I whimpered against his grip. PC had always been the most chill, and the most quiet. Now, he looked like a demon. And I believed every word he said.

He released my arm and nodded to another guy standing there. “Take her home.”

I didn’t want anyone else’s hands on me, so I forced myself to follow the guy to another car.

As soon as I sat in the backseat, a cramp hit me out of nowhere. When I looked down, I saw blood soaking out of my jeans, mixing with Trippy’s blood that covered me.

My stomach was knotted up completely. Even when I hugged myself, the pressure wouldn’t go away.

As soon as the car stopped in front of my house, I jumped out, snatching my canvas bag and shutting the door. There weren’t any lights on in my house, but I didn’t dare breathe easier.

Not when the silence greeted me on the other side of the threshold.

Not when I went to my room and locked the door behind me.

My eyes locked onto my desk chair. Moreso, the person rising from it.

His dead gaze flicked all over my body before settling on my face again. A gun hung loosely at his side, finger poised on the trigger, something Pops always taught us not to do.

Unless we were about to shoot.

“Something you wanna tell me, Snow?”

Trust No Bitch

Thelunchbellsoundedand soon hella kids crowded the halls of Ulysses S. Grant High School. Peanut had hit me up, saying he was on the front lawn with pizzas, So I made my way there, spotting Ty-Ty and Fredo already sitting next to him.

I dapped up my bros and grab two slices of pepperoni, placing one on top of the other and biting into half of it.

“Where Set and Reem?” Peanut asked, mouth full of pizza.

Ty-Ty swallowed and grabbed an orange soda. “Set got lunch detention for the next five days. Reem’s prolly in the library, fucking hisfineass chemistry partner. Lucky bastard.”

“Maaaan, Reading Ass Reem is not fucking that girl in the library… ay, but if he is, make sure he wrapping it up. You never believe what the fuck I just got done doing.”

“Tatiana pregnant? You cracked?!”

Peanut shoved Ty and glared at him. “No, bitch. Why me and Turkey had to get Autumn’s ass from the abortion clinic in SouthEast this morning? Turkey had smoke coming out his ears until she admitted she was there with Wynter.”

My mouth stopped chewing.

Shit, my whole body froze up.

“Damn, foreal?” Ty asked, scarfing down more pizza.

“Yeah, she let some nigga knock her ass up, but she did afetus deletus. Autumn was supposed to stay with her, but she had some test she couldn’t miss, so Turkey had me go get her and bring them back to they school. You talked to yo bottom bitch lately?”

Peanut cackled, pushing me playfully, snapping me out of whatever stasis I was in. I smiled automatically, and answered how he wanted me to.

“Nigga, fuck you.”

“I’m just wondering who the daddy is. Shad and Sean say she hella cool with them Get Money niggas. I bet it’s one of them.”

“You a nut,” Fredo chuckled, but it didn’t sound genuine.

Even Ty was more quiet than usual, even though neither one of us ever brought up Snow to each other.
