Two-Faced Trouble

Chapter Five

**At Crestway Mall**
**Jariyah POV**

  "Aye, J, what's up with Valerie?" Asks Celia with her mouth full of cheeseburger.

  "You had better chew your food before you choke!" I say lightly.

  "The only time she chokes is when she givin' head!" Amaya says loudly. Celia jumps up and slaps her food off the table. I grab my plate and watch from the next booth.

"YOU SHOULD KNOW I DON'T DO THAT! HOW DARE YOU, AMAYA!" Celia says and slaps her again.

"Oh yeah, you only choke if it's too much! I thought Jay said you was up for anything!"Amaya says and throws a punch. My jaw drops. Amaya used to be so good, now she throwin punches?! Celia throws punch after punch and knocks 'Maya glasses off. Maya gets real mad and she start going crazy on CeCe but she gets stopped with a punch in the throat and a kick in the cat.

  " 'MAYA! CALM DOWN! Now both y'all butts better sit down or I will start swinging!" I yell. We catch stares from people and I see a woman cover her kid's eyes. I take the opportunity to give the woman a nice gentle flip of the middle finger.

"Oops! Sorry, it slipped," I say sarcastically. Turning back to Amaya and Celia, I take a deep breath.

"Now, about Valerie. Jason is cheating on her and she is very upset. She has no idea who it is and she is just a little out of it, okay," I say annoyed. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a very fat man in a suit come towards us.

  "Excuse me, ladies, I was told there was a . . .disturbance here. Is everything alright?" He says. We all ignore him and I roll my eyes, finally speaking, 'cause his big ol' spare tire invadin my food.

"Excuse me, Lord Fatso! We tryna eat here and you interruptin our meal. Does it look like there was a 'disturbance'?" I ask.

"Ma'am, we are just checking. Sorry for interrupting you," he says and walks off.

"A$$hole," I whisper. We finish our food and exit the food court.

As we walk around the mall, someone unexpectedly shows up.

  "Look! It's Jason," Amaya says.

  "At Forever 21? He don't shop there. He's an American Apparel kind of guy. So why he there?" I ask.

"Let's find out!" Amaya says, pulling us into the store. We hide behind a rack of bikinis and I happen to find one I like. I pick it up and walk to the register but CeCe yanks my arm.

  "Wait!" She whisper-yells. I mug her and look at Jason. He's walkin with his arm around -- JAZMIN!? That bxtch! He kisses her and grabs her butt. Ew. She flat in the back ANYWAYS. They walk out and I jump out from behind the rack.

"Jazmin? He's with Jazmin?" I say, walking to the register. I am buying this bikini whether it's March or not. Besides, Spring Break is coming up.

  "But she was so nice to Valerie. . ." CeCe says from behind me. I swipe my card and we leave the store. As I walk out, I look in the direction that Jason headed. I see Jazmin if only for a second and I look at her and shake my head. Her face turns bright red as she turns back around and drops her head in embarrassment.

"I'm going to kill that bxtch!" Amaya says.

"C'mon," I say. We walk in the opposite direction towards the exit.
