📍Crenshaw High School

i've just been in the stands watching rese practice football with his team. At first some people on the team were worried i would tell beverly their plays but everyone who knew me personally assured them i wouldn't say a word.

"Oh cause i thought a nigga who can't play football said something?" i said laughin walking in the halls with Rese

"hey listen first of all tell your barber go back to school. That fade wack, you push back and stepped on like them damn shoes." i heard coop rappin as we stepped closer to the crowd

"pick on somebody your own size, your own kind, broke, ugly, with a ' i just need some bread' sign" i heard louder as i made my way to the front with rese to see what was going on.

"you're not tough, you can stop it fore i run all in your pockets make you really show me gangsta, do it right here while they watchin." coop continued

"yea, i thought so, boy. now go to class, go and learn somethin, boy. and watch your moth cause you ain't grown, lil boy"

"now run and tell em coop did it. who are you kiddin? you know i do this for a livin." she stopped as the crowd ooohed and shit.

"damn i'm sorry but you...you just got cooped." patience said to the boy coop was rapping about

"you got cooped! you got cooped!" everyone in the hallway started chanting. she saw me in the crowd but i just looked at her, grabbed rese hand and walked away.

📍saulson cafe

"hey liyah, i think layla is cutting herself. Can you help me get to the bottom of it?" spencer asked as he approached our table.

"okay lemme get this straight. i haven't been to since winter break, i deactivated my accounts, haven't slept at your house or the bakers house and the first thing you ask me is to help you?" i looked at him disgusted.

i wasn't even trying to make this about me cause i genuinely want to help spencer but that's literally not how you greet someone who's been MIA. matter fact, that's not how you greet someone at all.

"liya-" he started but i cut him off

"my name is jaaliyah to you and no i won't help y'all. as far as i'm concerned, you don't even exist." i shrugged and leaned into rese's arms

"but-" he started but this time rese cut him off

"you heard her. leave." and with that spencer sighed and left.
