7 years ago
Kas had gotten back home, after school. He walked all the way home for 30 minutes since his dad couldn't pick him up.
He saw his mom with another man everyday, he was used to it though, he knew what she was up to.
Kas shared a room with his brother, Kj.
Kj and Kas were always called twins just because they look alike but they really weren't. Kj was older than Kas.
"Why you smokin in my room?" Kas asked.
"Your room nigga? You mean our room."
"Kj, I'm tired of you leavin yo dirty ass shoes on my side, put it on yours nigga."
Kas threw his shoe to his side of the bed, while lying down.
"You want some?" Kj asked.
Kas nodded his head and taking the joint from him, and lighting it up.
They both sat in silence, until Kj asked a question.
"Them kids bullying you again?" Kj asked.
"Nah, I just fell."
"You don't gotta lie Kas, ian stupid, who be beatin you up like that?"
"It's nothin, I fell and that's it."
"Mmcht." Kj said.
He stopped smoking and got up going up to Kas.
"You got a girlfriend yet?" He asked.
Kas was only 13, in 7th grade he didn't really care about girlfriends but he did only want one girl.
"Nah."
"You don't like nobody? And where Shani at?" Kj asked.
"I don't, them bitches ain't for me, I only like one girl though, and Shani, I don't know, guess she with ha nigga."
"Shani got a nigga? The fuck? And who the bitch you like? Wassaname?"
"Leah."
"Ew, the light bright bitch ?"
Kas nodded his head and coughed a little.
"Oh hell nah." Kj said.
"Who you like?" Kas asked.
"She a year younger than me, same grade as you."
"What's ha name?" Kas asked.
"Yasmine."
"She not that ugly." Kas said getting up.
"You trippin she the baddest one in the school."
"You in eighth grade goin to high school crushin on a seventh grader. I ain't trippin at all." Kas said laughing.
"You just mad nigga."
Kas sighed and walked out the room, hearing the door unlocked and seeing Shani.
"Where you been?" Kj asked.
"Friends." Shani said.
"A damn lie." Said Kas.
He walked to the fridge getting something to eat.
"Yo ugly ass always lyin, you smell like a nigga." Kj said sniffing her.
"Fuck is you smelling on me for? You ain't a fuckin dog."
Kas laughed a little but they both looked at him and he went into seriousness.
Shani headed to her room and slammed it.
"You seen ma, new ugly ass nigga?" Kj asked.
"The one here right now?" Kas asked.
"Ye."
"What about him?"
"He one of dad's friends. Nigga ugly as fuck."
They both laughed, Kj walked to the living room turning the TV on.
"46 year old Ernie Hampton found dead..."
Kas put his food down listening to the news, he knew who the man in the picture was, when he popped up. Marcus's father.
Marcus was one of the bullies who would make fun of Kas.
Kj looked at the TV smiling. While his brother didn't know.
