My Best Friend

Business

Makayla POV

The past two months have been pretty good. Leah has been telling me all that happened the past seven years. I missed out on a lot but oh well. I was still mad that I had to leave New York cause I missed Stephanie so much but mom promised that I could go visit her in two weeks. Jordan wasn't himself. Or maybe the old Jordan. We really didn't talk and when I asked him if he wanted to hangout he always turned me down. I guess people move on. Javon on the other hand has been so sweet and nice to me. We hung out quite a bit. Its unofficial but I think I might be feeling him. Two months of him carrying me to school and hanging out got some people wondering if we was together. Even mom and dad liked him. Marqus, not so much but who cares. He's what I wanted in a guy. Maybe we could elevate from just friends to actually being more than friends.

Hopped up out the bed

Turn my swag on

Ohh

I turned off my alarm and got up. I went into the bathroom to do my hygiene. After doing what I had to do I started to look for something to wear to school. I took out my black leggings, my camouflage crewneck sweatshirt, and my Timberlands. After getting dressed I did my hair in a high bun and applied some mascara, eyeliner, and some red lipstick. I put my gold hoop earrings in then got my bag and my phone. I headed downstairs and saw my mom making breakfast.

"Morning mommy!" I yelled giving her a hug.

"Morning sweetie. You looking good today!" She said looking at me.

"Thank you." I said. I felt my phone vibrate and I looked at the message I got.

Jaayvon♡: Morning Kayla :)

Me: Morning :)

Jaayvon♡: Wassup ma?

Me: Nun much. Just here.

Jaayvon♡: Imma be there in 15 mins

Me: Okay :)

"Did Javon text you again?" Mom asked with a smile.

"Yeah. He's gonna give me a ride to school. So Imma be outside."

"What about breakfast?"

"Im not hungry." I said.

"Okay Kayla. Have a good day." She said. I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and headed out the door. I sat on the porch until I saw a Black Chrysler pull up. Soon I saw Javon come out and waved. He walked around and opened the door for me. I walked up to him and gave him a hug.

"Morning Javon." I said.

"You lookin good ma." He said. I smiled and got into his car and he walked around to the other side and in as well. "You want breakfast or something?"

"Sure." I said. He started the car and drove off. This guy was hot. Defined face, had a caramel skin tone. Just amazing. I actually couldn't stop staring.

"See something you like?" He said. I smiled and looked out the window. He chuckled and turned the radio. Report Card started playing. This was my song until now. SouljaBoy was my guy.

"Soulja boy chillin dawg check out my report, looked at it all Fs, took it to the teacher dis Throw some Ds on it! I just got my report card, throw some Ds on it! I just got my report card AYE!!!" I said rapping along. Javon started laughing at me. "Why are you laughing?"

"Cause you funny." He said parking at Mcdonalds. "Whatchu want?"

"Breakfast Burrito and an apple juice would be good." I said.

"Aiight." He said getting out the car. I felt my phone vibrate and I took it out and saw that my bestie was calling me.

"Stephanie!" I answered.

"I see how you be! Not even a call in two months? You dont like me no more? You got yourself new friends that you dumped me?" She said pretending to cry.

"Aww boo! You know thats not true. Im sorry I haven't called. Ive just been caught up in school work."

"I guess I can forgive you. So tell me what happening bitch."

"Well, guess what?"

"You pregnant?? Oh my gosh Kayla!!"

"b***h f**k no!"

"Then what is it?"

"I think I like a guy up here." I said. She started screaming.

"Finally!! What he look like?"

"He is hot! Like everything I wanted." I said.

"You gotta send me a pic." She said as I saw him coming back to the car

"Aiight I will. But I gotta go now. He coming back with my breakfast." I said.

"Damn girl! He buying you food? Thats serious!"

"Stephanie bye!" I said laughing.

"Bye bye!" She said. I hung up just as Javon came in.

"Here you go." He said handing me the bag.

"Thanks. I can pay you-"

"No."

"But you didn't-"

"I wanted too." He said.

"Aww okay." I said. I took out my stuff and his. He started the car and we headed off to school. We got there within ten minutes and everyone was outside their cars. I felt so left out. I needed a car for myself. "Thanks for the ride."

"Dont mention it. Imma be your ride okay?" He said with a smile.

"You're so sweet." I said. He kissed my cheek and got out the car. I got out as well but I couldn't stop smiling. We met up with the others and Dreanne looked at me with smile as well.

"She came out the car smiling guys." Dreanne said. I could feel my face getting hot. Jordan looked at me funny but I didn't pay attention to him. I look at Javon and he was just smiling at me.

"You guys are actually so terrible. Making the poor girl blush." Andrew said giving me a hug. "But did y'all f**k?"

"You're one to talk! Bout did we f**k!" I yelled while pushing him off and making everyone laugh. I shook my head at them and headed towards the school. I walked to my locker and started getting ready for class.

"Hey." I turned around and saw Javon standing there. I just loved how he was always around me. I smiled and continued to get my things out for my class. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and I looked up at him. He was slowly breathing on my neck.

"What are you doing?" I asked shyly since I really didn't know.

"I have a secret." He said. I laughed.

"Which is?" I asked while closing my locker and looking at him. I had to look up at since since I was like 5'7 and he was probably 6'1.

