The Carnival



I changed out of the clothes I wore to school earlier into something just as comfortable. I still kept the same jewelry on.


I put all of my products inside my bag and sling it over my shoulder. After putting on cologne, I grabbed my phone and keys. I open my top drawer to pull out my Glock 17 and tuck it in my pants.

I went to pick up Rue first. I entered the house was met with my aunt, Rue & Gia's mother.

"Hey aunt Leslie." I say.

"Hey baby. Look at you all grown up." She says pulling me on for a hug.

Breaking apart, she inspects my face. "You look so much like Rue."

"I look like hell?" I question in a joking manner.

She hits my shoulder laughing a little. "I heard that." Rue screams.

After getting both of my cousins, the carnival was the next location. When we arrived Jules, who I met earlier, was already waiting for Rue.

"So is Jules like your girlfriend?" I asked curiously.

"What? No." Rue answers.

"She's definitely in love with her, I think." Gia says.

"Yeah, definitely. Just shoot your shot." I say.

"How about you just shoot your shot?" Rue fires back to get the attention off of her.

"Oh I would but what did you say earlier? Nate's gonna fuck me up right?" I laugh.

"You have a crush on Maddy?" Gia asks in shock.

"Huh? You have like a crush on Maddy?" Jules repeats as we approached her.

"Oh Jesus. This is where I leave. Rue please be responsible for once. Oh and here since you're way more mature than she is. Have fun girls but not too much fun. And most certainly don't do anything that I wouldn't do." I say and hand Gia a fifty dollar bill.

"What exactly wouldn't you do?" Rue asks.

"Everything that you do." I respond and smile before walking away.

___________________

Why have I never thought of selling at places like this? Business is booming. I'm almost completely sold out of everything. I had coke, weed, acid, and molly at the start. Now all I have is a couple acid tabs and about a quarter left of weed.

At this point, I was just walking around. That was until I got stopped by a child.

"It's you." He says.

"It's who?" I asked confused.

"The person who's been outselling us obviously." He answers.

"You're a child. What do you possibly know about selling? And who the fuck is us?" I ask.

"Follow me." He says.

Stupidly, I follow the boy. He lead me to some pretzel stand. Now I'm even more confused than before.

"Fez, I found her." The boy says.

"Ah, so you're the one who's been killing us tonight." The man, who I now know as Fez, says.

His voice was slow as fuck. And I mean slow like he was on drugs or something.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I ask.

"We sell just like you but we heard that you've been getting all our customers. You fucking up our business." He responds.

"That has nothing to do with me at all. Although have you thought about expanding?" I ask.

"What you mean by that?" Fez asks.

"Business partners. I mean your working with a fucking child." I answer.

Out of the corner of my eye, I seen Cassie. She was calling me over and of course I was gonna go. Mainly because she's with Maddy.

"Look I don't have time for this. Think about the offer and let me know. It ain't hard to find me." I say before going over to the duo.

"Hey Y/N." Cassie says while giving me a hug.

"What's up Cass?" I respond.

I looked between the both of them and it was obvious that they're high as hell. It wasn't weed, more like molly. As a dealer of these products I know what it looks Ike to be high off of certain shit. Your eyes tell it all.

"You should come inside the house of mirrors with us." Maddy says.

And before I could even say anything, both girls were dragging me inside. We were the only ones inside this weird ass attraction so I decided to light up a blunt. A backwood to be more precise.

As I was smoking they began to talk about their boyfriends. Nate and McKay. Something about Nate saying that Maddy is dressed like a hooker. McKay saying that him and Cassie were just "chillin." Whatever the fuck that even means.

I don't know and I wasn't really too interested. I normally try to stay out of girl talk like this. I mean they're the ones who decided to date fucking idiots who don't respect them properly.

"So Y/N are you like rich or something?" Cassie asks.

"Um, not really. But I'm far from broke." I shrug.

"Why don't you have like a girlfriend or whatever? I mean you're quite attractive." Cassie says, asking me more questions.

"Because I don't want one." I answer but it was clearly a lie and not the full truth.

"You're lying." Maddy says with a smile. "Who do you have a crush on? We gotta hook you up."

It's you. As much as I wanted to say that I couldn't. "No one. I don't even like relationships."

Thank God my phone rang. I felt myself about to crumble under her gaze. "What's up Rue?"

"I can't find Gia. I've been looking all over but I don't know where she is." She says.

And this is exactly why I said Gia is the more responsible sibling.

"You let Gia go off on her own didn't you? She's only 13 Rue. Where's the last place that you seen her?" I ask.

"She was in the Gravitron." Rue answers.

"Alright. Where are you?" I respond.

"By the chili stand." She says.

