POWER

BOOK 3 (Chapter 9) She tryna patch me up but Part 1

Well that's what I wanted to happen anyway.

I smiled as I trailed to my first lesson, Law.

 I sat next to my lovely companion Maria and we did our work. College had a half day thing today, and Maria wanted to do a bit of shopping, so we were heading to her house to pick up her money, and drop books. Maria lived in Brixton, I don't want to say that it shocked me, because I don't belive an area makes a person, but I was slightly shocked. I think more over the fact that I knew that Kwali and his stupid gang had 'beef' with another gang in Britxton, and Maria had brothers. I didn't want Maria and Kwali to be like Romeo and Juilet, I was praying her brother was a male version of her, sweet and calm.

"Just be warned, my brothers are extremly crude. The oldest probably won't be in, but might be sleeping, and the second oldest is just the devil. He is seriously evil. Don't take anything he takes to heart. He's on medictaion for bipolar, but 99.9% of the time he acts up on it and is just rude and blames it on that"

I nodded. I still expected her brothers to be good boys.

But when we started walking up a block of flats that vision started fading, when I heard loud music blasting from the busstop, then finally realised that it was coming from Marias flat, I still prayed that her brothers were good boys.

Maria actually liked Kwali, and I just didn't want Kwali getting hurt for fiddling with someones sister or whatever gangs fight about.

She opened the door with the key and the stench of weed hit my face. Maria shook her head, and proceded opening all the windows nearby. She asked me to take a seat whilst she tidyd up quikcly and turned of the music.

But it was spotless, except for the smell of the weed, the house was nicely decrated. She got me a drink and went to change. I put on the news and sipped on my drink. I heard someone walk in, and immeditley the TV channel changed to football. I looked up to the figure that had just sat next to me. I LOOKED UP, to someone who SAT next to me.

My heart was gone.

This guy looked like death. But he was so sexy at the same time. I think it was the fact that he was topless, revealing a beautful 6 pac, leading to a defined V line. But his face, he was coca coloured, but had dark brown eyes, I knew no-one had black eyes, but for a second I thought he did.

He looked at me and kissed his teeth. I frowned but didn't say anything.

Tbh he looked dangerous.

I knew he wasn't the oldest because the oldest was 23 years old, and as scary as he looked, he must have been the second oldest, 18.

We sat in silence for 10 minutes until Maria came back, she looked nice and fresh in a pink blazer and black skater skirt. She asked me if she looked okay and I praised her style.

"Why is it here?" Her brother asked Maria. Maria screwed him and slapped his chest. "Why do you always have to be so rude. She's my friend."

"Don't bring her here again please." He said not even taking his eyes of the tv. I didn't understand? I was wearing jeans, top and a jacket, it’s not like I looked like a bad person?

Well... This is awkward. I looked around the room not sure wether to defend myself or let Maria take lead.

"Stop crying and take your medicine you cow." Maria answered sorting out her back. She seemed used to it.

"I can't find it."

"You mean you put it in the bin again?" Maria asked looking up at him.
