orphan in the hood

Ayva P.O.V


I had let the whole Jayden thing get off my mind and reminded myself of Tory's warning. 'They will drop a girl when they get some' well it was something along those lines.


It was recess, break time, whatever you wanna call it. We decided to go to Starbucks. I got a mocha cookie crumble venti and Tory got a triple caramel in venti too.


We walked back to the school.


"Do you like Jayden?" Tory asked.


"I don't even know him. I think he's handsome, but that's it" I answered truthfully.


"Do you like Joseph?" I returned the do-you-like-him question.


"I'm not sure, to be honest" I chuckled lightly.


The bell rang.


"Time for double science EP" I said.


"YESS finally a lesson where I'm with you and EP" she said joyfully.


We walked to science and the teacher didn't give a damn, so we decided to ditch that lesson and next period.


As we walked though the narrow corridor I felt someone slap my butt through my cardigan. I turned around frowning. I saw Jayden and his little clique.


"Who did that?"


"Me" Jayden smirked.


I went over and slapped him on his cheek. "Don't do that. We are not a couple!" I hissed.


With that me and Tory stormed off to TacoBell since it was the closest. We sat down as started eating. It was good. I love taco's.


Our table was at the front near the door. Me and Tory sat opposite each other, and she could see the door, but my back was too it.


I slurped my coke, when Tory announced "They're here" my head shot around and the 5 of them stood there. Jayden, Zion and Andre went to order food.


"Hey Ayva my bestie" Alvaro came up to me and I couldn't help but smile. He sat next to me and started eating out our chips.


Joseph came along too and sat next to Tory. Before you knew it the 3 musketeers came back with their food.


"Come sit on a big table with us" Alvaro suggested.


"Na we good" I reassured. But then Tory had to open her big mouth.


"Okay" she spoke.


So we followed them to a big table of 8. I sat down and crossed my arms.


"Why you pouting?" Alvaro asked.


"I'm not" I disagreed.


"Whatever"


"A little birdie told me Ayva is angry" Zion said. I was not amused.


"Go away" I said rolling my eyes, but they just laughed like it was a joke.


"So Ayva why-"


"- don't talk to me" I said, before scooping up Tory and leaving, just like that.


"Stop being a cranky. Damn PMS"


I did not just hear that.
Never tell a girl shes PMSing. Never. I froze then turned around.


"Really? Cranky, PMS?" I laughed "How big of you. You think because I listed a couple things it makes you superior? Na. Not everything I listed is to you. I know for a fact you will hit a girl and leave" I made sure my little speech had venom.


"It's just a joke ma" he said, but I knew what I said had hurt him, at least a tiny bit, and for some reason I didn't really care.


"That's not my name. It's Ayva" We all laughed together.


I sat back down next to Varo. He was eating like he had never ate before.


When we were all done we headed out back to school.


-10 minutes later-


We got back to school.


The next lesson was gym. I couldn't wait. I do track and I couldn't wait to see if I could beat these girls.


The bell rang and I headed to the changing room with Tory.


I got into my nike grey sports bra and tight running shorts which both are lined with pink. I put my pink basketball jersey on top. I was number 6, Ribeiro, my surname on my back.


I took of my timberlands and put on my nike grey and pink free runs, the main colour being grey. I put my hair in a high ponytail and then filled my water bottle at the fountain.


I peered at Tory. She had on the same underneath clothing as me but reversed so it was pink lined in grey, but the same jersey. You know, we go shopping together.


I placed my duffel bag on my shoulder and headed out to the field. I peered at some of the girls. They had the opposite of gym clothes on. They wore tank tops and shorts. Or sports bras and shorts, but not for running, just for the sake of it. A couple had some really cute outfits going on though.


"Where did you get your outfit?" I asked a blonde, pretty girl.


"JD it's new. It's pretty cheap too, you should hurry though they are selling out fast" she smiled.


"Thanks" I returned. Hmm I might use my workers discount on it.


Anyway we headed out to the track and there was our coach and the boys.


"Hey. So today we are doing relay. So we will have a team of 2 girls and 2 boys. You can choose the teams today, so go"


Naturally I glued too Tory, since we both know we run fast. Some girls were all over the boys.


Jayden and Zion came over to us. "Team of 4 right here" said Zion.


