When I stand in that booth my world falls way the when the bass drops in what I wrote down don’t seem good enough so instead I rap and sing from my heart I don’t talk about this life I be about this life... And that’s just the way it is
"DEV... DEV... Rosie I think he's dead".
I hear my little sister Maddy Say. She’s been trying to wake me up by poking me in the face. She’s 4 with dark chocolate skin and long curly black hair and big brown eyes that could make you cry. She’s the most annoying.
"I’m not dead.” I say rolling over And giving them the look that Says get the hell out my room Rosie Plants Her Hands On her hips and looks at me like what you going to Do If I don’t. I sit up and they run off into the next room I look at my clock 6:45 damn they get up earlier and earlier every day I get up and go into the living room were Anisa sits watching Elmo on the TV she 3 and my favorite cause she doesn’t talk much. I go into the kitchen and make them all breakfast then I go and head for the shower when I’m done I set out their clothes and do their hair by the time we leave its 7:00 a little bit on schedule as we all pile into my car their all talking but Anisa I Play with her and watch her eyes light up Rosie is Sitting with Maddy And Gossiping about the other girls at school Maddy is Rosie’s twin and together they are a handful when I drop the twins off at school and Anisa at daycare I head to school myself being 17 isn’t easy for me working 2 jobs going to school and raising my sisters I should win the brother of the year award but that’s not how it goes when I pull into the parking lot of my school I get attention like a soldier I’m 6'4 and chiseled to the max with a baby face apparently the ladies dig that around here as I walk to my locker I see my boys but I just nod in their way and continue to class but I see her. She’s new I could tell she looked really nervous and scared so I decided to introduce my self
"Hi I’m Dev." I say sticking out my hand while she gives me a once over a smile spreads on my face as she takes me in she looks up at me and frowns she scans the hall cause we’re getting unwanted attention She has caramel colored skin and her eyes were black instead of brown with long black hair and 3 tattoos and stood at 5'2 she was fine and not just any kind of fine but the fine that said I don’t have time for lames
"Hi I’m Angie." She said in her soft voice But Didn’t take my hand just starred me down
"Nice to meet you Angie”. So I see that your new need some help finding your way around." I say putting my hand back in my pocket.
"Actually yea um I need to get to room 478." She said looking back at her schedule which made her long hair fall in her face.
"Actually ima heading that way I could walk you there if you want".
"Really Thanks." She smiles But Her voice sounds like she hates being here and who could blame her high school sucks as we walk down the hall she gets a couple whistles and hey baby but she holds her head high and ignores them when I point out the room she walks in without a second glance or a thank you.
By third period I can’t get her out of my head so far we have no classes together but I hope that changes soon but I've been watching her in the halls as guys try and get her attention but she pays them no mind does she know she’s just that fine??... I shake my head as I try to forget her and focus on my work but it’s not possible
“Dev. Are you okay?”
"Yea I’m fine" She’s really young with short red hair she’s got a thing for me but that’s some pedophile shit so ima leave it alone. I try and focus on this geometry class but I can’t get her out my head her long hair and brown eyes I give up I can’t do this I get up and go to the bathroom knowing I’ll never have to ask to go in this class even though that’s not where I’m going as I walk down the hall I spot her she sits by her locker texting
"Hey." I say walking towards her
"Hi." she replies
"I didn’t know you ditched." I say raising an eyebrow.
"Neither did I goody two shoes” she Said smiling up at me is it me or did my heart just stop.
"Technically it’s not skipping since my teacher knows I’m in class. I’m just taking a break"
"Whatever Dev. "she said shaking her head I sit next to her.
"So why'd you move her." immediately after I asked the question I regretted it her eyes filled with sadness and her smile was washed away by sorrow and regret
"Uh I don’t want to talk about it." She said fiddling with the rings on her hand
“Okay." I said we sat there for a few minutes in silence while she texted whoever was on the other line
"Uh I should be heading back to class before the teacher flips out on me”. She says while standing up I catch a glimpse of the butterfly tattoo she has on her back I stand up as well
"Okay so see you at lunch then." She nods her head and we walk away in our separate directions
By lunch time I’m starving not for food but to see Angie as I walk into the cafeteria I spot her Standing in the burger line while a group of guys try to get her attention she talks to them a little but not much she keeps it simple I walk over to her in the line and she smiles up at me
"Hey Dev." she says. The guys behind her look me up and down and try to intimidate me but that shit don’t work on me I hold my ground and show me who the man is I turn my attention back to
Angie
"Hey told you I’d see you at lunch." I say smiling back at her
“Yea you sure told me." She says lowering her voice to match mine. I can only smile at her attempt. I just shake my head and pay for my lunch
"So were we sitting" she says looking up at me I point to the table were my boys are sitting
"There." I Say and start walking over in that direction with her following not far behind as we sit down all of my friends heads turn towards her
"Hi." She says in her little shy voice and waves. Jonny’s the first to give her a once over his eyes lingering longer in certain places they shouldn't and I don’t know why it makes me mad but it does.
"WELL DAMN aren’t you a thick one... I’m Jonny by the way." He says holding out his hand I nearly almost slap him but mill beats me to it
"I’m mill." he says with a smile Angie blushes which kind of makes me jealous and last but not least Ben I really hope he don’t say something stupid
"Hey shawty I’m Benny. But you can call me daddy" Benny says coming and sitting next to her Angie can’t even hold it in anymore she burst out laughing on the floor when she stops she looks at benny and falls out laughing all over again I just shake my head with the rest of the boys Benny always thinks he’s a mac and he ends up getting played out Benny looks furious and walks back over to his seat on the other side of the table
"I’m sorry. She says "But if you going to try and get at me you got to come way harder than that boosky" She says trying not to fall out laughing again she stands up and throws her food away And Comes and sits down next to me
"So you feel my boy Dev. huh??" Jonny says
"He aight I guess." Angie replies I Sit there and look at her she winks at me
"He was trying to spit game huh??"
"Naww not really he aint been comein hard enough to really grasp my attention." She says pushing her hair back off her face which exposes another tattoo behind her ear.
"Dev Why aint you made your move yet Girls like her don’t wait around for nobody." I Give Jonny the look and he shuts up.
"Well gentlemen I need to go find my next class. Dev. I’ll see you later." She says collecting her books and standing up.
"Yea sees you later." I say giving her a small wave and she’s out the door.
"DAMN MAN I’m still in a trace from seeing that ass walks out the door" Benny says.
"Fo real man if you don’t get at her I sure Will." Says Jonny pounding fist with Benny.
I Give them the look and they shut up real fast and Mills watching the door like he's waiting for someone to come through I sure as hell hope none of my boys go after her Cause she’s mine whether they know it or not.
After Benny said that I had to go he was straight trippin you can call
