The Next Day
I had to go back to school. I knew everybody was gon be acting all crazy about Kimma dying. I really ain't wanna hear shit about it. I was gonna try to get over it like Terren said.
Third Period-Physics
Shiya came in and sat next to me like she was allowed to be in my presence. "What the fuck are you doing?" I asked her, calmly. "Sitting," she replied. "No, you need to find a new seat before we have a problem," I told her. She smiled. "Over a seat? Royce, I never knew you was so petty," she said. "You know damn well this ain't just over no fucking seat, bitch. Get the fuck away from me 'fore I beat yo ass, Shiya," I said.
Mr. Wells quickly came in the class. "What is the problem?" He asked. Everyone was silent. "You need to move this bitch 'fore she get her ass beat," I told him. He looked surprised. "I expect you should be able to handle these problems on your own since you all are seniors," he said.
Shiya got up and moved a couple seats behind me. "Royce's just mad cuz her friend got killed being a hoe,"she said. Of course i wasn't gonna let that shit slide.
All i remember is running and jumping on her. After that, all i could see was blur and blood. All I heard was screaming and laughing until Terren came in and pulled me away.
"What the fuck was that, Royce?" He said sitting me down in the library next door. I tried to calm down. "She said something bout Kimma?" He asked. I just nodded. He sighed. "You crazy," he said handing me some paper towel. I wiped the blood off my hands. "Is this mine?" I asked. He shook his head. "Good," I said, "and how the hell you get in there so fast?" "Cuz I was in gym and we had to do laps," he replied. The security guards came in and took me to the principal.
"So what happened?" Principal Brown asked. "I asked her to get away from me several times and she wouldn't. Then she wanted to get smart and say some shit about Kimma," I explained. "Where's Kimma?" She asked. I felt like I wanted to punch her in the mouth. "She's dead," I said through my teeth. I started shaking. I felt my fist getting tighter and tighter. "Oh. Wow. I didn't know that. When did that happen?" She asked. "I don't wanna talk about it. If you're gonna suspend me, can you hurry up and do it?" I said. She gave me a surprised look. "I understand you're hurt, Ms. Braer, but there's no need for you to be rude," she said. I sighed. "Can Terren come in here?" I asked. She shrugged. "Sure," she said.
I got up and opened the door for him. "What she gettin?" He asked. "15 days," Ms. Brown replied. "No. I can't get three weeks, Ms. Brown, I have too much stuff to do. I gotta take my finals and my SAT. I gotta finish my chemistry project. I can't do all that at home. I'm not gonna graduate on time," I said. "You should've thought about that before you jumped on that girl and broke her nose. Maybe Mr. Jackson can help you since you seem to be such a devoted couple," she said with a smile. She handed me the discipline note and told us to leave.
