The New Principal

Twelve

October 25th

Atlanta, GA

Robert Rihmeek Williams

I walked into the mall and walked around until I saw Nicki.

"About time. I sent that text centuries ago."

"She still here?"

"She left like 45 minutes ago. Can you please tell me why you took so long?"

"I took a small nap. I had to get my mind off the loss of that game."

"I told you! I knew you guys were going to lose. My $200 please.", she said holding her hand out.

"I'm about to spend money on you."

"Is that you making up for tomorrow?"

"You're still going to school tomorrow."

"We better have Friday off."

"I'll think about it. Where did everybody go?"

"Dante went to look at some shoes, Chris went with Rih somewhere, and Bey went to get food. I think."

"We have to really practice this week. The game is on Saturday and I heard the Chargers are hard to beat."

"Chris was going to go there if he didn't pull up his grades. I tutored him for the whole quarter and he's been having straight A's ever since."

"You going to the Halloween dance?", I asked.

"So I can fight another irrelevant bitch? I'm good."

"Did you and Holly talk after class?"

"We talked during lunch and when you were starting practice I talked to her. Was I really that loud for you to hear me?"

"Yeah. I was walking in the hallway and the teacher told me you were talking to her. That was nice."

"I met her in second grade. We were friends until freshman year. She started being a hoe so I kinda just cut her off."

"Why doesn't Dante like her?"

"She tried to have sex with him and he wasn't feeling her. She has messed with the whole entire football team."

"You told me Chris was on the football team. Did she mess with him too?"

"I wish Chris would. Rih would've killed him."

"I'm not that mean. I would probably break something, but when did you get here?", Rih said.

"I just got here."

I stopped walking and looked around then I saw someone from the school board meeting and I walked over to him.

"Oh. Hi Mr.Williams. Didn't think I would see you here."

"I didn't think the assistant principal would be here either."

"She was here?", she asked and I nodded.

"She's still following Onika and I really need it to stop."

"Well you have three choices. Restraining order, firing her, or suspending her."

"That's still not going to stop her. I might as well do the restraining order and see what happens."

"If she doesn't stop at the restraining order, I'll fire her."

"Thanks.", I said and she nodded.

I ran to where Nicki was and we were walking into Macy's.

"What you going in here for?"

"Clothes."
