A Struggle Within Itself

Chapter 37

Genniffer's Pov

I rushed into Geometry class before the bell rang. My teacher shut the door behind me. With the slam of the thick wooden door all eyes fell on me. Victoria and Jaylen chuckled under their breath. Awkward enough I took my seat next to them. It wasn't my choice, the teacher assigned seats with Victoria to my left and Jaylen in the seat in front. It would be some of the best days where I sat when me and Jaylen were on good terms, minus Victoria.

I sat down and waited for the teacher to get on with class. Jaylen streched his arms out and leaned back in my face.
"Just because we mad at each other doesn't you can't speak to a nigga." I rolled my eyes and waved hi. He gave me an "oh okay" kind of look and leaned forward. Class continued and Jaylen frequently streched, poked, and taunted me with sticking his face over my desk all class. His cologne hit my nose each time. It was one of my favorite colognes that I liked on him that made it all the more agrivating.

As soon as the bell rung I was out. I gathered my things and left. But immediately after I remembered that I should of gave him Brian's house key so he could watch him tonight. I started to turn back until I saw Jaylen walking away with his friends.

Later in lunch I hoped to just chill with Aqua at our usual lunch table. Unfortunately our usual lunch table is Jaylen's usual lunch table. No one around the school really knew we broke up so Jaylen used that to his advantage. He scooted me over and made me share a seat with him. I would of tried to push him out my seat, but he's to big. I could of got up but on a typical day the cafeteria was crouded and there were no extra seats.

Aqua sat across from us and knew what Jaylen was doing. However she made no effort to stop it! She was to busy making kissy faces with Antwan. To top it off he brought all his friends over to brag about the "relationship" we still had going on.

"Yeah this girl right here." Jaylen grabbed my hand and showed it off to everyone at the table. "This chick is the most loyal girl I got. She ain't going no where. Ain't that right?" He looked at me and gave me a wet sloppy kiss on my cheek. I mushed his face and pushed his him away. I got up and signaled for Aqua to follow me out of the lunch room. As soon as we left I once again forgot to give him the freaking key.

I got home from school and immediately did my homework. " What is the length of the apothem of a triangle if the sides are all 30?" I read the question aloud. Before I could even begin to think of how to solve the problem my phone rang. I picked it up and looked at it. A picture of me with my arms coming around hugging Jaylen from behind appeared. Both of us smiling. The picture was taken in one of the months I was unknowingly pregnant. The caller ID read: Leave Him Alone. I sighed and let the phone ring till it went to voicemail. I put my phone down and looked back at my homework. Immediately my phone rang again. I ignored it and continued with my work till I was done.

After I finished I figured to go to Jaylen's house and see why he needed to call me twice. I walked across the lawns and knocked on his door. I waited. His tall scary mother answered the door. She looked down at me like the rest of the world does and crossed her arms.

"I need to give Jaylen something" I said, but it came out more like a whisper. She stood in front of me for a moment. She scoffed and stepped out of the way. I walked in and looked around. My raced rememmbering the last time I was here. That's probably why she doesn't like me. Actually, no she's liked me since.... never. I don't know what Jaylen has told her but she hasn't ever said more than three sentences to me each time I was around her. I walked up the stairs and went to Jaylen's room. His door was closed and I opened it. He was just stepping out of his basketball shorts into his underwear with no shirt.

"Oh my god do you plan this or something?" I said covering my eyes.

"Genniffer, please." Jaylen walked by and slapped my hand down. He went over to his dresser and pulled out some sweatpants." Don't act like you don't want all this. You probably came just over to apologize so I could pull it out on you so you could kiss the tip and leave in the morning like you did."
