Hi.
You, wha'chu doing here?
YOLO.
What?
You only live once. [pulls a bottle of alcohol out of her bag and starts drinking]
What, so you're drinking now? At school? [takes the bottle from her] It's not cool, J. [throws the bottle away]
Khalil, calm down. I just wanted to ask you something.
Look, I'm not going to calm down. Look, you saw and went through some craziness, I get it. But that is not the way to deal with it. I've seen it all, J. Brother shot and killed, father in jail, momma working her damn ass off, just to provide. Yeah, I live the life that rappers talk about, and ain't none of it cute. None of it. But you know what? God gave me a gift. I can run fast. So I'm gonna run my black ass straight up outta here, and I ain't looking back. But I want you to come with me. But not like this. No, that is going backwards, and I can't do that.
I just see the world completely different now.
Oh, I got'chu. Really, I do. That's just growing up. Come here, J.