"Okay meet me at the funnel cake stand next to the Gravitron and we'll go from there." I say and hang up.

Once again, typical Rue.

"I'll catch up with you girls later. I have a family issue." I say.

My eyes linger on Maddy as she stares back at me. I could feel Cassie staring at me, eyeing the stare down between me and Maddy. She almost looked jealous for a second. I smile at both girls before exiting the mirror house.

"Rue what the fuck? How do you let a 13 year old girl off on her own at a fucking carnival? Do you not know how many creeps this place is probably filled with?" I ask as I approached her.

"I know Y/N. It's my fault. But we should be looking for her and not argue." She responds.

"Emma, yo." Rue says to some girl that was most likely Gia's age.

"Yo Rue, what up?" The girl responds.

"Have you seen Gia?" Rue asks.

"Yeah, like over there." The girl answers.

"Over where? Where is she?"

"You know like the Gravitron." Emma says.

"Is she in the Gravitron?" I ask.

"No she's like by it. I...I really have to pee." Emma says before walking away.

Well that was fucking useless. We looked around the fucking ride but she was nowhere to be seen. Aunt Leslie is going to kill the both of us if we don't return with Gia.

"Yo, there's some kids over there." I point out.

Rue drags me over there desperately hoping that her sister is over there. When we got to the spot surely enough Gia was here. With a group of boys at that. Twin boys. It smelled like weed. And yet I thought that she was more responsible one.

"Gia, what the hell? I've been calling you." Rue says.

"Rue and Y/N." Gia says in a slow monotone voice.

"Are you stoned right now?" Rue asks.

"Nah." She answers.

She's clearly lying. This ain't good for any of us. Leslie is going to serve our asses on a silver platter.

"We're just chillin'." One of the boys said.

"Yeah that's my sister and cousin." Gia adds.

"Yo, Roy." The boy said.

"What's up?" The other one replied.

"This is Rue's little sis." The first boy said.

"Oh, yeah. I knew that by the way she was hitting the weed."

"That's me." Gia chuckles.

"All right Gia, get up. Let's go." I say.

"What you mean let's go? You see where having a funky good time." The first boy whose name appears to be Troy said.

"That's great. Now Gia get the fuck up and let's go. I'm not playing with you." Rue says.

"Wow. What'd you do? Decide to just clean up, and, like, oh, I wanna become a mom?" Troy says.

Oh. These kids are fucking bold. Little do they know I will fuck them up. Kid or not, anyone can catch these damn hands.

"Gia get the fuck up." Rue says becoming frustrated.

"Yo, for real. When'd you become such a bitch?" Troy says.

I'm about to shoot his ass in a minute. Rue turns her attention to him. "Excuse me?"

"Was it after you fuckin' OD'd? Yeah. It's good. I know it's only weed, but you might get addicted." He continues.

Ight, that's enough. I pull my gun from out my pants and shoot it in the air. Everyone fucking jumps like I knew they would. Fucking pussies.

"You wanna say that shit again nigga?" I ask, waving my Glock around.

"N-nah, it's all good." He stutters.

"That's what I thought. Gia let's fucking go." I say.

She quickly stands up and follows us.

"You're fucking scary. You know that?" Rue asks as we made it back to the carnival area.

"No, what's scary is what your mother is gonna do when she sees that Gia is high." I respond.

Looking around, I seen Nate drag Maddy somewhere. It looked very violent to me.

"Hey y'all go to my car. I have some eye drops in there for her. I'll be there in a minute." I say.

It took a lot in me to hand over my keys to Rue. But my mind was stuck on Maddy so that was my least concern. I wish I didn't have a crush on her.

Why couldn't I like Cassie or something? Ya know anybody but her. I turned the corner only to see Nate choking the shit out of her. See I wasn't wrong for saying that I thought he would've choked her to death.

"Aye bruh get yo hands off her." I say.

"Mind your business. Go away." He responds angrily.

I look at Maddy and it was very evident that she's scared. Her eyes were begging for me to help her. I guess it's time for me to bring out the Compton in me.

I pull out my gun once again. I love scaring the shit out of people. "I think it's better if you go away. I don't want to have to hurt you but I will."

"Yeah whatever." Nate says.

He looks at Maddy one last time before walking away. I put my gun up and go over to see if she's okay.

"Yo, you good?" I ask.

"Fuck Y/N. I've never been happier to see you in my life. Thank you so fucking much." She says hugging me.

"No problem. I'm here whenever you need me. Except not right now, I gotta go." I say.

"Wait." Maddy says quickly. "I want to go with you." She says nervously.

She wants to go with me. No fucking way. I must be daydreaming. Y/N, nigga, you need to get it together.

I smile lightly. "Let's go."
