Maria's POV
I know that I'm a nobody. But i at least had teachers or someone talking to me. Even Michelle steered clear from my path. She don't even mug me anymore. It's probably because she finally tured of beating up on me. Especially since i don't fight back anymore. Its been a week since i last talked to black beauty. I now know that her name is Kalithia Hardnett but she goes by Kali. She is really cool. But before i could befriend her, she kinda sent me a threat.
Flashback: Finally finding dentention hall, i sighed and walked into the class only finding the one and only black beauty. "Well well well." black beauty stated. Her feet were kicked up on the desk. "Looks like it's just me and you. Oh and Mr. What eva his name is for a hour. So get comfy." I looked at the sleeping teacher. He actually looked dead but if it was for his loud ass snoring i would have panicked. "I thought you said you would tell me your name." i said as i knocked her feet off and sat on the desk. I don't know where that courage came from but i was tired of being bullied. "It's kalithia but call me Kali." she shrugged. We talked and acted like we knew one another all our lives. As if i was normal and she wasn't the school's badass. Right before we left i asked her," Aye, what made you help me in the hall? You don't even know me." she laughed," Guh you the only idiot i know who don't put a fight with that bitch. If you did, you would know she can't even fight." I laughed as the bell signaled for us to leave that hellhole. "Maybe we ca..." She cut me off by lifting her hand. "Look i might have helped you but you need to steer clear from me. I got a bad rep and you need ta keep yo name clean. If people thought we were friends, you will sho nuff be hated. See ya!" end flashback.
Now i know what she meant. Because of her rep she fear ta have friends. Funny thing is i don't think i have heard anyone say anything bad about her. Maybe that's why people keep avoiding you. Look what you did. Omg! I'm going crazy. I'm talking to myself. Hoping in my silver buick, I pulled off and headed to lunch. I be damned if i eat that nasty sh..." OH FUCK!!" I slammed on my brakes. Jumping out my car i looked at Kali. "Wat da fuck yo!! I coulda ran yo lil black ass ova! Do you gotta death wish?" i yelled looking crazy. She hoped in my car and waited for me to get in. I pulled off and gave her a side glance. Hell is wrong wit da guh... Coulda had a hit n run charge fucking wit ha! She was wearing a white fitted crop top and black skinny jeans with rips in em. Along wit black combat boots. Her hair was bone straight and she had on studded earrings. See why i called her black beauty? I looked out at the road," Why the hell were you in da middle of the street yo? Did it occur to you that i coulda killed you? Do you wanna get me locked up?" glancing at her "Do you hea m...?" She was crying into her hands. Damn did i make her cry. I shut up and pulled up at McDonalds. I turned and looked at her. She looked so broken and fragile. I leaned in ...
Kali POV
She was yelling at me and and threw questions here and there. I blocked Meme out because i couldn't hold it in much longer. I just finally broke down as her question "are you tryna die" kept ringing in my head. I actually wished she would have went ahead and hit me. So i wouldn't have to deal wit this no mo. Why would people treat you so bad and you try your best to do good? Before i realized what was going on, Meme was leaning towards me. She pulled me into a much needed hug. I hugged her back tightly. From all the rumors floating around in that school, she is the only person that actually wanna be my friend. I had ta tell her not to talk to me though. I don't do nun but bring drama. She already get bullied so ian tryna cause mo commotion. Yeah i knew she was gay. So what? She cool asf and a good person. The way she look at me tells me that she see the good in me. Stop crying and feeling sorry for yourself. Pull yourself together.
"Why don't you come in and eat with me? Come on. I know something is bugging you." said Meme. I nodded and got out. Picking a seat in the corner, i waited for her to bring the food. Maybe being friends won't hurt. No one else talks to me or even ecknowledge my existence. Truth be told i am an all A student. I just get in trouble because i be bored. No one know me and they don't try.
"Here. Try eating this. If you feel up to it you can enlighten me on whats wrong." she smiled. I grinned and ate in silence. Why bother her wit my probelms if she can't help me. There is no point in letting her in. Because she can actually be a good friend. She just bought you food too. You can't keep her away foreva. Be grateful because if it wasn't fa her, you would be starving. "Thanks Meme. I'm just going through some stuff and i can't help but be mean." I said truthfully. She giggled," I see. You almost made me run your ass over. But it's cool. Count this as a thank you for beating Michelle ass." I mugged her. She is just to damn cheery. "Stop mugging before your face get stuck." she stated. Then she crossed her eyes and stuck out her tongue. I burst out laughing. That made me feel a little better. I figured what the hell. Can't get any worst than this. I told her how my father was abusive and beat me. Then how my parents gave me up for adoption last week. That was where all that anger came from when i whooped Michelle ass. Then i explained how every night since then i have been living on the street. I started explaining how i go days without food and i only be mean because a bitch be hunger and cause of my past. "So what is this rumor you keep warning me about? You can't possibly think that it's because of your attitude or you fighting?" Meme said. I sighed," Well, rumor is that i had my real parents offed and the people i lived wit were cover ups. All because they sent my lil bro up too new york." Shaking my head, i laid my head down on the table. She tapped me and i looked up. She looked unphased. "Now tell me the truth behind the rumor." Meme said looking me in the eyes. "My brother was given to my grandma back in New York. Simple as that. He was the golden child and no one wanted to deal with me up there. Well that's what my mama always tell me." I groaned. "Have you called your grandma and asked yourself? Or tried to contact yo brother? What is his name anyway?" "Nathaniel and no phone." I mumbled. "But i'm gonna get my brother back. He was my life. I loved him like he was my own." Just wait Nate, I'm coming to keep my promise.
"Well I'm sorry you gotta go through allat. But I'll tell you dis, you are technically an orphan. Yo parents abandoned you. I'm not in the best place but you can stay wit me. My parents are barely home and we have more than enough room." she stated. Before i could decline, she was throwing her trash away and heading out da door. Should I decline and stay homeless or finally receive help? ·_· She seem like good people. Hell, no one cares anyway. I got up and followed her to the car. No one will even notice.
