"Leilani, meet Maliyah", Anaiyah chimed in, introducing us. Little did she know, Maliyah and I shared an English class, sitting together. Our conversation was brief, but her calm aura and kindness got me. Although she seemed a bit down, I still caught her vibe.
"We've met. English class", Maliyah acknowledged when Aniayah asked.
"Oh, even better". Anaiyah replied, taking lipgloss out of her pocket and applying it.
As the conversation shifted, Niyah mentioned Dante. "Soo, i'm guessing you've spoken to Tae already."
"Yeah, i have". I said, fiddling with the straws of my hoodie, contemplating taking it off but I know I got sweat marks under that... gotta thug it out.
"Oouuu", Niyah and Chanel exclaimed in unison.
"Y'all guess who I saw Leilani hanging out with?". Anaiyah asked, scootching forward.
She talking about Kayla? Why would this even be a topic...
They all shrugged, and asked who.
"That werid ass bitch, Kayla". Anaiyah responded rolling her eyes.
They gasped.
Damn. What did Kayla do for them to be calling her that. Kayla seemed cool, I didn't see anything wrong about her.
"No way". Chanel said.
"Wait, what's wrong with Kayla?" I asked, highly confused.
"What's not wrong with her." Maliyah responded, nonchalantly taking a piece of gum out.
"She seemed cool.." I stated.
"Of course. She know what she do. She just acting nice because she don't got nobody else to hang out with".
That explains the fact that we didn't have anybody else sitting with us in the lunch hall.
ANDD, the stares we was getting.
Niyah exchanged glances with Chanel and Aniayah, and Maliyah sighed before delving into the Kayla topic.
"Okay, so boom". Niyah began, her tone laced with disapproval, "Kayla used to be tight with us, but she messed up big time".
Chanel chimed in, "she spread some rumours about people, crossed too many lines. That's a sure way to loose some friends".
Anaiyah, glances over at me, knowing im still fooled with her kind demeanour added, "she all fake smiles and nice words now cus she got no one else to turn to. People saw right through her".
"Nobody likes being friends with someone who backstabs and talks behind people's back. It caught up with her, and now, she pretty much on her own".
Niyah nodded in agreement. "She isolated herself with allat drama. Ain't nobody trust her no more".
Maliyah summarised, "it's sorta like a domino effect. Once you loose that trust, it be real hard to gain it back. She got a bad reputation now, and most people I the school don't fuck with her".
As they informed me about all the shady shit Kayla pulled, I couldn't help but feel a mix of sympathy and curiosity about Kayla's situation.
Aniayah, finishing her lil touch up looked at me and said, "I mean, it's up to you whether or not you still wanna hang out with her. But we warned you".
Niyah added firmly, "Kayla's a bitch. And soon all that playing nice will reveal allat werid shit she pulls".
