The next day (at school):
Mrs. Grant (the teacher):Alright everyone. I have an assignment for you.
Class: (groans)
Mrs. Grant: Shut up. MOST of you will be going to college in a few years so you better get used to it. I’m going to put you into groups, so listen for your name. I want Angela, Eunique, and Omari in group one. I want Demario, Druex, and Anastasia in group two. I want…
Druex: Aw fuck me…
Anastasia: With pleasure. (pulls her chair up beside him)
Demario: Can we please have a drama free group?
Druex: She won’t even look at me.
Demario: Who?
Druex: Angela. She think I slept with that nasty girl. Again.
Anastasia: I’m sitting right here.
Druex: (ignoring Anastasia) What am I gonna do?
Demario: Make her listen.
Druex: I told you. She ain’t havin it. She just slapped me and left. I tried callin her, talkin to her at school… I didn’t think I’d care if she got mad…
Demario: You gotta make her listen. Trust me. She wants to hear you but she’s still pissed.
Druex: How you know so much all of a sudden?
Demario: The same thing happened to Storm (Demario’s sister for those of you that don’t know.)
Druex: What happened wit you and Eunique?
Demario: (smiles) Just a little somethin somethin. (leans back in his chair) Aye Eunique!
Eunique: What nigga?
Demario: You got any extra disks we can use to do this project? I ain’t got no more.
Eunique: Yeah. Swing by my crib after school. (she turns around)
Demario: Aye…
Eunique: What?
Demario: I love you.
Eunique: I love you too boo.
Later that day…
Eunique’s House:
Demario: Hey Mrs. Grey.
Mrs. Grey (Eunique’s mom): Hey sweetie! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.
Demario: I’ve been around.
Mrs. Grey: Well, I wish I had time to do the whole “ask you 50 unimportant questions” routine but I’m running late and EUNIQUE needs to bring her butt down here!
Demario: Try to smile Mrs. Grey.
Eunique: Is he bothering you?
Mrs. Grey: Of course not. You ready?
Eunique: Yeah. The disks are over by the computer. Just lock the door when you leave.
Demario: Aight. Holla at ya boy.
Druex: Hurry up man. I’m tired of sittin in the car wit that girl.
Demario: Aight. Just let me find a disk.
Druex: Just grab some and let’s go.
Demario grabs a handful of disks and runs out the door, making sure to lock it behind him.
