"They ain put no sauce on the bag?" I asked Geo as we sat on my bed, eating chic fil a. He passed me the bag

"You and ol girl ain talk all day. What happened with y'all?"

"Tia?.. she'll be alright. She just in her feelings and I tried to talk to her once today but she ain respond so I ain pressing nobody to talk to me. The fuck"

"What happened?"

"She mad cause I asked her why she was so invested in me and keem and shit. Like Tia doing too much for something that ain got shit to do with her. Ion interfere with whatever she got going on"

"Cause she ain got shit going on."

"Well if she wanna stay mad that's on her"

I reached in the bag and grabbed one of the sauces then opened it. Geo's phone lit up on his lap making me look and before he picked it up, I grabbed it

"Who is Emani? She a lil nasty thing" I laughed as I read her message to him

"A lil freak. She got to another school"

"Well if she get down like that.. I see why you call her a freak" I passed him his phone and he chuckled

"She ain gone last long"

"Just like all the other ones"

Geo nodded while he laid back against my pillows and looked over at me

"Everybody can't be you and ol boy"

"Who? Keem? What is there to be like?"

"Y'all cute or whatever"

I sucked my teeth while grabbing the fry out of his hand that he was about to eat and ate it "dont do that"

"Do what?"

"You tryina be funny. Keem cool and everything but... ion really know"

"Know what?"

"About being in a relationship with that boy. That's why I like the fact that he ain that serious about being in one. And Tia really didn't make shit better tryina press us into being in one"

"Fuck Tia. If you'on wanna be with that nigga like that then don't"

I sat up and looked at Geo as he continued to lay back on my bed eating his fries

"What you think?"

"Bout yall? Why you askin me?"

"Cause you my best friend Geoooo. You supposed to help me with stuff like this"

"You talk to yo female friends about shit like this, not me"

"Don't nobody like me"

"I wonder why"

I rolled my eyes and sat the sauce on my nightstand along with my food

"Fuck you. It's their lost"

"You right. It's their lost zig and you'on need none of them fake ass bitches around you anyways. You lucky I let you be around them corny ass niggas"

"You LET me?" I repeated and he nodded

"I'm forreal"

"Geo, you can't LET me do shit"

"Zig we all know how this shit go. Don't try to act up" geo told me as he held his phone up and started to text. "You going to yo boy party next weekend?"
