Heaven.

THIRTY

September 26, 2017

I walk into Toronto High School hearing the usual familiar buzz of students chattering in the hallways. Heather is next to me with earbuds in but aware of her surroundings. Yet, my mind is elsewhere, my expression calm but focused. I know the drama is bound to pick up again now that Maya and Jasmine are back.

In the cafe, Zianna sits into the seat next to me. "So, you ready for today? Maya's suspension is up, and you know she's gonna start." I roll my eyes. "I'm so over it. She's doing all this for attention. Myles doesn't even want her." I reply just knowing today is about to be one of them day's. "She's delusional but don't worry I got you if she tries it." We interlocked pinkies. We heart Zi always.

The morning classes pass quickly with small whispers spreading about Maya's return. I try to stay focused, then I noticed Myles walking in late to third period. Myles shoots me a glance as if to say, it's about to go down. I just roll my eyes because next period is lunch and we all should know that's when drama goes down.

—
I could already feel the tension, I'm currently waiting for my Chick-fil-a because it's what I've been craving lately but yesterday that line was too long. Once they call out my order, I grab my food and head to my usual table, where Zianna, Heather, Kat, Millie, Rose, Sophia, and Sadie are already seated. Jasmine appears moments later, sliding into a seat across from me. She spoke to everyone before placing her wings and fries down.

"You ready for the circus?" Jasmine asks slickly before dipping a fry into ketchup. I hear Kat snicker a bit, "Ion got time for her." I say before picking up a nugget. Out of nowhere, here goes my sister approaching the table. "What's with the attitude? You've been tight-lipped all morning." She says to me with a confused stank face. Ugly ahh lil girl.

"Nothing," I say nonchalantly. "Just trying to get through the day without Maya's nonsense." I just feel her coming to this cafeteria. Heather raises an eyebrow. "If she even looks at you sideways, you better let me know. I'm not playing with her." Zianna laughs. "I think we're all on the same page. Maya's got too much mouth for no reason." Jasmine chimed in. "All that mouth but can't fight so I'm confused." I chuckled.

All of that starts coming to an end when we see those doors open followed by an "Guess who's back!" and let the drama begin. She's about to approach us in 3...2....

"Heaven!" Angry bird voice screeches throughout the cafe and everyone turning their heads to look at me. She start storming over to the table as if she was about to whoop my ass.
I'm going to kindly stand up, I see what type of girl Maya is already.

"You got something to say about me and Myles?" Girl bye. "Myles and I boo. Anywho.. whatever I said regarding whatever you think you both have going on in private, I already told you in person." I say nonchalantly, unfazed as fuck.

"Enlighten me, tell me again." Don't piss me off. "Okay Dory, what I said was you and Myles are not together. Never have been, never will be." Ms. Delu must've skipped her meds.

"We have literally been together since the summer time that's why he left you and your lil ass bestie in the first place. He wanted to be with my fine ass and said he you both were nowhere near as important as me." Stop the cap. He did stop coming around but Myles would never say that.

"Never thought dick can make a person that delusional." Heather speaks. "Now miss twin wants to be here for her sister awww" Heather looks at her confused as fuck walking up to her. "Repeat that." She says fake holding her ear. Oh shit. "Damn now bitches can't hear, I said-" Nothing actually cause Heather smacked the shit outta her.

"Better find someone else to play with stupid." All you hear is the cafeteria go crazy loud with Heather backing up to where she was. Me personally? Ain't going for that. Heather has this calm demeanor but that bitch energy? Shit is deadly. Maya on the other hand, holding her cheek, stumbling before trying to square up, mad as shitttttt.

"You think you can just hit me and walk away?!" Maya yells with her voice trembling, both rage and embarrassment. Heather doesn't flinch, staring her down. "You just learned what happens when you run your mouth. Test me again if you want another lesson." You know I'm surprised security isn't here yet. "You, your sister, and all your little friends think y'all run this school but you don't! Myles—" Maya starts but gets cut off.

"Maya shut uppppp." Myles finishes causing everyone to start going crazy again. I see why Lia and Q wanna be here, shit is funny. All you hear is mad whispers, "Wowww," "Oh my gosh?!" "Where did he come from?" "Damn I thought Maya was bad but this is crazy work," and etc.

"You're embarrassing yourself. Again." Everyone gasps through the crowd as Myles steps into the circle, looking beyond tired. Yeahhh O3 just get ready for his rant. Maya's mouth opens and closes like a fish out of water. Ew. "Excuse me?" Now look who's deaf.

"You heard me," Myles says straightforward with this ice cold ass tone. Ouch. "I'm not your man, I NEVER was. I've told you that. I don't know how many times I need to say it but this is it. I'm done. We was only fuck buddies lil girl and you took this shit entirely too far. I never fucked a girl and had her go this crazy, you just don't know your place." Yikes. "But-" Maya speaks but he cuts her off again.

"There is no 'but.'" Myles' voice is firm. "Move on Maya. Stop coming at Heaven. Stop coming at Zianna. Stop coming at everyone on social media. Stop acting like we're something we're not. It's over. Go chase after new dick, I never wanted to be with you. To be honest bro I definitely got my eyes on a shawty right now I'm actually tryna bag cause she's bad as hell. Ain't gon say who though, don't need ya niggas in my business, but it's not Heaven. She's my best friend and we ain't going for none of that, that's like my whole sister. Her, Heather, and Zianna actually and ion like you disrespecting my family." Clock that. Even though Zi, Heather, and I know who he's talking about. The cafeteria goes deathly quiet though.

"I tried to tell you we was never on that and actually defended you before you was coming crazy at me first day. Everything he just said I was gonna say but he said it worse." I say slightly shaking my head. I feel bad but then again I don't cause it's like all of this could've been avoided bro.

Jasmine bust laughs loudly, shaking her head. "She's been living in a fantasy world, huh?" Everyone started looking at her and some started to laugh with her. Maya glares at everyone, her eyes darting between Heather, Heaven, Myles, Jasmine, and even Zianna. She looks like she wants to say something but the weight of the situation keeps her rooted in place. Heather steps forward one last time, her voice low but loud enough for Maya to hear.

"Now if you don't want another smack, I suggest you turn around and leave." Maya huffs, straightens her posture, and tries to fix her face. She's clearly upset and embarrassed but she doesn't wanna show it. "This isn't over," she says before stomping away. "Girl yes it is." Zianna yells out. As the doors swing shut behind her, the cafeteria erupts into a mix of yelling, laughter, chatter.

"That was better than Netflix." Zianna grins looking at me. So messy. "Oh girl boo. I'm just glad that's over.. well for now." I chuckle releasing my tension. Heather leans down beside me nudging me playfully. "You owe me for that one." She then walks away to her friends, if she don't get the fuck. "To keeping it real and shutting clowns down!"The table laughs causing the drama fading into the background as they go back to their food, knowing Maya's reign of delusion is officially over. Well for now at least...
