Things In Life (Interracial/BWWM)

Chapter Sixteen

The week passed by quickly. Jasmine is still up Brayden's ass and I'm about to go off on her. She is disregarding my status as his girlfriend and trying to get with him!

When Brayden told me that nothing was going on, it was her personality, and they were just friends, I believed him. But not anymore. She's doing it on purpose and I'm ready to take the bitch down.

"Want to party this weekend?" Taylor asked us while we were at lunch.

"Sure" Justin and Brayden automatically agreed.

"I'll go." Jasmine added in.

Taylor rolled his eyes. He makes it so obvious that he doesn't like her.

"I'm in." Stacey commented.

Everybody looked at me, waiting on my answer.

I sighed. "As much as I want to, I can't. I take the SAT again next weekend and I haven't studied much, so I've dedicated this whole weekend to studying."

"Just take off Saturday night! Please? It won't be as fun without you there! And you've taken the SAT already!" Taylor whined.

"I can't I need to study so I can score higher and actually have a future after high school."

Taylor pouted and looked at Brayden.

"Can't you get her out of the house?" Taylor asked.

Brayden laughed. "I can't get her to change her mind. She's stubborn and she's sticking to it."

"Thanks babe." I kissed him.

He grabbed my hand and kissed my forehead.

"Anything for you beautiful."

I smiled.

Brayden stopped by my house with Justin and Stacey before they left for the party Saturday night.

They all walked into my room and took in my attire. I had on a baggy T-shirt that said NERD, sweat pants, and fuzzy socks. My hair was in a messy bun and I had my glasses on with no makeup.

"And you've been doing this all day?" Justin asked as he looked around my room and saw the SAT books, calculators, and notebooks.

"Yeah and I need a break. My head is pounding.." I started rubbing my temples.

"Then come with us!" Stacey said as she rumbled through my jewelry box looking for a necklace to go with her dress.

I sighed.

"Guys, leave her alone. If she wants to stay cooped up in her room surrounded by books that'll eventually make her head explode, that's her choice." Brayden said.

"Thanks." I said as he kissed my forehead.

"Alright, let's go. Party is starting and I'm ready to let loose." Justin said as he walked out of my room.

"Bye beautiful, have fun studying." He kissed me and walked out.

"Come on Stace!" Justin yelled from downstairs.

"I'm fixing my makeup! Go ahead and go to the car. I'll meet you outside!" Stacey called back.

We heard the front door open and close as they walked out.

She turned around as she finished putting the necklace on.

"You know the only reason I am going to this party is because you're not going to be there and Jasmine is and I do not trust her around Brayden when you aren't there."
