Mistakes

Chapter 2| ii

I woke up from my nose being tickled just to find out it was Bahja's hair. She was laying all over me, I scoffed and moved from up under her slightly. I'm not going to lie, I was hurt. I'm offended whenever I get rejected because I feel like I'm not good enough. Is it just me who thinks her friend shouldn't get in the way of what could have been true love? Guess we'll never find out will we? I went into my suitcase and grabbed my lighter, walking out of the tent making sure to zip it back up. "Wash Room opens in 10 minutes." The camp intercome barked aloud. I lighted up the piles of tree bark and branches that were positioned in the middle and waited for it to spread before finding the kettle we was equipped with. I wasn't the type to drink natural hot tea, I was the type to drink sweet iced tea, but it'll have to do today. "Bahja the wash room opens in 10 minutes so get that ass up." I clapped. "Niko.....kiss my ass." She mumbled, changing positions. "Just tell me when, clean it first and I'll be more than willing." I laughed before going back to put my tea on.

"Oh My Gosh! Stop!!" I heard giggling from ahead. I looked up and seen Nique with Arin on her waist. "Awww." I teased. "What's up with you two love birds, I see you finally copped that." I dapped him. "Yea man, shit was a fight though. Ain't that right baby?" He kissed her cheek. "Mhmm." She mumbled. "You can't tease me tho Mr. Rodriguez." He laughed. "Ahh dude...that shit dead man." I put my head down, shaking it. "What happened? It wasn't damn near 24 hours yet and ya'll alreaady fucking up the relationship?" He asked concerned. "Nigga it wasn't a relationship from the jump, and my fault for assuming. She turned me down because one of her friends like me, and I'm like what does that have to do with us? Like.....like-like if her friend ain't come talk to me then what the fuck would she get mad for? Like that got me tight." I ranted. "So you and Bahja don't go out?" Nique jumped in. "That's what I just said." I replied smartly. She put her arms up in defense and went to grab her little hygiene bag. "I'm going to the wash rooms, I'll be back." She said putting on her flip flops and walking away. In that meantime, Bahja was up and ready to leave as well. "Where Nique going?" She asked with her tooth brush, toothpaste, body wash, and clean clothes sticking out of her bag. "To the wash rooms." Arin answered. "Oh shit. ZONNIQUE WAIT FOR ME!!" She jogged over to her as Nique stopped and turned around. "Girls, man....never want to be alone." Arin laughed.

"So how was your night?" I asked. "Like any other night....restful maybe, wasn't as comfortable as I'd like it to be but it'll do." Nique answered. "What you and Arin... talk about." I asked, trying not to make it seem like I care to be in her business....even though I do. "The norm...we just gave each other our life's story. That is all. What's going on between you and Niko?" She jumped straight to the point. "Girl, Bre told me she liked him so I fell back. Did you know about that?" I asked. "Yea, she told me a while ago." She answered. "Well, she deserves love more than I do at this point. It's like I can't stay in a relationship for more than six months. It's getting depressing. I am seriously about to give up on it for awhile....especially since Arin barely notices me as it is." I explained as Zonnique just nodded without a response. "I mean, ain't nothing wrong with just doing you Bahj...you don't need to have a boyfriend, it's just fun to have one. We need to just focus on graduating." She decided to say. "You're right." "Hey guys." A girl came up to us. "Hey what's up Nirvana." I greeted. "Hey!" Zonnique waved. "Nothing, I just wanted to know why ya'll didn't show up at the bonfire last night?" She asked, flipping her towel over her shoulder, getting in a shower line. "It was pretty lit. Besides the rain." She added while chuckling. "Eh, non of us were really feeling it..especially since we don't really fuck with nobody over here like that....with the acception of you of course." Zonnique cleared. "My group boring as hell. I might come chill with ya'll later okay?" She informed. "That's cool. We just straight ahead, not hard to find really." I said. "Cool." She smiled. "Well see ya'll later!" She stepped in the shower. "See yah!" Zonnique and I called out. Nirvana was a girl me and Nique met our sophmore year. We all actually used to hate each other because Nirvana used to be rude for no reason. That is until me and Zonnique remembered that people aren't just rude for no reason and something had to be going on in her environment for her to treat us that way. So we begged and kinda forced her to go out to lunch with us and we learned a lot of things about her. Not the typical getting beat at home, what shocked us was the fact she fell in love with her brother. When her parents found out all hell broke loose and her emotions went downhill from there. She was really pretty tho. Dark skinned, short cut styled hair with a royal purple dye at the top. She had an eye brown piercing along with snake bites. They surprisingly look great on her. She was pretty skinny, no boobs or butt, but it was okay because it fit her gothic style. She was beautiful. If I was a lesbian, I'd totally get with that. She's plays with the other team for real tho, but I don't mind, it doesn't bother me. Zonnique and I got in the shower together, we do this every once in awhile if we have to. We just wanted to save time. "Okay Zonnique damn, let me rinse off. Take all the damn hot water will yah?" That's the only problem sharing a shower with her, she stands under the shower head for decades like I don't have to use it either. Hogger.

"THEY WHAT?!" Bre exclaimed. "Yea? What you yelling for?" I scrunched my face up. "Brandon....when did all of this happen?" She asked. "Last night." I answered. "So let me get this straight. Arin asked Zonnique out....and she actually said yes." She tried to comprehend. "Correct." I said. "She said.....yes. As in an agreement. Like...they're in a relationship...right now." She repeated. "That's what I said. What's the problem?" I asked. "Wow.." She whispered.

Zonnique just betrayed the shit out of Bahja. I know you're not spposed to fight fire with fire and it's wrong to get even. But Zonnique knew better. She knew. I'm going to show her how it feels.
