I woke up to the sound of my bedroom door opening and loud music coming from downstairs.

I saw Isaiah walking in and gently closing the door behind him.

"Hey." I said softly, which caused him to jump a little.

"Hey, you alright?" He asked, walking up to me.

I sat up and showed some distress in my face cause it honestly hurt to sit up.

"Sorta..Well..Not really..." I replied.

He sat on the end of my bed, next to me, showing concern on his face.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I- fell and hit my ribs on the bench at the field..." I lied.

He gave me that 'quit lyin' face. "C'mon now. Don't lie. It was those Chanels, wasn't it?"

"No-"

"Ah!" He interrupted, "Dina already told me."

I sighed and looked down, fiddling with my fingers.

"Look, it's okay. If you don't want me to do anything about it, I won't."

I completely ignored that statement and instead asked him something else.

"What do you guys even do anyways?"

He furrowed his brows in confusion and tilted his head. "Whattado mean?"

"You, and Gabe, and Dina, and X being your boss, like what do you guys do?"

"I told you this already..We're in a gang, and X and Ski are the leaders."

"Why do you call him X? Isn't his real name Jahseh?"

"Yes, but we used our gang names to keep our cover safe."

"Oh..." I looked down. "I never knew you guys were actually serious..."

"Well, we are."

"I don't wanna lose you two."

"Trust me Mari, we're professionals." He stood up.

"So who's downstairs blasting that music?"

"X and several of our friends."

I rolled my eyes and got out of bed.

"We're gonna get in so much trouble..." I sighed.

"Nahh. We won't. X is pretty good with covering stuff up."

I slipped on my slippers. "I don't like him."

"Why not?"

"Cause he's really scary, dude."