"Where are the others?" I asked.


"They are in the other gym group. They are doing basketball this semester" Zion answered my question.


"Alright"


We all turned our attention back to the coach. "So get your things ready."


Me and Tory took off our jerseys. I felt eyes on my back and I looked at Jayden and Zion staring at us.


"What?" I asked.


"I ain't gonna lie, I think it's a little bit too much eye candy for us" Zion said turning around.


"Ya nasty" I said doing a 'that's so raven' impersonation. We laughed and followed the coach, after we put our bags to the side and got out our water bottles.


"Just to let you know, we can't have a boy and girl racing, so have the boys at the beginning and end and girls in the middle"


"That's okay" I said to my team.


"Choose your order now"


"So I'm thinking, Jayden first and I last" Zion suggested.


"I'll go second, Tory third" I said.


"Alright. But who's faster?" Jayden asked.


"Ayva, but I'm pretty close" Tory said.


We went to our places on the track. I sipped some water and then threw my bottle on my bag.


"Good aim" my coach said. I thanked her. First impressions last, right?


I looked to my left and my right, I was racing a really dark and slightly built black girl, a hispanic cheerleader and that girl with the pretty outfit.


I bet everyone thinks I'm no competition. We'll see.


"On your marks, get set... GO"


I peered at Jayden running. My mind was racing, he was first. He was approaching and the other boys pretty close to him. I started to jog before I felt the cold metal of the baton on my palm.


I started to run, expanding my legs as far as they could go. I looked to my side, no one was near but it didn't stop me. I carried on and on until I reached Tory.


I looked behind me and they were still running. I looked at Tory who was already half way to Zion.


She finally reached Zion and he paced it to the end. We were by far the winners.


I couldn't help but jump for joy. We all did. I hugged Tory and Zion. We approached Jayden and we all had a group hug.


Sweat was glistening of our foreheads.


"Well done!" The voice of our coach. "Lets do sprint times now."


We were assigned in same sex groups of 6. It was straight 100m.


The boys were watching.


"On your marks, get set GO"


I started to run and I was behind. That got me going. I started to pace in front of them but I kept going trying to get the fastest time I could. I didn't allow myself to slow down at the end.


I was out of breath. I drunk about half of the water that was left in my water bottle and laid on the floor.


Once I got my breathing alright I checked at the time.


"13.23 seconds."


I was happy with that!
Tory was second and she got the time of 15.79 which is good, too.


I sat down and watched the boys. It was mostly in between Zion, Jayden and another tall black boy I think is called Talon or something like that. Maybe even Taylon, idk.


In the end Jayden won, Zion coming second.


A few minutes later they came up to me. Jayden sat down next to me. "Good running" I smiled to myself and then thanked him.


Zion sat down in front of us. "What was your time pretty lady?" He asked and I blushed slightly and put my head down. He lifted my chin with his finger "Don't hide your blushing. It's sexy"


He was pretty close and his minty breath sent chills down my back, but it was attractive. "13.23" I said answering his question "y'all?"


"11.11 lucky right?" Zion replied.


"10.93" Jayden said.


We got up and walked back to our bags. I hadn't noticed Tory was back there. Me and Zion slow walked while Jayden hurried.


"So, tell me about yourself"


I stared at him. I never paid much mind to Zion. He was quite attractive if not very. He was dark, but I liked that. "There's no point spoiling it right?" I chuckled.


"Females are hard" he shook his head but I laughed. "So are dicks"


I kept laughing. "Nasty ass"


I peered in front of us and I couldn't believe what I saw. Tory was wrapped in Jayden's arms. His hands were getting closer to her ass, when Zion came in.


"Move I need to get my bag"


I grabbed my stuff and left sharply. I got dressed back in my stuff and then put my hair back out and brushed it down. Tory came in. It was awkward I don't know why.


"Why you pissed?" She asked.


"I'm not" I said rather aggressively zipping up my duffel bag.


I left the changing room sharply, and bumped into a sweaty Jayden.


"Watch where your going" I said walking off.


"Ayva?!" He called out.


"What?" I said.


"What's wrong?"


"Nothing" nothing was exactly wrong it just didn't seem right. I fake smiled and headed to drama. I wasn't in the mood to act, at all.


Jayden P.O.V


I walked out of the changing room and sped of to drama with ALL my boys.


