"Alright, I'm coming

"Alright, I'm coming." I hung up and threw my trash away.

Amari hurt herself and now she needs to go home, but her parents can't come, since they're out on vacation.

And I'm in the same school right now, so I have to get someone else to pick her up for me.

I know who to call tho.

My guardian, Tank. Ever since my mom abandoned me and my dad was in jail, I've been staying with Tank. He basically took me in.

He's 30, and has been out of school, so I can just get my boy Trunks to alter Amari's documents and add Tank as a person who can pick up/a contact.

I went to the bathroom and texted him. I didn't call because you never know when someone is listening. And I don't mean the government, we have "trap" phones so we don't gotta worry about that, I mean people that come in and out of the bathroom.

Trunks 🍙

I shut my phone off, sliding it into my pocket, and walked out of the stall.

I was currently sitting in class right now, waiting to be called after Dina and Stephanie brought me here

I was currently sitting in class right now, waiting to be called after Dina and Stephanie brought me here.

The intercom beeper came on.

"Hey, will you please have Amari Rivera come to check out?" The attendance lady, Mrs Harper called.

"Yes ma'am!" My teacher said.

"Thank you." Mrs Harper hung up the intercom.

I grabbed my bookbag and limped out of the classroom.

Everyone just kind of stared at me, which I ignored.

Once I got to the front office, I became confused, seeing a tall, bald, black man with face and head tattoos standing there, looking at me, waiting for me.

"Have a great day." The front desk lady, Mrs Elizabeth smiled.

I silently limped out the door with this man, keeping my distance since I didn't know him.

Once we got out the door, he started talking to me.

"Amari, right?" He asked.

"Yes..."

"Tank. Don't worry, I may look scary, but trust me, I'm not. I'm only scary when you test me or get me heated."

I only nodded.

"X sent me to come get you."

"Figured. How did you even get permission to get me?"

"Let's just say we got people."

"Okay..."

"I got the address already, so just relax."

I nodded.

I don't understand why X is acting like he knows me...

And I don't even like calling him X, I know his real nam, but he's just weird about that for some reason...

The car ride to my house was quiet. I could tell Tank wanted to talk to me, and he seemed pretty genuine, but I still wasn't sure...

I walked inside, locking the door behind me, and walked upstairs to my room.

I sat on the bed and pulled that phone number that Dina gave me out of my pocket, unfolded it and looked at it.

I decided to add it as a contact and text her.

(954) 256-7237 (idk if thats a real number 💀 probably is. I am not responsible for the calls you make!! 😭)

Ms Chicken Nuggets isn't actually her name, it's Ms Chicknug. Still a terrible name.

But I guess I'ma sit here and do nothing until school gets out.

Might just take a nap.
