"Love..." My teacher started, as he walked around.
((After Me and my cousins went to Asian house- and we saw Von- he was acting so weird. As I was walking around I saw a couple pictures of Von as a kid and a guy that looks so familiar 🤨.. ))
(But anyways, he barely talked to me, he just stared with his weird ass. )
Now I'm in class, however my mind wonders aimlessly...
-
"Can anyone tell me what love is ?"
"Man love aint real 💔😞" Tj, the depressed kid said from the back.
"Hmm, interesting answer... anyone else ?" My teacher continued.
I raised my hand.
"I think love is different... different for everyone. Because everyone has their own definition of love, so no answer would be wrong... just different."
"Outstanding- elaborate!!" My teacher said
"Im saying, I may think love is a certain way- maybe from my own experiences and another may think of love as something bad or another definition... like Tj depressed self." I said.
He clapped, "what are some experiences you all have had ? I know yall are high school students and you're at the point where you want to date. What have y'all experienced?" He said
"Umm my girlfriend got my face tatted on her ass cheek" someone said.
Umm huh-
"I- NEXT" my teacher said.
I raised my hand again. "My dad always told me that he loved me. But I personally think love should be shown. He did too, so he did whatever he could to make sure I knew that. He went to extreme measures sometimes, I think that's love, atleast to a degree."
"Wonderful Kimani ! What about you Nia ?" My teacher said.
"Uhhhhh my mama got me chick fil A" she said.
I kissed my teeth
"Mmmmk so you're saying , you think love could be shown or expressed through gifts and materialistic things ?" He said
"I ain't say all that na." She said.
"Well.. the bell should ring in a minute. YOU GUYS DO THE TEXTBOOK PAGES FOR HOMEWORK GOODBYE" he said

Finally school was over and I was walking home.
𝑨𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓...
After I went home with Nia dumbass , I immediately went to search in my fathers old things in the basement.
I looked at his pictures, while his old phone charged.
I saw 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 guy that was in Vons picture in his.
I intensely searched harder,
His phone turned on and I grabbed it.
Dammit what could his password be ?
I put in my moms birthday and it worked. I thought it was mine 🙄
Anyways, I went to the messages icon, slowly scanning for familiar names.
I saw messages from one person but I couldn't make out who it was.
They were arguing... bad, I scrolled further to see Vons name pop up in the message.
MSG-
'Listen I ain't finna be with yo bullshit man. Ion need Von caught up innis.'
Aw hell nah. Wtf going on mane-
"Girl wtf is you doing ?" Eli asked, startling me, from the stairs
"I'm looking through daddy's old stuff. I saw a picture at Asian house of Von and some familiar nigga on the way to the bathroom." I said scanning the pictures again.
"See look" I said, showing him the picture.
His eyes widened. "That's 𝒚𝒐 𝒅𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒚 bestfriend. I met him when I was real young"
"Look here- they were arguing." I said.
"How you know it's him ?" Eli Said
"He mentioned Vons name."
"You think we should ask him about it ? Maybe he'd know more about my father." I said.
"Mmmm Ki.... Idk"
"Why not ?" I asked
"H-"
"DINNERS READY" my mom yelled.
---
As we sat at the table, my mind wandered off a little.
Love... what's my definition ?
I don't even know...
I just wanna know what happened to my dad 😞 and before I point fingers, I wanna talk.
I mean why would someone kill him ?
"Hey ma ?" I asked curiously
"Hmm ?"
"There are still no suspects for daddy's case ?"
Everyone stopped and stared.
"Uhh... I- i don't think so."
She must know something I don't. It seems like everyone does.
"I think love shouldn't be secrets, I think it should be pure and full of honesty. I think love should be expressed in many different ways. Because if you love someone... you'll show it. It's almost like it doesn't have to be said-" I started, mumbling.
"Girl shutup and go make a poem" Nia said, grabbing a corn bread.
"Girl you Shutup miss- 'my mom got me Chick-fil-A" I said, mugging.
"Huh ?" My aunt asked
"Aight ma after I eat, I gotta meet with someone-"
"He back at it again lord." Nia said.
"Well what person-?" My mom asked
"Wait no, stop ma. All we need to know is if it's legal or not." I said.
"Mmmm sure." He said.
He ate really fast. And finished.
He went upstairs to get ready to go.
"Elijah." I said, walking in.
"Yea cuz ?"
"Make sure you atleast have yo gun with yo Diamond headed ass. We lost so many people due to gun violence." I said.
He nodded. "Bye cuz, stay dangerous" he said, hugging me.
"Mhm..."
-----
Damn I got work tomorrow...
After dinner me and Nia went to the ice cream shop to get desert.
"Bitch no. Cookies and cream"
"Yes AND strawberry shortcake."
I heard loud laughing causing me to turn around.
𝑽𝒐𝒏 🤨...
Matter of fact, just who I wanted to see.
"Ouuu yo nigga here" Nia said.
"Stfu. Stay here, I'll be right back."
Von mugged me without hesitation and kissed his teeth.
"Hello to you to nigga." I said, annoyed.
"Listen, I ain't even came over here to bother you. I have a question to ask."
"Go ahead." He said, as we sat down in a booth together. Across from eachother.
"So do you know my fathe-"
"No, not really."
"I- what ? I noticed a picture on my way to the bathroom. I'm curious- he passed away and I don't know what to do."
He sighed. "...My daddy knew him that's all."
Hmm
"Umm I went through his stuff and found his old phone, in which... I saw messages between our fathers. A bad argument."
Von tensed up again.
"Uh.. shorty I gotta go..." he said.
"Why ? Why you gotta go when I am discussing him Dayvon ?" I asked sternly.
"Tuh... not the government." Nia said, as she snickered.
Von mugged her. "Listen ma-"
"Nah you listen. You don't understand. I need this, I'm not done grieving 😞"
"Kimani-" he started
"Aww he know her name." Nia mumbled.
"What Von ?" I asked annoyed
"I ain't finna say shit about shit, I told you all I know 🤷🏾♂️" he said.
"Von please-" I started, but he cut me off with a 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔.
I kissed back... for some reason. And I like it 🤨...
Fuck you von. How dare you make me like it. 🖕🏾🙄
I STILL WANNA KNOW WHY MY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED.
"Oh shittttt" Nia said.
"I- "
"Bye shorty..." he said, and left out, grabbing an ice cream sample.
"He been waiting to do that shit." Nia said
"Girl would you shutup so I can think ?" I said...
What's going on-
