CHAPTER 0

Fuck!

I groaned feeling tired as shit. I had just gotten back from track practice and now I had to change and head to the library for my tutoring session with some twelfth grader that went to the local high school around here. I tutored in English part time since it was always my strongest subject in school, plus I needed the extra cash. It's been about a year and some change since I've been enrolled at the University of Georgia. Haley and I still stay in the same apartment and things have been cool so far. Messiah and I were like two home skillet biscuits, but I ain't gon' lie and say that's all that we were. I low key had the tiniest crush on him and it didn't help that he loved on me like we were together. I mean I guess I wanted more, but I don't know. It's complicated.

Sighing, I shrugged out of my thoughts and allowed my gym bag to drop to the floor.

It made a loud thump sound when the bottom of the bag collided with the floor. I kicked off my shoes as well before heading straight for my bedroom.

I ignored the faint moans that came from Haley's room and shrugged. She was probably fucking some random that she met at the store or something. Since she didn't go to school and couldn't keep a job all she did was fuck. I ain't gon' judge her. What she do in her spare time is none of my business.

As soon as I as I got to my room I hopped in the shower. I ain't about to go anywhere smelling like all my life I had to fight. Nope, not I.

After a good twenty minute shower, I had gotten dressed before preparing my tutoring bag. I dropped in the notepad with the key points had to discuss with Charlie, my student, as well as a few pens, highlighters, note cards and such. I then checked the timing on my phone. I was supposed to meet the kid around five. It read 4:40. It only took me ten minutes to get to the campus library by car without traffic. Today was a pretty peaceful day and traffic was good so I should be good.

I slung my bag over my shoulder before leaving my room. The sounds of moans I heard before were now replaced by giggles. Well, this was new I thought. Haley usually kicked her flings out after sex. I chuckled lightly, I guess someone has finally tamed miss no love.

As I grew closer to the main part of the house the giggling became more apparent. It was coming from the living room. I smirked, nah he was just leaving.

"You going to come back later?" I heard her ask hopefully making me retract my earlier statement. Could this be? Has my little Haley actually caught feelings?

"I don't know man. Bambi and I had some things planned after she finished her session. I mean I might."

I froze at the sound of the word Bambi. Nobody called me that but........

"Messiah?!"

Oh, fuck nah! Are you fucking serious bruh? Where the fuck is Ashton? Somebody must be trying to prank my ass. I know well my two best friends are not shacking up. I looked at Haley with an 'explain yourself' look and then to Messiah in disbelief. I need some answers and I needed the now.

"Hey, Dite! When did you get in?" Haley asked in an innocent tone. I mugged her. If looks could kill. "Never mind that, what's going on here?" I asked gesturing between the two if that was even possible. There was like zero space between these two.

A pang of jealousy struck me in the pit of stomach as I scrutinized the two. The rational part of me already knew what was going on, but the heartbroken side needed it to be voiced.

"Uh, we'll we're kind of together. Isn't that good?!"

This heifer.

"So you mean to tell me you and Haley are together?" I asked in disbelief. Wow, my two best friends together. I just can't believe it.

How dare this bitch and this nigga stand in my face and say that shit to me. Her ass was smirking like she was the shit with his hand in hers.

Oh, this hoe.

I closed my eyes and sighed. He ain't your man Dite. With that thought in mind, I mustered up a fake ass smile for their asses.

"Well, congratulations. I guess. I am about to head to the library. I'll see you when I see you."

I quickly slung my cross bag over my chest and left their grimy asses in the apartment. Fuck it!

I mean how the hell are you going to tell me to go for Siah knowing that I liked him, but dig your dirty ass claws into him instead? His ass ain't any better. I can't believe his ass had the audacity to have me spread out all over his bed, up under him and shit being 'balls' deep inside a bitch, but then going to go fuck with my best friend. That shit foul as fuck bruh. But it's cool. It's cool. I will keep calm.

That's who he really wanted. Just an easy hoe. That ain't me. She can have him.

Stop that, Dite! She's your best friend. Don't let a nigga come between 18 years of a friendship. Sighing, I ran my right hand over my large curly fro. I really couldn't even be mad, though. We're not together, plus I never told him how I felt so it's not like he knew. I guess he thought we were just fucking. You know what it's whatever.I had to just let him go.

Let Messiah do Messiah
