Gay Ass negro.
Summary[]
As the first day of high school approaches, Monse returns from writing camp to find that Ruby and Jamal are on the outs with Cesar.
Plot[]
The episode begins with a flashback to before Monse left for camp. The crew are peeking over a wall at a party. Ruby fantasizes about a gang members girlfriend when said gang member ambushed him from behind, grabbing his shoulder and threatening him. He stops when Ceaser shows up, and Ruby thanks Oscar, or in this case, Spooky, to which Ceaser responds with disdain. That is when a gunshot is heard and the crew starts running, arguing about what type of caliber bullet it is, but as the third one rings out, they all exclaim ".44!" and run to Ruby's house to see Mario and his girlfriend arguing. He comes in and says that the crew will need each other if they intend on surviving high school. This is the end of the flashback.
The next scene begins with Monse walking down the sidewalk, smiling with her braces off to which a neighbor responds: "Stop flaunting!" Monse crosses her arms and keeps walking and crosses paths with Mario, outside his girlfriends house begging for forgiveness. She enters Ruby's house to come across Jamal and Ruby decorating Ruby's new room. She asks them if they see anything new about her, and they both respond with: "You got boobs."
