The Baddass Gangleader

Chapter 14

Alexander walked in of all people. I quickly looked away blushing and tried to continue our conversation. Gabby looked from Alex to me back to Alex and back to me with her mouth dropped open.

"Oh shut up." I told her slightly laughing.

"So who is he?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows.

"Just a guy I ran into at the store." I said slightly biting my lip and blushing remembering how that day went.

As we started eating again Alex sat on a bar stool on his phone. I started thinking, maybe he doesn't really remember me? Maybe he lets a lot of girls sleepover and just doesn't care? There was a million things going through my head when I heard my phone vibrate on the table. I quickly picked it up and saw a text from an unknown number.

-Who's your friend? <3Mr. Boss Man

I instantly started smiling remembering calling Alexander Mr. Boss Man when at his house. I saved his number and then responded.

-She's a new friend from school, Gabby. <3 Riles

I then put my phone down and kept chatting. Alex walked out soon after sending the text with a bunch of food. It was about 1 by the time we left. Gabby said she had dance at 4 if I wanted to sign up to the studio.

They have classes you can take or just have studio time shared or solo. As well as having a small little gym and cheer or gymnastic mat area and trampolines for learning new tricks. I told her I would ask my dad and get back to her on it.

We headed back to the school and vibed to a bunch of  songs getting stopped at almost every red light. Now I am just sitting in the parking lot about to go back home when my Dad called.

Hey sweetie, you coming home yet?

Yeah I was just about to leave school. I even made a new friend her name is Gabby. We went and got some lunch together and we have soooo many things in common.

Really? Thats great sweetie I just knew that you would find some great friends.

I hope so but having one seems good too. Oh I almost forgot, Gabby takes dance classes at a studio really close by I was thinking maybe I could go to some with her here and there?

That sound nice, but we do have a studio space just for you, we can talk more when you get home. I have a meeting to get to so drive safe, love you.

Love you too Dad. Be home in 10.

I plugged my phone in again and started playing my love is love playlist. While that may sound very "lgbtq+" it only kind of is. While I may not be apart some songs just hit different. Same love started playing and I am completely jaming and may or may not be speeding. The wind blowing through my hair screaming the lyrics out. I got stopppp at a red light.

"And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
If I was gay I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the Youtube comments lately
"Man that's gay" Gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
A word routed in hate, yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins,
It's human rights for everybody
There is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!
When I was in church, they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water, that you soak in is then poisoned
When everyone else Is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans, that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same But that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal
Damn right I support it"
