So Stokeley brought this girl to hang out with us, Velcro? I think was her name. Virginia it probably was, don't know, don't care, and is not the point, actually it is the point. I don't like this bitch. I mean I've only known her for like a week, and she's been hanging out with us non stop. Like Stokeley, get your little gIrlFrIeNd out of here..shits weird. Heteros are fucking weird.

Virgin Oil then had the brain capacity to ask if my name was spelled "J-A-W" because I introduced myself as simply "Jah."

Hey, you must be a friend of Stokeley's, your name is?

Oh like..like the bone? Jaw? Or like the movie?

That's a fire ass name. I want my name is be Jaw, that's a cool name.

She probably still believes my name is Jaw. I learned that they dated and they're friends now. You can't just 'be friends' with your ex.

But anyway, Vagina is basically the odd one out in the 8 of us, making us 9. Even KIMETRIUS "KIMPOSSIBLE" FOOSE likes her. This dude does not know what she looks, or sounds like she she's quote on quote "Chill as fuck." She's adored by everyone and I hate to be a Wendy Williams and talk shit, but kind of jealous of how much attention she's been getting from Stokeley. And Miles.

I never thought that I'd say or think that I miss Miles being a dumbass. I hate having to sometimes call for help when he gets himself into a stupid situation, or when he wants to "experiment" with fictional shit he seen in a cartoon or movie. It seems his new best friend has been more of a priority.

I'm being such a baby, oh my god. But who wouldn't though. Being ignored by your bestfriend? By some hoe named Vaseline? Vasectomy? Virgo, bitch whatever her name is. I'm just going to take advantage of the small amount of attention I'm getting and go work. I haven't showed up to work in about 3 weeks now. I don't even know who my boss is. Whoever he or she may be, must be very desperate for employees because I work at a 7 eleven with Miles and Miles shows up every shift and I'm either not wanting to come, have a crazy story on why I can't, or overslept. I showed up to a 6 hour shift 5 hours late and a bunch of kids stole like half he store.

It don't even affect me. As long as I'm not getting hurt I shouldn't kill myself being extra and checking cameras and shit, they were already gone. I was fashionably late though, my dreads were in pig tails and I looked really sexy. For no one though. And almost half the stores chips gone.

I was sitting near Stokeley and Vans on the couch with everyone else laughing and joking about the show they were watching. I was trying to pay attention to the show but couldn't concentrate when people are laughing about bullshit in the back. I don't understand why they told me to hang out with them today f all their going to do is be annoying. They're always like this but today I felt it more intense than usual...I wonder why.

I looked at the time and saw that it was the normal time I would go to work. Miles was off today and I would just miss my shift as usual and stay home and binge watch my favorite animes all night. Or pretend I'm on American Idol and Simon just said "yes" to my singing.

What happened to me getting dick? I got like 5 dicks in a week like 2 months ago. I was on a dick streak, but my sex life be non existent and I'm slowly joining the #virgingang along side Jordan and Jared.

I was knocked out of thought when something made everyone laugh obnoxiously, causing a fucking earthquake to take place on the couch. Vegan bumping into my while she was laughing at the funniest thing in the whole..wide.. world. Me almost getting knocked out of my place, and contemplating fighting all of these people, I decide I must do something that I never thought I'd go back to.

Work.

The laughter dies down a little bit finally. I get up and fix my shirt, grabbing everything I brought, that only being my phone and keys.

"Are you leaving, Jah?" Stokeley asks still chuckling a little bit. "Yeah, I'll you guys later." I said softly while going to the door. "Where are you going? You sure you don't want to stay with us?" Miles asks.

"Yeah. I..uh. I have to go to work." I said, everyone in the room falling silent looking at each other as if I said something in a foreign language they don't understand.

It then erupts in laughter, me just standing there unamused. If only they knew I was really serious about it.

"Jahseh and work in the same sentence? Oh lord I never thought I'd live to see the day." Miles says while laughing even harder.

"You're on time for once. By why you going to work?" Gazzy asks while still giggling. I rolled my eyes at the dumb question. To get money of course. Not really I just don't want to be here anymore and need to clear my head.

"Rents coming up." I say while turning to the door and opening it to leave,

"But you just paid re-" before he could finish I slammed the door shut.

"Is he really going to work?" I ask Miles. He shrugs, not really knowing what to think either. Jahseh's been acting weird lately, since Valerie came to hang out with us he's just been very kept to himself. I don't know why though..I'm just going to assume he has some things in his mind after he was kept hostage by his crazy ex for 14 days and was left stranded in the middle of Tampa.

