Who Hurt You? (Normila)

Strange New Addictions

Normani's POV

ring!!!!!!

One more period until lunch. Thank God, I'm starving. One banana for breakfast cannot hold me over whatsoever.

The worst thing is that I have to go to my locker that's completely out of the way of this class. But at least I can talk to my friends during nutrition and passing period.

Walking up to my locker I see the usual 4 faces that are hovering around this area at this time of day. "do any of you guys have like crackers or something. I know lunch is next period but fuck my stomach hurts."

"I have half crushed doritos in my backpack." Keiynan offers.

"I have half of my peanut butter sandwich in my locker actually. I'll go get it for you real quick Manibear." I smile at my best friend as I watch her walk a few rows down. The perks of having your best friend's locker nearby is a gift that keeps on giving.

"Do you guys ever think about getting a job?" Billie says out of complete nowhere.

"Ummm I barely have time to think about what I want for breakfast. These AP classes and dance are sucking the life out of me. I'm spread thin enough." I exhale and turn to my locker to open it. I grab my back and turns back toward the group.

Kiana laughs, "I'm sure my family would love it if I got out of the house more and left them all alone but I'm gonna take advantage of not having to work for as long as I can. Especially after a summer full of scrubbing floors at 6am for no damn reason."

"So valid. I forget you and Mila did that shit for real. Honestly sometimes I think about like working at the grocery store or something or like Staples." Keiynan adds.

"What the fuck. Why Staples, weirdo"

"Because, Billard, it seems easy. Like have you ever seen a Staples employee work really hard? Cause I have never."

"I mean I guess..."

I smile to myself listening to these idiots talk while I grab more stuff from my locker. I feel another lingering pain in my stomach as the seconds pass. I look over towards the direction of Camila's locker and it becomes apparent to me why Camila hadn't come back with that damn sandwich yet. She was talking to Victoria.

It doesn't take long for the other three to notice too. "Look at Mila, that sly dog. She wants the re-up on that unfinished business she started at the party." Keiynan giggles like the boy he is.

"You're such a man." Kiana comments.

"Y'all don't get it." He shakes his head.

"Guess you're not getting that sandwich Manibutt." Billie says.

"Guess not"

I watch them from afar, inspecting their body language. Victoria is leaning against the lockers while Camila stands in front of her, granting her full attention on Victoria and not on the sandwich that's sitting and waiting to be eaten by me.

In the midst of all the flirting and subtle touches, the first bell rings and I know it's time to head to class. I sigh, in all my hanger. Guess I have to be a major grumpy bitch until lunch. I've got no choice.

I slam my locker closed, "See you guys after."

I walk grumpily towards my next class, just barely passing Camila's locker when I bump into Charles.

"Out of my way, pretty boy."

"Whoa whoa whoa. Who pissed in your cheerios?" His hands firmly hold on to the sides of my arms on either side.
