Objects in the Mirror

Chapter Two

"Uh why not? You have a perfectly good car." She asks

"I just don't okay." He says with a slight attitude

"Okay fine. I guess we'll just catch the magic school bus to the movies." She replies rolling her eyes

"Shut up." He replies

"No. How we supposed to trust each other if you don't talk to me about shit?" She asks

"I just don't wanna drive, I'm not a good driver okay. My driving is shitty." He says

"Yeah whatever, you used to drive that car to school everyday, then you just stopped out of nowhere one day. But it's fine you don't have to tell me now." She says

"Okay." He says

She yawns and then wipes her eyes. Then he yawns and changes positions in bed to get comfortable.

"Get some sleep dinosaur head, I'll see your cute ass later." He says

"Okay chump, don't forget to call Ms. Fizzle and let her know we need to hop aboard her magic school bus." She says, closing her tired eyes

"Okay asshole." He says smiling

He hangs up the phone. And falls asleep with a smile on his face. A booming ring reverberates through his bedroom. He looks at his phone and it's a text from K dot, yo bro you still meeting us downtown?, he looks over at his alarm clock and its 4:26 P.M. The sun is at its peak and little kids are outside screaming and playing on this hot Saturday afternoon.

The squad is walking down chestnut street. The sweltering summer heat has drawn out every musty fuck boy and ratchet chick in Philly. Homeless people line the sidewalk sweating. One man is laying naked on top of a pile of newspapers and napkins with Popeyes printed on them. Little kids walk past pointing and laughing as their parents attempt to shield their eyes. A group of girls walk towards them, a couple are wearing tights and a couple are wearing skirts. Their eyebrows and hair are beat to the gods, and they all have some nice ass curvy bodies.

"Damn! The bitches are out today. Nigga I'm glad I'm single." D says as he looks at the girls in front of him

"Real shit bro, but aye we coming at these shawties. It's seven of them and seven of us." 60 says

"You already know bro, we right at them." E says

They all get ready to talk to the girls as they get closer. Except for him, he stands back a little.

"Damn bitch, you cute as shit. Come fuck with a real nigga." D says to one of the girls with the tights

She looks over at him in disgust and they all cross the street while rolling their eyes and flipping their hair.

"Bro what the fuck is wrong with you, you outta socket dickhead. You really be on some other shit nigga." He says as he takes his phone out to read a text he received from Sheraine, I'm about to fuck your life up since you think you just gonna walk out on me.

"I was just playing around nigga damn." D replies

They all shake their heads in disappointment and walk into the pizza shop. They sit at their usual spot in the middle of the store and the cashier already knows what to bring to the table. Two large pizzas, one buffalo chicken and one bbq chicken and Sprite mixed with Hi-C for everyone.
