C 18: Book 1

Little Boy 🙄

Cyn POV

The next week was..unpleasant. To say the least, I stopped talking to Lucas, he tried his best to talk to me but it just wasn't working.

He grew upset with me, oddly to say. I won't lie to you, there was a small thing I felt coming from him, but whatever connection we had dwindled down when he started messing with Brianna.

The girl and I never saw eye to eye and I am sure he didn't know that, but then two messing with each other bothered me a little bit.

He was making friends with my friends, mixing in with my circle and it was becoming annoying. He clicked easily with Seven, and the both of them were like two peas in a pod.

   I could tell they talked about me and Craig, talked about the bruises and the scars, they both gave me the same grief about it, whether it be Lucas's disapproving looks, or Sevens judgey eyeball stares.

I sat in class away from my usual seat now, no longer comfortable with we're I use to sit.

Soon the class filled, Lucas, Briana, Chresanto, and Chamar came in. Lucas didn't even look at me, he walked past me and Briana snickered at me.

Craig: you ready for tonight?" he asked as he came in.

  I nodded and looked over at Seven as she looked at me and shook her head. Lucas looked over at me too rolling his eyes.

Briana: hey Cynthia, I am looking forward to seeing who wins MVP for swimming." she said as she sat on Lucas's lap. I looked over at her and faced her.

Me: oh yes, I would love to say the same thing, even though i'm pretty sure it isn't you." I teased. Chamar snickered at my comment before glaring at her.

Briana: even if you win it still won't matter " she laughed.

Me: well let's hope you don't think you're phasing me-"

Briana: oh bitch I am not worried about that."

Me: you wanna say that again ?" I asked. She got in my face and smirked.

Lucas: baby girl chill she ain't worth it." he said for her. He looked at me cold, as I glared at him.

Santo: Foreal get out my sister's face.." he snapped. I stared at Lucas who glared at me this time.

Me ignoring him was never supposed to hurt him, he had just met me so I didn't think it mattered.

Brians: Your right baby, I don't need to put my hands on her..that's what Craig's for right." she snickered at me while everyone oohed and laughed at me. Chres looked confused but shrugged it off.

Lucas didn't say anything as he looked shocked at her comment. Taking my seat, I folded my arms as the teacher hushed us.

Mrs. Wall: Alright enough ladies... " she said. 

  Briana blew a kiss at me and Lucas kissed her cheek like she didn't just embarrass me. I gathered my things and pushed my chair in before leaving the class.

Santo: Cynthia." he called as I stormed out.

Mrs. Wall: Ms. August!" she yelled as she came out the hall way. I ignored and stormed down to the front office.

   I didn't even sign out as I exited the front door. I hurried home and up to my room slamming the door. Crawling into bed I stayed there, ignoring the missed calls  and text I was getting.

Lucas POV

I gritted my teeth as she stormed out, I felt bad as Brianna and her prissy friends started laughing. To say the least, I was being a prick, it was my nature.

She started ignoring me, and call me a little boy if you must but I wanted to show her that she wasn't the only girl in this school.

That ignoring me wasn't gone phase a nigga, but Inwas wrong. It had barely been a month, and she grew on me and I couldn't face the fact that she was cutting me off. Not giving me a chance.

Don't get me wrong, she got a boyfriend and all which is good that she has that kind of loyalty, but how she stormed off on me the other day, cutting me off and walking into class, pissed me off.

Brianna's comment snapped me back to reality though, she wasn't acting like that because that was who she was. She was acting like that because of the kind of boyfriend she had. 

Glaring over at Craig, I gritted my teeth as he sat there not caring that his girl just stormed out of class and standing up for her either.

If a nigga ever embarrassed my girl like I just did his, I would be on his ass. But he sat there, scrolling on his phone, texting other girls most likely and popping his chewing gum like a bitch.

Growing this upset, growing this frustrated over a girl I just met, made me feel soft inside. I didn't know if I liked her, but there was something there.

Her gravitational pull was one of the rarest, the moment I laid eyes on her, she stuck in my head like a pretty memory.

I was so stuck in my thoughts that I didn't even realize class had ended, the bell rang and I stood up grabbing my bookbag.

Brianna: are you coming back to my place?" she seduced as people left the room. Looking down at her I shook my head as I scooted out of my desk.

Me: nah." I said as I walked out.

Brianna: um..why?" she snapped. Chuckling, I kept walking leaving her with her thoughts.
