It's Nala's senior year at Cherry Creek High School. She's been running track since Freshman year and this is her final year to get scouted by LSU. She wasn't going to let anything distract her from getting into her dream school. What will she do wh...

I stood back and waited after I knocked on her window. I can't believe she had this nigga over here. Well at least it looked like she had somebody over here.
Moments later her curtains were drawn and she appeared dressed in an oversized white T-shirt. My anger subsided as I laid eyes on her. She looked so sexy in something so simple. I can tell she didn't have anything on underneath either.
"Sebastian what thee fuck could you possibly want?" She asked irritated as she opened the window
"I need to talk to you." I said
"For the last time we have nothing to talk about! Leave me the hell alone."
"Nala please it's important." I said grabbing her arm
"Well it's going to have to wait, I'm busy right now."
The faint sound of the song Bad Dream/No Looking Back by Syd could be heard from where I was standing. I try to look past her and into the room but she blocked my view.
"Busy doing what exactly?" I questioned
"Sebastian if what you need to talk to me about is so important, I suggest you turn the fuck around and go back to your house. I'll come see you in the morning or something."
He had to be in there. Between the music, the lights, and how secretive she was being he had to be. I needed to talk to Nala so the rest of my questions will have to wait.
"Fine. See you in the morning."
She rolled her eyes before closing her window and shutting her curtains. I stood there for a moment hoping to hear a voice to confirm that he was indeed in there but then I remember Nala's room was soundproof. That's how we got away with our sneaky links. There was no avoiding me tomorrow morning.
We were going to have this conversation whether she liked it or not.
Chris
"I'm so sorry Chris, apparently that nigga is hard of hearing." Nala said walking back over towards me
"Well maybe I need to help that nigga hear a little better." I said adjusting my stance
"That wouldn't be smart."
"So you're protecting him?" I raised an eyebrow
"No I'm protecting us." She sighed "How would going to beat his ass help any of this?"
She was right but I was angry. I told her to cut that shit off yet this nigga still popping up. She failed to mention that the nigga lived right next door to her. I hated that she was keeping things from me. That's how it started with Trinity and I'll be damned if I get played again.
"You still fucking with him?"
"You're not seriously asking me that are you?" She looked at me
"Does it look like I'm playing with you Nala?"
"Wow alright then."
"Answer the qu-..."
"I'm not fucking Sebastian!" She cut me off "You watched me cut that nigga off, and quite honestly I was going to do that shit anyways because he was too fucking clingy. I can't believe you would sit here and even ask me if I would do some shit like that to you!" She yelled "Chris I've allowed you to see my vulnerable side and was open to things I've never done and would never do with any other guy. Why the hell would I double back to him when I'm building something completely new with you?"
I never would think that Nala would actually cheat on me much less with Sebastian but I also never thought Trinity would either. As much as I'm falling for Nala, I gotta guard my heart first.
"Why didn't you tell me you guys were neighbors then?"
"Well for starters his ass isn't relevant enough to bring up in our conversations. Even if I did tell you, what would that do for you Chris, just get you angry like you are now?"
"Don't do that." I shook my head
"Do what Chris?" She approached me
"I got every right to question if you still fucking with that nigga! If he bold enough to come knocking at your window at this time of night, what other shit is he bold enough to do huh?" I questioned "How I know he wasn't just over here last night or the night before that?"
"Chris he's fucking with Skai!"
As she said that I instantly felt stupid for letting my insecurities get the best of me. What the hell was I even thinking questioning her like this. Despite what happened between me and Trinity that was past and I shouldn't have compared Nala to her. Nala's never given me a reason not to trust her anyways. I mean between track and our relationship we were with each other basically 24/7. If she's not sleeping she's training, and if she's not training she's with me. I mean the girl didn't even have time for herself. Much less time to cheat.
"Nala I'm-..."
"Chris you should go." She sighed looking away from me
"Baby please." I said wrapping my arms around her waist "I'm so sorry, I should've never-..."
"Just save it Chris and go." She said pulling away from me. "My life is already stressful right now and instead of helping me to relieve it you're adding to it."
"I don't wanna leave you here alone." I said stepping towards her
"Well you should've thought of that before you started accusing me of cheating on you!"
Tears brimmed in her eyes. As one fell she quickly wiped it away and she cursed herself as she walked to the bathroom slamming the door behind her. I sighed and grabbed a T-shirt and some shorts out my bag to put on before leaving. I grabbed my bag and went up to the bathroom door jiggling the handle only to find it locked. I sighed leaning my head against the door. Every time I get her to open up I always end up giving her a reason to just shut back down on me. I hated that I was the reason she was crying but it looked like she hated the fact that I even saw her crying even more.
I grabbed my keys and headed out towards the same door we came in. I looked to make sure no one was in sight before moving quickly around the corner to my car. Once I got in my car I was hesitant to drive off. Tomorrow was when we left for State and I didn't like us leaving on these terms. It wasn't good for our relationship and it wasn't gonna help her focus either.
