Riley froze in place and sighed "damn..."

"Reezy what are you 18 or 5, why you still torturin Santa?"

Riley let out a sigh and turned around to find his best friend, Cindy Mcphearson.

"Cuz it's been years and dat nigga stall aint pay what he owe." Cindy shook her head and walked up to Riley as they both glanced at the scene behind them.

The mall Santa had cleared most of his face off as mall security were gathered around asking questions. Riley and Cindy both looked at each other and without a word quickly ran off from the center display.

They sat down at Riley's table in the food court before Riley began laughing his ass off. " You should have seen it C, nigga's was runnin and screamin everywhere soon as my paint grenade went off."

Cindy scoffed and leaned back in her chair stealing Riley's burger that he had left. "Please Reezy I did see it, aint nothin impressive."

Riley scowled at her, Cindy always had a way of stealing his thunder or brushing off anything he did like it was a child's game, and to Cindy that's all it was.

"Gurl please you just jealous cuz you cant come up with somthin like dat."

Cindy let out a giggle which got Riley's attention as he raised an eyebrow at her. "Nigga hush, besides I didnt come down here just to watch you pour paint on some fat old white guy." Riley sighed leaning back like Cindy had. "Then why did you bother a nigga when he tryin to have fun?"

"Cuz I felt like stealin your food." She smirked hinting to the burger as she took the last bite. "Plus I figure Alex dont need more of yo shit in his store."

Riley snickered at the thought of Alex's face going pale like it did everyday Riley came into the store to visit Cindy.

She noticed the bag at his side from the sports store. "aye whats dat Riley?" Riley turned his head to Cindy away from the crowd hearing her use his actual name and he looked down at the bag. "Nuttin just somthin I had to pick up."

"Oh yea, who for?" Riley smiled as he moved the bag towards Cindy. "Why do you care, you think its for you nigga?" Cindy's cheeks were tinted a light pink as she narrowed her eyes. "Please, I just like bein nosy." Riley shurgged and snatched the bag right before Cindy could take it and laughed. "Its sumthin Jasmine and my hatin ass brother made me get for christmas."

Cindy raised an eyebrow at Riely. "So you harass a white guy every year cuz he wont "pay what he owe", but you buy gifts now, damn Reezy you getting soft."

Riley's cheeks burned as he put the bag on the floor. "Shuddup! I aint doin it cuz I want to, im doin it cuz Huey's gonna kick my ass anyway."

She laughed and sat back up putting her chair down on all four legs. "So now your actually scared of yo brother?"

Riley was getting angrier as his cheeks turned red and he looked away from her. "Whateva nigga..."

Cindy smiled and hit Riley on the arm. "Aw come on Riley don't be like dat, I'm just playin witchu."

He let out a scoff before looking back at her "So whatchu get me for christmas?" Cindy raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Nigga who said I got you anything?" Riley smirked and held his bag up." Well I was gonna give dis to a certain someone but if she didnt get me anythin I guess I can just toss it." He motioned to the trash can behind him as Cindy narrowed her eyes.

"Aight aight fine, yea I gotchu somthin." Riley laughed in victory before setting the bag down. "Oh yea, what is it?"

"Boy I aint tellin you, you gonna wait like everyone else does." Her smirk made Riley abit angry again as he got up from the table.

"Whateva hoe, go back to work." He smiled at her as she hit him in the arm again leaving a bruise this time.

"im goin, imma text you once my shift is over." Once Cindy was out of view Riley winced and rubbed the spot on his arm. "Damn dat girl is abusive.." He grabbed the bag and walked towards the front of the mall to leave, he was almost to the doors before Jasmine's voice screeched into his ears.

"Riiiiley! wait up!" Riley sighed and lowered his damn. "Damn I was so close..."

Jasmine and Huey caught up to Riley as she smiled up at him. "Hey did you get Cindy's gift."

Riley held up the bag so she could see it." Whatchu think ho- OUCH! Damn Huey what da hell?"

Huey glared at his brother." I told you not to call her a "hoe" Riley." "Aight damn you dont gotta be hittin a nigga." He rubbed his already sore arm before Jasmine snagged the bag away from him and took out the jersey, she began to read it and smiled widely before hugging Riley." Awwww Riley this is perfect!"

