It's Called Life
Rayna POV:
"I'm tryna fw you, lemme take you on a date." Kade said and I smiled.
"I mean I guess." I said and he sucked his teeth.
"You guess? Ima need a better answer than that."
"Well.. yes."
"That's better." He smiled rubbing his durag.
"Boy you not swimming so ion know why you rubbing your head like that."
"Girl stop playing, you know a nigga swimming."
"Ain't shit under there but scalp stop lying to yourself."
"Stop the cap, you know I'm swimming."
"You got ripples, not waves." I laughed and he sucked his teeth.
"Stop hatin on a nigga."
"Ian hating, but I guess we could leave it at that." I said putting the phone on the counter, muting it and peeing.
I listened to him talk then unmuted him when I finished. Then sat back on my bed.
"Why you put me on mute bruh??"
"Because I can."
"You prolly wasn't even listening to me."
"I really was."
"What I said then."
"You basically said you might have to go later cause you going somewhere w ya bro's."
"Ohâ" All of a sudden ALL THREE of my brothers came in my room. fuck.
"What y'all want." I said looking up playing dumb.
"To bother you, who you on the phone with." Ramon asked getting on my bed trying to look and I quickly hung up my phone and locked it.
"Y'all not finna embarrass me again."
"You already know ian finna do allat." Ray said sitting down on my bed and Ramir came too.
"Well damn, get comfortable I guess." I started moving over to give them more space.
"Don't worry, we will." Ramir smiled sarcastically putting his arm around me. "Spill the tea sis." He said in a girly voice and I laughed at him.
"No, I'll never forget what y'all did last time. Y'all the reason ion take people serious till this day." I shuddered at the memory.
"No, we ain't gone forget what you tried to do." They mugged me and I awkwardly looked away and scratch the back of my head.
"That wasn't y'all business, I don't do that to y'all." I said trying to shake off the embarrassment.
"Y'all can't even act like the shit wasn't funny." Ramir said and they all laughed.
"IT WAS EMBARRASSING!! Y'all chased him down the street half naked because he almost took my v-card. Then y'all watched me like a hawk for months and brought it up in our arguments. He wouldn't even talk to me after that."
"We wouldn't have did allat if you wasn't trying to lose your v-card" Ramon said and I rolled my eyes.
"Facts, for the most part we minded our business until that point." Ramir agreed.
"Y'all hypercritical, all y'all lost y'all's and y'all ruined my attempt at a first time."
"We did you a favor, that nigga looked like a smurf." Ray said shaking his head.
"He had a glow down." I frowned.
"No, you was just blind. Everybody knew he was ugly but you. We saved you."
"Whatever, stop talking bout it. I wanna forget that happened."
For the next few hours we talked about our childhood memories. Then we watched movies till we fell asleep.

"Where we going?"
"Chili's"
We listened to music the whole way there. We got out the car and the hostess seated us. We ordered our drinks (a sprite & a lemonade) and the waiter came back to see what we wanted.
"Can I get a loaded potato, please."
"I wanna rack of ribs." Kade ordered. She walked off and Kade's gaze temporarily followed her. Umm, what's the reason.
We made small talk until the food was brought out and then we started eating.
"I'm surprised yeen get a salad , most girls do that shit on dates."
"Shit no, I'm hungry and ima eat sum I want."
"I like that. Then they be eating all slow and shit. Like how the fuck I'm halfway through my food and you then took 2 bites of that dry ass salad." He shook his head and I laughed.
"That shit so dumb. Then they'll be like I'm tryna watch my figure. Next date they ordering platters and shit."
"Yeen never lied. You ready for basketball season?"
"Yea definitely, can't wait for football season to end."
"Ima have to disagree onnat, football obviously the better sport."
"Nahh, you dickin... basketball will always be the better sport. All the goats played or play basketball."
"Football got goats too tho."
"Be fr, everybody talk bout basketball goats more than football. MJ, Kobe, Lebron, Magic, Larry Bird, and hella other people. Who football got?"
"Jerry rice, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Sanders. Football got some heat too. Football the best sport hands down."
"Basketball will always be superior, but whatever agree to disagree."
"You gotta come to my games."
"Bet, ima come next week."
"Don't come being a lil hater neither. Know you don't like football and allat."
"I do like football, basketball just better." I shrugged.
Ramon POV:
"China, chill out bruh."
We're currently doing our project for 1st block and she's focused on everything but the project.
"Man why you being so serious. We gone finish the project, relax."
"I gotta C, you could be childish when we finish this work."
"That's a good grade, won't kill ya."
"Shid, my mama don't play that. Plus.. I'm tryna get my money."
"What money gotta do with it?"
"They give us money for progress reports and report cards."
"Ray where you going?" I asked turning away from China as he walked downstairs.
"Work."
"Work?? when you gotta job?"
"Me and Rayna got some last week."
"Y'all work together? Where y'all work?"
"Chic-fil-a"
"How tf your mean ass gone work at chic-fil-a you barley even smile."
"Ian mean nigga, but I gotta go fore' I'm late."
"Bye, be safe nigga."
"He never talk." China said and I looked at her.
"He do talk, he just don't talk to you."
"Ha , ha , ha. Very funny."
"Wasn't tryna be funny it's true."
"Whatever."
"To be honest, ian fuckin wit yo vibes rn. Let's just do this project."
"What you mean"
"Nothing bruh, come on."
After that she started focusing and we made it to a decent stopping point.
"Alright, I can't keep working in silence like this let's take a break." China said and I looked up.
"Ight, what you wan do."
"Let's go get sum to eat then come back."
We went to chic-fil-a and Ray was outside with his usual mug causing me to shake my head. When I got to him I pulled out my phone and took a quick video. "My son chasin the bag, check him out." He sucked his teeth and I laughed ending the video.
"Nigga what you want."
"Damn.. yeen gon smile this is poor customer service."
He just looked at me blankly, so I started ordering. "I wanna 10 count nugget meal, lemonade as the drink, and some chic-fil-a sauce. Holdup... what you want." I turned to China.
"A chicken sandwich meal, no pickles, a sweet tea, and some Polynesian sauce."
Who tf like sweet tea.
"nigga ain't even said my pleasure." I mumbled as I pulled up to the window and paid for our food.
We ended up eating then talking, deciding to finish off the project later.
