BLEEP BLEEP! Kel's clock said as it went off at 6:30 AM. "Damn, another monday already?" He was out of the bed by 6:38. "HONEY GET UP YOU SLEPT I- Oh," his mother, Dianna panicked as she thought her son slept in. Kel had on his Orange Chuck taylors, his levi skinny jeans, and his striped orange polo. "hi mother, good day isn't it?" Kel asked his mom."indeed, honey, oh yeah, i have some left over chicken if you want that," Kel's mom said "its fine mom, i have to get to the bus!" Kel said as he grabbed his blue backpack and darted for the door. "and before you go, dont let any of those Compton Crip motherfuckas get to you okay?" His mother demanded. "Yes mom," Kel said as he opened the door and went down Compton Avenue

"Fuck man, ain't no telling what's going on in this time of morning" Kel thought in his head. He saw Big C on his way to the bus shooting dice with other crips on the sidewalk. "yeah Damon boy, gimme that 20," C said to a fellow crip. "Ight, y'all I gotta go," Big C said as he spotted Kel. "What up my man Kel-lay!" Big C said as he gave dap to Kel. "So you trying to shoot some die and get high after school?" He asked. "Nah man I'm not into that, trying to get my education, stay in school and shit man." Kel answered. "It's cool. Hey bro you got a 20?" Big C asked. "Nigga, I just saw you gamble a twenty, bro!" Kel exclaimed with attitude. "Haha, just kiddin' mr salty tude," Big C said as he took it as a joke. They talked some more until they approached the bus stop. They saw Natalie under a tree spraying her hair. "Step back, cool dog," Big C said as he walked up to Natalie with his chest out. "Wassup bae, you trying to gimmie that number?" Craig get off me! Damn you stink like weed!" Natalie said as she walked over to her group.

Kel sat on the curb studying for Biology and Math CPA as Big C talked with his friend and Natalie talked with her friends. Kel felt like he didn't belong after Christmas break, as he applied himself more and more to school and get an education. The bus honked to let the students know it was close by. Everyone lined up at the bus stop as it stopped. Kel, Big C, and Natalie got on. Big C and Kel went to the back, what they did not notice is that they sat across from Paul Stokes. A Caucasian male who was inclined with a racist group of friends at Compton High School he tapped on his friend's shoulder and whispered in his ear. They sat in silence for a moment. "Sorry for taking your seat nig," Paul said with a small grin. "Aye man, don't be slang in that word, dawg," Kel replied with anger. "I'm not your dog you are my dog, nigger," Paul said. Big C heard the N word and he turned off his portable CD player. "Dawg get the fuck up man," Big C asked politely. "Don't be starting no fi-" Kel said as he was cut off by "GET UP NIGGA!" Big C said, scaring Kel out of the seat. "Spitting that shit huh?" Big C asked rhetorically. "GET UP NIGGA BEFORE I OPEN UP A CAN OF KILL ASS ON YOU!" Big C said exasperated. The bus sat in silence while everybody was looking at Craig, even the bus driver was interested as he know that Big C Gangbangs.

"Okay Big Nigger si-" Paul said as Big C took off his chain, watch, and long sleeve dark blue shirt revealing his muscle. He started punching Paul in the face repeatedly, He hit him with a right cross and then picked him up by his white collar polo shirt and uppercutted him. Knocking him out cold. "BE RACIST MOTHERFUCKER YOU JUST GON HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE BLACK HANDS MOTHERFUCKER!" Kel grabbed Big C and held him back. it was like that for the rest of the ride. By the time they arrived at the high school Big C was calm and clothed but Paul was severely unconscious still. Big C, Natalie and Kel were walking to class together. "Craig, why were you throwing hands back there?" Natalie asked "I guess I overreacted, he is being hauled to the hospital," Big C answered. "Ya think?" Kel chimed in. "Ight guys, duces," Kel said as he entered his class.
