   "Naee! I know you heard me gurl!" My best friend Cindy yelled .

I rolled my eyes.
"Yess CiCi, I heard you. How can I not . You being loud as hell as usual."

"Well excuseeee the fuck outa me then but—" Cindy paused in her tracks.  "Wayment! Oh! I see what's up now"

I looked at her confused.

"You done caught eyes for Kane. Oweee bitch!" She smirked. I looked away embarrassed. Praying he wouldn't hear Cindy's loud, dramatic ass.

"Mhm , I don't blame you . He cute. But I would advice you to leave that alone bebby"

I raised an eyebrow "Why?"

"Uhmm hello! DRUG DEALER. KILLER. Flashy as fuck . & I'm sure he got hella hoes. Yeah, for sure." She noted, licking her lips.

"Andddd?"

"Andddd? The fuck you mean Nae! We are talking bout the same Kane right ?? The same nigga that got KICKED OUT of 9th grade and couldn't come back for multiple trips to Juvie! I give the man one more time & they sending him to Angola. & I bet that up !"
I looked at Kane's tall 6'9 frame before breaking my stare . Yup , he caught me . I caught him smirking as I quickly turned my attention to my walk home from school .
"Say love . Lemme holla at chu real quick " I paused in my steps & looked around.
He smirked "yeah you .. Come 'ere . Ain't gone bite"

I left from where Cindy was standing and walked over to his car. I laughed in my head. It always amazed me how niggas pimp out these old cars. He had a '88 Cadillac coupe de ville . Candy painted red on gold 24s".

"Wassam with it love. What's ya name?"
"Nae"
"Nae huh" he rubbed his beard and he smiled. Damn his smile is perfect! "Damn, Where's a flaw?"
"Huh?" I quickly looked up .
"Um, nothing" damn did I really just say that shit out loud .. Get it together Nae!
He smiled "Well Nae, I go by Kane. How come I ain't never seen you befo? What you been hiding from a nigga?"

I laughed . " no I came here about 6 months ago "
"Ahh. Explains it" he said. Eyeing me up and down. "Sooo.. Nae.. Where you was heading to love?" He asked , circling me.

I smiled slightly. "Home. Uhm, we was walking from practice"
"Pretty girl like you don't need to be walking alone outchea like that bayy. Lemme take y'all home . . Cool?"
I paused. Thinking of what to say. He laughed. "Ain't gone hurt you ma" He held his hands up in defence . "Promise. Just lemme take you home love.. " I gave in "alright .. Fine"
I looked to wave Ci over . But I looked to see her already acquainted with one of Kane's soldiers .
