Tayanna just wasn't Tayanna anymore. That was the only solution because the girl I knew would never switch up for a boy she met. There was just no way.
I couldn't think last night let alone sleep. I went straight on my balcony , rolled myself my own blunt and let it hit. Prince called me a few times but I ignored him. I had a feeling he was hiding something from me and that made me extremely uneasy and wonder if anything he'd told me had been true.
I woke up in the morning feeling lagged. I clasped my hands together and asked god to do me a favor. I got on my knees and put my elbows on my bed looking towards the ceiling.
"God, I know that we don't speak that much. But I ask that you keep watching over me and protect my family. I ask that you continue to bless my family. And god I ask that you please please let all the dark demons in my life come to light..." I opened my eyes. "Mom please help him."
When I got to school that day I just simply wasn't in the mood. To my surprise, I actually really liked this school. The girls for the most part were nice and their wasn't much drama.
I walked in to Sociology 2 minutes before the bell. Only half the class was there. Angelica and 'the rubbers' as Ryanna called them were all standing at the desk next to mine socializing.They watched me as I came in and sat down next to her. I looked at my phone since we had two minutes left and seen I had 3 more missed calls from Prince. Okay, I was being dumb. Why was I mad at Prince for something I didn't even know. And why was I letting Tayanna, a girl who obviously I didn't know very well change my opinion of him, a boy who's done nothing but show me how much he cares for me and wants me in his life.
-Hey, sorry my phone has been acting weird. Come pick me up from school at 1❤️
I texted him and when I felt stares and whispers from the group next to me I turned to see them.
"You're mad pretty," Angelica said. The friends around her agreed in cheerfulness and maybe if I didn't know what she was capable of I would of been more friendly. I was tired of the unauthentic bullshit.
"Thanks." I said shortly and turned back to my phone. I could tell her and her friends were shocked by my rude manner. They probably thought I was going to fall out in gratitude and beg to hang out with them. Even if I hadn't known what I knew I still would never hang out with them.
I swear everybody gives off a vibe. You can know everything you want to know about someone just by the aura you can detect. I knew everything I needed to know about Angelica without her even ever speaking to me. Her and the girls she hung out with walked around this school like they paid more tuition than anyone else. Granted they were beautiful, but so were a lot of girls in this school. They needed to humble themselves because this is a Catholic School and god doesn't like ugly.
Angelica's Point Of View
When lunch had finally arrived I couldn't be more ecstatic. That meant seniors had one period left and could leave. Sasha, Aaliyah and I sauntered into the cafeteria sitting ourselves in our usual spots waiting for a few other girls to join us. I wasn't having a bad day but something felt off. I woke up in that morning with that anxiety feeling like something crazy was about to happen today.
Already that new bitch had found herself turning my lunch invitation down. We didn't just invite anyone to come sit with us just the elite pretty girls that were like us. Sasha sent her picture in our group chat last night and out of uniform she was a fly little jawn. She looked like she had potential but if she hung out with us we would definitely take her to the next level. Her loss though because she found herself having a little stank attitude when we invited her.
I watched as Laylani walked into the lunchroom with Ryanna and the white and asian girl she was always with. Aha, it all made sense, Ryanna probably planted information in her head that made her not want to sit with me. Okay bitch, two can play that game. And just know whatever I start I finish.
"I need those Maroon 6's that come out next week. They are a must!" Aaliyah spoke bringing me out of my daze.
"Yes, yes. I already have the perfect fit to wear To Micheal's house party next month." Sasha added referring to the line backer at the all boys street across the street.
"What ever happened to that boy who worked at Foot locker Angelica?" Sasha and Aaliyah turned their attention to look at me. "He called you?"
"Yeah," I lied. In all actually, he hadn't called me. It was the strangest thing. I had never been turned down by a guy before and it made my skin crawl a little bit. I couldn't admit it to my friends as that was embarrassing. "He's kind of boring though. Always busy..."
"Oh well, his loss." Sasha smirked at me and I gave her the same face back. I wish I had found out more about that boy. Whenever I go to foot locker he never seems to be there anymore. I can't help but remember how mouth watering he was when I first saw him. He had that mean face that made him look like a savage and his tattoos spread across his arms made him look even more alluring. His bleached white smile had looked perfect against his dark brown mahogany skin.
I think the fact that he never called me intrigued me more about him. I wasn't use to being turned down and it made me feel like I needed to just try harder instead of give up. I secretly loved a challenge because things were handed to me my whole life. I didn't even have to work for much but things I had to work for to attain were always much more satisfying when I eventually got.
The next two periods went by swiftly and before I knew it seniors were being dismissed for the day. I walked outside of the school and other senior girls filled the front steps. I sat with Sasha, Aaliyah and two of our other friends as we waited for the Uber Aaliyah's boyfriend has sent to us.
Laylani walked past us by herself. I sucked my teeth as she sauntered down the steps with the Givenchy bag that I had asked for two Christmas' in a row on her shoulder. She was to clutch. I didn't like any girl that made me feel threatened and in my alone thoughts were nobody else could hear I knew she did.
I watched her like a hawk as she walked down the steps. I spotted her come up to a black Lexus and the driver came out of the car. My eyes slit trying to focus my vision on the driver. I almost broke my neck trying to see as I saw who I thought I saw. The boy from Foot Locker took her into his arms with one arm wrapped around her neck and kissed her multiple times.
I swear my eyes were playing tricks on me because their was just no way. I didn't even know Laylani had a boyfriend she seemed like a square honestly. I was hoping she could be another little minion that followed me around and made me look better because they were pretty but not as pretty as me.
Utter annoyance filled through me as I saw the two embrace in each other and happiness filled through them.
Lol they found themselves being happy? We'll see about that.
