"Loco wanna talk to you." Dani said. We  were chillin at her house watching a movie when her phone had rang. It was 6pm and we were both gettin high. Loco was one of the guys from our gangs and him and I didnt get along too well. We constantly argued and fought and we didnt agree on anything. I hated Loco and he knew it,so what the fuk he calling me for? "What he want?!" I hissed. Dani shrugged and handed me the phone. "Watup?" I answered. "Aaliyah...I need you to come with me and some of my boys to the store." He said. Hell naw aint no way! This nigg@h really think I wanna ride with him and his most likely to be,high ass hell friends? So I can steal them something. Hell naw! I aint no damn vending machine. "Loco I aint stealing shi+ for you! Do it your damn self!" I sneered in the phone. "Ugh why?! But you the best at it!" He said. "Nope." I said. "Fuk you then trick! Put Dani back on the phone." He said. "Trick?! You poor ass nigg@h! I know you aint calling somebody a trick!" I snapped. "Well you gone remain  a trick to me

 

To me unless you do me this favor!" He said. Damn. His ass always knew how to corner me. "Fine pick my ass up at Dani's." I said hanging up. I handed her back the phone. "Damn girl,you leaving me?!" She asked. "For a little bit...Loco dumbass want me to get stuff for him and his friends." I said putting on my shoes. She rolled her eyes and didnt say anything. An hour later I heard a horn beep. I walked out and got in the car. Just as I thought they all were high. "Damn! Yall nickas need to let a window down!" I said. Loco began driving and we were on our way...

Today Sunday and were finally done moving into this piece of shi+ apartment. I mean damn! Who in the hell would even allow themselves to live here?! When we first got in Chicago,the first thing we saw was aboy getting jumped by three dudes. My mother shook her head and my dad pretended not to notice. "You guys want me to go to school with that?" I asked them. They both sighed at the same time and ignored my question. I was pissed that they actually were going to let us move here! I didnt want to dodge bullets and risk getting killed...just to go to school! That shi+ is crazy. Right now my mom is downstairs making dinner and my dad...shi+ I dont know. Ever since we first stepped foot in this house hes been acting kinda...shady and distance,like he had a secret or something. But who gives a fuk? Not me. Right now Im chillin in my small ass bedroom,playing my 360 when my mom comes in. I ignored her ass cuz I was still ticked that we were really here! I mean I had to

 

Leave all my friends... "Darnell turn this game off...I need you to go to the store right quick." She said. "What?! Its almos fukin 8!" I yelled. "Watch your mouth! And so what if its 8?!" She said. "Mom...you dont ever go outside alone at night! Mom we aint in the suburs of Cali anymore!" I said. She ignored me and laid a 20 on my dresser. "I need milk,eggs,and...some more cheese." She said and walked out my room. What the fuk?! I turned off my game and snatched the money up. I got dressed and walkd out the door.

It was pretty cold outside so I was rushingto the store which was down the street. There was a green low rider parked outside and there were about 4 dudes who  were in it. All of  a sudden a girl got out that car and she went in the store. I didnt see her face just her backside and from what she was wearing...I knew she was good looking. I went in the store and we were the only customers. As I was getting the milk I was watching her out the corner of my eye...I still couldnt

 

See her face. I got what I needed and paid for it then I headed out. The door closed behind me and I stopped to open my pop when...BAM! I fell to the floor. Someone had pushed me. "What the fuk?!" I yelled. I heard the guys in the car yelling,"Come on Aaliyah lets go!" I turned around and the girl was picking up chips as the shopowner was cussing at her. She had ran into me and we both were on the ground. She looked up at me and screamed,"What the fuk were you doing in my way?!" Now usually I wouldve yelled back but...I saw her face. I felt like I was staring at an angel. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. My girlfriend from Cali was straight up ugly compared to her. She picked up her shi+ and then hopped in the car. The car zoomed off. I was still on the ground mesmerized of how...beautiful she was. The shopowner coming out the store yelling is what broke me out of my fantasy. "Which way did that bi+ch go?!" He yelled. I picked up my stuff and ignored him. There was

 

No way I was going to rat her out. I started walking home with a smile glued on my face. Is it possible for someone to look that good? I walked in and set the groceries on the table. "What took you so long?" My mom asked. "Nothin." I replied going up to my room. I closed my door and started texting one of my friends from Cali. His name was Corey and weve been friends since the 2nd grade. I soon drifted off to sleep...tomorrow would be my first day of school!

"Damn we almost got caught!" Loco joked. It was only him and I in the car now and he was driving me home. "Yeahh if that dumbass hadnt of gotten in my way!" I snapped. Who the hell did that boy think he was?! Then nikka tried to act like it was my fault that his dumbass was standing in front of the door. Loco laughed. I was bleeding on my arm cuz I had hit pavement. "Ah shi+." I said examining it. "Damn ma! You bleeding." He said. "No shi+ nigg@h! Hurry up and get my ass home." I said. He laughed again and then we pulled up to my crib. "Bye Loco." I said getting out. "See ya girl and thanx." I walked into the apartment and when I opened the door a man was smoking with my  mother. He looked older than 30. My mother was naked under her robe and she was smoking. "Where in the hell were you?!" She yelled. I hated my mom,I couldnt stand her old ugly ass. This idiot got my little sister Moesha taken away from us.

 

Someone called DCFS on her and my mom lost custody,now Moesha lives with some rich family in New York. I havent talked to her ever since and that was 2 years ago. She was 8 when it happened. "Out." I sneered going into my room. She yelled something but I slammed the door and turned on some Lil Wayne to drown out her ugly ass. 'Something You Forgot' began to play and then I started thinking about that boy at the store. If I wasnt so angry I probably would have tried to talk to him. He was cute. But who was he? I aint never seen him around here before and trust me...I know everybody! Suddenly my phone beeped and it was from Sycho our gang leader. It read:Ay we doin  a run on the East Side tomorrow at 12. Meet at the spot tomorrow. I texted back iight. Then he texted back:you stole something for Loco today? I texted back,yeah and some silly nikka got in my way when I was running. He texted back:Lol thats funny yeahh he told me,but ayy do me a favor. I said:what do you want me to do?

 

He texted back:I need you to watch out for Dani...I think she doin somethin. I frowned at that. Dani and I were tight,we go way back.. If something was going on she wouldve told me. I texted back:iight well I'll ttyl. I got under my covers and went to sleep.
