Get It Girls Read Free

grinned wickedly and embraced.
    “Why the fuck do I keep you as a friend?” Vonda wondered out loud as she patted Tiny’s hair back into place.
    “’Cause without me, your life would be boring.” Tiny snickered.
    “No, because she would get that ass kicked every day if it wasn’t for you.” Jessica grinned as she playfully patted Tiny on her head.
    They began to fix their clothing back into place and used their fingers to restyle their hair and walked down the stairs to the train station.
    “They really wanted to get our asses, huh?” Vonda asked.
    They all nodded, and Jessica asked, “Yo, was it me or did I hear that fat bitch Cookie yelling, ‘Get it in, girls’?”
    “Yes, she did,” said Vonda. “‘Get it, girls. Get their asses, girls.’ Shit, I felt like we were being chased by a pack of hungry wolves or something.”
    All the girls started cracking up. After their adrenaline rush subsided, reality once again struck them and Jessica said, “But, yo, them bitches is serious, so we can’t walk on 7th or Lenox Avenue no time soon.”
    They all looked down and agreed with a nod.
    “We could just catch the train on 135th instead of here from now on,” Lynn suggested. “We only got two months left till we all graduate. We lay low for the summer, and after that we don’t have to worry about them bitches forever.”
    They collectively discussed it for a moment and agreed to avoid their rivals by lying low. “So that’s what it is,” said Vonda. “Watch each other’s back from now till we go off to college.”
    They all nodded. They watched the train pulling into the station and Vonda added, “We are now wanted girls, so we got to be on point.”
    Fear once again was in their eyes and Vonda saw it and joked, “We not just wanted girls, but we are the Get ’Em Girls.”
    A smile instantly came across all their faces.
    Lynn asked, “So, is that the name of our crew now? Are we the Get ’Em Girls crew?”
    All at once, the girls began to nod and agree. One by one, each stuck out her fist and put it together in the center. In unison they said, “Get ’Em Girls!”

Chapter 2
     
    W hen Jessica arrived home with her younger brother Jordan, she immediately began to follow her mother’s orders and took out some frozen meat from the freezer. She paused for a moment and listened closely. “Jordan, cut that Atari off and get to your homework, now!”
    The sound coming from his room instantly stopped, and she became suspicious. She knew her brother, and she also knew that he didn’t take well to being told what to do that quickly, so she quietly began climbing the stairs to his bedroom. She listened at his door for a second and thought she heard the handling of the Atari controllers patting away. She rushed in his room. Just as she thought; he’d only turned the volume down on the television and continued playing the game.
    “Aha!” yelled Jessica as she ran toward her little brother and snatched the controller out of his hands. “Jordan, you think I’m that stupid? You know Mama said you have to do your homework before you get on these games.”
    “Come on, Jessica,” Jordan pleaded. “My friend at school let me borrow his game till tomorrow, and I’m just testing it out for a minute, that’s all.”
    “Jordan, you know that if Mama comes home and finds you playing these games without your homework being done she’s going to yell at me too for letting you.”
    “But, Mama ain’t getting home for another two hours, and I’ll be finished with my homework by then, Jessica.”
    “Mommy isn’t getting home,” Jessica corrected, “and I’m not going to get yelled at, so the quicker you get your homework done, the quicker you can get back to your game.”
    Jordan felt wounded and put on the pouting face. Jessica stared at her twelve-year-old brother and instantly felt sad. Jessica and Jordan always had a deep affection toward each other and were extremely close ever since he was born
