The next day
We had just arrived at Colts Arts high school. Mark and I usually walk to school in the mornings since we are close neighbors. I usually wait til he knocks on my door in the mornings telling me that its time to go. As we walked into the school the hallways were filled with people, even more than usual as if there was a fight about to happen. Mark and I started to walk over there cause we were curious to see. As we started to walk towards the giant crowd some girl bumped into me.
"Hey watch where you're going" a familiar voice said to me.
"I'm so-" I stopped myself.
I looked up to see it was no one other than valerie, the girl I use to be friends with but hates me cause I 'stole her boyfriend' in like the 9th grade.
"Well isn't it Maya Maydeen. The tramp that stole Chris from me" she said with disgust.
"Tramp? Valerie that was 3 years ago when are you gonna let that go bitch?" I said annoyed.
"I loved him Maya! You were my friend and you-"
I had cut her off midsentence.
"Let that shit go. That was freshman year you don't even like him anymore so just drop it."
I started to walk away and go find Mark since I had lost him after that bitch bumped into me. Valerie started to follow me and tried to keep conversation after I said drop it. I decided to push her away, she suddenly came back and proceeded to pull my hair towards the floor. I suddenly grabbed her hair and yank it so hard she had let go of mine.
While caught in the moment I decided to punch her in the face while I was at it. She was yelling and pleading for me to stop and to get off her but I acted as if I didn't hear her. A crowd had started to form around us and I suddenly felt someone grab me away from her. Luckily, it was Mark and not the principal. I would've gotten into so much trouble. After Mark had dragged me off of Valerie I went to get my stuff when he decided to question me.
"What were you thinking?! You could've gotten into so much trouble Maya. Did you even have the slightest idea of what consequences you would have to face?!" he squealed at me.
"Does it matter? I didn't get caught who fucking cares Mark leave it alone I can't take it back now"
"Maya I'm just saying watch it. It's almost the end of high school you don't need to get into any trouble now"
"Whatever mark"
I said as we started to walk off to class.
Mark was always the one to care too much but make sure you're alright. I sometimes wonder why he didn't leave like the rest of people I use to be friends with, but I'm glad he didn't, I couldn't live without him. And no I'm not IN LOVE with him he's just a brother to me. But there is this one guy I absolutely crave and just want. His name is Micheal. He's 6'2 with average black people hair curly, brown and slightly nappy, and a body that any girl could fall for. I've liked him since 11th grade we use to talk but not a much as me and Mark do.
Its almost the end of 12th grade and I haven't even gotten close to him. The only person that knows I like him is Mark...he knows everything. Mark keeps telling me to talk to him, but I don't want to seem thirsty or just another hoe he sees, I wanna be different not like everyone else. But in Michaels eyes I probably dont even exist anymore. Tomorrow I swear I'm going to talk to him.
