Rome-Messiah Jacione Harlem

"Yo what's up with you?" I asked nudging K'yonii and she didn't budge. I stood in front of her lifting her head up seeing her eyes were bloodshot red.

"Was you cryin'?" I asked and she tilted her head at me "No." she answered groggily

"What happened?" I asked looking around her room and she blinked at me before standing up and walking away.

Well what the fuck I do?

I just shrugged it off and started looking around. She fucked this room up. I thought to myself picking up a broken phone.

"Damn it don't even turn on" I mumbled "Nigga why you let her leave the room?" KJ asked making me scrunch my face up

"She about to go hurt somebody." he added and I shrugged "Okay?"

"Oh my fuckin'- have you ever wondered why her lock is on the outside of the door and not the inside?"

"No. I haven't." I blinked "Because she be having episodes and break every fucking thing. Last time she broke my fuckin' arm." he said

"I can get out when the door's locked dumbass." K'yonii muttered from behind him making him jump

"Are you okay now?" he asked

"Yes."

"What happened?" I asked and she bucked her eyes at the room "I know but what made you- nevermind you ready or what?"

"I'm not going to school." she said and I jerked my head back "Girl. Tuh." I scoffed walking to her closet "You wanna match? I think we should match." I said

"This niggaaaa." KJ laughed "Bro why yo wardeobe similar to mine just smaller?" I said and KJ bussed out laughing

"You laughin' I'm serious I can probably find the outfit I have on right now." I stale faced him.

I just randomly grabbed some clothes and walked out the closet

"Arms up!" I said and she looked at me and chuckled "Put yo arms up I don't got all day Marie." I said trying to roll my eyes

"I do. I told you I wasn't going." she said "Sigh. Thats too bad" I said "This nigga just said sigh bye. Oou bars" KJ said walking out

"Come on arms up." I said and she put her arms up "Oou yo earring. Take off yo own shirt." I stopped

"Ewww you think you a niggaaaa." I said seeing she had on a wife beater under "I am a nigga. Top motherfuckin' flight." she said

"And you my bitch." she added "Now you're doing too much." I said putting her shirt over her head "Come one you need me to do yo hair too or what?"

"I'm not going nobody told you to get me dressed." she said and I threw her sweats at her "Put them on I'ma do yo hair." I said and she bussed out laughin'

"What you laughin' for." I frowned "You know how to hair?" she asked still laughing "I could put that motherfucka in a ponytail and I ca' do twisties." I say

"Oh." she nods trying not to laugh "Come here and pull your pants up bro." I said and she pulled them up while buckin' at me.

"Okay we got..." I trailed off looking at my phone "3 minutes. What hairstyle you want?" I asked and she shrugged looking at herself in the mirror

"My booty gettin' big."

"Period." I co-signed forming her hair into a ponytail "You gotta spray bottle or something?" I asked and she opened a drawer getting one out.

"And I need that brush." I said making her laugh "This nigga so serious." she mumbled to herself but I heard

"Bye why you actually know what you doin'?" she stale faced me "Face me." I said and she turned looking up and I bucked at her

"Boy."

"Girl." I retorted and sprayed around her hair then started brushing the back of her hair up and worked around her head

"Don't fall asleep on me." I chuckled "It feel good when other people do my hair no matter the hairstyle." she said with her eyes closed

"Stop staring at me weirdo." she said with her eyes still closed "I just fucked the shit out of you in my head." I mumbled

"Wowww."

"Okay I'm done I guess you going like this." I shrugged and she shrugged

"Shiiiit I look the fuck good you did that playa." she said high fiving me then made a lightskin face and walked out

"What shoes?"

"Just get my air force's."

"Which ones?"

"The white ones. I only have white ones." she said and I shook my head "But there's more than one box." I said and she sighed loudly

"Move." she pushed me out the way grabbing a box "Who are you- you wanna die so baddd." I sighed

"IGHT Y'ALL GOIN' TO SCHOOL GET OUT THE FUCK OUT MY HOUSE!" TK yelled "Ight na hurry up fa he come with a belt." K'yonii said running out the room

"I'm gone hit his ass back." I mumbled walking out the room after her. "K'yonn don't fuckin' touch me with that belt." K'yonii said

"You just fucked up yo room you the one that need yo ass beat." he said bucking at her and fake flinched walking out the house

"Yo don't be talkin' to my sister like that." Yonaa said from behind "Fuck yo sister." he said sticking up the middle finger

"Fuck YO sister." me and her said in unison "That's not even yo sister." he said squinting his eyes at me "It don't matter that's my shorty." I shrugged

"Fuck yo shorty."

