135 (Capital Steez)

15• No Devotion

Jasmine continued to talk about Raymond while I just sat there blankly, not paying attention to her at all.

"Are you listening?" She said in between her sentence.

"Yeah! You said he's caring and something like that." I looked away.

She frowned. "Is he really on your mind?"

I snapped out of it. "Huh-wh-Steez?! Nah, I'm done thinking about him for now."

"Mhm. You done with your yogurt?" She asked while finishing hers up.

"Yeah." We threw our cups away and walked out.

   While Jasmine and I were in the car Steez called me and I finally decided to pick up.

Me: What?!
Steez: Are you mad at me?!
Me: No! What do you want?!
Steez: We need to run.
Me: Steez, Track doesn't start-
Steez: I need to run away and I need you to go with me.
Me: What?! Why?! Nigga you trippin'.
Steez: Tonight imma get you. Pack what you need and leave your phone.
Me: Steez I'm not going with y-
Steez: I'll get you around three in the morning.

* End Of Phone Call*

I sighed and scratched my head.

What the fuck? Why is he running away? Why is he dragging me with him? Is he ok?

"Yo!" Jasmine put her hands in my face and I slapped her hand away.

"What?!" I said loudly.

She looked at me.

"My bad. Just don't put your hands in my face. I hate that shit."

"Sorry. Anyway, you ok? That phone call sounded intense." She asked.

"Yeah-no. It wasn't anything. I'm probably not coming to school Monday."

"Why? Appointment?"

"Yeah. Physical." I lied.

"Oh!" She chirped. "That's cool. I'll see you on school Tuesday right?"

"Mhm." My palms started sweating and my mouth got dry.

"You doing sports or something?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're getting a physical and it's that season..." She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah...Volleyball." I scoffed.

"Ooooo! Gonna show that ass off in them tight ass shorts."

I laughed nervously. "Ha! Yeah! Exactly!"

• 12:00 a.m •

Steez convinced me to run with him and I'm nervous as fuck. I put my needs in a Jansport bag and wrote Issa and Dad a note:

Dear Issa and Dad,
I know you two are worried right now but I'm fine. I didn't get kidnapped or killed. I chose to leave. I'll see you guys later.
                           - Love, Steffy

I put that on the dining table and went back to my room. I do need to get out of Virginia. I've been here for too long and it's getting to me.
   Before it's time for me to go I decided to take a nap and actually think about what I'm doing and how it'll effect the people I love.
