Nahla Reese

"Where you going?" Polo asked over the phone

"Getting ready to go to the corner store" I told him as I slid on my slides.

"For what? Yo ass needs to stay in the house"

"Boy a bitch hungry and there ain't shit in this crib to eat. Link don't hit until Thursday so" I shrugged

"Man you should've told me I would've came with you"

"Come with me then nigglet"

"I can't OG just left and I ain't taking Leah and Baby with me that shits dead" He said making me laugh

He hated taking his younger sibling anywhere because they always did shit to embarrass his ass in front of females.

"You some else"

"I'll facetime you though how about that?"

"Nigga you have no choice. You was gonna facetime me regardless"

"Damn not gonna let me have a choice?"

"Hell nah what kind of best friend would you be if you didn't facetime me while I went to the store? What if they take me?"

"Nahla don't start with your bs" He said in a serious tone

He hated when I talked about shit like that.

"I'm sorry I forgot" I laughed

"Get yo ass beat man"

"Whatever facetime me now cause I'm heading out" I said as I got my money and house keys walking out my room and down the hall.

Nobody was home so I didn't have to tell anyone where I was going.

Just as I walked out the apartment his facetime call came through

"Wassup Nigga" He smiled into the camera

"You're so annoying" I laughed making my way out the building



(Him on Facetime)

"That be you I don't know what you talking about" He pointed at me making me roll my eyes "Yo ass stay rolling yo eyes G its a miracle they ain't stuck yet"

"Omg I hate you Mir. Ima hang up" I said as I crossed the street

"I quit I quit" He laughed

"I should go over after and beat yo ass" I told him

As I crossed the street I passed the same dudes from a few weeks ago. I ignored them as I kept talking to Polo.

I walked inside the store

"Hey Jimmy" I greeted the owner

"Hey Lala" He greeted back

I went through the store getting everything I wanted before going up to the cashier

"How was school today Lala?" Jimmy asked as he scanned my items

"It was cool"

"She lying Jimmy she almost got suspended" Polo yelled

"Nigga always snitching" I said hanging up

I knew I should've brought my damn headphones

"Ya'll two are some else" Jimmy laughed "You're totals $10.45" He said handing me the bag

I was getting ready to pay when the same dude from last time came up to us

"I got it Jimmy" He handed him a 20

"I could've paid for myself you know" I said as I denied the 20th call phone Mir

"I know baby but just cause you can don't mean you have to" He licked his lips before smirking

I turned away so he couldn't see me blushing.

"Well thank you"I grabbed everything walking out the door with him right behind me

"Where you going in a hurry" He said as he took a seat in the passenger side of a car



"Where else would I be going?"

"To yo mans house" He raised an eyebrow

"Nah I'm taking my ass home"

"Let me get your number then before you leave" He smiled

"Nah I'm good thank you for the food though" I said walking away crossing the street

I walked down the street making a right since I was gonna go over Jamir's house

I know his ass was gonna be mad but he shouldn't have been annoying.

I walked inside his building seeing him coming down the stairs

"Where you going?"

"Nigga to go see where you was ignoring my damn calls and shit" He said turning back going up the stairs making me laugh

"I'm sorry Mir I just got caught up talking" I said as we walked in his house

"To who? Cause I know damn well it wasn't Jimmy"

"Nah it was this dudes who's been trying to get at me these past few days"

"Come on Lala you could've at least texted me"

"I'm sorry for real"

He's been feeling paranoid since the incident because apparently the guys who killed the dude were looking for his friend and considering the fact that they seen Blast,Wooski and Mir with him they could easily come after them to get to ol boy.

"It's cool man" He waved me off taking a seat on the bed

I sat down next to him eating my chips.

It was silent as hell and I hated it cause we were never quite unless he was mad or thinking.

"Mir?" I called out

"Hm?" He said not looking at me

"Are you still mad at me?"

"Nah" He said

Instead of saying anything else to him I grabbed the remote turning the tv on.

Jamir Coleman(Polo G)

I watched as Lala turned the tv on.

I know she think I'm mad at her but it's not even that. I'm just losing it. Knowing that niggas out there willing to kill whoever to get to their target is crazy.

I mean I ain't scared to die but I'm scared to lose a loved one.

"Breaking news Karlos James 16 of the north side of Chicago has been found shot to death on the 1400. According to relatives he was a star student at Lincoln Park High School. It's not apparent if this was gang related or mistaken identity at the moment"

"Karlos?" Lala said in shock

She was cool with him so I know she's feeling some type of way

"Lala you good?" I asked

"I don't know. This shit is crazy. Like he was cool and never bothered anyone so why him?" She asked more to herself than to me

"Because people don't care no more"
