Riley was still on the hill. His cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Riley?"

"Hey Jaz."

"Listen, Cindy is on her way up the hill again."

"What! Why did you send her over here!"

"When she comes, tell her you want to be more than friends."

"What! Jazmine, I wanna be wit you!"

"But then Huey would find out! Let's just keep our relationship a secret."

Riley let out a big sigh.

"iight."

"Good, now tomorrow I'm going to the mall, you want to come?"

"I'll be there."

"Great! Bye!"

Riley sat and waited. It wasn't long until Cindy showed up. She walked up the hill to Riley.

"Reezy, I'm sorry. Look, forget about before; we can go back to bein homies."

Riley looked into her saddened eyes.

"Naw."

"Huh?"

"I wanna be more den dat."

"But… you said…"

"I was just under a lot of pressure."

Cindy's face lit up.

"So, does dis mean?"

"Yeah, you can be ma gurl."

Cindy squealed in excitement and hugged her "boyfriend".

"C-merph, you actin a little gay there."

Cindy just giggled and hugged him tighter. She stopped after a while.

"Wanna go back to ma place?" Riley asked.

"Sure."

As they walked down the hill, Cindy slowly held Riley's hand.

"C-merph?"

"Well, now dat we together, we can hold hands, right?"

"I guess."

The two walked all the way to Riley's house, where Huey was standing near the front door. Riley felt his heart race as they walked near him.

"There you are, Riley! You do know that Granddad invited people over, right? He is expecting you here too."

Huey noticed that Riley was holding Cindy's hand.

"Riley?"

"What, nigga?"

Huey pointed to their held hands.

"Uh." Riley said blushing.

"I thought you would soften up and realize that all women are not hoes."

"Dey still are!"

"What about Cindy?"

"She different. She proved herself not to be one."

Cindy let out a giggle.

"Whatever man. Just come inside. Cindy can have dinner with us too."

The two went inside and saw everyone sitting down to dinner. They sat down together at two empty seats. Robert noticed Riley.

"There you are boy! Any longa, and I would have to whoop yo little ass!"

Robert turned to Cindy.

"Hey cutie pie, glad you could join us!"

"Thanks Mr. Freeman."

Robert invited Tom, Sarah, Ruckus, Thugnificent, the lethal injection crew, Grant, Ed Wuncler the third, Rummy, and Ed Wuncler. What caught Riley by surprise was that some people were there that Riley did not expect to be there. A pimp named Slickback, Cristal, Ebony brown, Mr. G petto, Jack flowers, Jing Mei, and a whole bunch of others.

"Granddad! What's with all these people?"

"Can't an old man invite anyone he wants on his birthday?"

Riley completely forgot about his Granddad's birthday.

"Now, don't you have a present fo yo Granddaddy, boy?"

"Uh…"

Riley remembered what souvenir he bought for Robert.

"Oh! I gotts something."

Riley left the room and came back with a cowboy looking belt.

"Do ya like it?"

"Yeah, It'll make me look like the old west cowboys. And It's flexible, so I can whoop your little asses! Thanks boy!"

Dinner commenced, and everyone hung out around the house. Cindy and Riley were playing video games in the living room.

"Naw way! You cheating C-merph!"

"C'mon Reezy, one more game?"

"No!"

Cindy kissed him on the cheek.

"How bout now?"

"uhhh, naw."

Cindy then gave Riley a passionent kiss on the lips."

"How bout now?"

"iight. One more game." Riley said. He did not feel right being in a relationship with Cindy. If there was one person he wanted to be with, it was Jazmine. He couldn't wait to meet her at the mall tomorrow.

The next day

Riley quickly got dressed and grabbed his wallet. Riley fixed himself breakfast. Robert saw him.

"Boy? Why you gettin ready so quickly?"

"Imma go to da mall, to see wat dey have at gamestop."

"Alright, just stay out of trouble."

Riley quickly finished his breakfast and went on his way. He met Jazmine one of the stores.

"Hey Riley. Wanna watch me try on clothes?"

"Yeah yeah!"

Riley sat down in the husband chair to wait for Jazmine to come out of the changing room. But Riley was unaware that Cindy was also in the store. Cindy was looking at shirts until she saw Riley sitting in the chair. She decided to see what he was waiting for. Jazmine came out of the room with some skinny jeans and other clothing.

"Damn Jaz! Your ass looks tight!"

"Aww, thanks Riley!" Jazmine said kissing him on the lips. Cindy was horrified, and took some pictures with her phone.

"I know someone who would want to see these."
