Here's Chapter 2. Can't wait to see where this story goes ;)


Ch 2. Bets & Butterflies

The bell rang, indicating that the school day was finally over. Booker exited the classroom, making his way outside as he ran into Nia, Tess and Levi

"There you are, we haven't seen you since this morning" Nia said, concerned

Tess Nodded in agreement "Yea, why didn't you show up to lunch?" She asked

"I was playing Basketball in the gym with Lil Lo Lo" Booker responded. The three of them had confused expressions on their faces

"Why?" Levi asked

Booker took offense to that a bit

"Why not?"

Levi attempted to rephrase what he just said

"I didn't mean it like that. I meant, since when did you two start hanging out together? I wouldn't necessarily consider you friends" he said

"Yea...you guys aren't homies" Tess said, laughing

"Well, he and I just decided to put our differences aside, so we can do things we might have in common. In fact, he's coming over our apartment right now" Booker said

"Did mom say it was ok?" Nia asked

"Nah, I'm sure she'll be fine with it" Booker replied

Tess still had a confused look on her face, but ultimately shrugged it off "Whatever I guess, what are you guys gonna do? Play Fork-Knife?" She asked

"Actually, Yes" Booker chuckled "since he beat me in basketball..."

"No surprise there" Levi laughed

"ANYWAY...like I was saying, since he beat me in Basketball, I told him I'd beat him in Fork-Knife".

"Ah, Something you're actually good at, nice" Tess said

Booker nodded in agreement. After a few seconds, Lloyd walked out of the Building looking around to locate Booker before eventually spotting him

"Alright Booker, lets go to your house so I can Beat you in Fork-Knife" Lloyd said, a bit annoyed.

"Looks like someones a bit confident, we'll see about that" Booker responded. Lloyd rolled his eyes, laughing as everyone began to walk home.


After about 20 minutes, they made it back to the apartment, soon making their way inside. As the kids walked through the door, Raven and Chelsea greeted them

"Hey kids, go ahead and get changed so I can do laundry" Raven said. The kids proceeded to make their way to their respective rooms, however Raven noticed a Boy she didn't recognize

"Whos this?" She asked Booker

"Oh. Mom this is...Lil Lo Lo, you've met him before. Remember, few months ago...I made that Disstrack...about his group the 3 gos...we had a Rap Battle on the roof?" He said

"Oh, I remember." Raven said with a smile.

"Um, is it ok if he and I can play some video games in my room?"

"Is Your room clean?" She asked

Booker nodeed "Yes, it is"

"Okay, is it okay with your parents LoLo?" Raven asked

Lloyd Nodded as well "Yes ma'am, they said it was ok. Also, you can call me Lloyd"

"Okay Lloyd, you boys can go play ur little game, if you guys get hungry theres still some leftover spaghetti from last night" Raven said

Booker nodded, gesturing for Lloyd to follow him Into his bedroom, setting his backpack down before grabbing some clothes from his Drawer so he could change. He told Lloyd he'd be back, going into the bathroom to change outta his dirty clothes.

As he returned to his room, he noticed Lloyd already helping himself to Bookers game system.

"What are you doing?" He asked

"Playing the game..duh" Lloyd replied

Booker, clearly bothererd , took a deep breath "You could've waited till I was done. Its rude to touch people's stuff without asking"

Lloyd rolled his eyes and chuckled "Whatever, are we gonna play or not?" He asked

Booker didn't say anything, he just nodded, grabbing the one of the game controllers from his dresser before giving one to Lloyd. As the two began playing, Levi walked in, making his way to the closet before pulling put a suitcase.

Booker noticed this, quickly pausing the game

"Why are you packing Levi?"

Levi turned around, a bit startled "Oh, Im going with my Dad for the weekend, he and I are going to a Father/son convention and he booked us a hotel for the weekend"

"Nice, I get to have the room to myself" Booker said, continuing to play the game.

Levi rolled his eyes, proceeding to pack.