"He never goes to work...something's wrong with him." Miles says sighs.

"Maybe because he never goes to work, he misses it and decides to go back. And he needs money too." Jared suggests,

"Right.." Miles replies.

Ever since I brought Valerie to hang out with the guys, everyone seems to like her. I honestly thought it was going to be awkward but they take her in as their own. She fits in so well that it's scary.

"Well it's been a long day, I'm gonna go home too." Val announces while getting up. She gives a little side hug to everyone, but gives me a full contact hug before leaving.

"That ain't fair, nigga, she gave you a HUG hug, but I got a side hug." Symere says rolling his eyes. I give him a little pat on that back and start pushing him to the door, along with Omar, Gazzy and Jared.

"Alright, boys. It's getting late. Go home." I said shooting them to the door.

"You just finna kick is out like that?" Symere says as I finally get all of them out the doorway. "You guys live literally a couple doors down. Just come back tomorrow, I got work in the morning." I say. They all roll their eyes at me and start walking their separate ways.

"I love you guys! Be safe. Don't talk to strangers." I say jokingly waving them.

"Shut yo bitch ass up." Symere yells back.

I close the door and sigh. Peace and quiet, at last. Today was filled with so much exuberance that it's raining in my ears. All that laughing and talking really makes me fucking tired and I want to knock out so bad. After all I gotta have enough energy for Val and work tomorrow, if you know what I'm saying.

I forgot how much I hate this place. Picking up fallen funions, and arranging drinks. Eating funions, not paying for it, drinking half the freezer of Arizona. I mean I work here, no one can tell me no. Those cameras that they have have to be as old as I am. We have to wear these ugly designed shirts with my little name tag on it. I hated this shirt so much and just insisted on wearing a regular shirt to work by Miles is such a rule follower. I haven't even personally talked to Miles for days and it's pretty sad. But he can do what he wants, as long as the troll head is happy I will be.

I rested my head in my hands while lightly tapping the desk while I wait for a costumer. No one ever really comes to this store, it's so sketchy and I want to just leave. I only have 5 hours and 45 minutes to go which isn't that bad, I have time to sit and daydream because that's my number once specialty.

Just then I hear the bell which tells you someone has entered the store.

"Welcome." I said nonchalantly without even looking at who entered the store because I could really care less.

"Have some emotion at least." Said a familiar raspy voice. I look up to see who it was. It was the guy I fucked a few months ago, Michael I think it was.

"You again." He says chuckling. I nod my head and smile. "Me again."

"Jahseh, was it?.." He guesses.

"No, my name is James...why doesn't anyone remember my name?" I say sarcastically. He playfully punches me while laughing a little bit.

"Michael, right?" I ask. He smiles and nods, "You remembered." He states. "Michael is an easy name to remember." I say. "I suppose it is." He says grabbing a drink and bringing it up to the counter.

"I'll let you take that one free." I say waving it off. He shook his head as he insisted by pushing the drink back to me. "It's the law, I have to pay." He says. "Fuck the law." I say grabbing the drink, scanning it. "Take it, nigga...before I change my mind." I say handing it back to him. He smiles softly and takes the drink. "Thank you." He says to me.

"Anytime." I replied, winking at him. He gives me one last smile before he begins to leave but he stops right before he pushes to leave.

"Hey, uh, Jahseh." He calls. I look over to him and and hum as a response.

"Can I..can I take you out..sometime?" He asks. "I mean I was just wondering because we kinda met on a weird note, and ended on one too, and you seem like a great guy and I was just thinking maybe..." He continues while scratching the back of his head.

The way he was acting to nervous was honestly so cute I couldn't just reject him. I do need to get my mind off of things, and I haven't really dated in forever. I could just give it another try just because..I'm here for a good life, not a long one so judge me all you want.

"I'd love to." I say. He smiles. We exchange numbers, as he got a new phone and number from the last time we had an encounter. He kisses me on the cheek before leaving looking back at me one more time.

He's not Stokeley, but I can work with it. I can't stand around and wait for a super straight guy to turn gay, I don't have that much time left in life to waste my time like that. And I even if I was going to do that, I'm going to have to pass the time. Time flies when you're having fun so I'm going to do that and see what I get out of this, and where this leads me. I have a vivid idea of what the date might most likely end on so I must make sure I'm ready to take it whenever that day is.
