The Flatbush Punany
By Jay Wright
CHAPTER ONE: WHO WE ARE?
It was a very cold morning of Feb. 4th, 1997. I have walked thru the front door of my home on
Anyway, as I stand here waiting for my squad in the freezing cold my eyes caught a glance at a nigga I been checking out for a long time. His name was David but in the hood he was known as Snake. Rumor has it, he got that nickname because of what’s in his pants. At that time of my life I never met too many junior high school brothers with a 10 incher. I always imagined when he grows up will his penis grow up along with him and get longer and longer and longer so long to where it can wrap around my neck.
I tried not to stare but who am I foolin’ I had the hots for him and I know, he knew so why front and hide it. I figure if I’m going to make my presence known I betta do it now until these dam bitches show up. So, I peeped him across the street by the B35 bus stop, I walked over to make my move now normally a lady don’t make moves on a brother especially when your F. P. Q. you make niggaz make moves on you. I swallowed my pride and hope I would be swallowing something else later. As I walked towards him, he looks at me and sees me comin’ with a smile of joy on his face. I went up to him and I told him my name, I said, “Hi, my name Sucking Serena and I want you”. Snake tripped after hearing that comment and said, “Wow, that’s bold of you, Serena”. I replied, Well, whatever a girl wants you know a girl gotta have it. (A penis is like a diamond it will always be my best friend) Snake asked, “Where are your girls at?” I was like, why do you want to know about my girls. I just wanna meet the rest of the freakiest girls in Walt Whittman, he replied. I told him straight to his face, I’m the leader of this crew you gotta fuck me first before you fuck them. Snake didn’t like being told what to do by a female. (Snake was one of those young thugs that would soon to be on a rise to power when him and his crew take over every corner in the fifties. Snake was runner for an O. G. named, Venom some Jamaican cat who lived on 53rd and Clarkson. Snake was Venom’s best young gee because he seen potential in him. Venom knew Snake was built for that game.) Me, girl all I wanted was a good time and a good time I will get because Snake and I exchange numbers then the B35 came and Snake got on it. As he turned his back and walked up the bus steps I just could not keep my eyes off that yummy tushy, um um um, as I lick my lips like LL. During all of that meet and greet time with my dream guy, my bitches still aint show up or call me. I know, its Feb. 4th and fucking cold out here….. I swear if it wasn’t for me runnin’ into Snake and talking I don’t know what would of happened. Seeing, Snake’s fine ass kept me warm. Okay, okay enuff with Snake, I decided to call my right hand bitch, Keisha to see what’s up? I called, Keisha and she answered, What up Se!!? Bitch, don’t… you what’s up, Se’ me, I replied. Keisha was like, “Se’, why you trippin”. At that point, I wanted to grab Keisha by her fucking neck and pull her through the phone. I said, bitch its freezing and I’m waiting for you bitches, where are the rest of the crew. (Keisha felt bad because she forgot to tell me that we were all invited to a hookie party at Big Mike’s house on
Once I got off the phone with Keisha, my next call was going to be to Nikki. I liked, Nikki she is really BRUTILE she stood out at 5”4’, now for a junior high schooler that’s hella tall. Nikki was the dominant one of the crew, she don’t take no bullshit from no dudes. Nikki, really hated boyz but loved girlz.
(I know sounds change considering that where called, The Flatbush Punany Queens) Nikki plans were to play for the otherside after she graduated from high school or unless she can find a real man that can make her say, “UUGHH, NANANA!!!” but until then she put up this straight front all through her adolescent years. The only reason why she’s doing it is because if her parents were to ever find out they would kick her ass and toss her ass out. (Serena’s thought: “The thing I never got though, her parents knew about her spreading her legs at 11 but yet lesbianism was a problem for them…. WHATEVER!!!)
