The Thug Life


Chapter 1

Short Chapter

It was July 16, 6:30pm, me and my home boys were hanging at my man Mario's house in Atlanta, Georgia. Right now its me, Keith, Mario, Andre, Tyrone, and Deondre.

"Eh, ya'll niggas ready for August 7th", said Mario.

"Hell yeah, first year of highschool", said Tyrone,"I just want the girls."

Out of the group, the hardest was Tyrone, he was 15, and as we all new sold drugs, and all ways were with highschoolers.

"Why you so quiet Keith", said Tyrone.

"Nothin' just thinkin'", I said,"eh yall, um finna go, check up on my grandma."

"I'll ride witcha too", said Andre.

Andre was my homeboy since middle school. We were together almost all the time, and even after were almost about to fight each other, we still came back as homeboys.

Andre and I got our bikes and rode home. Andre lived a block away from me.

"You sure you alright", said Andre.

"Yeah man, I just can't believe she's gone, ma", I said.

When i got home grandma was sleep, I went to my room and started writing in my notebook.


To my mom-

I still can't believe you gone

thinkin' bout yo love while ridin' home

even though I use to hate every time you fussed

I hope you know'd I still love'd ya

and how can a dad leave the girl that chu met

seein' my face you gotta feel regret

why ya didn't show up in the last hour

but I do know you were one big coward.........you are appreciated



It was 7:30, after writing I went to my grandma bedroom. I touched her on the shoulder

"What, what her aging voice wailed", said Grandma.

"Just seein' if you alright", I said.

Afterwards I watched T.V., I was tired.
