“Why you putting your pants on, where you bouta go?” I was asking where she was going. I feel like I just got on the phone with her and I didn’t want her to leave.
“Oh you bouta go to the hospital to get your AIDS checked out?” I said to Christy.
She snickered at my comment. “No, I don’t have aids, I’m about to go to the store to buy some ice cream and Doritos.” Christy said to me.
“You’re fat, why you always gotta be fat?” I said to Christy.
She scoffed at my statement. “I.am.not.fat.” She said.
“This is the first thing that I at since the cafeteria today.” Christy again said to me.
For some reason, girls are very sensitive about their body weight, and one of their worst fears is being fat, I think that’s true for just about every girl in the world.
“How come you didn’t eat when you came home?” I asked her.
“I fell asleep, and I had to arrange my clothes after I came home from the mall today.” Christy said to me.
I almost forgot that she said that she was going to go to the mall today after lunch today at school.
“What about you? What did you do today after you came home from school?” Christy asked me.
“Umm… Let’s see.” I started recollecting the events that happened to me today after school. For some reason I could only recall the conversation that I had with Jerry over the phone when I told him that he look like the black Spider-Man and he told me that I look like Kunta Kinte, and our plan tomorrow morning to smoke up with Joe before we go to school. Everything else before that was blank. I started thinking deeper. Then I remembered all the other classes that I went to at school after lunch, I remembered Jahlisa, and Mr. Spica, and I remembered walking home. I took a shortcut and I met up with Abdul.
I wanted to tell Christy about my run in with Abdul but I didn’t want her to think differently of me if she found out that I smoked with Abdul, and my plan to smoke up with Joe and Jerry tomorrow morning after school.
“Well I went to all my classes, and after school I took a shortcut on the way back, and I ran past Abdul, I smoked up with him. Then I went home and made some sausages for my little sister, and I fell asleep, now I’m talking to you boo.” I said to her.
A wide smile spread across Christy’s face and she smiled, “sounds like you’re having a really… productive day.” She said to me.
“Yes, I suppose you’re right.” I said to her.
“Oh and I had some Oreos, I stole some from my little sister’s room.” I said.
“Are you proud of yourself?” Christy asked me.
“Yes, yes I am, thank you for asking.” I said.
Christy gave a short loud laugh. “Whatever boy, I’ma call you back soon as I come back from buying these Doritos.”
“Yeah you better!” I said to her.
“And if I don’t…?” Christy asked me.
“I’ll blow up your house and take you as captive and hold you against your will.” I said.
Christy laughed out loud. “Yeah whatever boy just pick up when I call you back.” She said.
“Don’t tell me what to do!” I said to her.
Christy snickered lightly, and then she hung up.