"But I got one." I shrugged "How the fuck she get my keys? Just be stealing." I sighed "Nah nigga you be lackin'." Yonaa said from behind me

"Fuck yo sister." I bucked "Fuck yo sister." she retorted flipping me off "I don't have a sister." I replied flipping her back off

"Y'all look stupid." K'yonn said and we both flipped him off "I'm finna get to bussin'. Y'all two been havin' me fucked up all mornin'." he said closing his eyes

'Run' Yonaa mouthed "Shiiit fuck you. I'ma walk away from my death." I mumbled walking to the car before I heard gunshots

"Awl shit that nigga was serious." I said "My nigga hurry up and get in the car." K'yonii mugged and I stood by the door then got in.

"Tell myself when to get in." I mumbled "This fuckin' rain is fuckin' up my leather." she mumbled

"I'll shit on yo leather nigga."

"Ayo. Who the fuck are you fam? Aye fam? Fam?" she said and I bussed out laughing

"Numb to the painnnn." K'yonii sung "Literally." Yonaa said and KJ bussed out laughin' "All you do is get mad. I ain't never seen you express no other emotion."

"Bitch no I don't. I be happy all the time." she lied "No you don't out of all 17 years of knowing you, you've never been sad. Crying. Happy. Excited notin' jus boring or mad." Yonaa said

"You too. Y'all a grumpy ass couple. Y'all funny as shit though" KJ said "I don't even be mad." I said and K'yonii smacked her lips

"What you smackin' yo lips for Marie?" I asked and she sighed then stopped walking "You li' Rodney son?" she asked "Yea I'm li' Rodney son."

"You talkin' 'bout Rodney with the fat ass butt?" she asked "Man why is you playin' with me yo." I said grabbing her by her shirt.

"My fault OG." she said putting her hands up in surrender "Yo they're fuckin' slow." Yonaa laughed "Nah fuck that run ya pockets yo." I said

"For whaaaat?" she whined and then bell rang "Y'all kids are not going to be normal. Mean ass quiet ass goofy when they wanna be ass kids." Yonaa said

"My crew lets go." I said draping my arm around K'yonii "Can I get on yo back?" she asked me and I shook my head making her pull my hair

"My mama said every action is a reaction so if do it again, I'ma rock yo world up in this motherfucka." I said

"So rock."

"Put yo hands on me ag-"

"Rock it-" she said pulling it again

"Motherfucka do it again." I said holding her up against the wall "Stooop you know I'm afraid of heights bro." she said kicking her feet

"You little as fuck. Where yo pops at huh?"

"Put me downnnn. I'm finna fuckin' kick you dude." she snapped

"Nahh where yo pops at?"

"Jacione I'm finna kick you."

"If you kick me I'ma step back and drop you. Look how far you are from the ground. But hey do what you want." I shrugged

"Boy put her down. Crazy tail self." Yonaa walked passed us and I got closer to K'yonii making her wrap her legs around me so she can get down

"Where you goin'?" K'yonii asked her hopping off of me "To yo class. They doin' tardie sweeps." she said while walking and K'yonii hopped off of me

"Oou hurry up cause Mr. Wallace don't lock his door during tardie sweeps and if he do he'll let us in." she said speed walking behind Yonaa

"Tired of servin' detention huh?" I said and she scolded me "Nah for real what's her name? Clare or some shit?"

"Who?" she asked as we walked in Mr. Wallace class "Good morning" Mr. Wallace greeted "Mornin'." all of us said in unison.

"Our 3rd period teacher her name Clare right?" I asked and she laughed shaking her head "Claudine."

"Oh well her. What you do to her?" I asked "What you mean?" she scrunched her dace up "You could breathe and she'll just straight up give you detention." I said and she shrugged

"I don't know. Well she supposed to be one of the 'mean teachers' but I called her a bitch one day and she was just shook and every since she always try to check me but now I don't give a fuck." I shrugged

"Girl you know dang well that's our auntie and you did something no one could figure out." KJ said

"That's not my auntie. Mama didn't have no siblings I knew of before she died so therefore she was the only child. I rest my case. When the fuck you get in here?" she asks

"I been in here."

