EASTSIDE.

ONE.

I walked back to my room and put on my all black 12s. I snatched my black hoodie off my bed and walked out of my room.

"I'ma kill yall !" I heard Dylan yell from the living room "BOOM BOOM !"

"You don't need to play grand theft auto no more." I peeked my head in and looked at him

He flicked me off continuing to play that stupid ass game. For him to only be 4, he sure does have a nasty ass attitude. Mama should've given him away when she had the chance.

I turned the lock on the door before opening it, seeing my friend True about to knock.

"Fuck it is dummy." She smiled

"You look like you just did something you had no business doing." I shut the door behind me

"Wow, is that the energy I give off ?" She leaned back some "But no, I just bust that nigga Quarter windows though."

"True !"

"What ?" She threw her hands up "He should know I'm true to this crazy shit, I'm true to my religion."

"Bit— girl." I eyed her

"I'm serious." She shrugged "Where you rey go at ?"

"Store for Shanti." I rolled my eyes

"I'll say hi when we come back." She reminded herself before we walked down the steps and made a right

"So care to explain why you busted his windows ?"

"Cause he was texting that bitch Bianca like they go together or something."

"But True, you and Quarter don't even go together." I made a face

"On jesus sandals we do." She said "I read the messages and I ain't like em, so I grabbed my handy dandy bat and swung like I was Jackie Robinson."

I looked over at her as she pretended to hit a baseball and held her right hand over her eyes as if the sun was in the way of her watching the baseball fly.

"True, you're wrong. Simple as that, you need to leave him alone."

"Okay." She clapped her hands together "Let me just explain the situation to you one more time."

"No, you're wrong." I stopped her "You and Quarter aren't in a relationship and you still out here talking to other niggas so you can't even get mad at him texting Bianca."

"Okay, but he my favorite nigga though."

"True, no. The whole situation, just a big fat no."

"Ayo !" A deep voice yelled making us stop in our tracks

We turned around seeing Gassy walking up to us with a blunt hanging from his lips

"Here this high bitch go." True rolled her eyes at him "What ? We'on smoke, no dime on the diesel !"

"Why you gotta be so loud ?!" He sucked his teeth

"Why you gotta be so dumb ?!" She mugged him

"Why are y'all arguing in public like this ?" I asked

"Ion like ya friend." Gassy sized her

"Ion like ya nut ass either stupid."

"HI KC !"

"HI WHITEBOY !" I waved back before walking towards the stoop where him and Mickey sat

"Stop saying hi to my girl bitch." Mickey smacked him in the back of his head