I called, Nikki up and she answered. (Nikki always knew it was me because she had a special ringtone for me by Jodeci “Forever my lady”. Nikki had the hots for me, she didn’t think I knew but I knew, who could blame her, I was a dime piece.) “I said, what’s up Nikki Poo”, “she replied Hey Se Se, where you at?” I replied back, “I’m on Church & Brooklyn by Roscos, what this I hear about a hookie party at Big Mike’s house.” “Yeah, girl its going on today, you know Mike’s folks work till 9. Why, didn’t you know, Nikki replied. Serena with anger in her voice said, it seems that my so called right hand bitch of mine Keisha forgot to tell me last night. Nikki replied, “girl you need to talk to Keisha that bitch been slippin lately. Fucking Ronaldo everyday got that bitch mind all fucked up. “Besides Se Se its yours fault I told you to make me your right hand in marriage bitch. (Nikki was always crazy) Nik, you know I can’t do that yet. Lets just enjoy as much dick as possible...but later girl…when we’re older, you and I, okay. Nikki, just said, “WHATEVER!!!” (Serena can hear the disappointment in Nik’s voice) Serena asks, Nik, where you at? She replied, I’m on my block you wanna come over here so we can walk over to Big Mike’s together. Serena replied, I’m on my way and to keep me company on the phone, boo. (Nikki, she lived on Brooklyn & Clarendon).
Serena, walk down
I met Nikki on the corner of Brooklyn & Clarendon by the ganja spot. Nikki always had trees on her, she said one her cousins work there. I greeted Nikki with a kiss on the cheek and she always greeted me with the usual squeeze of my ass. Once we met up with one another we began walking up Clarendon towards Big Mike’s block. (everytime I met up with Nik alone she always wanted us to walk like we’re a couple, holding my hand and touching me.) I didn’t trip too much I actually enjoyed the love and lust from her.
Once we reached E. 49th st. & Clarendon, standing in front of Big Mike’s home. Nik turns to me and says, “Se Se, whatever happens in there I got you remember that. Serena says, “I was like girl what are you talking about?”
Nik replies back, “Se Se, just remember, I got you okay (more words of assurance coming from Nikki). (Serena gettin’ fed up) Nik, whut tha fuck is going on…. Nik, I’m okay, okay, okay can we go in now, as (Serena patience run thin.) We walked up to the porch and rang the bell. One of Mike’s homies answered the door, I aint know who he was but the brother was FOIIIIIINE!!! I asked him, aren’t you going to introduce yourself… he grinned but a cute grin and said his name is, Alex. I attempted to introduce ourselves when Alex stopped us and said, “Ladies, please y’ all don’t need no introduction in these parts. The whole dam
Nikki and I, we met the rest of the crew, first one we ran into, Pam, a sexy light skinned lil’ sumthin’ of a girl who in life no matter how old she gets she will never have to use knee pads on her men. (Pam had the same sexual animosity like Serena and the rugged street appeal like Nikki. Pam would whup a nigga ass if a nigga got outta line she just didn’t have Nikki’s temper. However, if Pam ever needed help whuppin a nigga’s ass, she always had her older brother, Dimebag from
Next is Diana, a pretty Spanish mommie with a Jennifer Lopez booty and will never let you hear the end of it. So we all met, Diana apologized for the bus stop situation earlier. Serena ignored her, until Pam and Nikki was screaming her name in her ear. I’m sorry, my mind drifted, “Where is Keisha?” , Serena said. (all the girls paused) Serena asked that question again, “Where is Keisha?” (Diana whispered in Serena’s ear “Se’ you might feel Keisha anymore.”) “What the fuck is going on here?”, as Serena screamed it aloud. (Serena is starting to lose it.) Nikki, all fucking morning I’m hearing shit about Keisha, where the fuck is she? Nikki, with her sarcastic tone, she’s over there with one of your products. (Products was what we called the boyz we slept with. Each girl in the crew had their own product) I looked over and my face curled in anger as I see, my so called bestfriend, Keisha bumpin’ and grindin’ with a boy I met from Shellbank named, Jared. Where I was standing, I could see Jared enjoying himself and his dick burstin’ through his fake ass Roc A Wear jeans