friend Sky seated in attendance as well; the bitch had the nerve to blow me a kiss. I was pissed because I clearly told this bitch not to come to the graduation. I scowled at her messy ass and took my seat.
The ceremony went by pretty fast, and it was finally time to walk the stage. My row stood up and took position next to the stairs, and my palms began to sweat, I wasn’t the most religious nigga, but I began to thank God for allowing me to make it this far, and for all of my blessings. As I was closing my prayer, the speaker was calling my name.
“Jahlil Jones,” she announced.
I took the steps on to the stage and walked towards her as I heard the crowd clap and cheer for me. I even heard my name being yelled a few times; I was so happy. After I grabbed my diploma, I turned and waved at the crowd and then blew a kiss to my babe. I stepped off the stage and waited for them to call my nigga Tone. Once they called Antonio Taylor, I was out my seat and yelling for my nigga; we had made it past our high school graduation, and that was a big deal for two niggas from the streets of Oakland. We had been accepted to a couple schools and had both received football scholarships. Today we would announce that we were going to attend Cal State Berkeley. We both wanted to remain close to the girls until they graduated so we decided to stay right here in the Bay, and Cal was a great school with a nice football program.
Once the ceremony had ended, I opened up my gown; I was too wett to be hiding underneath that robe. Tone and I took off in search of the Squad, but I was cut short as I ran into Ericka.
“Fuck she want?” I said as I rolled my eyes, and Tone snickered.
“Congrats baby!” Ericka said, and reached to hug me; I hit that bitch with a high five and took a step back.
“Bruh, the fuck you doing here?” I asked. I clearly told this broad it was bad, and she still brought her retarded ass up here. I shook my head and looked around for Laela before I continued to speak. “Did you go take care of that?” I asked, referring to her taking the Plan B pill. She looked lost for a second until I mugged her ass.
“Yea Jah damn, why you sweating me? Trust, you made yourself clear this morning,” she said while rolling her neck just as Laela and Jaeda walked up with the rest of the squad. Laela walked to my side and reached up to kiss me as she put her arm in mine; I kissed my babe back and winked as Ericka watched with a mug on her face.
“Oh hey E, what’s good?” Laela greeted.
“Sup,” Ericka responded, and turned to walk away.
“Somebody woke up on the wrong side of bed I see,” Laela said in regards to Ericka’s attitude as we all walked off to our cars. I didn’t respond; I just grabbed my babe’s hand and relished in my moment. We were headed to the City to go eat at The Franciscan crab restaurant, and I was feeling like the man.

The guys’ graduation was great and now that it was finally over, and school was out for the summer; we spent more hours out on the block. Since the night that the Squad had hit Mess’ loved ones, we hadn’t heard a peep from him. His crew was light compared to the niggas we had backing us, and I see now that he wanted no problems but either way, it was a green light on that nigga once he came out of hiding. We were on alert still because you could never be too sure about what a person was cooking up. Jah and I hadn’t been able to spend much time together since the last few weeks; the guys had made a few trips out of town, just watching over the girls that we had working on the road. In two weeks we would all be taking a quick trip out of town, and two of the girls that we used to make runs would be along with us. B had a guy that had a line on traveler’s checks and these exclusive bank flats that we really needed. We were bringing in a lot of money out of state, but we wanted to switch up our approach; it was too many niggas out here using the same kind of work,
