Nothing Left to Lose -MGK fanfic-

Chapter 6- Tatie's pov

Last night was...awkward, to say the least, but at the same time it was enjoyable. I think me and Kellz are closer now because of talking to each other last night. What's not so enjoyable is his loud ass snoring all night and the fact that we have to get to school in 10 minutes and he still can't get his skinny ass up. At one point I thought he was waking up, but he was actually just talking in his sleep.
"Fuck clothes, and fuck hoes. Hunded dollas worth a munchies, truckloads."
Hm. Sounds like a pleasant dream.
I shook him one last time. "COLSON BAKER! GET THE HELL UP OR I WILL END YOU."
"That seems a little extreme," he smiled groggily. But his happy serenity was soon ended as he sat up abruptly with a terrified look on his face.
"What?" I asked, grabbing my books for school, "Are you suddenly afraid of missing class or something."
"Did we hook up last night?!?!" he asked nervously, putting his hands on my shoulders and shaking me. "Did I have a condom on??? Oh shit oh shit what am I gonna do!?!!!"
"Colson, relax! NOTHING happened last night. All we did was talk. I swear." He took a deep breathe.
"Okay. Sorry. I've come close to getting a couple girls pregnant in the past...and I wouldn't want that to happen. Especially not to someone I care about as much as you." My heart melted a little when he said that. Did he really care about me that much?

Kelly and I walked to school uneventfully. We passed some of the kids that pick on him, but he didn't seem to care. "The trick Tatie, is to not let them know they bother you. Keep ya chin up." That didn't exactly sound like a "trick" to me, it sounded like common sense, but it was still good that he wasn't letting those jerks wreck his self confidence.

Sitting through first period is always torture, but having my desk next to Kellz alway made it much more bareable.
"Okay class," Mr U began, "before we begin I'm going to be changing around the desk arrangement a little in order to, um, better accommodate everyone in the class, as some students have been having some trouble staying focused and on task throughout the class period." I could practically feel him staring at me and Kelly. Not literally, but on the inside, it was clearly us that he was talking about.
"Tatum and Leila, please switch seats."
What. The. Fuck. I was now sitting next to DaShaun, one of the biggest turdbags in the grade. He was one of the guys that was mean to Kellz. I knew in an instant that I didn't like this guy. And to make things even worse, I can already see Colson checking out Leila. Personally, I think I'm okay looking. But Leila? She's stunning. She has everything I don't have. She's tall, with thick, flowy dark hair and blue eyes. She's a nice golden tan, and has a perfect butt. How can I compete with that?!
"Okay class, now that we have that settled, let's move on with to today's lesson." Mr. U continued to drone on and on about something that I didn't even bother to remember, it was that boring. Mr. U is actually a pretty good teacher, he's youthful and kind and all that, but I just couldn't stop thinking of Colson. Back when I sat next to him, I felt like I could protective over him if anyone tried to fuck around with him. Now I know what you're thinking, a 6'4 dude can defend himself just fine. Certainly much better than a girl a foot smaller than him ever could. But it was just the emotional peace-of-mind that it gave me to be close to him.
Just as I was slipping into a daydream, I felt someone nudging my leg. I looked up to see it was the guy next to me, DaShaun. He passed me a note. In sloppy handwriting, it said-
"hey"
I was pretty much obligated to respond since we were sitting right next to each other, so it would be kind of awkward if I didn't.
"Hey. What do you want?"
"i wanna tell u somthing"
"And that is?"
"ok so u hang around with that kid coleson, or kelly or wtvr he calls himself right"
"First of all, it's Colson, and he calls himself Kellz. No clue why. Why are we even talking about him? Wtvr your gonna ask, it's prob none of your business."
"i just wanted to warn you about him. he may seem innocent now...but u dont want to get involved with him. that punk is more messed up then youl ever know. hes been arrested and gets into fights and does drugs... he messed up."

"And I wouldn't want a beautiful girl like you getting involved with shit like that," he whispered.

How could I have not seen this from the start? DaShaun was right. Colson was messed up. And I certainly don't want people thinking that I'M messed up too.

"Thank you for looking out for me," I whispered back.
