A Struggle Within Itself

Chapter 24

Genniffer's Pov

You know how they say once a girl losses her virginity she is stuck on the person who took it? Well thats how I felt. Nothing but Jaylen was on my mind. I got up and brushed my teeth, brushed out my hair. I put on a black skirt and a pink crop top. Grabbed my purse and went downstairs to start making pancakes. I heard a knock on the door.

I opened it and there stood Jaylen and Brian. It was like Jaylen stood out now and shined brighter in my eyes.

"Good morning" I beamed. I gave Jaylen a nice long hug. I held my hands out for Brian to give me a hug next. He backed away some. "What's wrong with you? Give me a hug." Brian shook his head. I guess he isn't in the mood this morning. I shrugged it off and walked them to the kitchen. I flipped the pancakes over. Jaylen had his eyes searching me all over. I felt good. Brian kind of ruined it though. He sat against the counter looking gloomy.

"Okay for real Brian what's wrong with you?" I gave him a warm smile so he could open up to me. Jaylen laughed and tapped Brian on the shoulder.

"Yeah what's up with you. You've been acting funky since I called you this morning." He grinned.

"Nah it's nothing. But I heard about last night." Brian half smiled and geld out his hand for a high five from Jaylen. They both laughed and I stood there looking astonished.

"Nigga you told." I cut my eyes at Jaylen.
Jaylen cleared his throat.

"Yeah" I bit my tongue.

"So we have our first and you run off in the morning and tell Brian. How long did it take you to tell him. 3 minutes." I turned to the pancakes and started putting them onto a plate.

"It ain't like that. And whose to say that was my first?"

"You slept with someone else? Who?" I barked.

"Nobody important." Jaylen chuckled. I gripped my teeth. I grabbed a spoon and scooped up a big chunk of pancake batter and tossed it at Jaylen. It slapped against his chin and his ran down his shirt.

"Fuck you. Should let your ass rott in jail!" Treyvian came downstairs.

"Genniffer lower your damn voice. I don't give a fuck what they did or said. Don't get my situation involved." I grabbed my purse and flicked my hair.

"Look I'm sorry. Treyvian let's go take me to school were going to school. These two clowns can take the bus." I started to go for the door. Treyvian grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"Wait wheres some pancakes, eggs, some damn breakfast?"

"No come let's go."

"No I don't have my car today. Imma pick it up later today. So right now you're gonna take yo ass back to the skillet and make some damn pancakes." I frowned in defeat and marched my ass back to the kitchen. I made the pancakes in complete silence while the boys talked. They ate as loud as possible. I ate a pop tart and watched them in silence.

How could Jaylen go run his mouth? I got a little embarrassed at the thought of Brian knowing what we did. We walked out to the bus. Jaylen wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked. He squeezed my butt. I smacked his hand away.

We walked on the bus. Jaylen and Treyvian sat together on the bus. I guess to talk about their next 'business' plan. Leaving me to sit with Brian. It was never awakward around Brian. Only the day after we kissed. He was one of my bestfriends after all. Brian sat in the seat with his head in his hands. I tried to make small talk.

"So anything new with Crispy?" Brian looked over at me and shook his head.

"Do you have a football practice or game you would like me to stay after for?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
