Decatur Chapter 3... THE REAL CHAPTER 3

THIS IS THE REAL CHAPTER 3... I MADE A MISTAKE ON THE FIRST ONE, MY BAD FOLKS.
Southwest DeKalb High is a charter school. You know you had to be picked to go here. Well let's just say, the students who attend this school are smart, but they are also ghetto! Put it like this, we got book smarts and street smarts. For example this boy named Kahari is a straight A student. Plays football and he is most likely to be prom king. That's the upside of his story, the bad side? He is one of the most deadliest dudes in the school. Yeah you heard me right. He is in a gang the Peachtree Crips. Dude will beat you down in a heartbeat for anything. He will smart though. If he doesn't get thrown in jail, he can be famous or whatever he wants.

Me and Nikki walk up the school steps and step inside the crowded hallway. The school bell hasn't even rung yet and my girl Felicia already going off on some body. We push through the crowd and see our friend. Today her victim is this other hoochie named Monica. "And if I see you around my way again, I promise you I will hurt you. Got some nerve calling my sista a hoe. Get outta here with that." Monica snaps, hands on her hips. Now Monica was in some deep stuff, now. Felicia don't play that. "Trick I ain't scared of you. You got something to say, say it right now. I don't give a damn about ya sista. She came at me wrong, so cut dat yin yang and let's do the damn thang." Felicia says removing her gold plated hoop earrings. Now me and Nikki decide to step in and stop this. I grab Felicia by the arm, while Nikki stands in front of Monica.

"Come on girl, she ain't even worth after school detention. We got a test today anyway. Handle her on the streets." I advise. You'll know me, I love a good fight. I just don't want my girl to get in trouble for it. Felicia listens to me, and walks away. We walk over to my locker. "Thanks girl. I really don't wanna hear my momma today. She already pissed at me for staying out all night with Deshawn." She explains. I nod my head in agreement. "Ya welcome girl. So you down with going to the Underground?" I ask, Nikki joins us also. "Yeah girl, you already know. I got me some money too. I'm bout to cop me a pair of them J's." She says all hyped up. "Money? You paying for ya own stuff, I thought Deshawn had you." Nikki says being her usual nosey self. But knowing Felicia she took her comment offensively. "Look Nikki, not everyone has money like Jermaine. I mean just because he trick on you don't mean all dudes do the same." She snaps. Before Nikki can respond, I step in. "She didn't mean it like that Felicia so chill. Nikki quit being so damn nosey." I say jokingly. The both glare at each other, then smile.

"Here come our men." Nikki says spotting our boyfriends turning the corner. I turn to see Shareef looking real good. He wore some baggy jeans and a green button up polo. He wore some crisp white Jordans and he rocked a silver cross. His haircut was fresh and his waves were gleaming. Only thing missing was his smile. Baby boy had a serious frown on his face. "Uh what's up with ya boo Tierra? He look real pissed." Felicia comments. All three boys walk over to us and start talking. "Come on, we gotta leave now. Before the bell rings, they doing that sweep today." Deshawn explains. Together all six of us head for the back staircase. "Ain't Desmond coming?" I ask looking around for him. "He at the car. We gotta pick up his girl, so hurry up." Jermaine says.

We exit the building and run for the truck. I have to stop in my tracks and admire the ride. It's 2010 Cadillac Escalade. Complete with the grill and rims. "Damn, Desmond doing it big." I say, then hop in the back sea next to Shareef. He still giving me the silent treatment. I ain't think he would be this mad. Me and Shareef sit in the last row, Nikki and Jermaine in the next row, then Felicia and Deshawn. And Desmond driving, we're off to pick up his girl at Columbia High. I look over at Shareef and he looking at me too. I grab his hand and he pulls away! That makes me mad so I turn my head and stare out the window. We pull up to Columbia High and Carmen hops in. I see Felicia frowning already. Before Carmen is all the way in I say "Be nice Felicia." She turns her head and smiles.

Now that everyone is here, we are talking back and forth. Everyone except for Shareef, he sitting beside me listening to his Ipod. I ain't worried bout him though, he blew me off. So it's whatever for now. I just talk to my friends and ignore Shareef. 15 minutes later, we pull up to the popular hangout spot. Looks like a couple of other teens decided to skip school also. We all exit the car and walk towards the entrance. "So what we doing, we gonna stay together or split up?" Deshawn asks. We all look around. "We can roll together for now, and if we wanna go our separate ways we can." I suggest. They all nod their heads in agreement. We decide to head for Fame and see what they have.
