Come and See
--------------------------------------
August
-1 week later-

"Yo, August!" CaPree ass got ta yellin' as soon as he stepped inta our room. I looked up from the lil page I was writin' on ta see him steppin' in, all sweaty and shit.

"What's good Pree?" I asked afta reachin' out ta dap him up.

CaPree turned out ta be coo' as shit, nigga funny and jus' chill. We be up in hea' rollin' at night. Not ta mention my nigga onna basketball team so he be lettin' me know what's good wit' all the lil shorties runnin' 'round campus. I ain't been exploring 'round hea' jus' yet ta even know what's up wit' the girls out hea', although I still kinda had my eyes set on O'Shae even though I ain't seen her these last four days.

"Man, you trynna head out tanight, they got a lil introduction party for us Freshman down at one of the upperclass men's crib." He tol' me while he went in his closet and got ta pullin' out shirts.

I sat up and closed my notebook befoe throwin' it onna nightstand. I ain't heard shit 'bout no parties 'round hea' and honestly a nigga was startin' ta get a lil bored, but I guess ion't talk ta too many people ta know 'bout any shit goin' 'round outchea. Even though I already been hea' foe a whole week, I still ain't been trynna make no friends or no shit like that. I really jus' been all up in this school work and trynna get used ta this shit. I ain't even gone lie, shit ain't been as bad as I thought it would be. Its actually been goin' good. Mama, and Aunty all proud and shit of a nigga, and I'm proud foe even lastin' this long.

"Upper class men throwin' a party foe freshman? Man that shit don't sound right."

"Naw these dudes cool. They on the basketball team wit' me, and they ain't on no shit like Rah and them. You should really slide through Aug, you ain't even met no people out here yet man. Ain't even talked wit' no girls Bruh! They gone love yo little tattooed country ass!" He joked wit' me. I laughed at him, and shook my head. This nigga.

"Is that right?"

"Yea nigga, you even seen any broads outchea you into?" He asked befoe headin' inta our bathroom and startin' the showa up.

I shrugged and hopped off'a the bed and headed foe my closet ta find some clothes. I just might step through ta this lil party. a nigga could use a night out 'cause I ain't use ta all this chill shit.

"Yea, I guess you ca say that. There's this one pretty lil chick." I tol' him straight up. He poked his big ass head out the bathroom doe cheesin' all extra hard and shit.

"For real? You know her name, what she look like?"

I scratched the side of my face and pulled out a shirt ta wear, then gabbed some jeans. "Yea, uh her name O'Shae."

Pree ran out the bathroom and stared at me all extra shocked in shit. He had me checkin' behine me ta see if thea' was a bug or some shit onna wall the way this nigga was lookin'.

"Wait, wait, wait a god damn minute. You talkin' 'bout O'Shae Harris? Upperclass man O'Shae. Fine O'Shae?"

"Yes nigga, that one."

He wiped a hand down his face and stepped completely outta the bathroom befoe leanin' against his bed. "Nigga you just wanna give somebody a reason to fight yo ass huh?"

I looked ova at him wonderin' what the fuck he meant, befoe pullin' my pants on, an zippin' 'em up. "Whatchu mean bruh?"

"I mean you got some lil thang for O'Shae, and that's Rah's girl."

"Rah's girl? That nigga that had busted up in hea' at the beginnin' of the week?"

"Yes nigga, that one."
