The whole day I was getting cards and candy from friends and gifts from dudes who was trying to get with me. I stashed the many gestures in my bookbag and the rest in my locker because I didn't feel like carrying it all. Molly and our other girl best friend Deonna always said I was just as popular as they was but I never believed it until now. I thought I was only getting attention from the dudes cause I was back on the market but the girls was giving me just as much equal attention. I even heard some girls say "I wish I looked like Annah" and an occasional "That Da'Vontae nigga not wrong for thinking she would cheat! I mean look at her!! She's drop dead goregeous!" I didn't sweat it though. I didn't wanna get big headed 'cause I'm not that type.
It was finally 2:30 and Molly, Deonna, and I had just got on the bus to go home. Molly and Deonna sat in this seat behind me and I tried to save a seat for my boy best friend Tyree. I didn't have to wait long cause Tyree came on a few minutes after we did.
"TYREE!!!!!" Deonna yelled "Back here my nigga!"
Deonna was just like me and Molly. Short but loud as f**k! She was kinda thick like me and Molly but she was more skinnier than us. She was caramel and had long box braids. She had beautiful, shiny, green eyes and long beautiful eyelashes that if she batt them long enough, we would have a hurricane in L.A. Of course she had swag since she was in my clique of friends. Today she Decided to wear her baggy camo pants, her Bread 11's, a red angry birds shirt that said "Don't Mess With Angry Girls" with a jean jacket. Her box braids was in a top bun and she had a red and white paisley bandana tied around her head.
Tyree heard Deonna's loud ass and sat next to me. He looked at me and said "Wassup Bestie?" with his beautiful smile. "Hey Tyree" I said smiling back at Tyree. Tyree was so adorable. He was about 5'7", dark skin like Tyrese but he had a low cut. His smile was just like Tyrese and he he was just like him in every way. He could sing and his body was banging!! The man had all the girls at Lane Wood on his tip and since he was so smooth he could have any girl at Lane Wood but every body always wanted us to date but I refused just cause he was my best friend and I didn't want to mess anything up with us.
"I see you got treated VERY well this Valentine's Day" he said looking at my gifts I had in my hand while he rubbed his hands together smiling. "Yeah I guess you could say so." I replied starting to eat my chocolate before it would melt.
"You gone get a tooth ache from all that candy "
"Tyree leave her alone," Deonna yelled from the seat behind us. "You just mad cause she don't want no chocolate covered Tyree."
All four of us joined in laughter. "Nah I ain't" he started "I just wanna make sure my best friend still had room for my gifts for her." He went into his book bag and gave me a white and pink teddy bear almost bigger than my whole body but small enought just to cuddle with and a heart shaped box filled with Reese's.
"Awwwwww" Molly, Deonna, and I said in unison.
"Thanks, Tyree!" I started. "Your's is the best out of everybody else's!" I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Anything for you Shawty." he said kissing me back on my cheek. I turned in my seat so me, Tyree and my new teddy bear could have more room when I saw this boy get on the bus. He was so fine. He looked about 5'10", was brown skin with dark brown eyes and what looked like a low cut from under his Miami Heat beanie. He had on a red hollister hoodie with a pair of light True Religion jeans and some timberlands. I couldn't see much of it but I could tell he had a tattoo on his neck cause I saw it peeking out from his hoodie and Lord knows I love a tatted nigga. I saw him smile and he had the most perfect smile. His lips were perfect! They weren't too big and they weren't too small. They were just right! His teeth were perfectly white and alligned but he had golds. Normally I wouldn't be attracted to boys with golds but his just made him so much sexier! His golds had white diamonds in and they were fangs. I don't know why they were so sexy but they just turned me on just cause he had them.
"Annah!!!" Molly screamed breaking me out of my daze. "What man?" I said annoyed that she interrupted my thoughts. "Are you still working at the restaurant tomorrow night?" she continued. "Yea, Molly." I told her. I kept looking at the very sexy dude as he looked for a seat. "Um, aye do y'all know who that dude is up there with the Miami Heat beanie?" I said hugging on to my new teddy bear so I wouldn't be rude and point. Tyree followed my gaze with an unsatisfied look and saw who I was talking about. "Oh" he said realizing who I was talking about wiping the unsatisfied glare off his face. "That's my nigga. His name Kendrick but everybody call him Caine." "Is he new?" I asked. "Naw he ain't new girl!" Tyree exclaimed. "He been going here since freshman year just like us!"
"You just aint never noticed him or any other guy cause you were blinded by Mr. 'Vontae's so called 'love' for so long" Molly chimed in. She was right. I loved Da'Vontae so much that I didn't pay attention to any dudes that went to Lane Wood or any other dude at all for that matter. "You wanna talk to him?" Tyree asked. "Me and him do get off on the same stop." I looked at him confused as I said "But me and you get off at the same stop!" "Exactly!" he continued. "If we all get off at the same stop then how come I've never seen him before?" "Cause just like Molly said you never gave no other nigga the time of day if it wasn't that b***h nigga Da'Vontae!" normaly I would of cursed out Tyree for calling my baby out his name but since he wasn't my baby no more I didn't care.
"So do you want me to hook y'all up or what nigga?" Tyree exclaimed. I gave him a d**k look and turned my head out towards the window. "Yea man, but don't do it 'till I leave man and don't make me sound desperate bruh!" I instructed him! "I ain't man!" he said putting his arm up on the seat. "Are you sure though? He is a thug though!" Tyree explained.
"A thug?" Molly and Deonna repeated in unison and shock. "Yea man a thug! What part y'all waterhead girls aint understand?" exclaimed Tyree. "Yes, Tyree! I'm sure." I told him. He nodded and said "I got you." as he kissed me on the cheek again. I kept looking out the window but every now and again I would try to sneak a look at Caine and smile. Caine. A sexy name for a sexy nigga. Tyree's words rang in my brain though. "He is a thug though!" I kept thinking to myself "A thug? I never been with a thug before. Maybe a thug is what I needed!" I guess one of my favorite books that I read on w*****d told it all in the tittle. "Every Girl Needs A Thug". They were right. Every girl does need a thug and Caine was going to be my thug.
