STORY TIME!
CHAPTER 12: LET'S GET SOMETHING STRAIGHT PT. I
Music blared through the speakers from the living room just as soon as the six teens, plus the little girl, who was wide awake by the way, entered the Freeman Residence. There were also a few more people than expected who showed up.
Like…about half of the Sophomore class?
What the hell were they doing there? This was supposed to be a little celebration between Cindy's friends, not between Cindy's classmates.
Casually walking down the hallway with confusion written all over their faces, except for Kayla's who was clearly excited to see so many people, the crew bumped into an Asian dude with short black hair, a burgundy hoodie, black jeans and white Nike's. The guy had some earphones wrapped around his neck and shot the crew a bright, toothy grin.
"What's up, party people?" He politely greeted in a smooth voice. He kinda sounded like he was trying to be black, but then again he didn't. It was kind of hard to explain, but he didn't sound corny or anything. Kayla gave the guy a huge grin.
"Hi! I'm Kayla!" She cutely greeted him back. The crew just looked at him with the same confused look they had on their faces when they walked in.
"Well hello, Kayla. I'm Hiro." He said as he knelt down to the little girl's height. "And I would be your DJ for this party."
"I think you'd have the decency to actually tell us what's going on rather than speaking to a little girl." Jazmine responded as everyone, but Huey, eyed her. Damn, what was with her?
Hiro cleared his throat uncomfortably as the awkward silence between them commenced. "Right. Well, I'm Hiro," He started off. "As I just stated before, I'm here to provide you with all of your favorite jams. So ahh, if you have any songs in particular that you'd like to hear, just let a brotha know." He informed them with all the decency in the world.
The crew nodded as Kayla began to do some little dance in front of them once she heard Single Ladies.
It was a wonder they could hear the boy as loud as the music was playing, but they did.
"Hiro, would you mind telling me what's goin' on? I mean, we were just gonna have a little thing with our friends, not the whole Goddamn school." Huey said, leaning over to speak to the dude without Kayla hearing them. Hiro chuckled as Huey pulled away.
"Relax my dude. Your grandfather said it was cool. I was wondering why the princess gangsta ain't show up for the Homecoming dance earlier today, 'cause, ya'll know she's the life of the party right?" He asked as the crew nodded.
Actually, Huey didn't know, for he's never been to the Homecoming dance before. Or any other party Cindy's ever gone to for that matter. The only reason he planned on going to this one was because of two reasons: It was the last high school dance he'd ever go to with his entire crew, and Jazmine was going. But, because of Cindy's expense, that plan was pretty much thrown out the window.
"So, I took a little break as I let a few songs play," Hiro went on. "And I asked Mr. Lassiter (the principal), where Cindy McPhearson was and he said he didn't know. So I asked him if he had your number somewhere," he pointed to Cindy as she nodded. "And he said, it was in the office and he gave me the key, which was a huge surprise 'cause y'know, who the hell gives students keys to an office? But anyways," he continued as he noticed Huey and Riley's faces with matching bored looks on them. "I looked on your information card and called your house, but no one answered. So I called your mom's cell and she answered. So we got to talkin' and what not and we finalized that we should have this little party. She told me where it was and she told me to let you guys know. She said it was a surprise and she'd talk it over with you guys' granddad," he pointed to both Huey and Riley. "And basically, that was that. We here, ya'll here, and there's a party goin' on. So enjoy." He finally ended and turned to walk to the living room.
The crew looked at each other, as Kayla continued to dance, and shrugged. Okay, so this was a huge surprise and Cindy's parents along with Granddad knew. So all of these people didn't show up uninvited. Cool.
Huey didn't necessarily like the idea of having so many people in his house, but it was whatever. This was for Cindy anyways.
"Well, I'm gonna go check to see if anyone's in my room." Huey announced as the crew nodded. Jazmine gave him a small grin.
"Okay, I'm coming!" She excitedly beamed as everyone, but Huey, looked at her again. She was just so serious, now she was acting like a damn kid high off sugar. Huey rolled his eyes and took her hand as she followed him, blushing.