"Hey, we should make a bet before we play" Lloyd said with a smirk

Booker almost instantly sighed in annoyance, forgetting he and Lloyd agreed to make a bet hours prior.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked sarcastically

Lloyd thought about for a moment, he then suddenly had an idea

"I heard you got the new limited edition sneakers...If i win...you have to give them to me" he said

"HELL NO" Booker started "You are NOT getting my new sneakers"

"Why not...scared you might lose?" Lloyd teased

"Of course not, its just that those shoes are expensive. Never in a million years would I give those up" Booker responded

Lloyd still had that weird smirk on his face, thinking once again before pulling out what appeared to be a solid gold chain out of his pocket

"This here...is a solid gold chain. Its worth about...30,000 dollars. Which im pretty sure cost more than those shoes" Lloyd said

Booker's eyes went wide, not believing his eyes

"30,000 Dollars? But why? If they cost more than the shoes can't you just buy your own?" He asked

"Can't. They're sold out everywhere. So what do you say?" Lloyd asked

Booker thought about it. Unsure if he should accept the bet. He figured he didn't have a choice, he already agreed to the bet afterall.

"Fine. I hope youre ready to lose" he said

Lloyd quickly grabbed the controller, smiling

Well see about that.


30 minutes had gone by, they were in the middle of a game, both of them having pretty good scores in the process.

Booker didn't wanna admit it, but he was actually having a lot of fun playing the game with Lloyd. He was having more fun then he did whenever he'd play with Levi.

He looked over at Lloyd mid game, admiring the boys body. Lloyd was laying on the floor, his round butt in perfect view of Booker. Booker soon felt his heart race quite fast, feeling what seemed to be Butterflies in his stomach.

He wasn't sure why he was feeling like this. He'd only feel this way towards girls, never another guy. But he couldn't help but bite his lip at the sight of Lloyds ass.

He was completely distracted from the game, watching as the younger boys body began swaying back and forth.

"Fuck why is he so cute" Booker thought to himself, immediately freezing in shock as he realized what he just asked.

Due to his distraction, Lloyd was able to score himself another point, Booker quickly snapping out of his daze as Lloyd cheered.

"Looks like im in the lead, those shoes are as good as mine" Lloyd said, smiling.

Booker quickly focused, blinking a few times before finally paying attention to the game.

The next 30 minutes went by as the game was about to end. Booker was pressing the buttons on his controller like crazy, clearly stressed out. As he proceeded to do so, he actually managed to beat Lloyd, gaining himself another point. As the game was finally over, the scores declared the winner...A tie.

"A tie? So neither of us won?" Lloyd asked

"Looks like it. On the bright side, we don't have to give up our items" Booker replied

Lloyd rolled his eyes "Yeah yeah i guess"

"So Lloyd...I was actually thinking.."

Lloyd lifted an eyebrow "What?"

"I actually had fun this evening, playing Fork-Knife with some actual competition"

Lloyd nodded in agreement "I agree, usually the ppl I play with are weak" he chuckled

"Yeah...so I was thinking. Since its Friday, do you wanna sleepover? We can play Fork-Knife all night" Booker said

Lloyd was pretty surprised. He wasn't expecting Booker to ask HIM of all people to stay the night

"I don't know..." Lloyd said

"Cmon. To make things better, Levi left and he won't be back till Monday. So you can sleep on his bed" he added

Lloyd thought about it. He ultimately decided to say yes, actually looking forward to hanging out with Booker more. He actually started to like Booker, in fact, he liked Booker more than most people would expect... he even got Butterflies the second Booker asked

"Sure, I would have to go home to pack some clothes for the weekend tho"

"Go ahead, while you do that I can ask my mom" Booker said.

Lloyd nodded, grabbing his backpack before exiting Bookers room and leaving the apartment.

Soon after, Booker made his way into the Kitchen while his mom was Cooking.

"Mom can i ask you something?"

Raven turned around as he had a pot in her hand

"Whats up sweetie?" She asked

Booker hesitated for a moment, before finally speaking up

"Um, can...Lloyd sleepover for the weekend? Please? We'll make sure the room is clean, we'll even keep it down at night" He asked, hoping his mom will say yes

Raven looked at him with a serious look

"Hmm...where is he now?" She asked

"He went home to pack some stuff" Booker responded

Raven stayed silent for a moment, proceeding to put the pot down before facing Booker once more

"Sure. I'll let you have a sleepover, under one condition" she said

"Anything" Booker replied

"Lights out in the room by 11:30 PM. Meaning no games after 11:30, got it?"

"Yes Ma'am, got it. Thank you mom" he said excitedly

"Sure thing sweetie, now go and tell your sister that dinner is almost ready" Raven said, picking the pot back up as she continued mixing whatever was inside.

Booker nodded, leaving the kitchen as he made his way to Nia's room.
