It was cold. I dont know what type of front decided to hit South Florida, but I was freezing my butt off. It was a whole 44 degrees and it was only the first day of December. Why? I had no idea. Of course it was winter, but Florida winter is never actual winter.

I was walking to school by myself since Amaru was a victim of the stomach flu. She had been puking all over the place for the past few days so she's been home resting.

I made a mental note to remind myself that with the money Cato insisted on paying me, I needed to invest in some clothes for this type of weather. These hoodies weren't cutting it. I was shivering. My hands were frozen. My nose was cold and running. My eyes were burning. This was not fun at all. I was considering turning back around and going home. My bed was calling my name.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of a horn honking. I just ignored it and kept walking. Most of the time, it was usually just some random guy trying to get me into his car.

The horn honked again but it was closer. I ignored it again. All of a sudden, a car pulled up next to me. "You want a ride?" I heard a voice yell. I finally took the time to look over and see who it was.

It was Boyd. I shook my head no. "I'm okay."

"Quit being stubborn for like two seconds bra. Get in the fuckin' car" he leaned over and opened the passenger door. I sighed and gave in. I would keep walking on any other day, but today I just wanted to get to school as quick as possible.

I got inside the car and thanked God that he had on the heat. He had gospel music playing from his radio and I looked over at him weirdly after realizing.

"What?" he mumbled as he stopped at a light.

I shook my head. "Nothing."

"Nah, say whatchu gotta say."

"I didnt know you were the Tamela Mann type" I chuckled.

He shook his head with a smile. "Gotta get my daily praise in."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "YOU? Daily praise?"

"I'm offended that 'chu think i'm just a spawn of satan" he joked.

"I don't. Its just that you ...aren't that Godly like...." I trailed off.

Boyd sucked his teeth. "One thing I hate is when people tell me that shit like, you of all people should know that aint nobody perfect cause I know yo ass be up in the church witcha mama every sunday. I ain't the smartest nigga in the world. I might cuss like a fuckin' sailor. Ion always do right. But that don't mean I cant give God all the glory, praise, and thank him for what he do for me."

My mouth formed an 'O' out of shock. Boyd had just went off on me about his spirituality? I was shocked.

"Touché" I stayed quiet as he continued to drive.

After a while, he spoke again. "I got something to ask you. I usually wouldnt ask but I been wanting to more and more lately."

"What is it?" I asked him. It probably was about Amaru.

"How would you feel if I asked to get to know you better? Like on some personal shit, ya feel me?"

"By personal, you mean?" I asked as he pulled into a parking spot at school.

"I wanna fuck witchu."

I blank faced him. He sucked his teeth. "I wanna date you." 

I laughed. "You dated my sister and besides that, you're always insulting me. That wont happen."

"Correction: I fucked yo sister cause she easy as fuck and ion insult 'chu. I keep shit real. You be treatin' me like scum and that shit low key hurt my feelin's sometimes" he shrugged.

"I dont take you serious."

"Why the fuck not?" he asked me. I ignored him and got out the car, cold air hitting me as I exited. I started to walk away but heard him come after me. "Answer my question, damn."

"Do I really have to?" I raised an eyebrow at him. He was really acting like he wasnt one of the biggest players at this school.

"Yeah" he said matter of factly.

"Boyd you literally had sex with probably half the girls here at school."

"You really believe that shit?" he asked me laughing. I nodded. Of course I believed it.

He shook his head. "I swear on my grandma grave, ion even much get down like that."

"Even if I did believe you, I still wouldnt date you. Its like girl code. You had relations with my sister. No thanks."

"Athena... Gimme a chance, please?" he pouted. I inwardly rolled my eyes.

"I'll think about it" I was lying. I wasnt going to think about it at all.

Boyd smiled. "Aight, i'ma fuck witchu later then."

"Yeah, see you later" I waved goodbye to him as he made his way down the hall. I let out a sigh and made my way to the library. There was no way in heaven or hell I was going to date Boyd. Of course, I used to like him but he proved to me over and over that he was basically no good.

I sat down at a table and started on some of the work that I was supposed to be do

ing for Cato. My phone buzzed from my bag so I took it out. I already knew who it was. No one else had the number but him.

Cato: Wyd tomorrow?

Me: School.

Cato: You can't skip a day?

I frowned. My mom would kill me if she found out I skipped school.

Me: No. I can't.

Cato: Damn, ight. I'ma come getchu after school then.

Me: Cool.

I put my things away and left the library. If he was coming to get me later, then there was no need to do the work now.
