He'll Thug For Me

I Love You Too

"He was going to give us an extension until you were able to come back and I was like no you're good. My girl's a trooper. I knew you'd pull through." Kira said as we waited for the bell to ring.

Ever since I been back this morning, everyone has been treating me so nicely. I couldn't believe it. But then someone brought up Mercedes.

Everyone thinks she was shot in a drive by. I hate it. I hate lying. I hate knowing the fact that Mercedes is dead. Because of me. She ain't supposed to be.

It's my fcking fault. I should've stood up for her like she did me.

"Oh yeah," I managed a smile.

"So like what's living with Jace like?" She asked. "Have you two...you know done the deeds?"

I smiled remembering this morning. Just thinking about it sent butterflies down my stomach and causing me to get a little tingly down there. There's no doubt that I want more but am I ready?

"We did...other things...very pleasing," I smirked. I couldn't believe I was telling Kira that but I had to.

"Oh my God really? Like I'm not attracted to him or anything but...damn Jace looks like he can put the moves on a bitch."

I couldn't help but laugh. She wasn't lying.

"Just like Rah Rah can..." Kira hurried and covered her mouth. She looked to me and muttered, "shit."

"You're fckin Rah Rah?" I asked in a low tone.

That's who she was talking about cheating on Flynn with? Is this bitch crazy? Then I remembered Flynn ain't shit. Cheat on Kira and I hope Flynn find out so they drop his ass.

"Yeah...we're meeting up today," she smiled, "I'm so glad I finally got that out. Almost a month having to hold this in was torture."

"So why are you tellin me, like I won't go run to Flynn?" I mean I wasn't cause fck Flynn for one, and two I'm loyal if you loyal to me. But real shit I wanted to know. Kira has been trusting me and it's just crazy.

"Cause silly, I know I can trust you, duh. Plus, Rah Rah is Jace's boy and you're my girl, it's only right," she responded.

Just then the bell rang, signalling for Mr. Dawson to come in. He strolled in and instead of heading to his desk like he normally did, he started clapping, with a big smile on my face. "Before class starts, I want to just let Maia know how happy we are to see her return back. You scared everyone, we're just all glad you're alright."

I sent a small smile, if only he knew what it took for me to be here, "Thank you, sir.'

"Just stay clear of deers, alright?" He smiled before heading to his desk.

Everyone thinks I was riding with someone that didn't see the deer on the road and spun to avoid it, and that we crashed into the tree. Surprisingly no one, not even Kira has asked me who the other person was or if they're okay. I mean I have the lie already formed, but shit I might not even have to lose it.

For the rest of school, everyone remained cool with me. I was actually happy to be back. I'm glad Jace made me go.

"See you tomorrow girl," one of my classmates said to me as we walked out of school.

"You know it," I smiled. I watched as she headed to the bus area and I went straight. When I didn't see Jace's car around, I looked around to see everyone slowly but surely clearing out. Then I thought back to him saying he was going to be a little late.

I decided to walk to the library and wait. For old time sakes.

I texted Jace and let him know. While I was making my way to the library I thought back on having a brother. I wonder what he was doing with his life right now? Probably being successful, while I was being...Maia. He probably looked just like mom.
