Devaughn Watt takes the world in

I got out of the dollar van and saw my right hand man, so I called out, “Sturkey!” He walked over and I said, “What’s up turkey?” and then I laughed and said, “I’m just joking. Where are you going?”

He said, “To meet this girl name Maddie.”

I said, “Wait for me. I’m going to get a beef patti.”

He asked, ‘”Could you buy me one?”

I said, “Gladly.”

Now Im felt good.

Sturkey asked me what time I was comming to the hood and I told him probably around eight.  He said he would come to my house andI told him not to make to much noise when he opened the gate.

“Also make sure you have my game.”

I grabbed my book bag and ran to the train. All I heard was people beeping their horns. I get down stairs and pulled out my metro card and  swiped it through.

An officer screamed out, ”Come over here young man!”

I walked over and said, ”Is there a problem?”

He said, ”Whose metro card is that in your hand?”

I said, “Mine.”

He said, ”Don’t make me slap you, you little punk. Don’t lie. If you’re not telling the truth I will make you cry”.

I looked up and asked him why and he laughed and said I hurt punks like you on purpose. Then he asked for my I.D and asked me why I looked so nervouse.  I said, ”what?” and balled up my fist. Then I looked at the cop and thought  you are not worth it. He gave me my I.D  back and said let me leave you little punk.  I looked him in the eyes and said don’t get thrown in a trunk, laughed, and kept on walking.
