Chapter 2

It was the sound of a door slamming shut that woke Nicki up. Nicki stood up and stretched before sitting down again only to come face to face with a boy and by the looks of it a dope one too.

"Mornin shawty" he said looking her up and down putting his hand on his cap and licking his lips.

"My names not shawty" Nicki said rubbing her eyes and turning on her phone only to find out that its 10 minutes before the bell rings to be dismissed. Nicki jabbed Nastasia and started packing up.

"So whats ya name ma?" he asked still looking at her squinting. Nicki stopped what she was doing to return the look he gave her and leaned in real close.

"Why?" Nicki asked pulling away to tie her jordans.

"Why not, I like a girl who doesn't have morning breath even after shes been asleep all day" he replied smirking at her. Nicki grinned and looked around at the other people in detention. You had a few people she talked to and a girl far in the corner hiding. Weird how the shy ones always end up here Nicki thought.

"Im Troy," he said extending his hand only to pull back when he knew she wasn't going to shake it. "Ouch, harsh" he said feigning hurt.

Nicki laughed and shook her hair in her face. The teacher told us to pack up so she jabbed Nastasia again.

"Do you even go to this school?" Nicki asked him turning around in her seat to give him her full attention.

"I just transferred here" he said looking at the ground

"From where?" Nicki asked twirling her hair

"California" he said balling his fist so tight Nicki could see the veins in his skin.

"What happened in California?" Nicki asked snapping him out of his day dream. He looked at her confused than with a black stare.

"When I asked where you were from you balled your fist, so what happened there" Nicki asked giving him a stare down.

"Nothing you need to know" Troy snapped closing his eyes. Nicki slowly turned around in her seat to face Nastasia who was still sleeping.

"NASTASIA WAKE UP" Nicki yelled in her ear making her jump. Nastasia got up and rubbed her eyes than checked the time on her phone

"Oh shit lets go Nicki" Nastasia said rushing to put her stuff away.

The bell rang and everyone rushed out of detention and outside. Nastasia was way ahead of Nicki infact she was already talking to some girls about the fight that happened this morning. Troy caught up to Nicki and managed to slow her down.

"So Nicki huh?" Troy said grinning looking down at her

"It's weird, I don't remember giving you my name" Nicki said turning around to face him. A couple kids stopped to look but than passed by like nothing happened.

"That's cause you didn't" Troy said starring at her again. Nicki hated the way he looked at her so she put her head down.

"I gotta go" she said starting to walk away when Troy gently grabbed her hand pulling her back

"Ok when will I see you again shawty, I mean Nicki"

"I don't know" Nicki said walking backwards toward Nastasia and away from him. "Maybe in detention" she said loud before she turned around.

Troy starred after her but turned and walked away towards the main office "Oh we'll see about that" he whispered to himself smiling the whole time.
