NIAOMI'S POV

Its all happening again. I can sense it. Nobody's talking to me, just staring. As Kelly and I made our way to lunch the whispers grew louder. We sat in our usual spots and everyone at the table stopped.

"So your gay?" Keisha asked finally breaking the silence. As soon as she said these words everybody at the table stopped and looked my way. Especially Duante with pleading eyes. I took a deep breath.

"Yeah" I replied nonchalantly. Everybody at the table said a simple oh and went back to what they were doing except Duante and Chris.

"So your gay too Kelly?" Chris asked.

"Nah" Kelly said already annoyed by the fact he was talking to her.

"So that's why Miss Bougie didn't want to go out with a homie. Man bro I feel bad for you." Chris said to Duante. Out of nowhere a big dude speaking Spanish into a phone appeared behind me.

"...OK I see her. I know what to do vato. Bye. Your Niaomi right?" He said looking straight at me the whole time with unreadable eyes.

"Yes sir." He made his way towards me and handed me a Chipotle bag with a note attached to it. It read, "Have a great lunch baby! From: Loco" I can't believe she remembered me saying how much Chipotle is my life. It was really sweet.

"Thank you." I said with smile to the Fat Joe look alike.

"Oh she was right. You do have a pretty dimple." He said with a smile. He inched in closer to me. He was close enough to talk in a whisper, but he choose to talk loudly to make his self known.

"Let me know if you have ANY problems with ANYONE. Because I have strict orders from the heir to take care of ANYONE who hurts you." He said with a firm voice standing tall. As he was talking everybody got uncomfortable in their seats, and chose to keep their whispers to themselves.

"Yes sir." I said knowing Reina sent him for me after I told her about everything that has happened to me with all the silent torment. He soon made his way towards the door and left not being stopped by any of the teachers once. After he left the whisper that didn't already die slowly started quieting down. I took my tray out of the bag and looked in. It had everything I liked, especially extra steak.

"Girl, you are so lucky she likes you." Kelly said eyeing my food. Since she was my friend I spooned some on her tray. I hope she know if we weren't cool my black self would have been greedy as a mug. I pulled out my phone and texted Reina wanting to thank her.

"Thank you so much for the food."

"No problem ma. You know I got you..." I could already imagine the smile on her face."...So are you still coming to see me after school?"

"Of course, I'm about to leave anyway." I loved the fact that seniors get half days at my school. Kelly and I gathered our stuff and was out. As we were heading out I was expecting to see stuff written on my car. Instead I was greeted by my still freshly washed car. We jumped in and was on our way.

We got there and waited for them to come out. Soon Jayla walked out with some angry Latina following close behind her yelling. I couldn't hear what she was yelling about, but it was probably about Jayla messing with a another girl while with her. I still haven't apologized to her about the way I acted at her party. I knew it was the perfect time to step in and say something.

"Hey Jayla." I said stepping in front of the girl. The Latina looked me up and down and huffed. As Jayla turned around she had annoyed look on her face until she saw me.

"Whattup cuzzo." She said giving me a hug.

"I know you didn't just interrupt my conversation!" The Latina said interrupting my conversation.
