"Can we do sum?" Nykera asked annoyed. She was tried of staying in the house all day with Tyrone just watching him play the game.

"Like what?" Tyrone said still looking at the TV.

"Ion know.. I'm bored though." She said.

"Go eat or sum.."

"I don't wanna fucking eat Tyrone!" She raised her voice.

He turned around and tightly gripped her neck. "Yo what the fuck is yo problem? You've been having that tight ass attitude all day. If you wanna leave the door is right there." He said with direct eye contact.

Nykera bit her lip feeling herself getting turned on, that quickly went away when she realized they couldn't do anything.

"Ain't nun wrong with me.." She mumbled softly slapping his hand away.

"Ight so what you wanna do? You tryna go to the mall or sum?" He asked.

She nodded with a wide smile..

"That's all you had to say.." He shrugged tapping her thigh.

"Where you going?" He asked as she got up.

"To the bathroom." She said closing and locking the door.

She pulled her pants down and did her business before wiping herself and changing her pad. As she was in the middle of that there was a knock on the door.

"Why you lock the door?" Tyrone asked.

"Youn wanna know.." Nykera simply said.

"Oh you right.. take yo time." He chuckled going back to the bed.

Nykera pulled her pants up then washed her hands before leaving out the bathroom.

"I'm so hungry.." She sighed laying on the bed.

"You gon eat at the mall." Tyrone simply said going in the bathroom and spraying the place.

"Where all that food you had go? Who been up here eating all yo snacks?"

He laughed. "You nigga."

"Boyaaa. I'm barley ova here anymore cause you be bUsY." She quoted.

"I do be busy.." He said and she nodded not believing him. She just didn't want to start an argument before they go to the mall..

"That's what you wearing?" She eyed him sitting up as we walked out the bathroom.

He had on gray Nike sweatpants along with a white T-shirt that fit his body well but he had a gray Nike sweatshirt over it.

"What's wrong with it?" He said going in his closet. It was pretty big and neat for a guy. His whole house was neat, she liked that about him.

"Yo dick print showing.." Nykera bluntly said.

He chuckled shaking his head.

"Nobody finna be looking down.." He shrugged.

"Yes they issss.." She dragged standing in front of him. He was pretty tall so compared to him she was a midget, she always had to look up and he always had to look down.

"And ion want nobody looking at what's mine.." She bit her lip putting her hands in his pants.

"You tryna go to the mall or you tryna get the period fucked outta you?" He said making her laugh.

"You can't take shit serious." She fell out on the bed still laughing. "How the hell you gon fuck the period out of me?"

"Shiet.. ima be experimenting on you. Once it's done ima make it my new invention."

"Tyrone you sound bout dumb as hell.." She shook her head watching his every move closely.

It was something she would randomly do.. she loved admiring him. She adored everything about him.

"Change yo pants.. forreal though." She said.

"Yeen my dukes shorty, calm allat.." He said turning around to look for different pants.

"You still doing it though.." She shrugged getting on her phone.

"Fuck up.." He mumbled.

She rolled her eyes seeing Janiah was calling her, she hung up and kept doing her business on her phone.

She hadn't talked to Janiah or any of the other girls since she got jumped at the park. Neither had she went to school because she didn't feel like dealing with people bothering her about getting jumped.

She usually wasn't the scary type and she would always clap back when someone tried to pick on her but it would be different if it was the whole school.

Her school always dragged shit and did the absolute most.

"Let's go." Tyrone came out of his closet. Nykera stood up and followed him out the room.

"Ion even wanna go to the mall forreal.." She said once they got in the car, he looked at her with a bored facial expression.

"Then why the fuck you said you wanted to go to the mall?" He said harshly.

"Cause I was bored.." She shrugged.

"You really irritating as hell dawg.." He shook his head turning his attention to the road.

"Ion care.. you still fucking with my irritating ass.."

He mumbled something under his breath that she didn't hear and she mugged him.

"What was said?" She held her hand up to her ear. "Let it be known li dawg.."

"Little? You still in high school shut yo young ass up." He said.

"Bitch being in high school don't mean shit." She said lowkey offended. She hated when people brought her age up.

