Geniea/3✨

• Michael •

Mother and joe gave us an hour to play outside. Jermaine, Tito and Jackie are gonna go to meet their girlfriends at the park, and me and marlon are gonna go along with them.

I hate walking down our block to get to the park. It's worse than where we used to live too. I wish we could move back. Mother said the neighborhood would be a nice one but she only said that to make us feel better about moving.

I miss my friends especially Cassidy. She's my old friend from my other neighborhood. I heard she was gonna move here 2 weeks after me but it's been 2 months now.

Where is she already?!

We finally made it to the park, making sure to doge any trouble or joe would get us. There is actually a lot of kids here too. I noticed a few people from my class here too.

"Ok, well you kiddos can stay here and play with blocks, while we go and talk to some honeys" jackie pushed us onto the playground.

"why don't they ever take us with them"? marlon pouted. "i don't know, but do you wanna play on the swings"? I don't trust any of the girls anyway.

The only girl i can trust is cassidy. "so when's your girlfriend cassidy coming"? marlon said swinging on the swing next to me.

"she'll be here soon" i pout. Even though she was supposed to be here already.

"who's cassidy"? somebody said from beside me. It's tyson, is he following me? "how'd you know i was here"? i watch him sit down on the swing next to me.

"i didn't my mama let me come out for a bit, everybody comes here" he smiled. "well, hi i'm marlon, and cassidy is mikes lil girlfriend from our old neighborhood, she's coming to live here".

Marlon said putting all my business out into the world. "girlfriend"?! he smiled. "shhhh! don't say it so loud man" if my brothers find out i have a crush on cassidy they'll bully me for eons.

"ok, ok my bad man" he laughed.

"who's cassidy"? someone said from behind us. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Geniea the Terrible Terrorizer of All" tyson smiled at her.

"ugh, eat shit tyson!, and also why hasn't your dad paid my father back"?! she yelled. "he needs just a couple more days" he hid his face.

"a couple more days? i should just send mookie to kill you now" she shrugged carelessly picking at her nails.

I hate geniea really bad. She's so mean. "well to answer you question, cassidy is just mikes girl" tyson nudged me. "your girl"? she stepped closer to me.

"yeah and what about it"? i get up standing directly in front of her. "hm, this cassidy, when will she be here"? she crossed her arms. "soon why"? i crossed my arms too.

She stepped closer to me this time, making me back all the way up to the swing, "if i catch her on my turf her ass is grass" she snapped walking away.

Why the hell does she care? It's not like cassidy is gonna wanna be her friend anyway. "whew man, she likes you A LOT" tyson laughed.

"it's not funny, she's becoming a problem for me now and it's getting annoying"!

"wait, who is this chick"? marlon asked confused. "she's Mr.T's daughter, he's the biggest drug dealer in this neighborhood and city" and she's the biggest annoying girl in the world.

"woah, i would stay away from Mr. drug dealers daughter mike" marlon cringed. "trust me i want nothing to do with her marlon".

"yeah but she's got eyes for you man" he shrugged.

"michael"!!! mother called from the kitchen. "yes"!? i yelled back.

"someone is here for you"!!! she yelled.

It's cassidy!! She's finally here! I raced down the hallway to the front door to see cassidy. There she stood, cassidy! Her two long ponytails laid gently on her shoulders, her dark brown eyes stared at me, smiling with that little gap in her to front teeth, she had on a puffy coat since it was really cold outside.

Her nose turned a bit red from being outside. But she was perfect to me. My friend cassidy...
