~Camara~
By the time class ended, everyone turned around to give me dirty looks. They all shook their heads and one girl thought it was the right thing to do by throwing a pencil at me. It hit my head and looked over at the dumb bitch. She snickered to herself and I just rolled my eyes. The bell had rung and I took my book bag and rushed out the class. While walking down the crowded hallway, I saw Priscilla. She was talking to that stupid nigga who was in my homeroom and in English. How awkward can this get?
I tried to walk by a little faster so she wouldn't notice me but she ended up calling me over. My heart dropped from chest down to my feet. I didn't want to even face him after what happened. How ironic? He's talking to my best friend. I sighed then put a small smile and walked over there slowly. He had finally lifted the brim of his hat up to reveal his eyes. They were clear and actually cute.
"Hey Pris!"
"Camara. I want you to meet Adarius"
"Nice to meet you" I said not looking up at him. He still didn't say a word to me. "You know what...I gotta get to my next class. See ya later Pris"
"Aight. Bye" She said turning back to look at Adarius. As I was walking away, I could hear his voice. It was actually not that bad, not as bad as I thought It would be. Since he hasn't talked to me and probably never will, I won't be hearing it for awhile.
I walked around a corner and bumped into a random girl. She pushed me against the wall so hard my book bag fell off my shoulder.
"Excuse yourself dumb bitch!" She yelled at me. I balled my fist up out of anger but then remembered what my mom said. She didn't like me fighting nor did my dance teacher. I just picked my bag up from the ground and mumbled the words "Sorry" to her. She pushed me again.
"Say it louder hoe!" She was really testing my patience but I didn't have time for her. Class was about to start in a minute. "I'm sorry!" I yelled at her. She smirked and nodded. "That's what I thought" Her and her girls were laughing and looking at me as they went by. I kept walking to get to my next class.
By the time, the day was over, I didn't see any sign of Priscilla. I took my phone out to see if she had texted or called me but she has'nt. I was getting worried until I looked around and saw her getting into Adarius' car. I walked over there.
"Hey! Your not riding the bus?"
"Nah girl! Adarius is giving me a ride"
"You sure you wanna ride with him?" I said but in a lower voice.
"Yes I'm sure. Nothing is wrong with him. Maybe there is something wrong with you"
He started the car and pulled away from the curb almost making me fall onto the ground. I watched as Priscilla drove away with a guy I could'nt even bare to look at. I then turned around to see my bus getting ready to pull off. I quickly ran over to it and demanded the doors be open.
"Be on time Ms.Camara. I'm on a tight schedule"
"Sorry Ms.Wright" I said as I sat in the empty seat that Priscilla and I use to sit at.
The bus ride was taking to long. I wasn't ready to go home but I had to drop off all my schoolwork and book bag. It was to much weight on my shoulders. Once my stop came up, I could see Darnell coming to it.
"What the hell is he doing home early?" I thought to myself. I hesitated almost panicked. I didn't want to get out but before I could hide, the bus driver yelled my name.
"Camara! Your stop is here. Out you go" I nodded and slowly walked down the aisle and down the three steps of stairs. Darnell helped me out.
"Good afternoon beautiful" He said with a grin while kissing my cheek. The bus pulled off and Darnell grabbed my hand. He had a tight grip on it while he was dragging me into the apartment building and up the stairs to where we live.
"What do you want from me?"
"You were a bad ass this morning" He said as he opened the door. He threw me onto the couch.
"Look! Get away from me before I kick you in the dick again!" I said as began to kick all over the place just to keep him back.
"That's not going to happen this time"
"And why you think that? I can hurt you" He laughed and shook his head.
"Your such a pathetic trick!" He yelled at me and began to come closer. I was kciking faster but something else had my held my legs down. It was Darnell's friend Marquis.
"What the hell! Get the fuck off me" I tried to move my legs but they would'nt budge. He had a good grip on them.
"Look at them perfect legs" His friend said to Darnell. They were both looking at me like some kind of rapist. I was scared as shit. I was hoping for my mother to come in catch them but that wasnt happening. Instead, the door was beginning to jiggle a bit and Marquis let me go. I quickly ran into my room and locked the door.
"Hey baby!" I could hear my mom's voice say as she walked through the door.
"What you doing back so early?"
"The boss let me off early. Actually...he let quite a few of us off early"
"Why? Something wrong?"
"He didn't say..." She shrugged and went into the kitchen.
I was breathing fast and heavily. A knock at the door made me jump and I was afraid to answer it.
"Camara! Girl if you don't unlock this damn door!" She yelled at me. I sighed in relief when I heard my mothers voice.
"Oh sorry Mom."
"Child why is this door locked?"
"I needed privacy"
"Privacy!?!?"
"Yes mother...."
"Look I don't got time for this. Get ready for your ballet class and take this check with you" She handed me the money for the class and I nodded. I saw Darnell and his friend eying me from the couch and I quickly slammed the door. I was living in fear and my own mom can't even see it.
