I was on the bus going to school. Usually Red and I would walk, but Red had suggested we take the bus. Everyone apart from me and Red was talking about the chicks they beat on the weekend, as me and Red were somehow the only two girls on the bus. Dirty fuckers. Makes me sick. James nudged me and I took out my headphones. “Aye Jessie, come it’s our stop.” I looked out the window and realised that it was indeed our stop. I hadn’t even realised we’d got this far. I stood up and followed behind the rest as we all synchronized our footsteps together. Just minuets later and we had reached prison and were located to our cells. In other words we had reached school and rushed to our forms.
Within minuets of being in my first lesson and I got sent to another class. I was told to sit at the back, luckily Red was in this class.
“What happened?”
“I got sent out.” She laughed. “For being ‘smart’.” I continued quoting with my fingers.
“What did you do this time?”
“Well Mr Hynes had his zip down and he told us to get our equipment out. So I said, ‘looks like you’ve already done that for us’ pointing to his manhood. I think he only got upset because everyone was laughing at him. Stupid prick.”
She laughed along with me.
“You say it like you’re not the one in the wrong.”
-Reyes
I had just got to school and was standing outside waiting for the bell. When it finally went we all made our way to form.
“Rey!” Naomi shouted out once she had seen me enter the classroom. I inwardly rolled my eyes and sat down. She approached me all smiles, again shouting, this time a little more irritating because she was closer. She pulled me into a tight hug and inhaled me. She had always told me that I smelt nice but, I could never say the same about her. Nothing was special about her. She didn't stand out from the rest. Although I didn't quite know what I wanted, I knew that she wasn’t it.
She ran her small hands along my back before letting go. She looked me directly in the eyes, waiting for me to greet her. “Morning beautiful.” I struggled to say, but hid it behind my fake smile. It’s not that she was for from it, she just wasn’t anything to scream about. I kissed her lightly on her lips, feeling nothing. She sat on my lap, wrapping her slender arms around my neck.
“I missed you. Tried to call you, but it went to voicemail.” She looked upwards as she recalled the event.
“Yeah, I was busy init.” She nodded her head slowly, with a straight face, but her eyes said it all. She was upset. Maybe it was because of what I said. I didn't even mean to upset her. I just don’t see why I must spend all of my free time with her. “Gimmie a kiss.” I demanded politely hoping it would cheer her up. Nothing worse than having an upset, annoying person. They make you feel guilty, as though it’s your fault their upset. She played with my tongue for a while before pulling away. She rubbed my thigh softly. Her eyes glistening. She bit down on her lip. I was impressed with myself for being able to do those things to her.
“Rey, I want you now.” I forcefully, but calmly pulled her out of the class with me.
I rolled up a zoot and lighted it. I watched her put her clothes back on in silence. I blew out the smoke, still watching her every move. “What’s wrong?” I asked sensing there was a problem.
“Nuffin.” She answered sharply. I inwardly sighed.
“Come ‘ere.”I patted my lap and she sat on me. “Want some?” I asked offering her my zoot. She shook her head. “So you gonna tell me what’s wrong?” she sighed.
