The Meta Six

chapter 2

(Excuse my typos)

POV: Justus Carter (pronounced "justice")

"What are you doing, Hakeem, cover me, bro!" Tyler screamed, gripping the controller even tighter.

"Bro just go, it's all clear man, quit all that screaming!" Hakeem retorted. Tyler got up from where he was crouched in the game and immediately got shot. I chuckled to myself.

"AGAIN?!" he screamed "HAKEEM I SAID COVER ME, MAN"!

"I'm sorry," he said laughing, "I thought it was all clear man"
Hakeem and Tyler have been my closest friends for as long as I can remember.

Tyler is Hispanic, stands at 6'3 tall, and has short curly hair. Hakeem is Dark skin, 6'6" with dreadlocks. Tyler is the goofiest of the three of us. He never fails to say or do something stupid. Hakeem is the smartest of the three of us. He's goofy but not nearly as obnoxious as Tyler.

They're like my best friends. We know everything there is to know about each other. My abilities are the only thing they are unaware of. That's something I'd rather keep hidden. My parents are the only ones who know.

We've been chilling in my dorm waiting for our next class to start. Anytime these two come here, they immediately hop on the game. I'm the only one among the 3 of us with tv and Playstation in their dorm.

"y'all need to wrap it up soon, class is gonna start," I said, as I lay on my bed scrolling through my feed.

Hakeem turned to me, putting the controller down.

"So wassup with you and Jules," he asked, smiling as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Jules is so fine bro, no wonder you want her" Tyler stated turning the console off.

"I'm not interested in her at all, she's the one who wants me," I said while sitting up and putting on my sneakers.

Jules is one of many girls on campus who refuses to leave me alone. Without a doubt, she's attractive,5'4'' with light skin, long jet black hair, and a nice body.

She continues to throw herself at me, and I am uninterested. I'm not interested in any of the girls here. I'm just tryna focus on school and basketball.

"You're annoying Justus real talk. Have you seen Jules bro? get on that" he said, opening the door so we could start heading to class.

"I'm good, " I stated.

Tyler looked ahead and smiled at who he saw approaching "Speaking of the devil." Jules, with a wide smile on her face, was heading straight for us.

As she approached us, I rolled my eyes and took out my phone.

"Hey guys," she said excitedly. "wassup," Tyler and Hakeem said in sync.
I stayed silent scrolling through my phone and praying she doesn't try to start a conversation with me.

"Hey Justus," she said flirtatiously. I nodded in her direction "yo".
"You're going to the kickback later tonight right?" she said, putting her hand on my arm.

"Wrong" I replied flatly, moving her arm away.
"Why not?" she replied pouting "you don't wanna chill with me baby? Stop playing hard to get," she said as she stepped closer.

"Who said I was playing?" I asked with annoyance, stepping back to put more space between us "I'm being dead serious".

Hakeem and Tyler snickered as they watched me feel so uncomfortable. I gave them a look that read "help me".

"We gotta go Jules cause we're about to be late," Tyler said.
"Yeah bye," I said quickly stepping around her and walking away quickly with Hakeem and Tyler following close behind.
