Everythings been chill for the last 2 weeks. I've been booked doing people's lashes all damn day. But I'm so close to getting the studio that I've been wanting so now isn't the time to slack off.

Duck along with everyone else has been dropping by here and there to check up on me and eat all my food. Even though they piss me the fuck off, they've been keeping me sane and when they're around it's the one time that i'm not working.

I just finished my third client of the day and I was sitting on my bed in some Nike Pros and a hoodie. I'm tired as fuck but I can't go to sleep since Duck said they were on their way with food. So to pass

time I just laid down on my stomach and scrolled through Instagram.

My scrolling was interrupted by someone unlocking my door. I didn't bother getting up but I heard shuffling and cussing in the living room so I already knew who it was. Mir, Reece, Duck, and Eli walked into my room shortly after since the door was already open.

"Mari!" Reece smiled, holding his arms out for a hug. If he thought I was gonna get up to give him one he has another thing coming.

"Whattt." I said irritably as Eli jumped on me, giving me a hug. "Mmcht Eliii move you're heavy bro !" I pushed him off of me. Eli sucked his teeth and pouted, acting fake hurt and got up.

Reece smiled and laid on top of me putting his head in the crook of my neck. Eli and Duck just stared at us with raised eyebrows while Mir stood there with a hardened expression on his face. I guess they were uncomfortable? But we weren't doing anything.

"See, I don't understand yall." Duck motioned between me and Reece.

"What's there to not understand?" I asked.

"Y'all do couple shit like y'all doin' now and then claim y'all not fuckinh or nun." Duck said, making Eli nod as he stuffed his face with my chips.

"So are y'all fuckin' or not?" Eli said with a mouth full of chips.

"No nigga!" Me and Reece said in unison, making Eli put his hands up in defense.

"Yea ight, whatever yall say!" Duck nodded dismissively. Eli laughed and Mir stood against the wall chuckling. Reece and I looked at each other and shook our heads cause yea, no.

Destini and Reece are literally siblings. Like BLOOD siblings, same momma and daddy. I've always looked at Destini like a younger sister and i've known her longer than Reece. What typa person would I be if I were to fuck with her brother? Even if she were to be cool with that, I just don't roll like that.

Don't get me wrong Reece is cute and allat, and if we do flirt, it's literally all fun and games. Everyone in the group knows that. Except for Duck and Eli of course who assume we're fucking. They're too invested in my love life.

"So I know y'all didn't come here to ask me if I've been fucking Reece, so what did ya'll come for?" I said bluntly, pushing Reece off my back. All of the boys cocked their heads back and made a stank ass face. I couldn't help but laugh.

"So we can't visit yo black ass anymore?" Eli yelled, throwing a chip at me.

"Stop fucking yelling before you get me kicked out Elijah." I stood up from my bed.

"Alright Kaylene." Eli smiled. "Don't say my middle name, fed ass."

"Anyway, we brought you food. It's in the

kitchen." Duck said.

"Reallyyy?" I smiled and hugged him. We walked to the kitchen and there were three a bags of Chick fil A on the counter.

We all got situated in the kitchen and started eating and talking bout dumb shit. Me and Mir were cordial towards each other. We don't talk like that but theres no animosity. At least not anymore.

Someones phone rung and Reece pulled his out of his pocket. "Wassup Des?" He said, answering Destini's FaceTime call.

"These hoes trynna jump me, you betta back the fuck up ugly bitch!" We all heard Destini yelling over the phone.

"Hold up Des, who the fuck trynna jump you?" Reece frowned and we all turned our attention to him.

"Some hoes from my school and some of their sisters. They been trynna start shit wimmie for months and im not trynna fight they ass, I wanna graduate!" Destini yelled.

"They got me fucked up." I sighed and walked out of the kitchen and into my room. I threw a pair of black joggers on and put on my Yeezy 350s since they were the closest to me.

"Where the fuck you goin' Mari?" Duck asked, standing in my doorway.

"She can't fight them so I will. They're not gonna gang up on her cause they know she's graduating in a few months and isn't trynna get in trouble." I said in an obvious tone and walked passed him. I snatched my keys off the table in the foyer.

Just as I was about to walk out Eli grabbed my hand, "Your hand just got better. You shouldn't be fighting."

"Im good Eli, shit don't hurt." I shrugged, walking out the door. I heard shuffling behind me so I knew they followed me.

We got on the elevator and made our way through the lobby and into the garage. I unlocked my car and we all got in. Mir sat up front with me while Duck, Eli, and Reece got in the back. Reece told me Destini was still near her school so I started driving to the neighborhood right across from her high school. I stopped at a red light and heard someone cock their gun back so me and Mir both turned around in confusion.

"Just cause I don't fight females doesn't mean ion shoot 'em." Reece shrugged, tucking his gun back in his pants.

About 3 minutes later I turned into the neighborhood and saw a few girls crowding on a sidewalk and I seen Destini yelling at three girls. Luckily, I already texted Aijah what was going on and sent her my location. Hopefully her ass gets here soon 'cause i'm not fighting all these bitches by myself.

I pulled over across the street and all five of us hopped out, rushing over to Destini.

"What the fuck goin' on?" Reece asked her.

"'This dumbass bitch trynna fight me 'cause she thinks I fucked her nigga and said some shit about her momma!" Destini huffed.

