"yo this nigga bugginnnn. " yasmine silently shouted at her phone.

"it's always you. just chill. " i tried to engage in the conversation so the boys would stop staring at us.

"it's not me. it's them. " she reassured herself.

"here. " the boy handed me the shoe box and walked off quickly which left me confused.

"he kinda look like key glock. " lashae referred to the lightskin.

"not too much on my mans. he could neva. " i said.

"girl please i like my niggas older and richer. " she playfully snaked her neck.

"lashae you like anybody with money. " yasmine rolled her eyes.

"period. "

i went and paid for my shoes avoiding them fuss.

"on the house. " the boy from earlier smiled.

"i don't think you can do that. " i said handing him the money.

"he can't. " a lady walked past us making me chuckle.

"mmcht always cock blocking. " he grabbed the money and handed me my change.

"thank you sir. " i grabbed my money and walked away.

"lemme get your number!" he ran behind me.

"nope. i'll see you tomorrow.. probably. " i walked out the door with lashae and yasmine following me.

"girl he cute. " lashae cooed.

"mmcht move. "

we exited the mall and walked out towards yasmine's car.

"i'm thirsty take me to the store. " i said.

we drove off and arrived to a store not far from where we were.

"y'all want anything?" i asked observing all the bangers and slangers standing on the corner.

"we gone walk with you because.." yasmine made the yikes face.

"what?" i asked generally confused.

"girl you got on all red. " lashae smacked her teeth.

my heart dropped but i didn't let fear take over my face so i shrugged.

"ok. "

we got out the car and instantly all eyes were on me.

"yo she bugginnnn. " i heard somebody say making me speed walk into the store.

when we walked in i scammed the store and my eyes instantly fell on the lightskin i seen from the mall.

"ayo what the fuck my nigga?" yasmine said loud enough for only us to hear.

i went to the freezer and grabbed a sprite and went to the chip aisle where unfortunately the boy was standing.

he stared at me the whole time while i tried to find the hot fries.

"you following me or sum?" he stared at the side of my face.

"nah jhit. you following me?" i looked through the chips.

"where you from?" he scrunched his face.

"why?"

he straight faced me until i caught chills down my spine.

"florida. "

"mhm. you buggin why you got on red in a crips territory?" he leaned on the chip rack staring like he was trying to find something within me.

"ion know. anymore questions?" i stared in his eyes.

i don't know why but we had a stare off for a whole 2 minutes.

"G what you doing!?" yasmine walked down the aisle making me eye her.

"what you talking about?"

"we been watching you the whole time yo. ya ass trynna have a grill contest lets go. "

i straight faced her grabbing some hot cheetos because i couldn't find the hot fries and went to grab a king sized skittle pack.

"yo ock!" lashae smiled leaning on the counter.

"what do you want from me?" he asked desperately intending that they knew eachother.

"stop acting like you don't love me boy. " she smiled while he straight faced her.

"who your friend?"he asked his strong indian accent.

"this my bestie yare. " she pointed at me.

"yare huh? nice to meet you my friend. " he smiled at me while i kept a bored look on my face. " you can have that for the free. "

i grabbed my things and gave him a fake smile as we walked out.

"ayo shorty lemme holla at you. " some man standing on the corner looked at me.

"what?" i stopped in my tracks.

"you bangin' ?"

"nah. what else?"

".. fiesty. that's all tho. " he leaned back smirking.

"shae and yas! my niggaaaasss!" somebody else called making all of us turn towards him.

"heyyy. " lashae waved walking over towards him.

"uh. this nigga. " yasmine rolled her eyes walking over so i followed her.

"what you want tez?"

"damn it's like that?" he smiled flashing his pretty white teeth.

"you never said sorry so-"

"i'm sorry yasmine nicole jackson. "

"i- heyy. " he smiled at me. "what's ya name?"
