One, two, three and to the fo
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do
Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
Cause you know about to rip shit up
Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby
Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy
Death Row is the label that pays me
Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this

The music blasted through the house. Yesterday my high school class, class of '94, walked across the stage so to celebrate, one of our classmates that goes by the name Scooter decided to throw a graduation party at his house.

"Sophie, I don't see him" I said to her, in search of Darren. He arrived to the party earlier with his friends while I decided to come later with Sophie. I wore a black, tight fitted dress with a pair of heels that weren't too high. Some of my hair was pulled back in a ponytail and the rest was left hanging then to top it off, I wore some large silver hoop earrings that went along with the silver necklace he gave me for my birthday last year, which was coming back around in two days. (The same necklace I would be putting in his casket with him just a few days later)

"I'm pretty sure he's somewhere out back acting a fool with those friends of his. Look, I'll catch up with you later, I see my boo" she responded before walking off, tugging on the dress she wore that just barely covered her ass. I shook my head and continued looking around for Darren

"Gracie, wassup girl" Dennis smiled

"Hey Dennis. Have you seen Darren?"

His smile kinda faded a little and he shrugged "last time I saw ol boy was out in the back. Probably talking to some girl"

I rolled my eyes and walked pass him. I pushed through everybody, making my way to the backyard of the house hoping I would find Darren. Luckily I spotted him with a red cup in his left hand talking to some guy. As I walked over to him, the guy he was standing with looked at me which caused him to look

"Wassup baby" Darren smiled, showing off his shiny white teeth. As soon as I got to him, his right arm hugged my waist and his lips met mine. Once he pulled away from the kiss, his eyes traveled up and down my body while he licked his lips "you look fine as hell tonight"

"I know. I had to look good one more time before I turn 18"

"The way you looking, you might not be able to walk right on your birthday" Darren whispered in my ear and I laughed, throwing my arms around his neck

"What you got planned for your birthday anyways. Since you never told me what you wanted to do"

I shrugged. All these years Darren and I have been together, we've done pretty much everything you can think of

"I don't know. I think I just wanna lay up under my boyfriend. We can just chill, watch a movie, eat some snacks and whatever happens after that just happens"

"Oh you know what happening after that" he replied, sliding his hand down to my butt and I grinned before kissing his lips

"I love you Gracie"

"I love you too Darren" I told him with a smile. Darren put the cup that he held in his other hand up to his lips and took a sip of it. When I caught a whiff of the scent from the drink, I realized it was liquor which made me raise my eyebrow
