"Why?" She asked.

"So I can put my number in there crazy." I said.

"Hm." She said handing it to me.

I went to the Call log and saved my number in her phone as "Breon 💙".

Then I called my phone from hers and saved her number as "Diamontè."

Should I add the heart? Yeah i'ma add the heart.

I saved it as "Diamontè 💕"

My moms, sister, and Mrs. Tasha the only people in my phone with a heart. Now Tae got a heart by her name.

"Girl slow down." I said giving her phone back.

"You drive faster than me." She said.

"No I don't." I said.

"Play some music." She said.

I went on my playlist and played one of Roddy songs "Down for real" that's the homie fasho.

"She wasn't down for real." I sung along with the lyrics.

"Yeah of course. I gave the whole hood a free cut for a week." I said.

"Wow that's so nice of you." She said.

"I know." I said.

"So what you want me to do?" She asked.

"Sit back and watch me perfect my craft." I said.

"It's a friday niggas trying to go out to the club tonight." I said.

"Ou that sounds fun." She said.

"See that's the sarcastic part you don't get. He was so smart that he was dumb just like you." He said smiling causing my blood to boil.

I pulled my gun out and pointed it at him.

"You got 5 seconds to get out of here cause I feel defeated and I don't like that feeling." I said making him get up and hold his hands up.

"MOVE!" I yelled.

He walked out the barber shop and ran down the street.