"I like you. A lot." He said.

"I like you too." I said.

"Nah. I mean I like you." He said. He slipped his fingers between mine. "I want you to be mine. My girl you know." I looked at him.

"Really?" I asked. He leaned down and kiss my lips.

"Yeah. So what do you say? Wanna be my girlfriend?"

"Yes I will." I said. He smiled and kissed me. I started giggling and he pulled away.

"I get to do that whenever I want." He said smirking at me. I laughed and playfully punched him. I had a boyfriend but in my mind an official boyfriend isn't until three months. Thats when I know that he's gonna be with me for awhile. I grabbed my books for class and we walked to his locker hand in hand. Everyone was there waiting on us so we could get to class. Dreanne had a big ass smile on her face and I couldn't help but to smile.

"Its about time you guys got together." Dreanne said. I notice that Jordan was giving me a look and so was Leah.

"I know right?" Javon said. "Lets get to class." He said. We all agreed and headed to Chemistry Class.

Jordan POV

I was mad now. How could Makayla go with Javon. She was suppose to be my girl since grade school. I looked at Leah and she sighed.

"Well its too late. She's with him. You waited too long." She said as we sat down in our seats.

"This isn't my fault."

"It is. You've blown her off so many times because of the stupid thug s**t you do." She said harshly. "I should tell her that you love her and you've been loving her. And I should tell her what you do. Even though you promised her you wouldn't after your dad died because he lived the thug life."

"Girl, Ill sell you out right now because of the same thug s**t you do. Yeah, Ill tell Kayla what you've been doing when you tell her you cant hangout. Oh and Ill tell your daddy and you know he'll beat your ass."

"Niggah you wouldn't."

"b***h I would." I said trying not to laugh. But sadly we started laughing.

"Fine. I wont say anything."

"Good. I know what Imma do about this."

"What?" Leah asked me.

"Ill tell you when I need you." I said. She pouted and opened her textbook. I looked at Makayla and Javon all close together. I personally never liked Javon. I just tolerated him because he was Leah's cousin. Plus, he was always tryna run my business. Yeah all of us were apart of DNRT (Dope Niggah Run Things). And Javon would be lazing around and gets his share which I personally didn't agree with. I just watched as they did their work together. I wanted Makayla for the longest time. And she will be mine. I felt my phone vibrate indicating I just got a message. I took it out and looked at it.

DNRT: Imma need all y'all to come to the Trap house ASAP! Y'all excused from class. Get here NOW

"May Andrew Kingston, Leah Davis, Dre and Dreanne Bentley, Javon Richards, and Jordan Williams please report to the office." The P.A. said.

"Lets go." Leah said packing up her things. I packed up my things as well and headed out the class.

"I wonder what's going on now." Dreanne said. We walked into the office, got an excuse pass and headed out to our cars.

(At the Trap House)

"Where the f**k Javon at!" Boss yelled at us. This is what I meant. He was always late but still got his cut of the cash.

"Ion know. He was-"

"Sorry Boss!" Javon yelled while running in.

"Again man? If this happens one more time-"

"Yeah yeah, I get it." Jovan said.

"So what is it this time?" Leah asked.

"I need you guys to take out a couple people." He said sounding really nervous.

"Who?" Andrew asked.

"N.I.C" He said.

"WHAT!!" We all yelled at the same time.

"I know guys, I know." Boss said.

"How the f**k you want us to take them out!" Dre said.

"Thats like thirty people!" I yelled.

"Guys-"

"You want us dead too!" Andrew yelled.

"Guys-"

"Boss we f*****g teenagers! We cant take out-"

"GUYS! Stop actin like f*****g ass p*ssies and do what I tell you to do! You got it!" Boss yelled at us. We al sighed and nodded. See, N.I.C was the biggest and baddest crew in Detroit. And we was their, I guess you could say enemies. A whole bunch of Ricky's (Boss) people were killed by them. Now I was thinking that he wanted us killed.

"Boss, really? You really want us?" Dreanne asked.

"Look, I got faith in y'all. Imma be honest, since I found you guys, you've made this game a piece of cake. I know you guys can do this. There's no time limit. I just need you guys to get them out. They causing s**t in the streets and its dangerous." He said choking up.

"You okay Boss?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just do it." He said. "You know what they look like, you know where they hangout, and where their trap house is. I need everything they got in there and them out the world." He said. We nodded and headed out. We got into our cars and drove back to school. It was eleven forty five which was lunch at school. As I parked the car in the parking lot, I saw Makayla walking around. I got out and watched as she walked over to me.

"Hey girl." I said.

"Hey. Can we talk?" She asked.

"Sure. Wassup?"

"We haven't spent anytime together. Like I wanna hang out with my Jordy." She said playfully punching me.

"I know. Ive just been a bit busy."

"With what?"

"Family stuff." I lied.

"Oh okay. Well when your free let me know." She said sounding as if she was in a rush.

"Aye, where you off too?"

"Javon's taking me out for lunch." She said with a smile. "Oh, there he is." She said running off. I looked at her get inside and drive away with Javon. I needed to do something about this. I could take care of Javon but that would come later. I needed someone to deal with Makayla. I wasn't trying to be mean to her, I just needed a way to get her to dislike Javon. Thats when I got the idea. I knew exactly what to do and who would be perfect to do it.
