13) You Like Me Or Nah?

Riley's Pov.

Man I love dodge ball! Its always a chance to hit a nigga without getting in trouble, plus them bitches were them shorts, know what I'm sayin? Heh.

They separate the boys and the girls, so I'm stuck with all these gay asses. In the changing room, I sit on one of the benches, tieing my shoes and eavesdrop.

"Hey man. You know Cindy?" One says and my ears become alert.

"You mean that white chick that acts black?"

I roll my eyes.

"She is hot. I just found out she's single, I was really surprised though since she's always with Riley."

"Dude! Right. I thought they were dating too, then I found out that Riley was with Paris...then they broke up. And man? Paris is fine. Its my turn to hit that."

"Good luck with that. I heard she only dates these black niggers..."

"Nigga what was that?" I speak up. Yea. I get that people call me nigga, but I know when the situation becomes racist.

"What you eavesdropping for anyway?" One snaps and I feel myself twitch.

"Yeah mind your own business, dude."

"You see..." I stand up and they tense up. "That's the last thing you should expect afta speakin 'bout mah homie, Murph."

"Yeah well....its two against one! So beat it!"

"What you say?"

"Uh oh."

Narrator's Pov.

After math class, Huey and Jazmine walk out together and meet up with Caesar on the way to the cafeteria. "Shoot!" Jazmine says suddenly, facepalming.

"What up, Jazz?" Caesar asks.

"I just remembered we had Spanish homework, I should go finish it before Mr Lopez kills me."

"You need help?" Huey asks.

"You don't even do Spanish, Huey."

"But I speak-"

"Yeah Yeah you speak a lot of languages, just lemme be a big girl and do this myself, kay? Save me some lunch!" Jazmine kisses him on the cheek before skipping away to the library.

Huey and Caesar look at each other. "Now. Where were we?" Huey says.

"When I stated that Khanye West will run for president?"

"That's stupid, Caesar. And you know it."

"Here we go again! I-" he stops talking when he sees the Chinese girl from earlier walking to the queue. "Y'know what? You go debate with yo self. Imma mac."

"I'll watch you crash and burn."

"Nigga shut up," Caesar walks away to the line and stands behind her. "Hey, Ming."

She looks back at him, a little startled. "Hey.....?"

"C'mon girl! We in the same class!"

She snaps her fingers. "Right! Sorry, Caesar. You all look the same to me."

"Yeah I don't blame you. All ya'll Chinese look the same to me too."

Jazmine sits in the corner around a secluded spot, alone at a table in the library. She hides her face in her book, reading and answering questions.