And up the stairs they went.
Cindy shrugged once again. "Aiight, well since this is a party…" She trailed on before running into the living room to become the center of attention, leaving Riley, Stacia, Caesar and Kayla standing there. Kayla stopped dancing and looked up to see three teens looking around at the scene in the house. She then looked ahead as she heard Cindy getting into the music and happily skipped into the living room.
Caesar was about to call to the girl, but as he looked around, he realized that he didn't really need to. She was just fine. This place was full of amateurs and people who just liked to dance. Potential killers, pedophiles or anything like that didn't seem to be in sight. So he just shrugged and gracefully walked into the living room himself.
Now, standing in the hallway, stood Riley and Stacia.
As Riley looked around, he spotted a few people he most definitely, no, he most assuredly, would never associate himself with. Not those uppity niggas. And if Tyree Hall was up in this bitch, Riley would absolutely, positively, go off.
Never would he invite a stranger into his premises. Ha! That'd be the day.
"What up, Riley?" And I guess the day had arrived? Riley turned around. There, standing in front of a now very pissed off Riley Freeman, stood a medium brown skinned young man, just an inch shorter than Riley, and his two colleagues standing behind him. The one on the right side was light skinned, lighter than Huey and Riley, with dreads as long as Lil' Wayne, whereas the other dude on the left was dark skinned with a fresh cut. All three of them had that sly smirk on their faces that Riley would be more than glad to wipe off.
"Nigga, what you want?" Riley gravely questioned back. The light skinned dude rolled his eyes as he sipped his drink that Riley just now noticed was in his hand. The other two just continued to smirk. "And you know not to call me by my government. It's either Esco', Escobar or Young Reezy. Choose one or move on."
The dark skinned guy smirked as if he took Riley as a joke, and he did.
"Look Young Reezy, we ain't come here lookin' for no fights. We just came to celebrate this Homecoming thing with the home girl Cindy over there." He said as he pointed down the hallway to a crowd of people rooting for Cindy and her little cousin. The medium brown skinned guy sighed.
"C'mon now, Corey. You know we don't need to explain ourselves to this lil' boy-"
"Nigga, get out my house." Riley growled as Stacia looked at him with worry. She knew he didn't like this dude, but he looked as if he was ready to kill.
This can't be good.
"Uh, baby, I think you need to calm down." Stacia told him barely above a whisper. As she looked at the three arrogant looking niggas in front of her, her scowl was prominent. "And you three need to go. This ain't no place to stir up drama, so if you tryna start some, I suggest you leave now. If you just here to enjoy the party, then by all means stay, but chill with that childish shit. Nobody has time for your bullshit, Tyree." She let them know as the three of them rolled their eyes. "And don't think Riley can't whoop ya'll little asses; on AND off the court." She concluded as Tyree squinted his eyes in disbelief. His boys just sucked their teeth.
"Whatever." Tyree said as he headed to the living room, followed by his trusty lackeys.
Riley looked back at his girlfriend and smirked. "Damn baby," he commented as Stacia snorted. "You handled that shit pretty well." Stacia smiled back and kissed Riley for a few.
"Yeah, well I don't like them either, and you looked like you were about to about to bite their damn heads off." Stacia explained as Riley laughed halfheartedly. The situation was a little funny.
Just then, Jazmine and Huey walked down the stairs laughing and saw that Riley and Stacia were still standing in the hallway laughing as well.
"Damn, ya'll still here?" Huey asked with a raised eyebrow. Jazmine was just smiling as she thought back on what just happened. Riley and Stacia looked back at them nodding.
"Yeah, we just had a little encounter with someone we really wanted to see." Stacia replied sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"Who?" Jazmine asked, trying to stifle laughter. Huey looked at her and tried to contain his smile, but it just didn't seem to work.
Riley looked at them with squinted eyes of confusion. Stacia didn't even look at them. She just shook her head and looked over her shoulder.
"Them niggas over there." She said, directing her attention to Tyree, who was so engrossed in his conversation with the dark skinned dude, Corey. The light skinned dude was nowhere to be seen.
