Layla pov

"Lay bby can you atleast out some effort in your apperance."

"Nothing is wrong with my outfit."

I looked in the mirror at my poetic justice tshirt and short grey pants with my socks and jordan 1s.

"Your hair is a mess to."

"Atleast its straightened."

"This is all that boy lontrell fault."

I rolled my eyes at the sound of his name. Then i remember i gotta go pick baby up from the store after school because am helping him catch up on his school work. I hope lontrell big headed ass aint there.

Dad was right all along. He wasn't shit just a bitch ass hoodlum. I want my v-card back to. I want back my time  and energy i spent slurping him up. That reminds me i need some sage and some of grandpa holy water.

"Layla go to school and stop thinking so hard." My mom said  breaking my thoughts, I look at the now crush water bottle in my hands. Ok i think i got anger issues.

"Bye ma.love you." I kissed her cheek and left out the door. I saw ziden on his walkway doing pushups. I rushed to my car so he wouldnt see me.

I needed 0 nigga interaction. Niggas aint shit. At all, especially lontrell. He is the king of bitch ass niggas.

Pulling up to campus i saw a group of children at a table. Probably some shitty club. I put on my hoodie and walked up the steps.

"Hi layla." Jurnee a latina girl who i knew from highschool said to me. I shaked my hand at her.

"I thought you were going to go to a college out of state."

" and i thought you were going to be pregnant.now move out my face." This dumb ass bitch tried me on the wrong mfucking day.

Entering class ol' dude who i met yesterday was at a desk sitting. So he is really a professor must be nice.

"Goodmorning to you to." I threw up the peace sign at him.

"Miss monr-"

"Look , i aint in the mood today aight." I watch his face drop as all the other students look at me.

"The hell yall looking at?" I asked before plugging in my headphones.

When class began i removed them and payed attention the best way i could. Taking notes and shit until the bell rung. I left out.

Then i saw i had lab in an hour or two. Great what the fuck am i gonna do now.

Kayla: what happened with you and lontrell?"

Layla: nothing.

I closed my phone off and sat at a table in the food court next to a red head girl with freckles.

"You got a gum?" She asked me.

"Nope."

I ate some skittles and read some notes i took today over. I couldn't help but notice a tall lightskin boy staring at me.

"What?" I asked him

"You good?"

"Yes."

He smiled showing his braces aww so cute. I couldn't help but smile back. He had genuine energy.

"I like your braces."

"Thanks. I like your smile."he told me.

He checked his phone and then he left the table. The red head girl smiled at me goofily.

"I see you flirting with jonah."

"That wasn't no flirting."

"You got lab ?"

"Yes what about you?"

"Yep and jonah got it to."

"Ok that doesn't mean anything."

"Yes it does." Only if she knew ya girl only into rough neck niggas. Not no polish polish  dude.

Lab class was 2 minutes away and kara. The girl i met at the table, and i walk to class. When we got there the only two seat left was at homeboy from earlier.

"This is faith girl." She said walking behind me.

"Shut up." I told her walking towards the seat.

"Hi jonah" kara said

"Hi kara." He replied

The teacher came in and on god this lady was hella old. Like skin leaving bone type of shit. She started talking about her life story. Like okkkkk. How will this benefit me?

"Ok so she is 59.wow." i heard jonah say.

"You good at math aint you?" I asked

"Something like that." He told me.

"59 and looks like that.omg i hope i age well."kara said

All three of us laughed.

"The three of you out." She barked at us.

"Damn now i know why she looks like that." Kara said laughing as we left the door.

Jonah met up with some other boys outside and we all decided to go to the mall.

"Bubblegum is nasty." Jonah said to me as i picked at his ice cream with my spoon.

"No its not but this cookies and cream is fire tho."

"You got an accent." He told me.

"I be in the urban areas alot."

"Oh explains alot."

"You not from here?" I asked him

"Nope am from cali."

"So why memphis?"

"My mom lives here."

"Oh."

My phone began to ring and i noticed it was baby. Oh shit i forgot about him.

"Hi."

"Hurry up na. Before the block gets hot." He told me.

"Jonah i gotta go.bye." i told him hugging him.

I got to the store and the first person i saw was lontrell big teeth ass laughing. I got out and went into the store getting hella snacks.

"So we going to the mall and chill with new niggas now." I heard lontrell said behind of me.

"Look i talk and chill with who i want to because clearly you to pussy to talk shit through with me. Now move i got shit to do."

I pushed passed him and payed for my stuff. As i walked out i saw him leaning on my car.

"You want niggas to get slimed out huh?"

"POOH YOU DONOT OWN ME OK." He grabbed me by my throat and started squeezing. As i fought to pull his hands off.i finally got it off

"when i cum in your pussy you became mines ok and i don't need to explain shit about how i feel to you. Actions speak louder than words. Think about that." He told me.

"When you drop the whole hood nigga demeanor step to me aight.i donot know when you are going to realize this little play you put on doesn't make you look tough it makes you look pussy as fuck."

"Mayne i don't got time for this bullshit aight. As i said you better off with someone in your category." I watch as he looked up the street then walked away.

Baby was already in the car fucking up snacks and playing music with my aux cord. Comfortable than a mfucker.
