"Excuse me" I said eyes widened. "Wait, that bish ain't know who she talking to".
"Yes, I'm talking to Onika Nicki Tanya Maraj and if-"
She didn't get to finish because I landed a punch on her right cheek. She stumbled back her palm on the cheek I just punched.
"That'll teach ya to stop fücking with me and " I grabbed a tissue from my back pocket bent down and handed it to her, "you're bleeding".
I got up and everybody continued what they were doing shaking their heads saying things like, that girl shouldn't have messed with her, she got taught a lesson and blah, blah.
I turned around and our principal was leaning by the cafeteria door looking at me disappointed while the girl I just punched got up and scrambled to the bathroom. He motioned for me to come to his office. "Fuck" I muttered under my breath.
When I reached his office I sat in the same chair I sat in everytime I came in here and it maybe wasn't to see me.
"Onika when are you going to learn, she was just defending a friend" Mr Cunningham started.
"Nobody told her to interfere it was surely none of her business to intervene" I air quoted.
"OK what was it all about" Mr Cunningham huffed.
"That hoe I punched wa-"
"Language Onika" he ordered.
I rolled my eyes, "Anyhoo that ugh I punched and her friend was sitting where I usually sit in the cafeteria I told her friend and her to move. Her friend started to move but oh no she held her friend's hand and said oh you running away from this bish she can't do nothing she's just a bully" I said mocking her voice.
"So Adrianna talked back at you and you talked back but since she didn't listen you punched her" Mr Cunningham finished.
I snapped my fingers "Bingo Mr Man you got it and that's the bi-" he gave me a warning look, "girl name ?"
He shook his head and pulling a blank paper from his draw and started writing, "Onika you are too close to getting expelled and now I have to call your parents again and when was the last time I called them about yesterday for when you mistakabely tripped a boy and caused him to twist his ankles".
I laughed at the memory then shook my head he gave me the paper saying, "You are suspended for a week. I don't want to see you near this college or bothering any of the students when they are going or coming from school. Hear me".
I practically junmped for joy,"Yes Siree" ,and I walked out the office laughing, "No school for me Yaaaaaay. Adios Haters. Hala".
I went home took a long bath and started putting my clothes when my Skype ringtone talking bout only knowing your lover when you let them go. I answered it and my mom's angry face appeared. Oh, Oh this seems like trouble to me.
"Ms lady lemme tell you something we ain't send you school to fight nobody children we send you school to get some education in your thick skull. I tired of this damn principal calling me everyday I mean every damn college day when you are or not at school what the fu-"
The tablet mommy was using to talk to me was pulled away from her hands and I heard her sobbing while my dad was trying to calm down. I was hugging my teddy bear so tight I was surprised that I can still breath.
My dad's face appears on the screen.
"Hi, dad" I managed to say.
"Hey sugar. Let me just get to the point".
I was confused because I didn't have no idea what point he was talking about he never argued with me when I got in trouble. He usually talked to me .
"Your mom and I is hiring a young gentlemen 22 years old to mentor you. He is in the same college class/ stream as you in his junior year going senior next year. He will be arriving in two days. We have just registered him at your college when the principal called he just has to sign in when hebarruives and give his documents."
My mouth was opened agape as I heard him talking. Mentor. It was like hiring a babysitter to babysit me.
I opened my mouth to reply but my father stopped me in time,"Now young lady you wouldn't like to see or know the consequences if you reply would you ?"
I held my mouth even though my lips were quivering to say something. "Good ,girl. And if you disrespect him. Even once all your gadgets will be taken away from you, your car, no more new fashion clothes and no getting away easily when you get in trouble. Oh you won't be getting in anymore trouble. Won't you dear" he said the words so calmly it scared me.
I didn't trust myself into replying.
"Good. Goodbye honey" he said before my Skype connection with them turned off.
I looked at the screen. I mean hire a mentor twenty two. One year older than me. Oh God. No name. No picking him up at the airport. No picture of him. Nada. What the fück. I rolled over on my bed and sighed hugging my pillow just gotta wait for the next few days to see my mentor. I closed my eyes but something told my this would be interesting.
