Back in middle school, me and some of my friends were chilling after school chopping it up. In one of our conversations, we were talking about this one cat that rode on our bus. Just the other day I was hanging in the neighborhood and homie that rides our bus asked me if I could "loan him a goat". At the time I had no idea what it meant so I just said "nah" and kept it moving. I brought it up during our conversation and my friends let me know what he meant...we joked about it for a while and I said,
jokingly, "next time he says that I'm gonna slap the shyt out of him".
Fast forward a few days later, me, 3 of my homies, and about 5 cats that hung out with homeboy on the bus were chilling at a pool area not too far from the bus stop after school. As we were all just chillin, the dude suddenly comes thru to kick it with his friends. Immediately, he begins asking everyone sitting at the table if they can "loan him a goat". As soon as he asked me, one of my friends, instantly, was like "Yo Reggie, you remember what we was talking about the other day
"....and another one chimes in "Yoooo I remember! Aye you gonna let him say that?
". Feeling the pressure from my friends, I reluctantly rise from my seat, look the guy in the face, and promptly slap him....it was so bad that you could literally see my handprint in his face. As soon as it happened, everyone began cracking up....his homeboys, still laughing, were like "bro you just gonna let him do that to you
" and he began copping pleas like " Bu-bu- but Reggie is just playing around right?
". His homeboys continued to clown him until they just told him to leave.
I legit felt really bad afterwards because I didn't actually mean it when I said I would slap him. I was actually pretty cool with him too. Watching him get ethered in front of everyone and not doing a thing about it was too much of an embarrassment...I kinda hoped he would at least retaliate in some way
