Beyond The Bell

Reunion of the Holy Trinity 🥂

The first day of school, a brand new year full of the same fake ass people creating new drama. After two and a half months it feels a little nostalgic being in a classroom with everyone again while sitting next to your friend while your teacher took attendance...

"Jasmine Carter?"

That's it. The name that made everyone stop what they were doing and look around. Jasmine was a well known girl around school, but more specifically she was known for her messy breakup with her toxic ex. It was so bad she decided to stay home schooled for a year, but she's back now.

Jasmine's POV
I did not miss being here. Between the nasty lunch and being around a bunch of kids that don't know nothing about
proper hygiene, I probably would've been better off staying home. But a very small part of me feels like I'm making the right decision coming back, Reggie was going crazy when I told him I was thinking about it.

We've always been known as the 'Carter twins' so it's a little pointless if both twins don't show up. As we made our way through the halls and to the office I saw a lot of familiar faces and I could tell they noticed me too.
even the ladies at the front desk were shocked to finally see me again, but the most shocked person in the room was one of the office aids, Kayden Thompson.

Me and Reggie walked over to him and started printing out all our papers.
"Jasmine and Reggie Carter, been a while since you were both in school at the same time." Kory spoke in his usual deep voice. But he had a smirk on his face and honestly I'd be lying if I said he wasn't sexy.

"You missed me or something, Kayden?" I replied quickly, but he just laughed and shook his head.
"Not as much as London has."
London. I sighed at the mention of my best friend.

I know basically disappearing off the face of the planet without telling anybody is a little selfish, but I just hope her and Meghan understand where I was coming from when it happened.
Reggie and I got our schedules and everything and he went off to meet up with some of his friends while I walked into my first class.

When I walked in everyone stared at me. I couldn't tell if it was because I was late, or if it was because I left and showed up again without a word... I'd say it's because I'm late tho 🤷🏼‍♀️

"Ms Carter?" The teacher asked while looking at his paper.
"Mr jones?" I did the same, but my eyes landed on the two bitches up front who kept staring and smiling at me, London and Meghan.

I cleared my throat and TRIED TO look as professional as possible by hiding the smile creeping onto my face. I'm already late and probably disrupting whatever it is they were talking about in here I didn't wanna cause anymore problems, but I missed my best friends.

"Alright, Jasmine, you can take a seat right next to Isaiah" Mr jones said while pointing to the right.
I knew Isaiah a little bit, but not enough to actually hold a conversation with him. But I sat beside him and our teacher continued whatever he was talking about.

Regular POV
As classes were ending the only thing anyone could talk about was the reunion of the 'holy trinity.' Jasmine, London, and Meghan were an inseparable trio,and they've been that way since middle school. They walked through the halls together just happy to be back together.

London's POV
I did not except to actually see jasmine back here, it all felt like a fever dream. I had hella emotions running through me right now. I was happy, anxious, angry. Part of me wanted to just hug Jas until she popped but another part of me wanted to strangle her short ass for leaving and not telling anybody.

"You know you got some explaining to do..." I say with an attitude. I didn't mean for it to come out that harsh but it definitely got the point across because Jasmine sighed and looked at me and Meg.
"You know me and Derek broke up. It was a long and hard process but I didn't wanna come back here until the shit blew over a little bit." She explained in a quiet tone.

Jasmine has never been a quiet person, so I know she really didn't wanna speak on the issue and I wasn't gonna make her. I was there when she was with Derek and it wasn't a pretty sight to see...
"Besides all that, we're just happy you're here with us again and back on your feet like you've always been." Meghan says, I loved the way Meg always lightened any mood.

"I'm ready, can't believe I lost myself over a nigga like that." Jas says with a disgusted look.
It was true, Jasmine always put pressure on niggas but it was something about Derek that made her lose her mind. The three of us walked into the bathroom and froze when we saw a bitch we couldn't stand...

Jennifer.

Jennifer's POV
Classes on the first day of school never had my interest. Doing ice breakers and learning about a bunch of people you don't care for sounds like a waste of time. I am glad I met back up with my girl, destiny. We both decided to skip first period in the bathroom, but as soon as we were leaving the three ghetto hood rats walked in. Jasmine Carter, London Johnson, and Meghan Marie.

We all just stood there staring at each other before jasmine looked me up and down and walked towards the sink. I hated Jasmine, always throwing the rock and hiding the hand. I wanna see her small ass get hurt, and not just by her ex boyfriend. Me and destiny both walked out the bathroom, we're all in for a LONG ass year.

Jasmine's POV
Bumping into Jenn and her little lapdog, destiny, was not something I needed to see on my first day back. I couldn't stand Jennifer, for as long as I've known her she's always been a bully and always put on a fake innocent act around other people.
"You should've hit that bitch." Meghan says while looking in the mirror.

I laughed and shook my head, truth is those are my old ways. I'm not that loud and violent bitch I used to be, but if it comes down to it the old me will for sure come outta retirement. "It took a lot in me not to. But I'd hate to fuck someone up so early in the year." I looked over at London, and she gave me a look that I knew all too well.

"Jas, get your brother." She said while showing me her phone. Me and Meg gave each other a knowing look. Reggie has always had a fat crush on London, and she can try to deny it all she wants but I know deep down she's feeling him just as much as he's feeling her.

"He just feeling you, Lo. Maybe you should give him a little time of day." I said before laughing. London rolled her eyes and pushed past me and Meg out the bathroom. She'll come through one day, until then we can keep rolling with this fake narrative.
