My Boo (Urban Love Story)

Chapter 17

Chanel's POV:

Since Shanti has made me feel comfortable to be here things haven't been too bad.

I'm getting credits for school, taking wood shop classes and trying to learn Spanish.

It's been hot as hell here, and coming from ice cold nights that's a huge suprise. June came out of no where and pretty soon I'll be home!!!

"Shanti, you trynna come on a walk with me? I know it's hot but I need some sun and air before I go crazy" I asked her.

She looked down from the top bunk tucking her girls' magazine under her cot.

"Man you trynna have me out there melting. You better be glad you cute, you wouldn't have been able to get me any where if you wasnt. Come on before I change my mind" she came down and nudged me.

On our way out a couple girls were sitting on the quad tables and whispering to Eachother; giggling even. I automatically knew they were talkin shit. I just didn't want to be the first one to say something. I'll be out in a couple months and I don't want to chance anything!

"What the fuck these lil bitches lookin at" Shanti bold ass said, loud enough for them to hear of course.

Only one of them stood up, I guess she had to be the hardest one trynna stand up to Shanti.

"You, and your gay ass girlfriend. Y'all been fuckin around? It look like y'all real close if you ask me". This bitch start laughing.

Shanti walked over to her and got in her face. Ugh why the hell did she have to be so ballsy.

"Haha, hahaha. That's what it look like if I ask you? Now if I asked you if you wanted yo face painted with concrete what would that look like? Or better yet how about if one of yo girls wonna come fuck wit me? I'll even turn you out ugly bitch" Shanti was on fire. I wanted to bust up laughing right there but didn't because I knew the mood wasn't even light enough to do so.

"Hey I don't want no problems I was just playin I just wanted to know if y'all was down that's all. I'm sorry" She begged shaking like a pitbull.

I couldn't believe she checked her like that! The respect she got in here is crazy I'm glad I'm on the right side.

"Come on young butt, we got shit to talk about right?" I nodded and followed Shanti to walk around the track and field.

We got furthest out , to where I don't think anyone saw us and she stopped me to pull something out her sock. When she got back up I seen it was a little necklace made out of twine with a little wooden cross hanging from it. I know it took some time from all the designs in it.

Although it was so simple, and would probably be nothing to someone else it meant something to me. Shanti was always putting me up on game and looking out for me. I know she cares about me.

"Aww!! Are you serious , it's hella cute!! Thanks Shanti!" I didn't even prepare myself for what was about to happen.

I went in to hug Shanti and got caught in her big brown eyes.

I thought to myself,  "Oh hell no I know I'm not gay. Come on God I'm not gay am I!?"

She leaned in to kiss me and I kissed her back. I knew it was wrong but it felt so good. She's the first person to have shown me love on who knows how long. She made me feel special and she made sure I was always straight.