Riley took it back as a light blushed cross his face. "You think I don't know dat? Afterall its a gift from Reezy aint it?" Huey shook his head at his brother's arrogance as he took Jasmine's hand leading her out the door with Riley following.

He grabbed the keys from his pocket before looking at the couple. "You niggas want a ride home?"

"No we brought Tom's car, besides we have a few places to stop besides Grandads."

Riley just shrugged his mind starting to wander away from his annoying brother and Jasmine. "Aight whateva, later niggas." He took off for Dorathy and got inside starting it up. He began to pull out before another car cut him off and Riley blared the horn." HEY! Nigga I know yo dumbass aint cuttin me off!"

A large man leaned out the window to yell at Riley." Nigga who you talkin to? Get out da way before I kick yo skinny ass kid!" Before Riley knew why he was already out of Dorathy and had the large man by the collar. "Whatchu you say? You wanna go nigga?" The other driver shoved Riley away before opening his door, before he could fully get out Riley slammed it shut again with his foot, catching the man's ankle. With a loud yelp he fell to the ground already in tears as Riley stood over him snickering.

"Nigga look at you, all big and shit and you just go yo ass kicked by some "skinny assed" kid." Riley gave the man one last kick to the side before getting back in Dorathy and driving away as he saw a few mall cops gathered around the man which only made Riley laugh harder. Halfway home he got a text from Huey.

"What was all that about, Jasmine and I saw you and some fat guy fighting."

"Nigga that wasnt no fight, I made his bitch ass cry with one shot, just call it a Nigga Moment."

Riley checked his phone again as he arrived back at the Freeman house. "Don't do it again, we don't need anymore nigger moments after what happened with Stinkmeaner."

He began to chuckle remembering everything that happened after Grandad had killed Stinkmeaner in a street fight a few years ago. "Yea yea whateva, not my fault anyway his fat ass started it."

"Just don't do it again Riley, its Christmas, I may hate it myself but don't ruin this time of year for Jasmine and Cindy by creating more unnecessary bullshit..." Riley quit reading the text and went inside the house taking Grandad's orange juice to the fridge.

Riley walked into the living room and set down grabbing the remote realizing the house was completely silent. "Grandad, where you at...?" He waited a few seconds but got no response, he got up and took a look around the house then smiled stopping at the top of the stairs. "Hell yea! Grandads gone, got this shit all to myself." Riley jumped over the railing and went back into the living room flopping down on the couch before turning the TV on.

He grabbed his phone and sent a text to Cindy. "Get yo ass over here, got da whole house to myself."

"Aight be over in like five minutes."

While he waited Riley got off the couch and grabbed a few cans of Monster from the fridge and whatever junk food he could find, recently Grandad had been on a health kick so Riley had to be creative about hiding all his food.

Fifteen minutes later Cindy finally walked into the Freeman house and caleld out to Riley. "Nigga where you at?"

She kicked off her shoes before hearing his voice. " In da living room, what da hell took yo ass so long to get here?"

"Some punk ass kids thought it'd be funny to tag my house so I had to run em off." Cindy made a motion like she was swining a bat and Riley busted up laughing.

"C dont tell me you bustin some 10 year olds head." He looked over at her as she sat down in Grandad's chair

"Nah this nigga was atleast 16, that nigga had the balls to hit on me too like nothin had happened."

Riley's head snapped up as he raised an eyebrow. "Whatchu say?"

"You heard me nigga, this kid goes from cryin like a bitch for me not to murder him to askin me out."

Riley couldn't figure out why but he suddenly felt angry, he bawled his left hand into a fist out of Cindy's view. "Who was dis kid?"

Cindy shrugged and stole one of Riley's Monsters. "Hell if I know, his tag said 'Mimic'."

Riley got his phone and sent a quick text to Huey. "Yo nigga, can you find out bout someone who tags the name 'Mimic"?"

"That's a stupid question Riley, why?"

