Love That's Black & White

Then There Was Nicole

Tasha's POV

I made my way to the empty seat in front of this blond girl. "This seat is taken, Maleficent" she said. This bitch. "Nicole, just stop it alright" the boy next to her said. "You can sit here, if you want to" he told me as he moved his things. "Oh. Well, thank you" I said as I sat down.

The teacher began talking & writing on the board when I got a tap on my shoulder. I jumped in shock. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to apologize about Nicole. She doesn't speak for all of us. Most times, we just want her to keep her trap shut" the boy said. "Thanks," I said as I went in my bag. "Can I ask you something?" "Sure" the boy said.

"What's your name?" I asked. "Nick. Nick Davenport" he replied. "Okay. Nick, not to be mean but you're going to need this" I whispered as I slid a piece of gum to him. "Oh. Well, that's embarrassing" he said as he started chewing. I just turned to face the front.

Nicole, I think that's her name, was starting to make me mad. "You're really going to accept that from her? She could've poisoned that." She says to Nick. "No she wouldn't have Nicole. Shut up" Nick replied. "Yeah, I heard her grandfather once strangled a man because he didn't give him enough change" said a black chick next to Nicole. My grandfather isn't the most inviting man in the world but I know he didn't do anything to anyone that didn't deserve it. I could feel the anger rising in me. I was passed mad. I was pissed. "Things" start to "happen" when I get pissed. "Her mother didn't even see her own father before now" the chick continued to say. "Guys, that's enough okay? Stop!" Nick was mad, not as much as me though. I was on the edge. I held back as long as I could until "her father left them for a better life. What does that say?" Nicole said. "Nicole SHUT UP!!" Nick yelled.

But it was too late. My powers got to my head. The ground started to shake. The light bulbs burst and the fixtures came down. Everyone ducked under their desks until it settled. Well, until I calmed down anyway.

"Are you okay?" Nick asked as he helped me up. "See? What did I say? I told you. Her kind is nothing but trouble." Nicole said. I had to get out, for my safety as well as everyone elses. "Tasha wait!" Nick yelled after me. But, I couldn't. I ran down the hall as fast as I could. "Nick? Don't worry. She's leaving now" I heard Nicole in the distance. "Get off me. What is wrong w/you?" I heard Nick reply. I ran straight home. I needed my grandpa, fast.
