Chapter 3
TREY
I woke up at fifteen minutes to the hour. I did my hygienics and dragged on a red Ralph Lauren polo, cargo shorts and some red black and white Jordan's. I got some fashion nerdy glasses then sprayed myself and waited on Drew to arrive.
At five minutes past, Drew came in looking high.
"I know you damn well ain't gonna drive in this state," I snapped.
"Nah niqq'h, you gon' drive, where ma sh't?!" he asked.
I threw him the bag and then took the keys from him. He's always on some dumb sh't.
-----
When we arrived, the barbecue was already filled with people of every status and age. Smoke filled the air, both from the grill and men smoking weed.
I walked through the crowd of sweaty bodies who were dancing on the lawn. I made it to Trevan, Drew's boss, who was like a dad to us, helping us in "living".
"Young Blood! Long time no see," He exclaimed taking a whip from his joint.
I smiled, taking the blunt he passed me, and took a whip too.
"Same for you," I said then got up and grabbed a beer from the igloo.
"Yea, so which school you going to now, with yo bad ass?" Trevan asked.
"Um, Greenfield High?" I said, hoping the name was right.
"Oh , I know which school you talking 'bout , my niece and nephew go there. You met Khalil or Khaliana yet?" he asked.
Khaliana?
"Khaliana, as in short, golden curly hair, good body, pretty with dimples, is your niece?" I asked shocked.
"Yea, that 'bout explains her and she's the only Khaliana about in your year, " He replied.
"You got one sexy niece," I said, earning a glare from him.
"I know, and that's why I will kill a niqq'h for her so don't get any ideas. I wouldn't want to hurt you." He smirked.
Does he even know about Dequan?
"What if I already got ideas?" I smirked.
"Boy..."
I laughed.
"You know at that school they classify me as a nerd." I chuckled.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha." Trevan did an over exaggerated laugh..."You?!"
"Yes me. Cuz' today I chose to wear some big ass clothes and my glasses with my book, looking smart. I'm suddenly the new nerd," I explained.
"Can't blame them but if they knew that attitude of yours, they would've thought differently and you know you might wanna keep up this act, keep your juvenile self out of trouble," Trevan said, chuckling at the last part.
"I ain't no juvenile, I just got a few behaviors that I need to improve on and that's the exact thing I am gonna do, " I said "...but the thing is where the hell am I going to get some big ass clothes to continue this act? What I wore today was Drew's clothes cuz' you know he's two sizes bigger than me and I know he don't want me to be wearing his sh't."
" Niqq'h stop acting you care what your brother thinks. You gon' wear that sh't anyway!" Trevan exclaimed.
I shrugged. That was true. I looked in front of me and saw Khaliana with her short self in some high waist jeans and belly top with some J's on her feet walking over here. Damn she's sexy.
"Yo, is that yo' niece?" I asked.
He nodded. When she reached, Trevan got up and hugged her.
"Little Khali, where you bro at?" he asked.
"I f'kn hate when you people call me little. I am 16 if you still thought I was 6," She sassed.
Here's the thing you are little plus you ain't supposed to be cursing like that.
"Language and you are little with your 4ft ass." Trevan chuckled.
Exactly.
I chuckled beside him then got up before Khaliana saw me. If I want to keep up this act, ain't no one gotta know about me.
KHALI
"I am 5 ft, correction" I sassed.
Uncle T chuckled. Drew came over.
"Hey T , you see Trey?" he asked.
Uncle T looked beside him and scrunched his eyebrows together.
"Nah, watchu' want?" Uncle T asked.
"My car keys. Oh hey, Little Khali," Drew greeted.
"Hey Drew." I greeted back, hugging him.
I decided not to debate with him about calling me little.
"You know you still haven't let me meet your brother Trey."
"Sorry girl, but Trey been changing schools a lot giving his ass trouble, he's somewhere around this barbecue," Drew said.
"Oh aight," I said.
I could hear Uncle T chuckle.
"Wait Drew, lemme holler at you for a minute," He said, walking somewhere away from me with Drew.
I heard Drew do a very loud over exaggerated laugh and I used that as a cue to walk away. I sat at a table and got a bottle of water. God knew I was bored. I had invited Dequan but it looked like he changed his mind last minute.
"Hey shawty," This random boy said sitting beside me.
I looked beside me and rolled my eyes.
"Will you go away?" I snapped.
"Why you acting like that? " he asked, " No need to be acting like a stuck up bitch, I am just greeting you. So high up your ass, girl."
"Sorry and your name is?" I sassed.
"Rashawn an-"
"She's not interested." I heard a familiar voice say behind me.
I looked around and saw Dequan. He came. He planted a big kiss on my lips to show that I was with him, or "belong to him" as he states.
This Rashawn persona just got up and walked away. I slapped Dequan hard on the arm.
"Where the hell were you?" I snapped.
