Ginny

Bestfriends with Benefits

"I'm not ready to see Abby." I said as me and Marcus walked down the sidewalk to school, "Why not?"

"Well everything I said was true, but I was so angry for no reason." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and looked at me, "Don't worry about Abby, she was just jealous."

I nodded and we opened the school doors and walked down the hallway. People stared at us and I was so confused, so I walked to this random girl.

"Why's everyone staring?" "Oh it's because someone airdropped a picture of you guys kissing. We think you're a couple. Are you?" She asked eagerly.

"Nope just bestfriends with benefits." Me and Marcus said in unison then walked away to were the group was.

"I saw that spicy kiss." Maxine said, "I'm sure you have Max, I wonder who airdropped it." I looked at Abby and she shrugged and looked away.

"So are y'all really together?" Brodie asked drinking water which I was pretty sure it was actually tequila.

"Nope." I sat on Max's lap and we cuddled together. "Brodie's having a party tonight, wanna come?" I looked at Marcus who was sitting in a chair beside us and he nodded.

"Yeah I'll be there. What's been going on with you and that girl?"
"Oh Sophie, omg I like her so much, I'm pretty sure I love her honestly." She continued to ramble as I laid my head on her shoulder.

Today was a free day at school so everyone was either in the hallway or in a class depending on what grade you were in.

Some girls across the hall blasted music and it was a TikTok remix. I jumped up and walked over to them and started dancing. They were some of the few black girls that went to this school.

Slowly people started to dance with us and I pulled my pants up and sat back down and watched as all the sophomores had fun.

"You don't look like your having fun." I looked over to Marcus and he shrugged. "I don't do this type of thing."

"Well looks like you are today." I stood up and grabbed his hands and we started to dance together. "I'm finna bounce that ass and pop that ass and drop it like a shoot out! Pulled them panties down, he smiling like they brought the food out!" I sung as Max twerked on me.

She started to throw it back on me, "Ayy!" I laughed and looked back at Marcus, again who was standing there looking weird.

I started to throw it back on him and WAP came on. Your probably wondering were the principle is and the teachers are.

I don't fuckin know either, but I'm havin fun.
I stood back up and Marcus turned me around and backed me against the wall in a hallway. He buried his head in my neck and grabbed my hips.

"Can't be doing that shit here." "What?" I said acting innocent, he didn't say anything but squeezed my hips.

I placed my arms around his neck and we hugged each other. He tapped my thigh and I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Sometimes I feel real lonely." He said, "Why's that?"

"Max is always with Abby, and my parents are either working or doing stuff for the neighborhood. But you give me the attention I need."

"Well trust me when I say that I'm going through something too. No one notices that I'm actually hurting inside, cause they expect me to be the fun and outgoing girl."

"I noticed, that smile that you wear on your face everyday is fake. And don't think I didn't see those scars on your thighs."

"I know you saw them. My mom thinks everything's fine, she a good mom but she doesn't catch small details. If I never told her that we had sex she wouldn't of known."

"Well I'll make sure that there will be a real smile on your face."

For the party I decided to wear mom jeans, a spaghetti strap crop top, and some slip on sandals. I just wore my hair down and some concealer and lipgloss.

I thought I looked pretty.

Walking downstairs, my mom was sitting on the couch talking to some guy. "Who's this?" I asked sitting down next to her.

"Peach this is Paul, he's the mayor actually." I gave her a look that said we would talk about it later and looked back at Paul. "I'm Ginny, Georgia's daughter."

"Nice to meet you Ginny, your mom has been helping out a lot around the neighborhood for the past few weeks."

"Well that's great ain't it?" The door bell rang and I stood up and opened the door. "Look at you bestie." I said smirking at Marcus.

"You look beautiful." He wrapped me in a hug and we stood there for a moment.

"Don't have too much fun Ginny, and Marcus I trust you don't change that." My mom said and he nodded.

"Alright let's go."
