"Cortez, Cortez, Cortez," I sang as I walked over to Joey's older brother to hug him. "Of course I run into your ass getting food."

"Gotta eat man. What's good tho baby sis?"

"Nothing. Where you been I ain't seen you in a minute."

"Work, nephew, and my lady."

"Same chick or..?" I ask knowing how much he switch women.

"Nah, got a little Spanish speaking mama now." He said with a grin.

"Oh gosh, I can't keep up with you."

"Nah, this one might be the real deal sis."

"You said that about the last one."

"Man nah, I can tell just by the way she call me Papi." He said with a smirk. "She crazy, pussy fye tho."

"Tmi bro, tmi." He shrugged.

"What about you tho? What's up with you and Jose?"

"Ew, don't call him that." I said

"That's the niggas name."

"No his name is Joseph, Joey, or Adams. Nothing else."

"Okay, you his lady so I'ma listen to you." I shook my head.

"You still didn't answer me. What's up with y'all?"

"Nothing we are..." I paused. "Friends I guess."

"For fuckin what?"

"Because we are, what do you mean?"

"Why you scared or some shit?"

"Honestly?"

"No feed me some bullshit." He said being sarcastic.

"Ha ha ha. No I'm not scared to go there with Joey again. Been there, dealt with that. I think, I think I'm just more hesitant this time."

"That's understandable I guess. As long as it happens eventually, like soon."

I shrugged. "Who knows."

"Dad, I locked my keys in the damn car again." I said walking into the campus gym knowing he has a spare to both me and Arie's cars.

"Don't lose this one too." My dad said taking the key off his keychain.

"I won't I'ma bring it right back to you after I get mine." I said taking it. "Thank you."

"Which house you at tonight?" He asked.

"I might spend the night with Bre."

"Wanna take ya brother? Me and Aleece got plans."

"Uh ew no." I said with a laugh. "I might take him."

"Aight if he don't go over Leece mom house tho. I'll let you know."

"Okay."

"Lil sis!" Jamal shouted once he realized I was in here.

"Ew you're all sweaty nigga don't hug me." I said backing up away from him.

"You fake nigga." He said mushing my head.

"I'ma beat you up that's what I'ma do." I said.

"Coach Eric, your daughters so fine." One of the football players said.

"You want off my fuckin football team?" My dad asks him.

"Aye, just saying." He said holding his hands up in surrender.
