"Noonie why you still here ?" Kacey who is also a cheerleader asked sitting next to me.
"I'm waiting on Barbie" I sighed. I'm tired, I just wanna go to sleep.
She's usually on time to pick me up but I don't know where she's at today.
"Damn she drove you today too ? Y'all must be together together."
"We're not"
"She been driving you to school all week" she said and I shrugged. "She wants to"
"You like her ?"
I looked over at her then looked back at the ground. "yea.."
"Awwwww noonieeee" she smiled poking me.
"You don't never like nobody, you barley liked Dwayne" she said. "I know, that's why this is crazy" I mumbled.
"You finally getting you a boo" she said "I don't know about all that yet... I gotta see how she do with us just vibing first, she a hoe" I said.
"That makes sense" she nodded then a car pulled up honking. "That's my ride girl, I'll see you later" she hugged me before getting up and walking away.
"Bye !" I called out waving. She waved back before getting in the car and I huffed now all alone.
More time past and I groaned started to get irritated so I just called her.
"hello" she answered sounding like she was sleep.
"Nikaaa where are you" I whined over the phone. I'm sleepy and ready to go home.
"I'm on the way baby, I'm sorry I fell asleep" she rusted out. "it's ok, hurry please" I mumbled.
"Ok" she said before hanging up and I huffed. The first week of school wasn't that bad, a lot of people that go here I grew up with so I wasn't like a stranger
I'm glad it's the weekend though. I'm tired of school already.
A while later nika car pulled up and I sighed in relief grabbing my bags then walked over there putting them in the car before getting in.
"I'm sorry baby" she apologized kissing my cheek.
"It's ok, take me home please" I said just wanting to go to sleep.
"You don't wanna go get some food or sum ?" She asked driving off. I shook my head "I'm tired"
She went quiet and I looked over seeing it looked like she was thinking about something "What ?" I asked.
"I want you to spend the night with me"
I scrunched my face "Why ?"
"I gotta have a reason ? I just wanna be with you" she looked at me and I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not doing nothing with you."
This time her face scrunched "I never said you was"
"You're not slick onika. You just want me to spend the night to try and get me to do something with you" I said already knowing the game.
She sighed heavily "I don't know who you been with in the past but damn. They really fucked you up"
"What you mean by that ?" I mugged her.
"I'm not always tryna fuck on you Lauren. I haven't yet tried to do anything sexual with you that you haven't started first... I'm trying to build our
connection baby. Messing around is the last thing on my mind"
