You: You're telling no one, not even AleMattia: But that's my bro-
You: 'bUt tHaT's mY bRo' You ain't say that when you beat his ass.
Mattia: Oh wow.
You: But I'm not fucking playing, until we know what's happening, don't tell anyone.
Mattia: If you say so
I was still shaken by the fact that Mattia and his stupid ass self didn't put a fucking condom on but I just had put up with it and notice that it was too late. I knew if I told anyone they would all say the same thing, "That's rape!" and "He raped you!" but I had already established that it was an accident and nothing except that. I grabbed the duvet that was thrown against the wall by Mattia when he was frantically looking for the condom, and placed it back onto the bed to do- up my bed. Before I could even finish making my bed Mattia slumped his body onto the bed in fatigue, checking his phone and flicking through Tiktok.
Mattia: I got a message from Miedo
You: What's he saying?
Mattia: We have something to do, and you need to come
You: Why me?
Mattia: Probably because of what happened the other night
You: I'll come
Mattia: It wasn't really a choice, Miedo needs you and I specifically
You: Say less. when does he need us?
Mattia: About... Ten minutes
You: Talk about last minute for fuck sake
I put on my puma hoodie and puma sweatpants, getting ready for whatever Miedo wanted us for. I sprayed my perfume on my body and waited for Mattia to get dressed. It was weird to think that Miedo wanted us specifically for 'the job', in my opinion I hadn't done anything to earn his respect so I didn't know why he wanted me to do this.
Mattia: Ready?
You: As I'll ever be
I grabbed my phone and keys, following Mattia out of the school and locking the doors behind me. He started the car, revving the engine before speeding out of the parking lot and zooming to Miedo's 'house'. I checked my phone to see the time; it was nearly midnight which meant that we were probably gonna gank someone; take their shit and leave. I turned the radio on to see what songs they were playing; '21 questions' by 50 cent started playing and I couldn't help but sing along to point where Mattia and I were blasting the song and screaming the lyric, unbothered if anyone could hear us. Mattia swerved the sharp corner, driving down the road where Miedo lived. Maybe doing something illegal would take my mind of the whole shambolic event that just happened, hopefully. We both hop out of his car and head through the backyard as usual, walking into the house via the back door.
Daniella: Sweetie!
I could distinguish her voice from a mile away. She came skipping towards me in her louboutin heels which clicked noisily against the wood laminated floor.
You: Hey Daniella! Looking beautiful as usual!
Daniella: Omg Trinity stopppp! You here for Miedo and Fantasma?
You: I think so, Miedo said he needed Mattia and I
Daniella: Well good luck!
I walk back up to Mattia who was talking to a group of guys that I had never seen before, he wraps his hand around my waist and carries on conversing.
Guy1: This your girl? If she isn't I'll take her
Guy2: Nah she's too fine to be yours, I'll have her
Diego: That's Mattia's girl, she's unavailable
He said walking towards us.
Diego: Trinity how'd you get in here?
Mattia: Take a guess dickhead
Diego: Wait you're part of the gang?!
You: Yep
Diego: Damnnn, you must be a novice
Mattia: She's an intermediate, unlike you.
Diego rolled his eyes and continued to talk to the other guys.
You: A what?
Mattia: Fantasma will explain when we go upstairs
Diego: Miedo's probably waiting for you then
We walk away from the group of boys and Diego to go upstairs to see Miedo and Fantasma again. The house was pretty empty compared to the other days I had come, it was probably because they were setting up for the party tomorrow although they still blared music throughout the house. I tail Mattia up the wooden creaky set of stairs and stroll towards the closed door of Miedo's 'office' which had smoke seeping from the bottom of it. Mattia opened the door to Famtasma and Miedo lighting their 3rd spliff of their sesh. I was smacked in the face with the smell of marijuana which could probably get you high from a mile away just by the smell.
Miedo: Trinity, take a seat
I follow his instructions and take my normal seat which was the one opposite Miedo and next to Fantasma.
Fantasma: Do you know the stages of the gang?
You: No
Fantasma: For women there are three stages: novice, intermediate and elite. For men there are five stages: novice, starter, intermediate- starter, intermediate and elite
You: And why are you telling me this?
Miedo: You are the fastest woman in the gang who went from novice to intermediate, and we want you to become an elite
You: Okay so what do I need to do to be an elite?
Fantasma: Oh no, you're already capable of being an elite but we want to ask you if you'd be okay to be an elite
You: Well what do I do if I'm an elite?
Miedo: You won't be called to as many operations but we expect you to be here every other day to represent us
Mattia: If she accepts does she have to go through the same process
Miedo: Definitely
You: What's the 'process'?
Fantasma: Don't worry, we'll talk about it later
He said with a childish look on his face.
You: Sure, I accept
I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I feel like I was doing the right thing somehow, all I knew was there was no turning back and I had to prove to them that I was capable of being an 'elite'.