"Wait she really y'all auntie?" I asked "Yep." "Nope." they say "She is." Yonaa said "She don't like none of us talkin' 'bout her mama died cause we stressed her out." she added

"Right. Fuck you and yo mama." KJ said "Wait is y'all talkin' about y'all grandma Rosita?" I asked "Yea we talkin' 'bout Yonaa grandma." KJ said and Yonaa smacked her lips

"Why y'all got so much animosity towards that lady?" I asked and they start lookin' around "Shiiiit." Yonaa dragged scratching the back of her head

"Because that lady ain't shit and if she had a grave I'll spit on that bitch." K'yonii said "Oh wow- K'yonii is everything okay at home?" I asked touching her head

"Don't touch me." she mutters pushing my hand away "Yea that's a touchy subject for her." KJ said "I don't give a fuck what's touchy I'll beat her the fuck in. Talkin' to me like she ain't got sense." I mugged

"I don't even be mad." Yonaa nudged KJ "Yea. Okay." he scoffed "I don't she just be havin' me fucked up." I shrugged

"Fucked up be you." she mumbled and I grabbed her by the back of her neck "Who the fuck-" I started she cut me off grabbing me by my shirt

"No you gone stop grabbin' me and talkin' to me like you crazy." she said looking right into my eyes and my hand traveled from the back of her neck to the front.

"Well then I'm crazy cause I'ma do what the fuck I want." I said and she nodded "Can I leave?" she asked Mr. Wallace as he walked pass

"Which one are you again?"

"K'yonii."

"Oh yep. You the crazy one. Gone ahead. I know you not gone come back let me get a packet for you." he said

"You got asthma?" she asked me randomly and I shook my head making her deck me in my neck hard as fuck.

Knocked my fuckin' esophagus outta place. I'ma beat the fuck out of her. On Rosita grave.

She got up to walk away but then stopped and took someone's water bottle off their desk and tossed it to me.

"She a li' evil motherfucka. You not gone be able to talk for the rest of the day. Hate when she do that shit to me." KJ said

"Stop fuckin' with her." Yonaa shrugged

"Y'all want a break but ain't nobody lined up. 5 seconds or y'all doin' suicides." coach said and we rushed to the line

"Y'all know we got a game in three days right?" he said and we nodded "Alright so act like it. Free throws then break." he said then walked away

"I'ma beat the shit out of your sister bro." I told KJ "Huh?" he laughed "That shit no funny I sound like I'm wheezing and that shit hurt" I mugged

"I can't hear you bro." he said and I stale faced him doing my free throws and threw the ball at him making him laugh

"Bro why you mad. It's okay you naturally quiet." he said whispering quiet "I don't wanna have to kill the whole family na." I mumbled

"Harlem! KJ! Garcia!" Coach yelled and I jogged over to him and chucked my head up "Wassup? And Garcia ain't here" KJ said from behind me

"Oh y'all gotta go to the counselors office. And why you extra quiet today?" he asked me "He got a K'yonii special." KJ laughed and I mugged him

"Oou." Coach said grabbing his neck "She be fuckin' him up. He be like 'I need water Coach.'" he pointed at KJ laughing

"That shit is not funny. She the only nigga I fear." he mumbled making him laugh "Nigga?"

"Yes. That is not no girl." he said and I shook my head "Alright get to the office." he chuckled dapping us up.

"You down bad that little motherfucka is crazy as shit." KJ said while we grabbed our backpacks

Duh bitch that's how I like 'em. Crazy.

"You better check to see if she took yo keys cause she didn't go to second. She be stealin'. Michael Jackson ain't got shit on her she the smooth criminal." he said

"Y'all goin' to the counselor too?" Yonaa asked from behind us and we nodded "Oop y'all think we in trouble?"

"I don't get in trouble I'm grown." KJ said "Boy- no you're not aren't you...like 4?" she scrunched her face up

"But....I'm older than you." he said "By 3 minutes bitch give it a break." she mumbled "Bro do you need some more water?" she turned to me and KJ bussed out laughing

"It's not even funny this nigga wheezin' with every step he take." she said "Duh dumbass your sister put a dent in his trachea."

Literally.

"Here she come right now." Yonaa said but I was already looking at her walk towards us "Oh yea we're definitely in trouble." KJ sighed

"I thought you was grown." Yonaa said opening the door walking in and KJ walked after her while I held the door open waiting for K'yonii

"I don't need no ride thank you." she stopped walking and I stale faced her making her start walking again.

