Honey. My sisters and Mama thought I was the shy one, but they were so wrong about me. I knew when to keep it cool. I also knew when it was time to show my ass. That time wasnât when Mama had a knife near Karrineâs throat. I wasnât sure if she was going to use it. She had never done anything to that magnitude before, but we all knew that Mama could be a motherfucker if you rubbed her the wrong way.
I didnât understand why Karrine kept pushing her, but I bet she wouldnât do that shit again. I wanted to know the truth about Ray too, but after hearing what he had done to Chyna, I was mad as hell. Had I known what heâd done to her, I would have shot that nigga myself, cut his dick off, and shoved it into his mouth. I know Mama had told us not to talk about it, but as soon as we got back to Karrineâs room, we talked about it. Mama was in her bedroom, but we whispered to each other so she wouldnât hear us discussing it and trip.
âI didnât know Ray did all that shit to you,â I said to Chyna as she sat on Karrineâs bed.
âIt was a long time ago. Iâm over it. I feel much better now that his ass is six feet under, sniffinâ dirt.â
The only reason I laughed was because she did. Chyna was strong and she held all of us down. She had all of our backs, and I couldnât help but to think about a time when she almost got killed because of me.
It started with what was supposed to be a quick visit to the grocery store. Mama said she needed some butter and eggs to make a cake and I told her I would go to the store and get it. Chyna decided to ride along with me, and on the way there, we chatted in the car about feelings she was catching for this ugly dude at school. Body wise, he was hooked up. But his face wasnât about nothing.
âThat nigga look like he been beat in the face with several bats. I know you can do better than him. You just like him because heâs a star football player, thatâs why.â
âThat may have a little something to do with it, but he still cute. Look way better than that Nico dude you be following around, and if anybody ugly, itâs that trick he be with all the time. Are they a couple or what?â
âIâm not sure, but I donât be following anybody around. His ass be sniffing after me; you can trust and believe that.â
We laughed, and as soon as we got to the grocery store, we just happened to see Chance, the ugly dude Chyna had a crush on.
âSee?â I said to Chyna as we walked down the aisle laughing. âYou talked up on him, didnât you? Why donât you go say something to him?â
Her face twisted. âSay something like what? It ainât that serious and you know Iâm not about to confront no dude about my feelings.â
âYou donât have to confront him. All you have to do is go walk in front of him and let your big ass speak for you. Your face can speak for you, too, and I know you ainât trying to be shy up in here.â
âNow is not the time or the place. Why donât you go get the butter and Iâll go get the eggs? That way we can hurry up and get the hell out of here.â
I walked off to get the butter, but as soon as I grabbed a stick of butter, I saw Chance again. This time, he was standing next to two other dudes who were looking my way. I always like attention, so I took it upon myself to go find out what all the stares were about. I also wanted to put a few words in Chanceâs ear about Chyna liking him.
âSup,â I said, approaching Chance and his friends. âWhy yâall staring so hard?â
One of the niggas was real blunt. âBitch, ainât nobody staring at you. I was checking out that fine - ass white gal behind you.â
I turned around, seeing no one in sight. âI donât see anyone there, but obviously there was someone nearby because she mustâve been the bitch instead of