"Who, Tyree?" Jazmine asked. Huey just rolled his eyes.
"I know that goofy nigga is not in my house." He hoped, for Tyree's sake. He really didn't like that nigga. Huey was no hater, no matter how many times Granddad, Riley, Rummy or Ed had said so in the past, but Tyree just wasn't a likeable person. Huey always gave credit where credit was due, so he admitted that Tyree was good on the basketball team, but he wasn't the best and the dude boasted as if he was. It was sickening and straight up irritating. How anyone could even begin to deal with a person like that was beyond him.
"Yep. He sho' is. Drinkin' up the damn punch and what not. I shoulda whopped that nigga's ass when he was standin' here." Riley stated as he scowled at the dude. Stacia put her hand in Riley's shoulder.
"Baby, chill. He's just a distraction. Don't let him get to your head. Today was a good one. Ya'll won the game, Cindy's okay and this party is live as hell. Let's just enjoy it, okay?" She reasoned with him and kissed his cheek as he sighed.
"Okay, fine. Let's go." He told her, but Huey stopped him.
"Actually, Riley, I gotta talk to you." Huey said as Riley shot him a glare. "Don't look at me like that. And it won't take long." Huey warned him. Stacia just looked at Huey and tilted her pretty head in confusion.
"Um, okay…well I'll be over there with Cindy and them. Jaz', you comin'?" She asked hopefully. Jazmine apologetically shook her head.
"Sorry Stacia, but I'll be in there in a minute." She promised as Stacia sighed, nodded and walked off. The three of them watched as Tyree looked at her and waved. Riley glared.
So the nigga's tryna be funny, huh?
Stacia flipped him off and walked into the living room, disappearing with the crowd. Riley could've sworn he heard Tyree respond to Stacia's gesture with a 'when and where' comment, but Huey quickly turned his attention away from that.
"Riley, don't worry about him." Huey said in annoyance. "Just listen to me." Riley nodded as Jazmine continued Huey's statement.
"Okay, now do you know what the person looked like who was choking Cindy?" She asked in a hard, business-like tone. Riley's eyes, along with his tone, hardened at the mention of that incident.
"What the fuck is this? We at a damn party and ya'll tryna worry me with this bullsh-"
"Just answer the damn question, Riley!" Huey exclaimed as his anger started to get the best of him. "This is important."
Riley tilted his head, just as Stacia did, and raised that Huey brow. "Ya'll know somethin' about this person, don't y'all?" he asked knowingly. Jazmine, in response, lifted her eyebrows to her hairline as Huey just looked at Riley. She didn't expect him to catch on, but Huey knew his brother was smart. He caught on quick.
Huey sighed.
"Yeah, and honestly, we need your help, along with Caesar's." He responded, matter of factly. "You know what? We might even need Cindy in this. She may've been a victim but she's pretty tough." He realized as Jazmine glared at him and Riley slowly nodded his head, half understanding and half…not…understanding.
"Right, and you said you didn't want me involved? Cindy's a girl too! I'm tough too! I may be emotional, but I can handle my own." Jazmine complained as she looked at Huey, hurt in her voice and her eyes. Riley just looked at the ordeal in front of him uncaringly. Huey sighed as he saw Jazmine's eyes. He didn't like it when she did that.
"C'mon now, baby. You know I don't want you to get hurt." He responded as Jazmine nodded turning away from him, but she sharply turned her head in his direction as Riley did the same. Their eyes grew ten times their normal size.
"You…just called me baby?" Jazmine asked, as if she didn't hear him. Riley's lips began to spread into a grin as he eyed his big brother's facial expression.
Huey looked back at them with wide eyes. Did he really just say that? Aloud? And in front of big-mouth Riley?
His cheeks filled with red, not pink, red, as he focused his gaze on Jazmine. "Y-yeah, I guess I did." He stammered as Riley snickered.
"Damn, nigga you is gettin' soft on me." Huey glared.
"Hush." He warned. "Now, just answer the question." Huey ordered as his cheeks were still aflame.
Riley rolled his eyes. "Aiight, nigga." He began. "Where do I start?"