"'Cause you did hoe, you kept speaking on

my family when you were on live!" One of the bitches said walking up to Destini. Me being me, I stepped in front of her 'cause I hate a fake tough bitch. They go to the same school so I know that they know Destini is graduating in a few months and the last thing she needs is to get suspended for fighting their big asses.

"It'd be best for you to just back the fuck up." I said, being surprisingly calm. "Girl who the fuck are you? Get the fuck out my way."

"Watch your fucking mouth." I got in her face. "Yeen gon' do nothin' tho, weak ass." She scoffed, looking me up and down."

"Im weak yet you got three people out here ganging up on one person. Girl get yo pussass on."

"Who pussy?"

"You hoe, duh." I said in an obvious tone. I could hear Destini arguing with another one of the three girls behind me.

"I know she ain't just call you a hoe!" Ole girl in the back instigated. "And did. A bitch ain't gon' do me shit." I shrugged.

Just as I stepped in her face I seen ole girl in the back swing on Destini while she was already fighting one of the other girls. I ran over to the girl that was trynna jump into Destini's fight and socked her in the face. We started going at it and I got her on the ground and got on top. I kept sending straight blows to her face until I felt someone else try to grab my hair.

Bitches always wanna jump in a fight when their friend losing.

I held the girl I was fighting on the floor by her head and used my free hand to start swinging on the bitch that pulled my hair. Literally fighting two people at once.

Eli rushed over and tried to push the hoe off of me and all of a sudden Aijah came out of no where swinging on her. I directed my attention back to the bitch I was holding down on the floor. She used

whatever strength she had to get up but I kept hitting her in the face 'till she was leaking. As soon as I drew my hand back to swing again Mir came and grabbed me, shoving the girl back down on the floor in the process.

"Come on Mari you already beat her ass dawg." Mir sighed and pulled me backwards, wrapping his arms around my stomach to stop me from rushing ole girl again.

Reece and Duck were still trying to break Destini and the other girl's fight up while Aijah was whooping the girl that tried to jump me.

Aijah finally got up, "Remember this ass whooping the next time you try to jump someone." She stomped her one last time.

"God damn." Eli muffled his laugh while me and Mir bussed out laughing.

"You good?" I asked Aijah as I fixed her hair. She nodded. Reece had broke up Destini's fight and started walking towards her car as Duck walked towards us shaking his head.

"This yo last time fuckin' fighting Amari." Duck said irritably.

"Yes massa." I sighed and he straight faced me. Little did he know I've been done with fighting ever since I fought Justice. Only reason I fought today is because those girls thought they could press Destini and jump her and i'm not going for that.

"I need me a blunt after that shit." Eli blew out a breath. Acting like he's the one who was fighting.

We got back to my apartment 15 minutes later and got situated in the living room. While everyone broke into their own conversations I went into the bathroom and washed my face making sure the girl didn't scratch me or anything.

As I was drying my face I heard a knock at the bathroom door which was already open.

"Waddup."

"You good?" Mir asked, staring at me through the mirror. For some reason that sent chills up my spine.

"Mhm, trynna make sure the bitch didn't scratch me or anything." I said, surveying my face in the mirror. He chuckled and continued to stare at me before walking out.

He's being-

Nice?

The nigga must be high. Which he obviously was because as soon as I walked out of the bathroom the smell of weed hit me in the face and smoke filled my entire living room.

"What I tell y'all about smoking in here? If all gon' smoke open the balcony door at least, or just go out there." I told Duck, Eli, and Mir who were sitting in the living room.

"Yes mom." Eli huffed, getting up and walking to the balcony while Duck and Mir followed, laughing.

I shook my head and walked into the kitchen and seen Aijah sitting on the island and cheesing for no reason. "Fuck you so happy for?" I chuckled, going

in my fridge.

"I seen ole boy go to the bathroom to check on you." She coo'd, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yea, you got it alll fucked up." I laughed, shaking my head. She doesn't even know the half of it.

"Whyyy? He's seems nice Mari !" She smiled, making me look back at her with raised eyebrows.

"Gir- he's just high as a muthafucka right now. He's actually mean as fuck and very blunt."

"What's wrong with being blunt?"

"He's just so blunt that it's rude. The nigga will say anything on his mind, not caring who feelings he's hurting. He did that shit to me like last month and we just got back cordial again." I explained, setting a cup on my counter and pouring some Sprite in it.

"What he say?" I explained everything to Aijah. From me and Mir's confrontation in the car that

night to him 'apologizing' at Eli's momma cookout. I didn't wanna make Mir seem like a bad person or anything cause I don't know everything about him. I'm sure theres a reason for why he acts the way he

does. But still— don't take that shit out on me.

"Damn. Okay he is kinda mean.." Aijah pursed her lips to the side. "Seee?"

"But you know theres probably some fucked up reason for why he acts like that right?"

"Yea I know.."

"So just don't take everything he says to heart. He doesn't know you and you'on know him, you get what i'm saying?"

"Yea, I get whatchu mean." I nodded dismissivley. Regardless of whatever reason he has for being the way he is, I don't think me and Mir are compatible. Even as friends. He's just too rude overall, and he's a prideful ass person.

It took him over a month after that whole confrontation in the car for him to admit he was wrong for what he said to me. I don't like that.. I shouldn't have to force an apology out of you, nor should I have to tell you that throwing something that I confided in you with in my face is wrong.

It's simple— me and Mir's personalities and attitudes just don't click.
