Rich to Ghetto?

We need to talk.

As the bell is ringing for lunch i text Malik "Babe..we need to talk" as i press send my stomach does flips.. i hope he'll forgive me. Oh god maybe i shouldn't tell him..what if he breaks up with me, or what if he fights thomas..or if he tells all my secerts or i actually really hurt him..or "Everything okay babe? meet  me in the courtyard in 5" i look at my phone and then text back "okay" as i walk out of the class room i bump into Amy and she smiles "Everything okay white girl?" i half smile "Hmmm... Yeah everythings fine..thanks for asking" she frowns "okay white girl i may not know you all that well but i cant tell somethings up" i shurg my shoulders "That noticeable" amy throws her head back and laughs "hun your an open book" i look down at my feet "Hun its okay lets talk about it" i look back up at her and then at the window to the courtyard...well mines well i mean he'll understand "okay" so we walk back into the empty class together and she pulls the desk next to me "okay so whats on your mind white girl" i frown "Briley" she smiles and i look at her "I made a really really big mistake and im scared its gonna ruin something" amy looks at me "your gonna need to be more specific then that.. i promise i aint gonna go tell your bizz around school." i smile "Thanks, okay so the other weekend i went swimming with thomas and we were just having fun hanging out it felt normal and easy...and then we kissed..and i pulled away but i kissed him back and im with malik but were not public..and i feel bad because i cheated but it was easy with him and then its complicated with malik but i feel terrible and i dont know how to tell him" she takes a deep breath "oh i didnt know it was gonna be so complex" i frown "what do i do?" she looks at me and smiles "who do you like more?" i quickly reply "Malik obviously i mean im with him..but i dunno" amy looks at me "what my mama always told me was if you truly like someone you wont even think about someone else like that" i frown "i guess your right...Should i break it off with Malik then?" she frowns "now hunny thats up to you, me personally i'd tell him and then see how he reacts and how things go and if they dont look up with a week then maybe you should end it" i smile and hug her "thanks now i really need to get to the courtyard" i quicky hug her and run out to the courtyard and see malik sitting there waiting "hey babe sor--" he cuts me off  "what took so long we agreed to 5 minutes..you left me here worrying" i frown and go to hug him "im sorry" he backs up.. "were at school" i look at him and shake my head lets talk i say pointing the table the furthest away form the public. when we sit down he smiles "whats up" i frown "this isnt easy to say" i look up into his eyes "Are you breaking up with me" he asks i look up at him "Of course not!" he looks up "then what is going on Briley?" i look at my feet "Okay so last weekend when i went swimming with Thomas me and him were just being silly he threw me in the pool i dunked him and we were just hanging out like old friends then some people started yelling at him to kiss me already..then he kiss me at 1st i didnt kiss back but then i did.. but when i realized what i was doing i pulled away feeling so guilty.." he just looks at me "im really sorry, i really do like your Malik and i would never hurt you or anything on purpose it just happened." he looks at me then at the school "i gotta go to class briley" i look at him getting up and walking away. "MALIK" he turns around "What?" i feel a tear leak down my cheek "Please dont leave...we need to talk" he looks at me "Theres nothing to talk about?" i look at him and sit back down. "Malik please..you have to understand" he looks at me "i dont have to do anything!" i look at him "Please" he looks so pissed and walks away. i look at him walking away and throw my head back and look at the sky.  when i hear the bell ring i just sit there. once the last bell rings i realize im still sitting here in the same spot shocked and crying. when i look over to the side i see emily walking my way i run up to her and fall into her arms she looks at me and drags me back to the table "Briley what happened, you look like shit" i frown and almost begin crying again "I told malik..and now hes pissed and wont even talk to me" she looks at me "Im so sorry Briley...you kinda of have to understand he probally feels shitty...if you want you can sleep over at my place"  i hug her "thanks Emily" walking toward her car i see thomas and i whip my face  he runs over to me "Briley are you okay?" i look at him and so does emily "you've done enough thomas" emily spit at him he looks shocked and i look at em and before i know it i see malik walking over to us and he pushes thomas "leave her alone thomas" thomas looks at him and pushed back "oh now your protecting her..what happened to when i saved her why did i ask--" thomas is  cut off with a blow to the mouth i look at malik and scream "Malik dont!!" but its to late they are already fighting emily pulls me back and i look around to see people video tapping i yell "please stop" emily grabs my hand "Briley lets go" she looks over her shoulder at the security guards running up. i look at her "Briley lets go" she yells at me i quickly follow her. once we get home i pack my bag mrs. D looks at me "everything okay sweety?" i give her a fake smile "Yes, just going to sleep over at Emilys we have some girly things we wanna do" she smiles at me "oh please take me with you haha! so many boys here" i look over at emily she smiles "if you want you may come?" Mrs. D laughs "hun i gotta houseful of boys to take care of but thank you." we smile and walk out.

once getting to emily house my phone rings i look at emily "i dont know this number" she shruggs maybe you should answer it "Hello?" ......"Hello this is Malik calling from the Freds county jail, would you like to accept this collect call" i look at emily "its from malik hes on jail" i quickly press one to accept the chargers then i hear his voice "i only have a few minutes..but i need you to do me a favor i knew my mom wouldnt answer the call if she didnt know the number so i need you to call me mom and have her come pick me up." i nod "okay, sure, yes, of corse.. are you okay" i here the annoyence and pain in his voice "im fine..just get my mom" i nod "okay are you charged with anything?" i then hear a voice in the background "1 minute left" i frown "i have to go" he says then click the call is ended i look at emily "we have to go to mrs.D he is in jail and he needs her to come pick him up" here eyes widden "is he okay? how much is his bond?" i look at the phone then at her "he didnt say..and i think hes okay.." i look at emily "Well lets not just stand here and go get him" we rush back to the house and pick up mrs.D she looks at me "i dont know if i can afford the bail..what should i do?" i look at her "calm down mrs. D it will be okay i promise" she looks at me "i sure hope your right"
