There was no reply. I waited a bit, then after a couple seconds I said “Christy! What are you doing?”

Still there was no reply. I could hear lots of grunts and moaning, she sounded like Jahlisa when Mr. Bulk be telling her to do push-ups. The female push-ups are super easy, they get to actually rest their legs on the ground while they do push-ups, but for the boys we have no support whatsoever, and still Jahlisa still be struggling.

“I’m trying… it’s these…” Christy said while grunting still.

Then I heard a thud, and Christy erupted in laughter.

“What you laughing for?” I asked her.

She didn’t reply to my question, she continued laughing. Christy’s face was lit up with laughter.

“IT’S THESE JEANS!” Christy said while still laughing.

“I need to get bigger ones, these jawns is far too tight.” She said.

I thought for a moment, then a response came to my head. “Maybe… It’s not the jeans’ fault., maybe…” I said.

Christy waited for me to finish my statement. “Maybe what? you pervert.” She said.

“Why I always gotta be a pervert, it’s not good to call people out of their names.” I said to Christy.

“I’m not calling you out of your name, I’m telling you exactly what you is boy.” Christy said.

“And what am I?” I asked Christy.

“You.are. a. pervert.” Christy said to me, while pausing between every word, so as to ensure that I understood the words coming out of her mouth.

“How though? Tell me?” I asked Christy.

“Boy you know how, you were doing it at lunch today also.” Christy said.

“What was I doing?” I asked her.

“Stop playing dumb boy you know exactly what you were doing?” Christy said in reply to my statement.

I gave a short laugh. “No duh SHERLOCK! I know what I was doing but I want you to say it.” I said.

Christy laughed at what I said. “Why you want me to say it if you already know?” Christy said questioningly. Though I could tell that she already knew what I was thinking, she only wanted to keep this conversation going.

“So what you get me from the store?” I asked Christy, trying to change the subject.

Christy gave a short laugh. “You didn’t tell me to get you anything. I only bought Doritos and Apple Juice.” She said.

“Did you eat it yet?” I asked her.

“What the juice? No not yet.” Christy said.

I thought for a minute about what she just said. “Wow, I never knew that you could ‘eat juice’ but OK.” I said.

Christy laughed out loud. “Boy you know what I meant.” She said as she laughed again.

“I’m hungry though, why you always gotta be greedy and not buy me anything, how inconsiderate of you.” I said to Christy jokingly.

“BOY YOU NEVER TOLD ME TO BUY YOU ANYTHING!” Christy shouted over the phone.

“I’m not greedy! If you would’ve told me to buy you something I would’ve brought it for you.” Christy said.

“You would’ve bought it to my house?” I asked her.

There was a short pause, then Christy laughed a bit “Probably not, but if you wanted to get it you’re gonna have to come over here.” She said

“Alright, go back to the store and buy me some Oreos and I’m coming over.” I was lying to Christy of course, but I just wanted to know how she was going to respond.

“Okay how many packs you want?” She said.

“200 packs of Oreos and some milk!” I said.

She laughed out loud, “Speaking of packs.” I said.

“I had some bomb weed today with DuLi on the train tracks, I was so high.” I said to her.

“I’m happy you enjoyed yourself.” Christy said in a monotonous tone.

She told me that she was happy but she didn’t sound very happy.

“You ever smoked?” I asked her.

“Yeah, a couple times, but I stopped.” Christy said.

“Why you stop?” I asked her.

“Because… it’s not good for your health and it weakens your immune system, and plus I’m not that type of girl.” Christy said.

I wanted to ask her what type of girl she thought she was but I wanted to stay on the topic of weed.

“I’ma turn you out, we gon smoke up tomorrow when I come over.” I said to Christy.
