The struggle of acceptance (Jacob Latimore) ON HOLD!

Chapter 21: He is hurt and hurts her in return

*4 days later*

Jacob POV

"Jacob! Slow down!" I rolled my eyes and turned back to wait for Melissa to catch up.

"Hurry up man, we about to be late for first period."

She grabbed my hand and we continued to walk in the parking lot until an all black Mercedes pulled up in front of us. I stepped back and watched the passenger door open. Nani got out and fixed her sweats before bending over and grabbing her backpack. I looked over at Melissa's outfit and shook my head.

She had on a hot pink short ass skirt with a black crop too and heels, her face was full of makeup even though she didn't really need it. I then turn my attention back to Nani and smile. If you didn't know her outside of school, you'd think she was a complete bum. She wore grey sweats, some all black Hurraches, and a Nike shirt. Her curly hair was up in a high bun with a big underarmour headband. She didn't bother dressing up or wearing makeup because she couldn't care less about what others had to say. One of the many things I love about her is her natural beauty.

My smile turns into a frown as she walks over to the driver side and waves at some nigga.

"You need a ride home after school?"

His voice sounds familiar but I can't remember how I know him. He then turns the car around and I realize it's the same nigga from the college fair. I watch him stare at her ass and I speed walk over to her.

"Nani!"

She turns to look at me and keeps walking. I speed up and finally catch up to her.

"Nani who the fuck is that?"

I look back and Melissa is struggling to catch up to me because of her heels. That gives me a good 2 minutes to find out why the fuck this nigga is dropping my baby off to school.

"My friend." She turns to walk again and I catch up.

"You fucking him? Why the fuck he dropping you to school?"

"Who I "fuck" is no longer any of your concern."

"You wasn't worried about him earlier this week when you were in the closet with me."

"You say that like I wanted to be in there with you."

She rolled her eyes and kept walking, I continued behind her until we made it to the math hallway.

"Nani I know you hear me." I attempted to grab her and she shoved me off.

"What do you want from me? Like seriously? I don't fucking want to talk to you! Stop harassing me!"

At this point there was a crowd of people and Melissa was at my side.

"Don't nobody want yo hoe ass no way." I spat, looking her up and down.

Nani POV

"Don't nobody want yo hoe ass no way."

I cannot believe this nigga really was trying me. That's not what his tongue was saying on Monday in the janitors closet. With his thirsty ass.

Melissa busts out laughing and I cross my arms, shifting my weight to my right hip.

"Is something funny?"

"Yeah. It's funny because you really are a hoe."

I raised an eyebrow and dropped my backpack.

"Im a hoe? Does your boyfriend know what the fuck you do every weekend?"

Her eyes widened and she looked over at Jacob who's eyes were still on me.

"What? You can't speak now? Let's not forget that I saved your fucking life. I should've just left your ass there. Or maybe I should've hit your no good hoe ass with my car. That would've been pleasurable."

Everybody around us is whispering and Melissa is staring hard at me.

"Fuck you." She spat.

"You want to fuck me too? I guess you and Jacob have more in common than I thought." I smile and pick up my backpack, pushing past them as I heard everybody laughing at my last remark.

I go back into the parking lot and I hear Cali calling after me.

"Nani!" She looked at me before we both got into my car.

"Cali I hate this place. I hate it so much."

"I'm sorry, Nani. If it makes you feel any better, our friendship is the best thing that's happened to me."

I smiled and reached over to hug her. I'm truly thankful for Cali, without her I really don't know what I'd do.

"Can we go home? I just want to sleep."

Cali nodded and I pulled off, wiping my tears.
