Kahlil
During lunch I get a call.
The caller id says #1.
It's Keisha.
She should know better than to call me during lunch.
"Hello?"
"Tamera is dragging me on a date and Funko's. I need you to kill it."
"But don't you go all the time."
"You are not understanding. She's making me go on a date with another guy."
"Who?"
"Don't flip out... it's Kj."
"Text me details." I hang up the phone.
Kj. One of my relay buddies.
"What was that about?" Wayne asks me.
"New race. You wanna bet?"
"I thought you said you wanted to quit?"
"It's a process. Now you wanna grab something after school?"
"I have to buy my sis some shoes, but I can meet you after. Where?"
"Uh will you let me pay?" He is so stingy for no reason.
"No." He says.
"Fine we can chill at Funko's then." I roll my eyes.
"You wanna go to Tyrel's favourite joint?"
"Dude he hasn't talked to me in a month. What should I do?"
"Kidnap him."
"So he'd hate me more?" I whack him upside the head.
"Just invite him. Say you'll pay."
I get up. I walk across the room where Tyrel and Meave are feeding each other.
"You have five seconds to get away from me—"
"I just want to know if you wanna go to Funko's. On me."
"You are trying to manipulate me!"
"Tyrel aren't you tried of this? I don't know how many times I have to try and make things better. What can I do for you to forgive me?"
"If KRS don't forgive you. I don't either."
I pull him away from Meave and drag him outside.
"What's wrong with you!" He pushes me.
I don't say a word. I lift up my pant leg.
His eyes widen.
"You tell anyone. You tell KRS. I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. She's going out with Kj tonight. We are not letting him enjoy himself."
"Wayne doesn't know?"
"No. No one knows."
He nods and runs back into the caf. When I get back to Wayne, Tyrel and Meave are there too. Along with Tamera.
"You two are back to being friends?" Tamera asks.
"He said he'd buy me my favourite. So today is that day. He's paying. I get a free meal." Tyrel says.
"You are so lame."
"You still hate me?" I sigh.
"You see I don't care about you. You aren't playing with my girl's feelings and she has moved on."
