It's finally Friday. I'm so glad, after I beat Kiersten up the other day she been tweaking real bad. Oh em geee..Here she go again. Kiersten stands up on a lunch table. "Can I have everyone attention please?" Kiersten sounds off. Surprisingly, the whole cafeteria goes quiet. Kiersten giggles a bit which makes me a bit nervous. Miles notices and puts his arm around me."Knock Knock!" she exclaimed, it was quiet again for a moment until one person yelled "who's there?" "Not Myasia's dad! Y'know because he left her and her mom?" Kiersten laughs real hard.

I cannot believe what just said. Something must really be psychological wrong with her. Everyone in the cafeteria turns to me.

My vision is getting blurry from the tears forming in my eyes. My throat starts hurting. I will not cry in front of all these people. I just won't. It's not an option. My breathing gets shaky. Everyone turns back to Kiersten. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" somebody yells. "It's giving my parents don't love me!" Somebody else yells. The whole cafeteria ended defending me and some even threw food at her. I couldn't do nothing but cry in Miles' arms. "I'm sorry she said that, Asia." He was rubbing my back.
"Oh hell nah. Kiersten, round 2. Right now." I heard Serena snapped her. Everyone gasped, I even heard a wrestling "ding ding" in the background.

I turn around and seen Serena yank Kiersten off the table by her arm. "DAMNNN!" Everyone started screaming and jumping around.

Kiersten didn't have no time to process what was happening. Serena was definitely doing her big one. She was punching her all over. Face, stomach, eyes, legs, arms, chest. Nowhere was safe for Kiersten. They was throwing food on Kiersten while she was getting beat up again. I turned around to see if Miles see what I'm seeing right now, he was just as shocked as me. I turn back around and the teachers was holding Serena back the best they could. I stood up a bit, Kiersten was covered in food, bruises, and knots. I went up to her and took a picture. "Stupid bitch." I say, wiping the last of my tears away.

After that everyone came up to me asking if I was okay and if I needed anything. Even people I didn't know were checking on me.

My mom wasn't gonna be home so, I went to Miles house. His uncle was in the kitchen when we got there. Miles nods at him and he nods back. "Hi." I greet the man. "You must be Myasia, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Aaron." He smiles and tilts head at Miles when he says "lot". "Yeah, okay. Let's go, Asia." Miles rolls eyes. "Door stays open." Aaron continues cooking.
I wonder what he said to his uncle said about me. I sat on his bed checking my phone. Miles was putting his stuff down.
Someone was having a end of the year party, "Yo, dimples you tryna go to this party?" I flipped my phone around so he could see the flier.

Miles looks at the phone then at me. He looks like he was gonna say something but he nods.

"Aight bet." We walked to the party since it wasn't too far from where we were. Before we go into the house, Miles stops me. "You sure you wanna do this?" He asks, putting his hand on my shoulder. "Like, you would tell me if you not okay?" He looks concerned. "Pshh, I'm fine. Let's go!" I excitedly pull Miles into the house, hesitantly he follows. Loud drill music is playing and there's a faint smell of weed in the air. There's a lot of people in the living room. Making my way to the kitchen, I find some vodka and pour a cup while Miles was talking to somebody. "What's that?" He points at the red cup in my hand. "Water." I lied as I took a sip.

I can tell he doesn't believe me but he doesn't push it. He deeply exhales and walks away.

Whatever, he not finna ruin my vibe. I see my other friends playing a drinking game so I go over and talk to them. "What y'all playing?" I ask taking another sip of my "water". "Truth or Drink, wanna play?" A boy says, I nod. Don't have anything better to do since Miles just left. Ooh he get on nerves sometimes.. I played like 10 rounds but I got real tipsy. Out of nowhere some random little girl kept trying to talk to me. I couldn't understand a word she was saying. I went back in the kitchen and got a cup of actual water when this boy Nate leans against the sink.

He was cute I guess but he wasn't cute like Miles was. Nate was light skin and he had long locs. We actually used to date.

I ignored him and drank my water. "Oh so that's how it is now, Asia?" He laughed. I rolled my eyes, the reason I broke up with him was because he's a player. "That's how it's always been." my words slurred. Nate gets closer to me, lifting my chin with his thumb. "Damn girl, how much did you drink?" His brown eyes study my face. I swat his hand from my face but since I'm drunk, my hit is pretty weak. He laughs again. Nate sweeps my hair behind my ears, I shoot him a disgusted look.

"Myasia, who's that?" Oh now he wanna come back..
