Not That Bad Bein A Side Chick

Leading Up

I couldn't believe the shit that I had just done.

I walked in and Leigh was on my couch in the front room with Myesha. "We kissed" I whispered to Leigh. Her face was like 😱. She was just as shocked as I was. "You lucky you didn't get caught. The whole time y'all was flirting and stuff, yo mama kept on peeking out the door" Leigh told me. "Oh and I thought he was cuffed by that Alexa chick?" "I don't care what my mama think.🍵☕☕ She ain't gone find out. And I didn't think about that til after." "Damn. Look like you got shit to handle. But uh I gotta go. We both got school tomorrow" I gave my fave a hug and she left.

All that night all I could think about was D'Ron. Why did he do some scandalous shit like that to Alexa? Why had his mood completely change in a day ? What did he feel about me? And most importantly what did I feel about him?

The thought that I loved him came across my mind. But I could. I was only 12 and he was 15. "Fuck that" I thought. Our age has brought us closer if anything. I'm not ready to love for a long time. I got plenty of time for that and just like that the thought was gone and I was off to sleep.

The next morning I got up and prepared for my first day of 7th grade at St.Annes. I went to Catholic school since last year. Why? I don't really know I just did. D'Ron hated it but my mom wasn't going to have me at Overtown Park South Middle School.

I wore my red uniform polo, black unform shorts that stopped at my knee and red Converse. This girl down the street said she had a friend transferring to St. Anne's and to look out for her. Name was Maliyah.

I got to school and everybody was like "Omg. Monica your back!" Yeah I was back I only missed the first damn day. Gosh.

At St. Anne's seventh graders got to pick lockers after the eighth graders. Our lockers aren't what you think. They little 6 by 6 inch cubbys stacked on top of each other in your home room . I got to my locker I picked out and it had somebody else's name on it. I was pissed.

My got damn locker was all the way on the top just cause some chick thought that I wasn't coming back. Bitch.

That locker shit wasn't nothing. I was ready to go home and see if D'Ron would be there. I was hoping this day would breeze by.

St. Anne's was a little weird. Even though I'm in the 7th grade it's still like I'm in elementary school. You switch classes and all but it's with the same group of people to every class. Last year I was in 6Q. Sixth grade and the social studies teacher Mrs. Quincy for the Q. But anyway I was I assign to 7D.

First hour, social studies. I came in and stood in the front of the classroom cause I wasn't here yesterday. I still wasn't all the way there. I was spaced out thinking about D'Ron and how I should take this all in.

The new girl Maliyah was in 7D too. St. Anne's was small so you only got about 2 or 3 new kids in your grade each year. Maliyah was my height, light brown hair. She was pretty. Even though she had a mole on her face. It was still pretty to me.

The rest of the day zoomed by and I kept replaying last night in my head over and over again. I just couldn't get enough.

Maliyah and I became friends almost instantly. She was a cheerleader and I'm a dancer so we had a lot in common. And the school she transferred from I knew a lot of people there.

I got home and seen no D'Ron. I was upset. My uniform was bothering me so I changed and decided to see what Leigh and Delshawn had going on.

There was no need to knock cause we where always toghther to I just walked in.

Going up the stairs a hear a lot of voices. Delshawn friends was here. I walk up the stairs to see a fine ass D'Ron .