"The beginning would suffice." Huey sarcastically remarked. Riley just scoffed.
"Shut up, smart guy." After a quick thought, Riley snapped his fingers. "Oh, okay. Well this nigga had on all black first off all. Lookin' like a ninja or some shit. And he was really skinny and tall. And trust me, this nigga was a nigga, 'cause I ain't never seen a bitch with that many damn muscles in my life, or a nigga, for that matter." He noted in realization. "Matter of fact, the nigga looked like a mini version of The Hulk, and ya'll know that nigga strong as hell. Shit, nigga could pick the world up and drop it on yo' fuckin' head." Riley said, followed by a little snicker at his Lil' Wayne reference. "But yeah, that's all I know."
Huey and Jazmine looked at each other and then back at Riley with the exact same looks on their faces.
Shock.
"What?" Jazmine exclaimed as Riley sucked his teeth.
"Damn Jaz', you want me to reiterate or somethin'?"
"NO!" She yelled, causing him to jump at her response. "Sorry for yelling, but no. It's just…"
"We thought a girl did this." Huey answered her statement for her.
"A girl?" Riley let out before laughing out loud. "Well shit, if that was a girl than…damn." He concluded as he continued to laugh. Huey looked bored.
"Are you done?" He asked, as Riley nodded, still laughing. Clearly he wasn't, but whatever.
"Look." Huey said as he pulled out his cell phone and turned on his screen. Riley raised an eyebrow at him, coming down from his laughter, before looking down at the phone.
He read the message and blurted out.
"WHAT?" Well that didn't make sense.
"I know. It doesn't add up, right?" Jazmine knowingly responded to his outburst. Riley looked at her and nodded.
"Hell naw. This shit crazy. She actually messaged you?"
"Caesar too." Huey said as both Jazmine and Riley looked at him in shock.
"I didn't know that." Jazmine told him. Huey snorted.
"I know. He just showed me at the hospital. That's why he was actin' strange like that." He answered. "And you wouldn't believe the conclusion he came up with, which sounded pretty understandable, until now." He added.
"What?" Jazmine asked with all the curiosity in the world.
"Yeah, nigga, what?" Riley added.
Huey snorted before responding. "He said it was Briana."
"BRIANA?" The other two exclaimed as they looked at each other and then back to Huey. Huey sighed.
"Yes, Briana." He reiterated, rolling his eyes. He hated repeating himself.
"Well how did it all make sense before?" Jazmine asked. "We don't even associate with her."
"Yeah." Riley added as if he were some kind of echo.
Huey sighed, for he knew Jazmine would be pissed beyond belief. Oh well, she had to know the truth at some point in time.
"Okay, well at the Pep Rally, she sat next to me, and you knew that 'cause you came over later." He began as Jazmine just chocked up her eyebrow, waiting for him to continue. Riley just listened. "Okay, so after the Pledge, I'm about to sit down, and she brushes her hand against the back of my pants claiming that somethin' there, which I highly doubted, but I was like, whatever." He said as Riley drew his eyebrows together, still listening. Jazmine huffed, but she controlled her anger. She had to if she wanted to know what was going on. "And later, when she came to Caesar's house with the pizza-"
"Wait, she's a pizza deliverer?" Jazmine asked with a smirk as Riley snickered yet again.
Huey rolled his eyes. "Yes. Now could you not interrupt me?" Jazmine rolled her eyes also and nodded. "Alright, so when Caesar and Cindy picked up the pizza, she looks at me and smiles at me like she expected me to smile back. So I just look at her like, 'okay', and you," He looked at Riley as Riley in turn raised the brow, "You told me to get the pizza and complained about me bein' lazy. And after that I just picked up the pizza and was about to turn and close the door, but she says 'Veggie Pizza? That's so you, Huey.' Like she knew me." Huey said as he grimaced.
Jazmine rolled her eyes. "I knew something was up with that girl. I never liked her." She explained. "I always felt kind of bad for judging her without knowing her, but I kind of didn't care, and I'm glad because…oh ho ho," Jazmine went on ending in laughter that Huey presumed was pent up anger.