"Cuz nigga just do it." Riley didn't bother to check his brother's reply as he put his head back down turning his attention to the TV. Every few minutes he stole a glance at Cindy, she was dressed in a black tank-top and a pair of dark blue basketball shorts, but for some reason Riley couldn't stop looking at her. It wasn't any different from her usual attire but to Riley she looked good, not good, but hot. He shook his head and tried to stop staring at her as she got up from the chair.

"Girl whatchu doin I cant see da TV."

Cindy smirked and tossed him one of the controllers to the PS3. "Nigga hush, this shit is borin id rather watch you suck at Black Ops."

Riley sat up and narrowed his eyes. "who you talkin to? Shoot I make niggas run."

Cindy giggled which threw Riley off as she sat down beside him with a controller. "Oh yeah? Prove it Reezy." She started up the game and got them both online as Riley leaned back into the couch.

"Aight fine but how bout we make it interestin?" Cindy raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"Depends, whatchu got in mind?"

"How bout whoever has da least kills has to..." Riley looked around the living room and a picture of his brother caught his eye as an evil smirk crossed his lips." Aight whoever loses, has to call up my brother and tell him dat they kidnapped Jasmine."

Cindy's mouth fell open as she looked at Riley. "Nigga are you crazy? Yo brother is some kidna crazy ninja he'd kill both our asses."

Riley snickered as he turned back to the game as it started. "Whats wrong Cindy you scared or somthin that imma whoop yo ass?"

Cindy narrowed here eyes and and began to play as she killed Riley within the first ten seconds and smiled. "Hurry up Reezy you fallin behind."

After only ten minutes into the game Riley was sweating, Cindy was ahead of him in points and he didn't want to be the one to play their little trick on Huey.

Cindy had a big smile on her face knowing the same. "Come on Reezy you need to pick up yo game or you gonna be da one making dat call."

"Shuddup I aint even playin for real yet!" Riley's grip on his controller tightened as he played.

With barely one minute until the game timed out Riley began to catch up with Cindy but right before the game ended Cindy scored one more kill on Riley from behind, Riley's face dropped right as the 'Gamer Over' voice played and Cindy dropped her controller and shot off the couch doing a celebratory booty dance.

"Nigga that aint fair! I had dat game! You cheated!"

Cindy just laughed and sat back down on the couch and smiled at him. "Nigga I aint cheatin, now you lost time to pay up." She jabbed Riley in the side with his cell phone."

Riley sighed and got up." You stupid? I cant use my phone, lets go use one of da neighbors phones."

Cindy nodded and got up grabbing her shoes. "Yea you right, your brother aint that stupid."

Riley and Cindy headed across the street to the dubois house and knocked on the door.

Tom opened the door with a smile. "Hey there Riley, what can I do for you?"

"Hey , can I use yo phone?" Tom raised an eyebrow as he looked at the pair.

"I suppose so, Is something wrong with your cell phone?"

Riley looekd at Cindy as he walked inside. "Uhhh yea Cindy broke it." "What? Nigga I didn't do any-"

"Now now Cindy no harm done, im sure you'll replace it." Cindy hit Riley on his sore arm which made him flinch but he still had a smirk on his face as he grabbed the house phone and dialed Huey's cell number.

After a few seconds Huey's voice came over the phone. "Hello?"

Riley took a deep breath and changed his voice to sound much lower. "Huey Freeman, we've kidnapped your girlfriend Jasmine, if you don't do exactly what we say then you'll never see her again."

After a few seconds of waiting he heard Huey again. "What do you want me to do?"

Cindy and Riley both could barely contain their laughter, they couldn't believe it was working.

"Meet me at the park in one hour." Riley hung up the phone as Cindy burst into a fit of laughter.

"Nigag you so stupid he's gonna kill yo ass!" Riley started laughing too. "Aye call up Jasmine, we gonna make this real fun." Cindy grabbed her phone from her pocket and dialed Jasmine's number

"Hey girl, whatchu doin... ok, hey meet Riley and me at da park in like an hour...Cuz we gonna play a prank on Huey...yea I know I know but just do it... ok see you there." Cindy hung up and left with Riley.

"What did she say?" "She said you dumb as hell for doin dis but she's gonna go along with it anyways."

Riley smiled as they left to go back to the Freeman house, he knew Huey was probably gonna kick his ass for this later but not before he had some fun with it.
