" they cool , Derrick swag af tho like his fit goes crazyy " I made a left at the light.

" you think I got a chance with foogi ? " she asked

" I think you have a chance with whoever " I shrugged

" I'm gonna ask him out tonight .. at the Waffle House " she started too play in her hair

" oh " I said in shock , " yeah you should do that , but just not in front of me because if he says no I'd get second hand embarrassment and i don't like that "

" so how should I ask him ? "

" when we get there , before we walk in pull him too the side and be like we'll catch up and then ask him , that way y'all could have privacy "

" okay " she nodded her head and applied lip gloss as we pulled up too the Waffle House.

" you ready ? " I parked the car.

she nodded her head and we got out.

" aye Layla , we definitely gone have too race cause I'm confident that my hellcat uh' kill yours " Derrick hopped out of the car.

" nah , I'd definitely leave you behind " I laughed

" what they got goin ? " he pointed out that raven and foogi were walking off alone.

I shrugged " ion know , let's go eat thoo " I rubbed my hands together as we walked into the place.

-

" may I take your order ? " the cashier asked

" yeah , ummm small bowl of grits and an original waffle please " I rocked side to side trynna generate heat.

" you cold ? " Derrick asked

I nodded and he gave me his letterman jacket.

" thank you " I sat at the booth and waited for our number to be called

" Layla Marshall ? " my old teacher walked over too the table slowly.
yes the one I shot at.

" heyy mrs.Puckett " I smiled , " how's your leg ? "

" there's a bullet hole in it , so you tell me "

I laughed.

" I thought you were in juvenile , what are you doing back in Detroit "

" oh , I got out early on good behavior "

" that's hard too believe " she rolled her eyes
" you stay out of trouble , you hear me ? " she added

" and you stay off that leg , you hear me ? " I smiled

she walked away while Derrick laughed
" that's the lady you shot ? "

" yep , she was an asshole " I rolled my eyes

" TABLE 219 " the cashier yelled

" I'll get it " Derrick got up too grab the food.

while Derrick was getting the food foogi and raven walked inside.

raven wasn't smiling so I'm guessing it didn't go good .
foogi stopped at the front where Derrick was and raven came too the booth next to me.

" so how did it go ? " I whispered

" he said no " she looked sadly
" he was all like im not trynna mess up the friendship , we been friends for too long and allat" she mocked his voice

" awwnnn , it's gone be okay , it's his loss " I rubbed her back

" here you go " Derrick came back to the table and handed me my food.

" thaaank you "

foogi came back and handed raven her food.

we all ate our food and talked until like
1 am and we went too foogi crib.

-

" Layla wake up ! " foogi yelled cause I was dozing off on the couch.

" man fuck you " i closed my eyes again

" you can go upstairs bruh , first room on the right. cause we finna have some shorties over " he responded

" okay , bye " I walked upstairs and got in the bed and went too sleep.

-

I couldn't sleep a hour and I heard hella noise downstairs so I got up and went down there.

" bro y'all mad loud " I walked down and said

" okay and what about it ? " one of the females said.

I ignored her cause imma end up going back too fucking jail.

" Derrick why she got on your jacket ? " she pointed out and making me remember I had it on.

" oh yeah shit , here you go " I took off the jacket and handed it too him

" yeah , and don't be asking for his shit. we don't know you " the girl looked me up and down .

" bitch , shuttup " I said , because she was getting hella annoying like she just wanted me to say something too her.

she gasped " so you gone let her talk to me like that ??" She asked Derrick

he didn't say anything.

" anyways , I'm about to go home. Raven you ready ?" I asked her , she was sitting in the kitchen on her phone."

" yep " she unplugged her charger from the wall and we left the house.
