~Teach Me How To Love~

~Five~

The sun was shining today, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. The weather was so lovely that Tatiana decided to jog around the track field. She had already been out there for about 20 minutes and was taking a quick break.

Tatiana heard loud laughing, so she turned around, and she saw Danté, Mitch, and Michael. She noticed that Danté had a football in his hand

No wonder they're so arrogant. They're jocks. She thought to herself

She also couldn't help, but to took at Danté he was looking good. He was shirtless and had on a pair of basketball shorts. Tatiana couldn't help to look at his muscles.

"Hey," An unfamiliar voice said, almost scaring the life out of Tatiana. She placed her hand over her chest, trying to catch her breath, "I'm sorry I scared you, but you were staring at them pretty hard."

The short light skin girl said. She was pretty and was probably mixed.

"Oh. I. Was just..." Tatiana couldn't seem to find the right words to say causing the girl to laugh

"Its okay anybody would stare at Danté Hamilton; he's like the sexiest guy at this school," The short girl said
"And ignorant" Tatiana added

"Yeah, he can be pretty rude sometimes, but he's actually a pretty decent guy to hang out with," She told her, "My names Cameron by the way."

"I'm Tatiana," she introduced herself. "Hey, do you happen to know anything about Michael's whereabouts?"

Tatiana asked. She wanted to save her best friend, the heartbreak that was coming to her if she didn't open her eyes. Sometimes she thought that it was pathetic that Nicole thought this guy loved her and that she was going around saying how she loved him, making herself look stupid. Almost everyone knew about how Michael got around with the females on campus, and yet Nicole didn't want to listen to it.

"About how he's always sleeping with these females? Who doesn't know."

Told you.

"Well, his girlfriend is my best friend, and she won't believe a word that I say when it comes to Michael, she thinks that I'm jealous or something. But I'm not at all" Tatiana explained to Cameron

"She's probably just in denial. She doesn't want it to be the truth, but it is." Cameron explained, and it did kind of make sense, but she still didn't understand why Nicole always brings up about Tatiana being single and never trusting a man. She had her reasons, she's seen her father mistreat her mother, and they always talked about it on Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos.
It was all Tatiana's decision, not Nicole's, so she had no right to criticize her. If Nicole were even Her best friend, she would support her decision, not go against it.

Tatiana looked over at Danté again because he was laughing. Mitch was on the ground holding his private area while groaning in pain. Michael was standing over him, grinning as well. She noticed a female was walking away and she flipped her hair

"He tried to get her number, ended up saying the wrong thing, and got kicked in his third leg" Cameron laughed then looked at Tatiana. "What are you thinking about."

"Nothing at all. Hey, do you wanna go get a smoothie with me?" Tatiana suggested picking up her gym bag off the bench. Cameron agreed, and they went off to Kusko's Smoothie Shack.

Nicole ordered her banana mango smoothie, and she sat down at the table to drink it. She was sitting at the table that was in front of the door so she could see who was coming in and who was going out

Once she looked up, she saw Tatiana and Cameron walking in together laughing. She didn't know why but she got heated. She thought Tatiana was replacing her already.

She got up from the table and pushed both of them out of the store. Cameron was about to swing on her, but Tatiana grabbed her arms before her fist could connect with her face. Nicole was breathing heavy.

"What the hell is wrong with you
Nicole?" Tatiana questioned irritated

"Who the hell is she?" Nicole snapped, pointing to a furious Cameron. Tatiana started laughing and pushed Nicole back.

"You sound like my boyfriend or something." Tatiana couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'm serious, Tatiana, who the hell is she. Are you trying to replace me?" Nicole questioned as she started to get upset

If Tatiana was planning to replace Nicole as her best friend, she was going to be broken. Nicole told Tatiana everything about herself. Things that she would never tell anyone else, not even Michael. Nicole saw Tatiana as her big sister because she always listened whenever she needed to vent to her. There's never a day when Tatiana wasn't there to help her through the pain, and after the argument they had yesterday about the Michael situation, and now seeing her walk in the Smoothie Shack with another girl smiling and laughing. It started to break her.

It's not that Nicole thought Tatiana was trying to take away her happiness with Michael. It's just that She hated hearing her say that all men were the same because they weren't. Tatiana was going off of what she's seen not based on experience. That's what was making Nicole upset; you can't talk about nothing unless you've been through it.

"Relax, Nicole" Tatiana finally said, "She's just my new friend that I met at the track field."

Nicole felt her body relax, and she looked over at Cameron, "I'm sorry. I just thought-"

"It's fine," Cameron said, cutting her off she had a bit of attitude in her voice.

"Nobody's trying to replace you, Nicole. I would never do that," Tatiana explained. Nicole gave her a weak smile. She felt so embarrassed.

They walked back inside and sat at the table. Tatiana and Cameron talked while Nicole just sat there, not knowing what to say.

"Nicole is the jealous type," Tatiana laughed. Cameron put on a fake laugh, and Nicole caught onto it. Nicole already apologized, so Cameron had no reason to have an attitude still. It was an accident. She needed to get over it. Honestly

"Are you still upset?." Nicole questioned
"Excuse me?" Cameron asked, and her body tensed up

"You heard me. Are you still upset because I pushed you? It wasn't even that serious. I barely even touched you" Nicole said raising her voice and causing attention

"I am still upset. You had no right to put your filthy ass hands on me, bitch. You don't even fuckin know o me" Cameron snapped and now everyone in the building was looking at them

"You guys calm down y'all causing negative attention" Tatiana tried to warn them, but they wasn't listening to her

"I clearly said it was a mistake. And I clearly apologized for it, so why don't you take your head up out your ass and just let it go" Nicole snapped. Now she was standing up. So was Cameron

"My head isn't in my ass you dirty bitch" Cameron poured her smoothie on Nicole's head "if anyone has their head up their ass it's you because you too stupid to see that your so-called nigga Michael is cheating on your stupid ass and you dumb enough to still be with him."

The next thing you know is Nicole's fist connected with Cameron's face, and they ended up on the floor fighting. Nicole got on top of Cameron and started beating her in her face which goes to show that Nicole doesn't play when it comes to her man

"Keep Michael's name out of your mouth, you stupid ass hoe. He isn't cheating on me, and I wish you all would stop saying that dumb shit. Nobody knows what the hell they're talking about, and it's getting on my nerves."

Nicole gave Cameron one good punch in the face, and her nose started bled "You finna pay to get my hair redone too bitch" Nicole added

This was not going well at all.