"Yeah ight. You not even legal yet." He laughed trying to make her mad. Which was something he always did, especially when she was on her period.

"But you still fuck with my non legal ass. Bitch don't play with me I'll get yo ass in trouble right now.." She cut her eyes at him.

"Do it bitch. I dare you." He chuckled not paying her no mind.

She popped him in his mouth. "Bitch don't call me no bitch."

"Bitch you doing the same shit, shut yo weird ass up." He said and she popped him again.

He pulled her by her ponytail, her head was now over his lap, under the wheel.

"Let my hair go!" She yelled.

"I'll kill boffus right now, keep playing wit me." He said.

"Let my fucking hair go you dog ass nigga." She said scratching his hand. He let go and shoved her to the window.

"Stupid ass.." He eyed her as she looked out the window with her arms folded.

"Bitch ass.."

"Hoe ass.."

"Ugly ass.."

They went on and on until they got to the mall. It was pretty packed today but they didn't expect less because it was the weekend.

"This nigga walking fast as a bitch.." Nykera mumbled trying to catch up with Tyrone. She was way behind.

"Why you walking so fast?" She said once she caught up. "Acting like youn wanna be seen with me or sum.."

He stayed quiet making her bitterly chuckle.

"Ight.." She nodded walking in PINK leaving him by himself.

"Looking for anything specific?" A worker came up to her as she looked at the underwear.

"Nah, I'm okay.." She said tryna shoo her off.

She hated when the workers tried to help her when it wasn't needed. "Obviously I'm cool if I ain't call for you, if I needed help then I would" was how she worded it.

The worker nodded going someplace else.

Nykera checked her surroundings making sure no eyes were on her before slickly grabbing a pair of underwear and tucking it in her bra.

She looked around one more time before taking another, she took one more before going some place else.

She snickered at how dumb the workers were, she always stole when she came here, so did other people but they just never noticed.

But she never took the ones that were hanged up or had tags, she always took the ones that were in the boxes. To her, they were more easy to take.

It wasn't like she was broke, she just didn't feel like paying a whole lot of money for a pair of underwear.

"Oop, my bad.." She accidentally bumped into someone because she wasn't looking.

The tall figure turned around revealing a brownskin guy with waves, he was skinny but fit at the same time, he had on a pair of black and white 1's along with a black sweatsuit, he had his hoodie up but his waves were still showing.

"You good.." He said looking her up and down.

Nykera eyed the lotions, perfume, and girly clothes he had in his hand. He obviously had a girlfriend. But to Nykera, he was eye fucking her so it wouldn't hurt to do a lil sum back.

"You like sum you see?" She smirked.

He laughed, "nah.."

He turned back around as Nykera's cheek turned purple from embarrassment.

"Bae should I get this one or this?" A girl came from around the corner looking at the guy.

"Get both.."

The girl looked at Nykera and didn't like how she was all close to her boyfriend so she mugged her.

Nykera ignored it and kept walking.

A hand lotion bottle caught her attention making her grab it, she opened it and smelled it before scrunching her face up.

"They made it look like it was gon smell all good and shit.." She mumbled putting it back and grabbing the one next to it.

"Mm.. this one smell aight.." She shrugged grabbing another one.

"Girl I know you is not talking to yourself." She heard someone say making her roll her eyes.

"What you doing here?" She turned around facing Janiah.

"Well I called you to tell you we was all going to the mall but you declined. But it don't matter now cause you already hers.." Janiah said with a shrug.

"Aw.." Nykera nodded moving to the line, Janiah followed her.

"Who you here with?"

"Business? Mind yours." She waved her off.

"Girl don't be getting smart now.." Janiah laughed. "I was just asking.."

Nykera nodded.

"Why you wasn't at school?"

"Didn't wanna go, why does it matter? Fuck is you questioning me for?" She said annoyed. Everything Janiah would do ended up annoying her now.

"Girl.." Janiah laughed. "Must've woke up on the wrong side of the bed."

Nykera simply nodded moving up in the line again. It was now her turn to pay.

As she put her lotions on the counter, Janiah also put her stuff there.

