“I don’t know anyone named Harlem.”
“Lying only gon’ make me beat the fuck outta you!”
Kayla moved closer, Farrah didn’t.
“Watch out!” Duke pushed through the crowd.
He made his way to Diamond, quickly scanning her to make sure she hadn’t been touched. Then his gaze hardened when his eyes landed on the girl leading the pack.
“Shika, what’s up?”
She looked at him, recognition flashing immediately, “What up, Duke? You know her?” She pointed at Diamond.
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“She fuckin’ with Harlem.”
Shika pushed the phone in his face to show him the screen.
“I have all the messages, naked ass pictures and everything! I’m about to beat her ass!”
“No the fuck you not, that’s not even her.That’sher,” he pointed to Farrah.
Shika frowned, slightly confused like everyone else as the story unfolded.
“My bad, girl,” Shika apologized before moving the crowd to Farrah and her friends, who tried to spread out like they weren’t with her.
Farrah looked like she was about to cry as Shika got in her face.
“What’s your name?”
“Um…Farrah.”
“You fuckin’ with Harlem? Matter of fact, don’t answer, I want you to see what this nigga thinks of you!”
She facetimed Harlem and turned the camera on Farrah, “This your lil bitch, right?”
“Ion know that bitch,” he laughed in Farrah’s face.
Farrah was really on the verge of tears, but she held it together.
“See that, this nigga doesn’t give a fuck about you, lil girl. I’m gon’ spare you because you already got tears in your eyes. Stay the fuck away from what’s mine. Diamond, Farrah, whatever yo name is!” Shika pushed Farrah in the forehead with her index finger before walking off.
She punked Farrah in front of the entire hood, just like Rich had punked her father. Diamond waited until Shika and her people left to approach Farrah about using her name and putting her in harm’s way. By that time, Ace had made his way over to Farrah but seeing Kayla standing next to him triggered Diamond. Diamond walked right up with Duke right behind her, she wasn’t scared of Ace, not even a little bit.
“Next time you want to be a hoe and fuck with somebody else’s man, give themyourname!” Diamond spat as Farrah rolled her eyes.
“Diamond, please, where was this energy when those girls were just in your face?” Farrah shot back.
“Bitch please, I stay ready, win, lose, or draw. Yo scary, bird brain ass was on the verge of tears.”
“Diamond, gone somewhere,” Kayla finally spoke.
“You shut your dumb ass up, too, overly obsessed with this grown ass pedophile.”
Everybody’s mouths dropped to the ground. Diamond was on ten and anybody could get it.
“Bitch…” Ace stepped up, but Duke did, too.
