always forever | beynika

15.

I hated school. I hated school. I. Hate. School.

I hate the fact that I can't leave these kids neither when the day ends. I'm stuck with them, and share a room with a handful of these idiots. I brushed through my curly hair and grunted.

"Nikaaa! Nikaaa! Wake uuppp!" Rang through my ears. I sat up and threw whatever I could at whoever it is was.

"Damn, girl! Just tryna have some positive vibes!" It was Cuban. Ugly ass name for a pretty ass girl.

I shook my head. "Girl fuck you and those vibes. I'm tired." I stood up slowly.

"You know you have to get up. We can't miss Perkman's class today." She reminded. I wish my head would roll off right now.

I did get my ass up though. After hearing Bey say she got promoted, it makes me want to try harder and do more so I can finish when she does. And knowing that at the end of the week, getting to go home to her, made trying harder even better.

I walked to my mini closet and pulled out the same ol' uniform. I set it on my bed before waiting for the bathroom to be open. I grabbed my toiletries, doing my routine then getting myself dressed. I grabbed my book bag on the way out and went to the school hall.

"Hey, new girl!" I was greeted by my best friend, Iesha.

"New girl? I've been here for awhile now. You don't think I get a new title?" I cocked my head to the side. "No. You're the new girl forever. You earned that nickname when you walked in here all quiet and mysterious. Now you won't shut the fuck up."

I slapped her forehead. "Don't play with me."

We went to class. Attending this class was honestly hard. It was Science, early in the morning. I could hardly focus in this class, but I was managing. I jotted down the notes that were honestly unnecessary. The end of class brings me joy as I got to do nothing for the next half hour. I would go back to the dorms, but I knew I'd never make it back in time for class so I decided to just hang around.

"Ayo, shawt! I know you hear me! Where my hug at?"

I turned around to look at him. "Boy.. you're lucky I even acknowledge your existence." He sucked his teeth and jogged up to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I don't even know your name."

"Hakeem. But you can call me baby daddy." He flirted. His antics was disgusting honestly. It wasn't cute at all. I'd look at him differently if he just left me alone.

I nodded in response. "I'll stick with Hakeem. It fits you." He adjusted his locs on his head and just smiled, happy I wasn't pushing him away today.

We walked around the halls until we got to the vending machines. "What you want, lil mama?" He asked and I looked at the various snacks. I could play him and get a bunch of stuff. But I wasn't mean. "Get me 234 anndd 245. Then get me a Gatorade from the other. The white one."

He did exactly what I asked, passing me my items and we walked outside. We sat down at one of the picnic tables. "Soo, you talk to anybody?" He asked me. I nodded. "More than talk. That's my bae."

He raised a brow. "Who? Cause ain't nobody out here claiming you." I laughed. "Good! Cause she back at home, waiting on me to come see her this weekend." He was shocked. "Wait a minute.. we like the same parts? You be eating coochie, lil mama?"

I laughed again. "I ain't ever got that far, but it's on the roster. We still young. I am not thinking about sex."

"Interesting.. you don't wanna try some dick, though? You too fine to be gay." He licked his lips. I frowned. "See I was starting to like you, bro. Now you're just weird as fuck." I stood up from the table.

"Wait! I ain't meant it like that!" He tried but I stormed off. My day was ruined.

After a long day of classes, I was so ready to get in to bed. I walked back to the dorms, but was stopped by someone. She threw my books down and I mugged her. "What is your problem?" I asked her.

"Do you talk to my man?" She asked me. I looked around the hall before looking back at her. "You talking to me?" "Yeah, you!"

"Who's your man?"

"Hakeem! He told me you were trying to feel up on him and shit. Calling him baby daddy. Bitch you know he fucks with me!"

I scoffed. Ain't no kind of way.

"I never called that man anything but his name! He told me to call him baby daddy and I did not! I don't want him. Never have and never will!" I picked my stuff up. I shoved her with my shoulder as I walked off. I didn't understand.

As I kept walking down the hall, people were staring and pointing at me. It was making me uncomfortable. I don't know what lie Hakeem or that little girl decided to spread. But I knew I was being looked at differently.

"Girl, you talk to Hakeem? Knowing his baby mama crazy?" Cuban asked as I walked into our room.

"Baby mama?! That's who that girl is?" I sat my stuff down. She nodded. "I think her name like Azia or something like that. That girl is insane."

I rolled my eyes and flopped onto my bed. "No, I don't talk to that boy. He bothers me everyday and today I decided to entertain him and be nice. Never the fuck again though. Now everybody is about to be in my ass about this shit."

I just want to go home.
