Two years passed by and now we're at graduation

Surprisingly Markius and I managed to stay out of trouble the whole two years. We both graduated with great grades and access to decent colleges for our plan from two years ago

My Aunt and Markius' Mom came out to show their support

I looked around for JJ and Tre but I hadn't seen them yet but I knew they'd arrive to show support

I hadn't been keeping up with anything outside of school since I wanted our plan to work out

The ceremony began

Me and Markius sat next to each other so we talked pretty much the whole time

"Damn it's crazy we made it this far man." He said

I laughed, "Yea man, it's kinda hard to believe actually."

"What college you plan on going to?" He asked

I said, "I'm not sure yet, I definitely wanna leave this place but staying with the group is important too."

"Nah man do what's best for you and ya career, I'm sure JJ would understand. Plus when he blow we'll all still be in contact." He replied

I nodded, "You right man, how's his music doing?"

He laughed, "Bro what you ain't see? Recently his music video Double Up hit one hundred thousand and his songs started hitting ten thousand too."

"Damn what? That's crazy I didn't even know that." I said a bit taken back. I was kinda upset at myself that I hadn't noticed my friends success

He laughed, "It's alright man you never been the internet type anyways. We stuck to our side of the plan and that's all that matters."

"You right." I said

My name was called next to get my diploma

I went up, shook my teachers hands, grabbed my piece of paper and sat back down

The rest of the ceremony slowly passed by

Out of boredom I looked around and saw JJ and Tre standing next to my Mom and Markius' aunt

I smiled and waved at them, happy to see our plan was still in motion

After the ceremony we all took some pic's together celebrating our achievement

We spent the rest of the day together as a group eating out at a local restaurant called Cliff's Za a nice pizza and wing place

My Aunt and Markius's mom left a bit earlier than we did since they had to work

That's when we really started to catch up

"We got a nice drug flow going now, the bands should be up pretty soon." Tre said

Markius asked, "You sure that's a good idea? It could be traced back to you."

Tre said, "Nah we got a few middle men so the chances of that happening are low."

I said, "Well just be careful you know how niggas be."

"You right but even of the business guys, let's talk celebrating." JJ said

Markius said, "Alright bet. What'd you have in mind?"

JJ said, "There's a party tonight and it's gon be jumping with hoes, drink, the whole thing guys. It's in our territory too so there won't be any bullshit."

"Sounds pretty good, I'm in." I said

Markius said, "Shit I am too."

JJ smiled, "Bet, let's get ready to fuck some hoes boys."

We all laughed and enjoyed our time at the restaurant

I'll spare the minor details since nothing else happened besides us getting ready for the night

Fast forward to the party and it was lit like JJ said it would be

People dancing, smoking, and drinking

Music blaring

It was nice

Me and Tre was killing the dance floor together until

*BOOM*
