"Wow, this is really nice" I said as I admired Kai's home.
"I don't know why but I thought you would have some huge ass house like the drug dealers have on wattpad" .

"The hell is a wattpad" he scrunched his face up as he walked farther into the house.

"Uhh, we can save that for another time" I laughed.

I could've sworn I said that shit in my head.

"No but this honestly fits you well, you have good taste designs" I said as I looked at all of his African art on his walls.

"I love African American art, they each have their own meaning" He said. "This one is one of my favorites actually, one of my students created them" He said as he pointed me to A women who has tears in her eyes along with the date that slavery began and the date that it ended.

"Wow, what's the meaning?" I asked

"Well if you take a look into the lady's eyes, you'll see ships—the ships that they packed our people on" He spoke.

"Okay I get it, and that's the reason why she has tears in her eyes" I nodded.

"And that's also why the painting is called "The Worst Sight", because back then that WAS the worst sight to see" he explained.

I nodded

"You mentioned that you had students, you're a teacher?" I asked

"No I'm sorta like a mentor for some boys from my old neighborhood" He said

"That's amazing, what made you want to mentor kids?" I asked

"I didn't really have the right male role model growing up since my father wasn't present, so I wanted to be that active role model for other young boys or men around my community" He explained.

"So you basically taught yourself? Like you were kind of your own role model growing up"

"Exactly, I went through every emotion—I was always caught up in shit growing up. I went through life the hard way, I was very hardheaded" he chuckled

"I was always in and out of jail, it wasn't until my last time which was about three years ago—I finally got my shit together, my mom was the one who actually opened my eyes" He said

"I was hurting my moms and didn't even know it, she held me down through all of my phases—but that last time, she put her foot down and told me that I needed to get my shit together"

"I remember that same exact night that I called her when I got booked for Gun and Marijuana possession, she said "Kairo I know you didn't grow up with a father but that doesn't give you any right to be a menace to the fucking society! I don't know what I'll do if I lost your ass to the system let alone to the streets—so get your shit together right now or I'm fucking done and I mean that shit" . He memorized.

"Did you get your shit together after that?" I asked.

"Hell yea, my mama ain't never told my ass she was done" he shook his head.

"I had to serve a good year and some months, and during that time all I could do was read and sleep— that's where most of my knowledge came from" he shrugged.

"So if you changed then why'd you go back to selling?" I asked curiously.

"I needed to stack up on my money so that I could pursue my actual dreams" He said.

"I understand" I nodded

"Enough of me—how are you feeling? You good?" He asked.

"I don't know how to feel, I caught my bestfriend and Armi in the bed together" I sighed.

"Armi as in the guy you had feelings for? And your bestfriend as in Neveah?" He asked

"Yup" I popped the p

"That's some fucked up shit Harlym, what's your next move?" He asked

"I'm still in shock believe it or not, I don't know how to handle shit like this" I shook my head.

"It's really not that much that you can do except for removing yourself— that's their L" He shrugged.

"I agree, they knew what the fuck they were doing".

"So you plan on moving?" He asked

"Yea, I need to start looking for places now actually" I laughed.

"Well shit, I'll help you look— we can push this sleepover back" He suggested.

"It can still be a sleepover, we'll just be looking at different places— and we can look at places for your shop"