"Ouch ma, a niqqah can't get some sleep?" He whined.
"No," I snapped, slapping him again.
He chuckled then made a wincing sound.
"That hurt ma, I'm sorry for my tardiness," He said rubbing his arm.
"You are not forgiven," I said.
He got up then I felt his arms snake around my waist and before I knew it he was sitting behind me, kissing on my neck
"How bout now?" He asked in between kisses.
"Not quite." I smirked.
His hands slid down into my pants resting on my private area then his fingers started to make his way into my panties. I grabbed his hands stopping him. We were not about to do that out here where my dad and uncle have eyes everywhere.
"Okay Dequan, you're forgiven," I said.
I felt him smirk against my neck.
"I knew I would be." He smirked.
I rolled my eyes.
"Watch your hands with yo' nasty self," I said.
"I'm the nasty one,wow." Dequan teased.
I flipped him the finger then grabbed him by his shirt going towards the house. Before we got in , we bucked up into Uncle .
"Where you lil' niqq'hs going?" he asked us with a raised eyebrow.
"I just need to talk to him about sumn' Uncle T, nothing too much , and out here too noisy." I lied.
"Okay, stay out of the rooms," He said before walking away.
I nodded then grabbed Dequan into a vacant bathroom and pushed him against the door attacking his lips.

TREY
This girl's here flirting with me. I wasn't gonna lie , she was cute and she wasn't like some of these girls who made it obvious they wanted me. They really didn't try playing it off, they made it clearly known, she was more like she didn't know she was flirting.
"Which school you go to?" I asked.
"I go to the private school, down the street." She replied.
Well, there could be a lot of private schools down the street, though. Let me just play along.
"Oh well, I go to the public school up the street." I smiled.
She giggled mindlessly, twirling a loose strand of her curly hair.
"Hey, can I get you a drink?" she asked standing up.
I wasn't sure , sending a girl for my drink? Well she did ask.
"Um sure, a coke would be fine," I said.
She went over to the igloo and bent over. She gave me a sight, but I removed my glance quickly. I don't know why I felt guilty doing that. She came over and handed me my coke, I opened it, taking a few sips. It then dawned on me, I don't remember this girl's name. I am so bad with names.
"I'm sorry, don't take this the wrong way but what's your name again?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck sheepishly.
Her smile faded a bit, now that made me feel bad. Before I could open my lips,
"Don't worry, I'm used to that. My name is Alexandria," She said.
I sent her a smile. I really didn't mean it like that, her name just didn't wrap its way around my mind.
"Hey I don't mean it in a dissing way... I mean -"
"Am I really that unattractive?" she asked out of nowhere.
"No, you are really pretty, beautiful at that and- ".
"Beautiful? Are you sure? Are you just saying that to make up for forgetting my name?" She pressed.
"No, you are-" I started but got cut off.
"Do you really mean it?" she asked, completely going off.
I was about to open my mouth but ,
"Only say something like that to me if you mean it, because if you don't, I might as well kill myself right now so do you mean it Mr. Trey?" She snapped.
What the f'k?
I kept my mouth shut waiting for anymore questions. I hated being pressed. Right now I saw her as that annoying little sister who got real issues.
"Are you done?"
She looked at me and clamped her mouth shut, obviously not having anymore to ask.
"Now listen to me, I ain't one to lie to a girl about her beauty, you are very extremely beautiful, Alexandria, and I don't know you all that well but as far as I can see you got a damn great beautiful personality to go along with that beautiful body so ask me again if I mean this, kill me right here I do. So rethink that killing yourself sh't, because not over my dead body you wont," I said meaning every single damn word.
I hate to see and hear about girls hurting and killing themselves over some petty shit. People always putting them down over how they look, even of they are damn beautiful. Jealousy and hate surrounds these beings. I hate it and I got a victim in front of me and I gotta let her know that she belonged here as much as everyone else and was just as beautiful. I don't know this girl but I felt like I needed to protect her.
"Thanks Trey, that probably made up these past weeks," She said, smiling.
"Hey, hit me up with yo number, so I could beat yo ass when you think like this again," I said, taking out my phone.
She laughed then gave me her digits then I gave her mine.
A lil' boy was basically eye raping her and I mean mugged the sh't out of him, she realized then chuckled,
"You know you starting to act like that older brother I've always wanted. You know encouraging, protective, too overprotective," She said looking over at the boy.
I chuckled.
"I gotta be that older brother when a beautiful girl like you around," I said then flashed a smile her way.
"Are you f'kn kidding me little girl?!" I heard Trevan's voice boomed stopping all movements only the music could be heard and mothers quieting their little ones.
I looked and saw Khal fixing her top and Dequan fixing his pants. Someone's been caught, lemme sip this drink real quick.
I looked at her and was caught in a trance. She was fuming and I don't know why I found that sexy. That Dequan boy ain't good for her. Everything about their group was unhealthy.