"Jaz', calm down." Huey said, trying to…well, calm her down. "I'm even starting to doubt if it's her now. Riley just said it was a man that strangled Cindy."
"Okay, but she could be working with someone. I mean, God, Huey I know you're cute and lots of girls would like to get with you, but she's bold. And I do not like the vibes I get from that girl. I think it is her." Jazmine stated and then her eyes went wide as she thought of something. "Besides, remember what I told you about what happened at the game?" Jazmine went on, as Huey's eyes went wide too. He palmed his face with his hand as Riley looked at the both of them.
Okay, now he was confused.
"What she talkin' about, yo?" Riley asked his older sibling. Jazmine looked at Riley and shook her head. She told him everything that happened while she was in the bathroom and Riley looked at her with an unreadable expression.
"…You damn right she bold." He started. "Bitch actually told people…her and my brother go out." He stated, more to Jazmine than to Huey.
"Yep, and I can't wait to see her." Jazmine said as her pissed off nature was evident now. "Where is she?" Huey and Riley saw the look on Jazmine's face, and they knew that if ever Briana was to show up at that party, she'd be in for an ass whooping of a lifetime.
"Hopefully she ain't here. We ain't here to draw blood. We here to party." Riley noted while he looked around. The party was still jumping.
Damn. All three of them forgot about their surroundings. They were supposed to have fun, and they were so caught up in the drama, they were oblivious to the fact that the party was going on with or without them.
And not only that.
They didn't even notice that little old Briana Taylor nosily sat behind them on the steps, listening to their every word.
Damn, I have to be more careful. They're on to me. She thought as she sneakily walked past the crew and bolted out the door without another word. Okay, so she had to be more tactful. She had to be more discreet. Because of these people were onto her, her entire plan wouldn't work out. And she wasn't only afraid of the fact that Cindy would definitely whoop her ass, since she knew Huey, Riley and Jazmine would tell her, but she was also afraid of Jazmine, actually. She'd never seen such fire in the meek young woman's eyes. Jazmine looked as if she was ready to kill. And if she'd spotted Briana right on those steps, Briana wouldn't have made it out of that house alive.
Alright, time for plan B. Briana thought with an evil grin as she hurriedly walked down the street, just in case she was seen by anyone else.
Whatever plan B was, Briana was sure to go with it and was pretty sure the crew wouldn't be onto her this time.
"We got the jazz, we got the jazz!" Caesar chanted along with A Tribe Called Quest as the song played throughout the entire house. Riley and Stacia were in the kitchen getting some food, along with Lamaar and Marcus.
"Yo, Cindy just told me she was admitted." Marcus stupidly remarked as the three of his friends gave him a deadpanned look. "I ain't know that."
"Duh, Marcus. That's why we here." Lamaar mentioned as he shook his head. "Honestly man, where's your head?" He said as he playfully tapped his best friend's noggin.
"Ah, nigga. Don't do that." Marcus warned with a glare, but it quickly softened when a high yellow young lady with medium length hair walked up to him holding a drink. He smiled at her as she kissed his cheek.
"Baby, what you do to make Lamaar fuss you out again?" she asked with a raised brow as Riley, Stacia and Lamaar tried to hold in their laughter. Marcus sucked his teeth at his friends.
"Man, nothin' they just trippin'."
"Nigga, please." Lamaar started, "This dude ain't know Cindy was in the hospital until she told him." he cleared up to his friend's girl. She knowingly smirked.
"Is that so?" she jokingly scolded her boyfriend as he sighed heavily.
That did it.
All three friends had to place their plates on the counter before cracking up, for they feared they were going to drop it.
"THIS NIGGA STUPID!" Riley yelled out through his laughter as he hunched over.
"Dumb. ASS!" Lamaar shouted as he threw his head back. Stacia was so weak she couldn't even say anything.
Marcus' girl chuckled a little until he looked at her. The smile never left though.
Marcus frowned.
"Baby, I'm not stupid. Tell them I'm not stupid!" He whined childishly as his friends continued on with their laughter.
