It's always been you (Shelby and Toni story)

Part 37

Toni pov

"Come on Toni you have to get up and get ready" Martha spoke

I groaned

"Marty I don't wanna go" I said rubbing sleep out my eyes

"Toni you know you can't miss a day or you won't have all your credits" Martha spoke

"I know, I'm just not in the mood today" I responded

"I know Toni but you really can't afford missing one day" Martha says

"You're right" I said letting out a puff

I got out of bed slowly and started getting ready

* At School

Shelby have been trying to talk to me all day today, and I wanted to talk to her but every time I look at her I think about what and her father did in their own house and it makes me sick

I was sitting at the lunch table with the rest of the group, when Shelby sat beside me I tensed up

"Toni can we talk?" She asked and I could tell she was sad maybe because I been ignoring her all day

"Shelby... I just don't wanna talk to you right now" I responded

"Can you please let me explain please" she pleaded

I stayed silent

She sighed in frustration, I don't know why she's frustrated, I should be the one frustrated

"Trouble in paradise? Fatin asked

"Fuck off" I spoke with a hit of anger

"Yeah, not now Fatin" Shelby spoke

Fatin put her hands up in surrender

After a few awkward seconds of silence Nora broke it

"So Toni, did y'all make it to the championship?" She asked

I shook my head

"We got to win our game tomorrow to make it to the championship" I responded

"Well that should be easy" Fatin says

"Yeah it will be" I responded

"I don't know, the team y'all playing is a very good team, they haven't lost a game this year, y'all lost 3 games this year, and the teams y'all lost to that team skunked them" Rachel spoke

"The games we lost I wasn't in two of them, ima be in this game for sure" Toni responded

"Yeah, we got Toni, so our school definitely winning" Martha says

"Okay but the team our girls are playing against tomorrow has this one girl who is 16 years old and 7 ft tall and I'm not even exaggerating, she average 40-50 points every game cause no one can stop her because she's to tall, she don't even have to jump to dunk the ball" Rachel spoke

"I bet I can stop her" I spoke

"Toni you're to her knees" Rachel says

"Please you're over exaggerating" Dot said taking a bit of her burrito

"She's probably like Leah's height, she can't be 7 ft at 16 years old" I said rolling my eyes

"She makes Leah look like a midget" Rachel responds

"Impossible, Leah, how tall are you?" I asked

"Leave me out of this" Leah responded flipping to another page in her book
