He’s a Thug, but He’s My Thug

Chapter 19: My Master Plan

Shawntee's P. O. V.

It was the first day of school and I was ready to put my plan into action. I decided to wear some distressed dark blue jeans with a coral boat neck tee that had gold studs on the collar, a black, sheer cardigan and black combat boots. I put on some gold clip on earrings and a few gold bangles on my wrist. I thought to myself "With me looking like this on the first day of school I'll have every nigga on me, including Caine." Well that was until I stepped in the kitchen to grab a doughnut and saw that Annah chose to upstage me once again. Today she decided to wear a teal high-low button down with black metalic shorts that had gold studs shaped into a thick cross on the front right leg of her shorts, a pair of teal Sperry's with the white laces and a jean jacket on. She wore big gold hoop earrings with a gold cross chain and had her hair tied up into a big bun and her make-up, though I hate to say, was on point. "f**k! I'll never be able to steal Caine from her looking like that!" I thought to myself.

"How I look?" Annah asked me. "Slut!" I thought to myself. "You look cute." I said grabbing my doughnut and glass of chocolate milk before walking to the table. "Ok, thanks." She said. I rolled my eyes when she wasn't looking. "You look cute too!" She added. I nodded my head and said thanks even though all I wanted to do was ignore her ass. Apparently its going to take more than looks to steal Caine.

After breakfast we started walking to the bus stop when I realized Annah had a car now so why in the hell am I walking? "Why we didn't take your car to school?" I asked her. She looked at me and said "I wanna save gas and money by taking the bus to school so I can have a way to and from work and do what I wanna do on the weekends." I nodded. When we got to the bus we saw this tall dude that Annah called Stretch because he was so tall. "Who this?" He asked her. She introduced me to him and he said "Oh, nice to meet you, Shawntee." With a smile. I smiled back. "Nice to meet you too." He was cute. Maybe after I was done with Caine I'll try to get with Stretch for a minute. Annah and Stretch talked for a few minutes but I just vibed to the music on my Android as we waited for the bus and I thought of how to get some information on Caine. Luckily when we sat on the bus he was on there but Annah of course, sat next to him. I decided to sit next to Stretch and dig some info up on Caine.

"What's up, Stretch right?" I asked him. He nodded. "Yeah, what's up?" I smiled and said "Nothing really, just nervous about my first day." He looked at me with this big Kool-Aid smile and said "Why? Your cousin the most popular girl in school! You ain't got nothin to stress about." I wanted to roll my eyes but I had to keep my cool so he wouldn't catch on to me so instead I just smiled. "I don't know. Guess it's just a natural feeling." He nodded and said "I understand." A few minutes pass and I realized I needed to get this information about Caine so I decided to stop beating around the bush. "So, you know my cousin's boyfriend?" I asked him. He looked at me like I was crazy. He replied with a "Yeah," and looked out the window. "Oh word, what you know about him?"

I could tell he was wondering why I was asking all these questions but my ass needed some answers. "I know he sell drugs," he replied. "Why you need some?" I shook my head "No" as I saw him looking back out the window. "Come on, give me something!" I thought. "You know where he be at and stuff?" I asked. He laughed. What the f**k? Nigga I may be dark skin and short but I ain't no Kevin Hart. "Why you asking so many questions about this man?" He asked. I lied and said "I'm just worried about my cousin that's all."

"Then why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Because I don't want my cousin to think that I'm over protective of her for real."

"Yeah, ok."

"So are you gonna tell me where he be at?"

"Well I know he stay home mostly and deal unless he need to restock on some 'product' then I see him driving out by my job in Dogwood Park a few miles away from his house. He be going to this dude named Terrance crib to get what he need, stay there for a while then go home." I nodded my head. "What about when he not dealing?" I asked. He licked his lips because they were getting dry. "Like I said, he mostly stay home but sometimes he go hoop with some niggas in the park around the corner from y'all house." Ok. So he likes to stay in his set a lot. That's understandable. If I dealt drugs I'd stay close to home for protection. "He does this every day?" I asked, this being my last question. He nodded. "Perfect." I thought to myself.

We got off the bus and Annah helped me find my classes and most of them were with Caine. Yes, I could see how he acted with out her around. A couple females would come up to him and I would get angry. Of course not for Annah's sake but my own. He would quickly blow them off though, s**t I would too. The hoes that stepped to him were through, hurt, done with, busted, and down right ugly! It was these hoes that I knew would give me all the dirt I needed on him! I would use these hoes as my "friends".

One of them was named Deidra. She was short, fat, had short hair and was blacker than burnt concrete. Another one was named Amber. She was real tall and skinny, she almost looked lifeless! She had dark circles around her eyes like she hadn't slept in years, almost decades! The cutest thing about her was her long, sandy brown hair that came to the middle of her back and small pink lips. Last but not least we had Madeline. She was brown skin with very fat lips and thick eyebrows on a big head but her body was very skinny and she was average height. She almost looked like Amber but uglier and she had more weight on her than Amber did. Her hair was also very short to the point that she would have to smile really hard to pull that s**t back into a ponytail and she had real bad acne. The best thing about all these girls were they were all friends and I knew they had dirt on Caine. All ugly girls always got something bad to say about niggas that dismiss them. It wasn't long before I befriended them and ate lunch with them. I decided that now was the best time to ask about Caine.

"Caine is a selfish son of a b***h!" Amber said. Deidra nodded her head and said, "Right! This nigga thinks that just because he slang a few drugs and go with that girl Annah, he the baddest thing out here! He ain't s**t, he ain't never gonna be s**t!" We all laughed. "You can't lie, he's cute though!" Madeline added. They all replied with a "Yeah," in unison. "True, I heard he got that good stroke and he be dicking that Annah girl down!" Deidra said. So he got good d**k game too? That's definitely what's up! "I know he do, she got thicker! Plus he used to go with that one girl Wanda and he used to f**k her little ass up!" Wanda huh? "Does Wanda go here?" I asked. They nodded. "I think she's in your next hour, can I see your schedule again?" Asked Madeline. I took the folded piece of paper out my pocket and unfolded it before handing it to her. She looked it over and nodded. "Yep, she's in there with you." She said before giving me my schedule back. Great I can find her after class and get some s**t from her. I finished my food and left for my next hour.

I had American History this hour. I hated this class with a passion, man!
