GET, GET, GET IT! CRAIG SAYS HELLO DAUGHTER.
Â
YO STATUZ IZ SWEET! HAV FUN. CALL ME L8TRZ
Santana rolled her eyes and the windows down. She wasnât having fun; she was bored and much too fly to be waiting on a dude. Didnât he know that by now? Sticking her head out, she surveyed the block, saw that it was relatively empty, wrapped her hand around the handle, and opened the passenger door.
âOh so yâall in love! Ainât that sweet!â A girlâs voice called out from the driverâs side before Santana could put her foot on the ground.
Santana whipped her face around and saw a car full of hoodrats and chickenhead girls packed like sardines in a raggedy excuse for a car. One of them stood out from the rest, the one with the biggest mouth and attitude. Nae.
âOh, our boyfriend got you mad?â Nae mocked in a toddler voice. âWhat happened, you still acting like you too good to go all the way, and now heâs actinâ up?â
Fire shot though Santanaâs veins. âYou know what, Nae? You can go âhead wit all that. You know you donât want none of this. Donât try to act all bad cuz you got company. My boyfriend is just that, mine .â
The girls in the car laughed, egging Nae on. âBet next time you wonât be Facebooking all yo bizness. Bet you didnât realize your picture showed what skreet you on!â
âGet her, Nae.... We ainât bring you here just to talk.â
Nae chimed right in. âWell your boyfriend was mines last night. And I was so, so good to him. Do he tell you dat too? Dat you good to him? Do this sound familiar: âOh, oh, I canât believe I slept on you. I shoulda got wit you a long time ago, shawty,â â Nae said, deepening her voice to sound like Pharaoh.
That was it. Santana had had enough of backstabbing Nae. She took off her earrings, adjusted her rings to face forward so they could dig into Naeâs skin when she punched her in the face, and hopped out of the car. Naeâs butt kicking was long overdue, and Santana was the one to hand it to her.
Theyâd been friends once, or at least thatâs what Santana had believed until she got with Pharaoh. After that, Nae had started tripping, acting envious, and âaccidentallyâ telling Pharaoh about boys Santana talked to when he wasnât around, but never telling him that Santana always kicked down their advances. Then Naeâs envy turned to jealousy, and she no longer just desired to have things like Santanaâs, she wanted what Santana hadâincluding Pharaoh. But sheâd have to take him if she wanted him, and it wouldnât be easy. Santana could brawl with the best of them, and Nae wasnât even close to best or any word starting with a B but one, and it ended in itchâexactly what the wounds Santana planned to inflict on Nae would feel like once they started to heal.
Santana began to walk around the back of Pharaohâs car, and suddenly the street began to fill with hoodlums. She didnât know if Nae had called people ahead of time to tell them what was getting ready to go down or what, but she didnât care. She wasnât the one whose skin and behind were going to need a spatula to be scraped up off the street.
âCome on, Nae. You brought it, now bring it. Get out the car!â she dared her, banging on the trunk of the chickenhead-mobile Nae was in. âCome on! Iâm inviting you to get that azz whooped.â
âMan, I got twenty bones on Santana!â Some dude with jeans sagging off his butt and dirty, dusty boxers showing said, walking up to some guys while counting money.
âIâll match that,â another agreed. âShawty go to skool with my brutha, and she be mopping hallways with headsâboyâs heads at dat!â
A boy with long, red dreadlocks countered. âBwoy, please. Me tinks me put me money on de undah-dog. Dat der gal
