EXCUSE ERRORS :)

how i picture Raven -------------------->>>>>>>>>>>

-Raquel-

Before i knew anything , it was Thursday . Thursday's mean basketball practice and since this is the last Thursday of the school year , it means we just go over every play that we've ran this year . It feels kind of good to get up and know that i barely have anything on the agenda . Basketball practice , then i tutor a group or Freshman at 5 o'clock which is a piece of cake in my book . Though i might not like school , good grades have always came easy to me . It's something about the material we learn that just always clicks in my head : unlike with my friends who have a half empty skull when it comes to school 

I personally want to be a basketball player . Now i know every boy in the hood , or almost in any neighborhood for that matter , claims that they have the correct skills for the game . But oh , i do ! Basketball is another thing that comes easy to me , plus the hours of practice i've put in every week for 4 years in high school must mean something . My jumper is flawless , can't no science book teach me how to do a fade-away . If they could , alot more niggas would be in school instead of in the streets . But if i never make it to the NBA then i guess i'll have to settle for being a vet. When i say i want to be a veterinarian to help all the sick animals people look at me in disbelief , like i'm a fucking liar . But truth is , i love animals . . . . Especially dogs : Pitbulls to be exact .

A long shower greeted me on this morning . I know i never have time for it but i didn't give a damn if i was late . We've only got 2 more school days left ! I mean really , what can they do . Put a nigga in detention and he won't show , it's that simple !

I dressed in a white v-neck polo shirt , tan cargo shorts , My Nike slide-ins and a white Polo snap-back hat . I put a small diamond earring in each ear and called it a day . My book bag got overlooked purposefully as i left my room . 

I could hear Raven and Dante in the living room laughing and carrying on about something .

Over the past 3 days i've soft-of come to terms with my feelings for Dante . I can run from the things i feel for him all i want to but what i can't do is hide from the love i feel for him . Whenever i see him , my feelings attack my heart and constantly scream at me to tell him how i feel . Every bone in my body get's weak whenever he touches me , i can feel him inside of soul . It sounds , stupid ; but the feelings are defiantly real . I can't deny that . 

I plopped down on the floor in front of the couch where they were sitting . It seems like i've been doing that alot lately , due to the fact that they always take up the couch , stretching out just so i can't sit down . 

I clocked that they both still had on pajamas . 

" shouldn't you two be dressed by now ?" I asked skeptically .

" nope ." Raven sung . " no more school ! It's closed because press conferences or something else irrelevant to me ."

I cracked a smile and kicked at her feet " and why are you so happy ?"

She looked up at me like i was crazy " no fucking school for 3  months ! I would run outside and scream it but it's hot beyond what i can stand out there ."

" Oh yeah ? And what about you Dante ? You just cheesin' away ." 

Dante gave me the same stupid grin that had been plastered on his face since i walked in " i don't know ." He mumbled . 

" tell me ."

" nope ."

" tell me ."

He rolled his eyes defiantly " I'll tell you when heaven and hell make peace which is never ."

I glanced at Raven " will you tell me what this fool is smiling about ?"

" i'm not a fool ! Just slightly not smart ."

Me and Raven erupted in laughter at the innocent look on his face . He looked so damn cute with his eyes all big and his dimples sunken deep into his cheeks . 

Once i was finally able to get my laughter under control i smiled at him " you right babe , just slightly not smart ." The room fell silent , both Raven and Dante looking at me with shock , like i'd said something wrong . I pulled off my hat and scratched my head while looking back and forth between them . " are ya'll okay ? Or did you see something i didn't see ?"

Raven shifted her eyes " um . . "

" did somebody fart ?" I yelled with amusement in my voice . 

That got them back to normal but i couldn't shake the look from my head that was on their faces . They were looking at me like i grew a extra nose and got Cross-eyed right there . I didn't like it . 

I wonder what that was about . 

" so , " i continued " is somebody going to tell me why Dante is looking like he is ?"

" he has a date !" Raven blurted out . 

This time it was my turn to stop in my tracks . 

Date . . . 

A date usually means the name of the month , followed by the number of the month , and after a comma is the year . That's what the fuck a date is . Or it's when 2 people get together to get to know each other on a deeper level , in which case somebody is going to get fucked up if i find out that's what Raven is talked about . 

My curiousity on the situation quickly turned into rage . 

A fucking date . Can you believe this ? Because i can't . I never even knew there were any more gay men around here with enough balls to step out of the closet , let alone date somebody that belongs to me . As possessive as it may sounds , when you love somebody , you'll do almost anything to keep them to yourself . 

Instead of showing how mad i am , i smiled and convinced myself that it isn't as bad an idea as it may seem . 

Raven sighed in relief " for a minute i thought you were going to kill Dante ."

" and why would i do that ?"

" well , because , you know . You and him -"

I stood up and leaned down closer to her ear , more and more anger pumping into my veins . I might like Dante , but that doesn't give her the right to . . .shit , i don't know . I'm just angry . Can't i be angry  ?!

I clinched my jaw " ain't shit between me and him ; remember that ."

I stomped from the room and out the front door of the house , straight into the summer heat .

-Dante-

I sunk down into the couch " he is going to fucking hate me ." I mumbled . Because , it's true , it has to be true . He'll hate me now and then when he finds out that this whole date thing is fake , he'll hate me even more for lying to him . Shit , shit , shit . Why do i ever listen to Raven's single ass ? Sure , she is beautiful enough to have boys following behind her most of the time but she turns them all down ; so no matter how beautiful she is she's still SINGLE . And after this , i'm going to be single for a life time . 

Raven nugged me " what's wrong with you ?"

" you think it'll work ?"

" are you kidding me ? Did you see his face when i say you were going on a date ?"

" actually , no , i was covering my eyes ."

She sighed " he looked like he was about to tear some shit up . Of course it'll work . I know my brother and i know it's only a matter or time before he cracks and spills all his feelings to either me or you . And when that happen , you guys can live happily ever after ."

Maybe she's right . Though i've never understood why girls play so many games , maybe this can actually work . She's knows Raquel better than anybody . Hopefully she doesn't screw up what's between me and Raquel even more , whater is between us . 

" ice cream !" Raven shouted .

I followed her into the kitchen and watched as she dug into a container or ice cream . She even asked did i want some , maybe forgetting the fact that icecream makes me puke my guts out . I denied her in he rudest way possible and watched her continue to stuff her face . 

For her size , she eats liie a pig .
