier" she mumbles but i still smile
"Its all good...now lets go and find you some new stuff" i say but she stops walking with me.
"You don't have to do this for us Khalil...honestly its ok..we can take care of ourselves" she explains
"Yea...but i want to be able to take care of you too" i smile and she gives me a small smile before following us into the van.
By the time we get to the mall, we have gone through almost all of the songs on my playlist and everyone was jamming. I even caught her rapping to some of Kendrick Lamar's songs.
We walk into the mall and look around.
"Yo imma take Emma into Hot topic" Za says smiling down at Emma
"Yea id like that" she blushes and they walk away
"Aye Angel...wanna go to Forever 21 with me." Justin asks
"Um sure...come on Blessing" Angel says motioning for Blessing to join.
I look at Brice and smirk.
"What" she asks skeptically.
I grab her hand and pull her into a shoe store and she looks around in awe.
"No way...you're actually letting me get more than one" she asks in disbelief
"Dont come to me unless you have 10 pairs of shoes ready to be worn" i say sternly and she walks off into an aisle of boots.
After half an hour she has one box of shoes.
"Brice I said ten."
"I don't want you spending money on me"
"I honestly don't mind cause you are worth it" i say and i go to get more sneakers but she grabs me back and I try to pull away. Just as I do so, her hood falls off and what I see shocks me.
Her right cheek is red and swollen. I place the shoes on a chair and pull her out of the store. I drag her outside of the mall till we reach the van.
I stand in front of her as she leans against the van.
"Start talking. No more playing hard to figure out Brice. Im ready to know everything about you." I say sternly and she looks freaked out of her mind.