"All together?" The cashier said.

"Yeah." Janiah said handing her a card.

Nykera knew the card wasn't for her, she guessed that it was for one of her sugar daddies.

"Ian need for you to pay."

"Girl shut up." Janiah said grabbing her bag, Nykera grabbed hers.

They walked out of the store, Nykera checked her surroundings seeing if she could spot Tyrone.

"You came with Tyrone?" Janiah asked.

"Mhm.." She simply said still looking around.

"He right there.." Janiah said with a sly smirk.

Nykera looked where she was pointing and she spotted Tyrone and Maya coming out of the bathroom.

"Oh wow.." She mumbled as they started going to the food court, laughing in each other's face.

"That's how he coming huh.." Janiah chuckled making Nykera mug her.

"My bad.."

She scoffed walking off and headed towards the escalators. She wanted to go home as soon as possible. She felt so embarrassed.

She knew better though. She knew her worth but with Tyrone she acts a fool. She lets him play with her feelings.

She stays mad at him for a few days but falls into his trap and manipulative words again and it's the same cycle.. over and over.

Once she reached the first floor she ordered an Uber, while doing that she bumped into someone.

"Watch where you go—" the rest wasn't heard because she rushed outside.

She felt overwhelmed being in that mall, just seeing Tyrone and Maya together made her feel a mixture of emotions.

She sighed sitting on a bench to wait for her Uber. Another boy was sitting there too so she scooted all the way to the edge.

"Ian gon bite.." The person laughed, his voice was deep. She couldn't see his face because his hat was low.

She didn't reply, only stared at her blank phone screen.

"Can't speak now?" The person said.

"Ion gotta speak, ion know you." She said with an attitude.

The person smirked, liking the way she talked.

"Attitude tight huh?" He said.

"Stop fucking talking to me.." She mumbled looking around.

"Ight.." He held his hands up in surrender. "Ima leave you alone.."

"I was just gon sa— BITCH SHUT UP!" She yelled interrupting him. Everyone turned their attention to them as he laughed at her.

He thought it was the funniest shit ever.

"Mane you crazy.." He shook his head as she stood up, seeing her Uber driver pull up.

"Annoying.." She mumbled getting in the backseat. She sighed heavily laying back and putting her seatbelt on.

"Stressed?" The driver said pulling off.

"Nah.. irritated. I feel like slapping a bitch." She said with her eyes closed. The driver laughed.

The rest of the car ride was silent.. Nykera was tempted to fall asleep but she was always warned to never fall asleep while in a Uber by herself.

15 minutes had passed and she was now at her house.

"Thanks.." She said grabbing her stuff and getting out the car.

Her stepdad's car was in the driveway, her mom's wasn't. She sighed heavily, preparing herself for whatever would happen before going in the house.

"Wassup.." She heard him say startling her.

He was sitting in the dark simply smoking..

"Hi.." She mumbled making her way upstairs.

He was too calm for her liking, she felt like he was about to pop off soon.

"Where the fuck you was last night?" He said, she stopped mid-stairway.

"I was uh.. I was at a friends house.." She said trying to quietly continue up the stairs. Just in case she needed to run to her room she would have a head start.

"Who?" He asked.

"M-my friend.." She said in a duh tone but tried not to be smart at the same time.

"You was at that grown ass man house huh?" He stood up.

"No." She quickly shook her head.

"You think ion know how you act Nykera but I do. You not slick at all. I be knowing all that shit you be doing, you be running round in the streets acting fast and shit. I should really beat yo ass like you some grown man on the street cause that's exactly how you acting.."

"I wasn't even at his house." She mumbled continuing to lie.

He glared at her before heading towards her, she quickly turned around and ran upstairs and into her room.

She accidentally slammed her room making him more angry. He banged on her door as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Man just gimme a damn break for once.." She mumbled going in her bathroom and locking the door.

Her bedroom door wasn't that strong but her bathroom door was, it was her number 1 hiding spot. Her stepdad never even tried to break the door down cause it was always a failure.

She pulled her phone out, turned the lights off, then got on Netflix.. waiting for her stepdad to go away.

To her.. it was a regular thing..
