A short from 2006

“What are you doing?”
“I'm lying face down on the bed.”
“Oh my, what's wrong?”
“Nothing in particular, everyone else is watching some movie on UPN.”
“Oh.”
“Yep, and I had to leave when the choir director did the electric slide.”
“Do you think that the people who make these movies know that things like that don't really happen in all black churches?”
“I'm not sure, but God how I loathe UPN!”
“Umph, well maybe we just go to a bad black church.”
“ I guess so. Our choir director won't even get up from the piano when she's playing.”
“ Pathetic, what do you all pay her for!”
“I don't know. I think some girl outside is about to kill her boyfriend, she just yelled at him and I heard it through the window.”
“Wow, she must be really mad”
“Yeah, so what did you do today”
“I'm reading for bio.”
“I read, but then my eyes started to bleed and I stopped. Now I'm listening to my French podcast”
“Remember when reading was fun? Do you remember getting your Scholastics pack at the beginning of summer and being excited?”
“Yeah, that seems so long ago and far away.”
“Yes, it does”
“Wow, I hear music?”
“What is it?”
“I don't know, some slowed down song. Chopped and Screwed. I'm going to go look out the window.”
“Ok. So what do you see?”
“There's some boy in a throwback jersey yelling to his girlfriend about how he's not going anywhere, and how he loves her.”
“Aww!”
“ I know, that's so sweet. He has the doors open and the top of his Corvette down. It's a shame that the only other time you see things like this are in Neyo videos, but well that sort of ..”
“Defeats the purpose.”
“Yeah, especially since Ebony just ran an article about his wild sexploits.”
“You read Ebony?”
“Yeah, it was the issue with Will and Jada on the cover and.”
“Ah yes, God bless Will Smith. God bless him just for being sexy.”
“I know. Oh, the girl is coming over to him. I think they made up, she's hugging him.”
“Aww!”
“Yeah”
“But I bet he did something really dirty.”
“Yeah, probably.”
