me daddy boy bye not with them shoes on anyways it’s the last period of the day and so far it’s my favorite cause Dev.’s in here I keep catching him looking at me from time to time but I’m not here to date I’m here to get in and get out I
don’t have time for any more games and I learned that the hard way just the thought of the past give me chills and then the same thoughts come to mind. What if he finds me? What if he’s here right now? Stop it Angie he’s not here there’s no way he knows you’re here I try to slow my breathing but the same thought keep running through my mind finally the bell rings as I stand up a girl comes up to the table I’m sitting at.

“Can I help you”? I say not really impressed by her fronting

“I have one question for you.”

“And what’s that” I say putting my stuff in my bag

“Do you have a thing for my man?” she says shifting her wait to one side and planting her hand on her hip.

“And who might that be?” I say cocking an eyebrow

“Don’t try and play me I’m talking about Dev.”

“Pshh girl please I just got here I barely know him and if he’s your man you might wanna get him on lock.” I say with just as much attitude she gave me

“Hey Angie.” I hear Dev say behind me.

“So uh Dev when was you going to tell me you have a girl.” I say turning my irritation on him it’s always the same with dude they make you like them but then have a girl but who cares I wasn’t feelin him that much anyways.

“As soon as I got o-“ he stops cause I’m guessing he caught sight of this chick who’s in my face he sighs but I don’t stay to hear his excuses I turn toss my hair back and walk out the room I don’t have time for games. I hear him call my name but I’m gone. DEVS P.O.V


I look at Tina and I know she knows I’m mad Tina is a recent ex of mine who can’t seem to understand the our relationship is over part I tried calling Angie back to explain but she was already gone and by the way her face looked she didn’t want to hear a word I have to say. As I try to control my rage I turn my attention on Tina

“Tina how many times do I have to tell you that you’re not my girl?” I say trying to keep from yelling

“Oh come on baby you know you don’t mean that we’ll always be together forever.” She says while wrapping herself around me

“Yes I do Tina we’re done it’s been over for a little while now.” I say pushing her away
She tries to wrap herself around me again but I keep pushing her away she stops and I can tell she’s furious

“What does she have that I don’t?”

“What are you talking about? “

“Don’t play with me I see the way you look at her”

“Tina I just met her know what I don’t need to explain myself to you the point is. Is that we’re done” I brush past her leaving her to cope with her own insecurities my main focus was trying to get another chance with Angie I run out to the parking lot just in time to see her get in her car and speed off ugh this is going to be a lot more complicated than I thought. So I push all thoughts of her out of my head for now and get in my car first stop my job after school I work part time at a restaurant bussing tables it’s not much but it’s all I have for right now my second job is on the weekends I work in a mechanics shop if it wasn’t for music cars would be my first love by the time I clock in its 3:00 and its busy and immediately I’m called by my boss into the back of the kitchen

“Your late.” My boss is such an ass sometimes I’m supposed to be here at 3:00 but every day I get here at 3:05 apparently.

“As usual.” I grumble underneath my breath.
“listen I know how hard it is for you I really do but you need to be here on time or I have to let you go and that’s not something I want to do.” She says in her fake pity voice ugh this bitch

“Sure can I get to work now?”

“Yes you may go.”
When I turn my back I roll my eyes and leave is all females trippin today but at this point I don’t really care I have one thing to do and one thing only… WORK. I go into the kitchen and put on the quote on quote apron she makes us wear I grab a bucket and head out into the lounge I pick up the cups and wipe down the tables who knew that people could be such nasty eaters on my first week on this job I almost hurled even thinking about it make me wanna GAG!. But you take what you can get when I finish the first table I put in my headphones and go back to work the good thing about this job is that time flies.

“Are You Dev.?” Asks this tall guy in a navy blue leather jacket he wasn’t that that tall but he was a good size.

“Who’s askin.” I say kind of defensively.

“Chill dawg I’m just lookin for someone.”

“Who?”

“A girl her name Angie ring any bells.”
Now this dude looks like someone you shouldn’t lie too but he was shady and I didn’t want him around Angie even though I barley know her

“Naww man I don’t know her.” I say.

“Aight my dude guess I’ll see you later”

He walked away kind slow as if he were waiting for me to tell him something but I aint no snitch and something told me that he was just bad news.

ANGIE P.O.V


I watched him leave and waited just to be sure he wasn’t coming back thankfully he didn’t see me or get into the apartment and that I was grateful for I waited a little longer just to make sure when I was sure he wasn’t coming back I got out of the car still kind of edgy when I made it to the door I hurried inside and locked the doors I felt a little relief but I was still on edge I heard my stomach and let it decide on what my dinner will be I live in this apartment alone its sometimes lonely but I survive my mom was around for some of my life but then she found her new boyfriend and they took their crack love to the streets so it was just me when I turned 17 I was out on my own I have to do what’s best for me but last year I got into something’s with certain people and now I’m paying the consequences for it so now I’m here I scrimmage through the cubards for something to eat and i settle for ravioli i while it's cooking in the pot i go through my mail open up a letter that gives me my schedual and when i start i sigh with relief i put my ravioli in a bowl and sit on the floor and turn on my Xbox and play Black Ops 2 i stay up and play for about 2 hours then i head to my room and start my homework its not to hard but i still dont want to do it and when my phone rings im glad for the distraction i look at my phne and its a unknown number but i answer it anyways

"Hello."

"Hey is this Angie."

"Yes."

"oh Well this is johnny."

"how did you get my number."

"Dont worry about it. anyways im calling to give you Devs number so write it down."

"im so confused but okay." i write down the number and he hangs up before i can say anythingi shake my head put my books away change and go to bed i hope Dev didnt actually think i was going to call him when he has a girlfriend i lay down and fall asleep it takes awhile for sleep to come but it does.