because of erection. (Number 1 rule in the F. P. Q., every bitch has their own product and no one fucks with another bitches product.) Serena, had enuff of the watching, Keisha n Jared get their freakin on, on the dancefloor. I walked over towards them Jared notice me comin’ over so he started to slow down with the dancing but Keisha’s back was turned, totally unaware I was standing behind her so she just kept on dancing. I guess she couldn’t hear from the sounds of the cheap ass Coby radio sittin’ in the corner of the living room. I just stood behind Keisha with my hands crossed with my bitch look on. Jared leaned towards Keisha and said, “You know Serena standing right behind you.” Keisha, blurted out loud and clear “FUCK SERENA!!!” By that time a vow of silence as the radio was quickly turned off and the crowd stopped and stared. Ugh Ugh Ugh, a tickle from Serena’s throat followed by a tap on Keisha’s shoulder…. lead by this question “Do you mind repeating that again, bitch?” At this point, Keisha is startled and turns around to face Serena with such fear and shock. Keisha tried to explain but the sound of the palm of Serena’s hand going across her cheek wouldn’t allow her to speak as she fell to the floor. Everyone in the room is amped including the host, Big Mike. Big Mike says to Serena, “Dam girl remind me to never forget your birthday!” Keisha is tight because she can feel blood on her cheek and maybe what seems like an imprint of Serena’s ring imported in her skin. Keisha gets up and yells, “SERENA, IT’S ON BITCH!” Keisha wanted to throw down that’s when Nikki got involved and stepped in between them. Nikki was like, “No, not here, F. P. Q. disputes do not get exposed, handled nor resolved in public we will handle this later back at the crib.” Serena, was so upset she wasn’t trying to hear Nikki or see Keisha. She left the house and went on the porch for some fresh air. As I stood on Big Mike’s porch thinkin’ about what just went down I received a phone call from the one person who made me happy all day. (It was Snake, at first I didn’t recognize his number and unaware it was Snake) Serena picks up her phone and says, “ Hello” a voice responds, “Hey Buttercup!” Serena replies, “Who the fuck is this?” (Probably not, the greeting he expected) Snake replies, “Its Snake, you met me this morning” …. Oh sorry, sorry, I’m so sorry about that its been a fucked up morning and the day aint nuthin’ going too good for me today, maybe I should of went to school today. Snake replied, “Have no fear baby, I got what you need. Where you at and what you doing right now? Serena was like dude, “You a fed or sumthin what the deal askin’ me all these questions.” Snake put on his game, “Nuh, I aint no fed just a horny teenager looking for some company for the afternoon.” (The impression on Serena’s face was goofy. She should be happy people can not see you through phones.) Serena tells Snake, right now I’m at this bullshit hookie party. Snake asked, How far is it from 51st & Church. Serena told, Snake I’m 1 block from
Nikki was hurt and embarrassed only a few people from the party seen what Serena did to her. Nikki started to leave until Pam and Diana came out, “Hey Nik, don’t worry about Serena she’s upset over the whole Keisha incident don’t let that spoil your fun come back inside girl.” Keisha comes out of the house and tries to talk with Nikki but Nikki don’t wanna hear conversation from her, she wanna rip Keisha’s head off. Keisha standing there just saying, “What did I do?” Simultaneously the girls reply, “You know what you did you dam slut?” (Keisha paused) and hits them with a knifty come back, “Well, aint that 3 pots callin’ 3 kettles black technically its 4, where is Miss Serena? Diana said, “It’s 5 you moron, unless you don’t wanna be apart of us anymore”. Pam second it, “Yeah!, you don’t wanna be apart of us anymore?” “(Keisha’s real beef is not with the rest of the members of FPQ, her main issue is with Serena. Ever since kindergarten, Serena always had the boyz coming to her yard. These girls are in the 8th grade now, next year they’re going to be in high school. Keisha reached that point that FPQ is jhs nonsense.)” Keisha just replys “You know I would love to stay and chat with you ladies about this but Jared and I are off, ta ta”.