"Aww, my poor baby." She cooed as she placed her hands on his face before kissing him on the lips, his pout going away.
He smiled, until…
"You don't think I'm stupid…do you?" His girlfriend remained mute.
"Uh…"
Elsewhere…
Kayla, Cindy, Jazmine and Huey were upstairs in Huey in Riley's room. Kayla was knocked out on Huey's bed. All that partying really wore her out. The rest of the teens were just up there for some serious business.
"Cindy," Huey began, "We think we know who hurt you."
Cindy drew her eyebrows together. "Who?"
"Well, Riley told me that the person he saw was all black and he was…well, basically like a miniature version of The Hulk." He explained as Cindy seemed to understand.
"No wonder that nigga had that tight a grip on me." She responded, to herself, really.
"Yeah, but that's the weird thing because, every other source doesn't seem to add up to large, bulky person." Jazmine continued for Huey. "The sources seem to lead up to that girl Bri-"
"WHAT I NEED, WHAT I NEED, IS THAT GIRL THERE! WHAT I NEED, WHAT I NEED IS THAT GIRL THERE!" Some white boy sang the N.E.R.D. song as he unknowingly bursted into a room he wasn't supposed to be in.
The three friends stared back at him with disbelief as he awkward looked back at them apologetically.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…Oh, uh…sorry. I thought this was the bathroom." He apologized. All three friends looked down at Kayla to see her sound asleep.
Good.
Huey sighed. "The bathroom's down the hall in front of the stairs." He directed boringly as the boy nodded and quickly closed the door. On the other side they all could still hear him singing the song.
"PARTY PEOPLE! PARTY PEOPLE! I CAME TO GET DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN DOWN…GET THE FUCK UP!"
"Okayy…" Jazmine drew out as she turned her attention from the door. "Anyways, Caesar came to the conclusion that Briana is behind this."
Cindy wrinkled her nose in disgust. "That bitch?" Huey and Jazmine nodded in unison. "What the fuck does she have to do with anything? We don't talk to her!" Cindy nearly yelled, but silently cursed herself as she looked at her cousin.
Who was still asleep.
She blew out a breath of relief and shook her head. "How is that even possible?" she asked in a soft voice of misunderstanding.
"We got proof." Huey indicated. "But first, we gon' need to bring everybody up here."
"Including Stacia?" Jazmine asked.
"Including Stacia."
Meanwhile…
"You got the stuff?" A fair-skinned, huge, Hulk-sculpted black guy whispered as he discreetly stood beside the Freeman household. In front of him was a short Blasian with her long dark hair tied into a bun at the base of her neck and all black attire to match the huge monster in front of her. Her eyes were covered with a black mask.
The sneaky little devil of a young woman pulled a skinny silver object out of the side of her pants pocket and carefully handed it to the huge fellow.
"Right here. Now don't drop it, or else this plan will not…work." She slowly explained to him. "Okay?"
The man rolled his eyes. "I know, I know."
"Good." She stated with one curt nod. "Now you cover the back while I walk in there and see what's going on." She went on as the huge guy looked at her with worried eyes.
"What if you get caught?" He worriedly asked. She just snorted.
"Pssh…they didn't catch me before." The son of Hulk rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Briana, you got lucky." He reminded her, but she quickly shushed him.
"Shut the hell up! They're already onto us! I don't need you sayin' my name!" She silently shouted.
"Oh, my bad." He apologized.
"Yeah, your bad." Briana emphasized with a roll of her eyes. "Whatever, just don't screw this up." She warned him as he simply nodded and headed around the back discreetly. As he left, she let go of some air that she didn't know she held in.
Seriously, she didn't need to worry about him messing this up.
She had to worry about herself, because God knew this girl was about to do the utmost risky thing she'd ever done in her entire life.
Even if it meant risking the person's life she was trying to get with.
Ohhhhhhh, that Briana is a sneaky one isn't she? *sigh*
Oh Lawdy Lawd!
Ya'll have got to review on this one! Or else...
*Random reader* "Or else what?"
...just review damn it!
