Chapter 8

Mel's pov
I wasn't really ready to give myself to ke'von so when he asked me
" so when are we going to start 'using protection'" all I could manage to get out was "umm" I contemplated on whether or not I said the right thing. I didn't want him to think I didn't wanna be with him.

"I'm not exactly ready , I'm still a .. Virgin" I said rubbing my arm nervously. Plus we weren't even a couple.

"I understand and respect your decision. I'm not going to rush you into doing something you dnt want to" he told me. He was so sweet and I loved how he respected my decision. How did I get so lucky?

After that whole encounter with drake I wasn't really sure what to do. I wanted to tell Deshawn but then I felt it wasn't necessary , so I left it alone. After ke'von had left , Mel joined the rest of us in the living room as we discussed what we saw on the news yesterday.

"Soo like why I ain't never seen her at school but Yall did I'm like so confused" Estelle said looking lost af

"That's cuz you dnt never be payin no mind to anybody but yourself and food" Chantelle explained

"that is soo not true" she argued "man whatever , that's so weird though do you think drake had something to do with it he just puttin up a front ?" Estelle asked
We all thought it about it for a quick second. "Naaah , I mean she was new she hadn't been here for that long" I explained. They all nodded in agreement.

Drake was a conniving , manipulative dude but he doesn't express that side of him when you first meet him. I don't think he had anything to do with her murder. But then maybe he did. I would know how evil he could be we used to have a .."thing" none of the girls know this but when I was in my last relationship with kaleb , I cheated on him with drake. That then led to the beatings I would get. Kaleb found out I don't know how but he did. Drake never knew he knew but I did. The girls just know that Kaleb was abusive but they dnt know its cuz I cheated. Well I did have a little feelings for drake at least I thought I did. He started getting controlling though and I didn't like it. I'm guessing he started catching feelings again which explains why the nigga was Tryna push up on me but I'm not having it. I really like Deshawn and I want to leave what's in the past , in the past.

Chantelle's pov
After us girls all went home I decided to freshen up and call trevion to see what he was up to. "Hello ?" He said in a sleepy voice

"ooh I'm sorry did I wake you up?" He sounded so sexy "naah I was getting up anyway , wasup ?"

"I wanted to hang out just me and you maybe I can come over ?" I asked shifting myself on the bed. "Yeah sure , I'll text you the address" he said. "Alright see you" I told him hanging up the phone. I then got up and checked myself one more time in the mirror before grabbing my things and heading out.

I decided to straighten things up a bit since I was having Chantelle over. I was home alone so I just turned some music on and blasted it all the way up. I began dancing as I heard a knock on the door I walked over and opened it , revealing Chantelle "hey" she smiled giving me a hug

"Heey" I said as I moved aside to let her come inside. "Your home is nice" she said looking around in awe. I chuckled and grabbed her hand leading her to the living room

"you want something to drink?" I asked "no I'm fine thanks" she said taking off her jacket and making herself comfortable

"dnt be just gettin all comfortable on my couch , who you thought you was ?"

"Boy shut up ! Rude ass I do what I want" she smirked

" oh really ? Is that so ?" I said walking towards her