"Don'thitmeI'msorry." she said trying to run past me but I grabbed her by her ponytail yanking her head down while looking at her.

"I apologize sir." she said and I looked at her "Oh however you could find it in yo heart to forgive me cause I could give a fuckless." she said and I nodded

"Could you let my hair go?" she asked and I shook my head "But I could see yo weewee pokin'." she frowned and I shrugged

"Let me go fo' I punch you in yo weewee." she said and I let her go pushing her head and walked further into the office seeing more people.

"I'm stayin' right here." K'yonii whispered leaning against me and I nodded cause shit I was finna stay right here too.

"We're waiting on a couple more students to come. You guys could sit down." she said and I shook my head "We good." K'yonii said

"Get yo butt of my dick." I said "Get yo weewee off my butt." she retorted "I'm against the wall dummy." I mugged

"I'm not dumb bitch." she mugged back "Ew you got a bo-." she said and I covered her mouth "Yes now you gotta stand here and cover it." I said

"I don't gotta do shit but be black and die." she mumbled "Okay you two sit." the counselor said "It's only one chair." Yonii said

"Figure it out." she said "Come on the quicker you move the quicker we're out of here." she added looking at her watch

"But there's a lot of people." K'yonii said "Excuse me?" she cupped her ear "It's too many people in here they don't like group activities." KJ explained

"There's only what... 12 people in here?" she squinted her eyes "That's a lot." we said in unison "I don't care sit. And do you need water?" she asked me as we walked over

I shook my head sitting down pulling K'yonii down in my lap. "You can't-" "Aht you said figure it out." Yonaa said "Okay so..." she started and I tuned her out

"Stop movin'." I muttered hold K'yonii's hips "It's pokin' my pum pum." she said "I know. I can feel it." I said and she threw her head back

"How?" she asked "Yo shit throbbin' bro." I said and her mouth fell "Tell me what I just said." Ms. Lopez said to us

"You said we're going to graduate early because we're already over our credits." K'yonii said "And what else?" she asked

"And people are trying to enroll so you're getting rid of senoirs with enough credits to graduate." I said and she cut her eyes at us

"Hmm." she hummed "The ceremony in December 18th. Your parents also meed to sign this permission slips." she added holding up a stack of papers and called out our names to get them.

"We have to go the ceremony?" me and K'yonii asked in unison "It's just getting your diploma. And it'll be a few more students than what there is now." she said

"But that's not what I ask-" K'yonii said and I grabbed her face making her look at me "Don't start." I said and she mugged me.

"You guys can leave. Have a great day. Make sure I get these permission slips before the 9th of December." she dismissed

"Give me my phone." I demanded "How you know I got it?" she asked "I didn't I just guessed but that confirmed it." I shrugged pushing her off of me

"I hate you Jody." she said taking my phone out her pocket handing it to me. "Y'all toxic." Yonaa scoffed "No we not. Well I'm not thats him." K'yonii said and I gasped

"Nah. You probably dropped it. I'm still gone beat yo ass. Watch." I said "Oh my goodness can we like talk about it?" she sighed

"I don't like talking."

"Come here I can make it feel better. And you can't hit me when I do cause it's gone feel weird." she said "Don't do itttt." KJ whispered loudly

"Shut uppp. It don't even hurt it just feel funny and I didn't hit him that hard." she lied "Nah that motherfucka hurt." I said

"No I mean like when I hit KJ like that he can't talk at all." she said "Yea cause you be punchin' me instead knockin' my adams apple to the back of my throat and shit." he said

"Don't listen to him come here." she said standing in front of me and I leaned down "Awh hell nah you tryna choke me. Nevermind." I said

"No I'm not." she chuckled "It's coo'. I'm good." I said shaking my head "Give me my keys girl dang you always stealing." I said and she smacked her lips giving me the keys

"Nobody was stealing you just be giving me yo stuff and don't remember that you do." she said "Well you need to remind me duh." I said

"Y'all wanna race?" Yonaa asked "Not in my car. Hell nah." KJ said and Yonaa smacked her lips. "Let me drive. Siah you wanna race?" K'yonii asked

"You not drivin' my car." KJ said "Come on boys versus girls." Yonaa said "No." he said "Why? Cause you a bitch?" she pressed

"No because your sister can't fucking drive." he said "I can drive." she defended "No you can't." me and him said in unison
