Decatur Chapter 2

"What are you talking about now? Don't you get tired of yelling and screaming? I am sure Tierra is asleep. She does have school." He says with sarcasm. "Nigga, don't act like you care about Tee Tee now. Did you care about her when you was screwing that lil chicken head?" My mom fires back with anger. I can literally hear Kree take a deep breath. "Woman get out my face wit that bull. I ain't cheating on you. Quit being so insecure and falling for them hood rats lies. It's getting old forreal. Now come lay down, you making the baby upset." He says in that slow seductive tone of his. Like a fool, my mom falls for it.

I can't take anymore of this. I get out of my bed and close my door all the way, then I turn my radio on. I climb back into my bed and get comfortable. I close my eyes and think about my boo, Shareef. My boo is so fine! He a brown skinned baddie. Pitch black eyes, black hair cut short, with some serious waves. Baby boy got a body on him! Let me tell you, his six back is mad hard. He tall just how I like 'em, and he play basketball and he run track. He got that million dollar smile, that makes me weak in the knees. Yeah and he all mine.

On cue I feel my phone vibrate underneath my pillow.
"Hello," I answer faking like I was sleep.
"You sleep?" He asks with his sexy voice.
"Nah. I'm up." I reply with a smile.
"You betta be. I was gonna wake you up any way if you said yea." He says.
"Oh forreal? Then what if I just fell asleep on you?" I ask.
"Ion care. I'll get to wake up with your light snores in my ear. I rather have you beside me though." He says straight up.
"I know right. How long you on lockdown. I miss coming over and seeing you at school ain't enough." I whine.

"Baby I don't know. Moms in trip mode. She said she thinking bout pulling me out the game. My dad wasn't haven't that though. She bugging forreal." He says venting.
"Aw my poor pooh pooh. I wish I could make you feel betta." I reply getting tired.
"You can. Skip 6th period with me. We going to the Underground. I want you to hang with me." He says. I think about his offer. I ain't going to miss anything. It is a Friday, so I can say I am staying the night over Nikki's house.
"Who all going?" I ask.

"Nikki and Jermaine. Felicia and Deshawn. Desman and his girl. I forget her name. You know the one who goes to Columbia High." He explains. I search my memory for the girl he is referring to. I instantly remember the skank me and my friends can't stand. "Oh you talking about Carmen. Why she going. I can't stand her and her wack ass school. Desmond stupid for even dating her." I sass. I hear Shareef laugh.
"You wrong for that one boo. Leave ole girl alone. Desmond like her so be happy for him. That's ya boy." He says scolding me.
"Ayyite, I got you. But if she say anything smart to me, I'm going buck." I say with a laugh. Shareef laughs too.

"You to much shawty.
"Yeah, but you love me anyway." I reply.
"Yeah. I do love you. You ready to be wifey?" He asks out of nowhere.
I am speechless. Where I'm from when a dude asks you to be wifey that means he has claims on you. No other dude can step to the girl. Pretty much everyone knows you'll together. Me and Shareef were just on that "boo" and "baby" base. We could still talk to other people. On top of that, he said he loved me!
"Hello?" Shareef says after I have been quiet for to long.
"Uh? Oh my bad. I'll let you know tomorrow. I am kinda tired. Oh lets leave first thing in the morning. I'm staying at Nikki's house so I can chill with you all day. I gotta go. See ya tomorrow." I say real fast, then I hang up.

I already know that was wrong, but he caught a chick off guard. I look at the time and see it is 1:30. I turn over and fall asleep with Shareef in my mind. When I wake up it is 6:30. I climb out my bed and head for the bathroom. After doing my bathroom business, I walk into my closet. I decide to wear my Baby Phat military hoodie, with the matching military cargo athletic pants. I laced my feet with some killer Shannah Stud heels. I add some flare to my look. My gold charm link toggle bracelet and a gold necklace. I wear my hair in a ponytail with a side bang. I grab my cell and head down the steps. "Bye mom!" I yell. "Bye baby. Have a nice day. See you tomorrow. Make sure you call me when you get to Nikki's house." She calls out from behind her closed door. "Aye what about me? Can I get a bye or sumthin?" Kree whines playfully. "Bye Kree." I say walking out the door.

For it to be mid October it is pretty warm outside. I think to myself. My best friend Nikki pulls up, a few seconds later. Me and Nikki have been tight since we rocked diapers. "Hey girl. You looking mighty cute today." She comments eyeing my outfit. I climb into the passenger seat. "Thank you girl. Today is a special day. Oh and I'm staying at your house." I say turning up my song Phone Booth, by Tierra Marie. "Oh really. That's cool, but why is today special?" She asks being nosey. "Shareef asked me to be wifey and he said he loved me." I reveal with a smile. Nikki starts squealing. "He did! Girl, I am so happy for you. What did you say?" She asks anxious. "I said I will tell him my answer to day, I rushed off the phone.

He said it out of nowhere. He probably gonna be mad at me. He'll get over it though. "Yeah you right. We skipping right? We going to the Underground to chill right?" She asks pulling into the school parking lot. "For sho! You already know we in there like swimwear." I exclaim. Nikki busts out laughing. "You silly girl. That's what's up though." Together we grab out bags and walk our way up to SWDH. Better known as Southwest DeKalb High.