I knew well why Ayva was mad. I was purposely flirting very deep with Tory because she was doing it with Zion. But I regret it now. I got jealous. It's just after this whole sociology thing with Ayva I thought we could make a nice couple.


I got to drama and I saw Ayva sitting down in one of the chairs. She didn't even bother to look up at the door.


"Hey class. Some of you may know me and some not but I'm your new drama teacher, Miss.Wiggle."


"Can we wiggle at a party?" Some boy with dreads asked.


"Get up out my class and don't come back. Oh and detention after school. If you don't come I'm raising it to 30 mins. Bye"


Everyone started oh'ing. Well except Ayva.


I scooted closer to her, but she just scooted back. Miss Wiggle noticed this.


"Are you two playing musical chairs or what?"


"No miss" I said. She stayed quiet.


"We got a quiet one here" Ayva just glared at her, but remained silent.


"Silent but deadly" miss laughed.


"She isn't usually quiet" Alvaro said.


He got up and sat next to her and she just laughed at the sight of him.


"Weirdo" she said but leaned on his shoulder. Her mood went up a bit.


Miss rambled on about the class topic, we acted a few things out that's it.


The class ended when the bell rang. We all wanted to leave school so we rushed out the class.


Ayva P.O.V


"Bye Varo!" I said.


"Bye bestie" I gave him a quick hug.


"Bye lil miss tall" I heard in my ear. "Bye Andre"


I said bye to Joseph and Zion and then headed to my locker.


"I don't get a bye?" Jayden stood in front of me.


"I thought you left. Sorry. Bye!" I said. I gave him a hug. He smelt good. "Make sure you draw me good" he said and winked before catching up to his clique.


I shook my head, I forgot about that.


I reached my destination and opened my locker. A paper flew out.


It read:


Call me ;)
We can have a Portuguese conversation.
-Jayden


Then he left his number. So he can speak Portuguese? How interesting.


There was an arrow at the button and under it, it said 'turn around' I followed the instruction and it read


ME TOO!
-your bestie Alvaro


I laughed. He reminds me SO much of Tyler The Creator. Like his son or twin. They are equally as silly.


I put the paper in my bag, closed my locker and turned around. And saw Tory.


"You scared me!"


"Are you okay now?"


"Yeah it was stupid. I was just a bit PMSy" we laughed. I seriously had let it slide. Whatever.


We decided to walk home. When we got there I changed to my JD work uniform. I was tired from walking so I decided to ring up Jayden.


"Hey" I said into my phone.


"Hey beautiful"


"Can you pick me and take me to work I'm not bothered to walk" I asked.


"Sure, where you live?"


I told him my address and he told me that his friend used to live on our street.


"Remember number 46"


"Okay, okay bye"


He better hurry up I don't wanna be late.


There was a knock at the door. I opened it up. "Bye Tory" I shouted.


"Bye" she shouted back from her bedroom.


"You were quick" I smiled.


"I live near"


I got out and he opened the door for me, I thanked him without blushing.


He drove me to JD. "I'll pick you up just text me when"


I smiled and left.


It was 9 and I had just left my shift. I had texted Jayden to come pick me up. He drove me to a diner and I was happy. I was hungry.


A waitress came up to us. Her eyes on Jayden. I proceeded to order my food.


"Chicken breast strips with fries and baked beans. Can we have a Greek salad to share please?" I asked "oh and a coke"


"Sure, and you sir?" She asked.


"Steak and mash potato and a coke"


"It'll be ready in about 8 minutes." Then she walked to another table.


"So you speak Portuguese?" I asked him.


"Yup" he said, smiling showing off his straight pearly whites.


"Prove it"


Ei, eu sou Jayden. Você está Ayva. Estamos prestes a comer. Então eu poderia levá-lo em algum lugar para deserto


[Hey I'm Jayden. You're Ayva. We are about to eat food. Then I might take you somewhere for desert]


That was sexy.


Eu sei que sou Ayva. Seu Jayden. Nós vamos ter algum bom alimento que você está certo. E do deserto? Grande


[I know I'm Ayva. Your Jayden. We are going to have some nice food you're right. And desert? Great]


"I love it when girls speak in another language. It's sexy"


We carried on talking until our food was here. We dug straight in.


When we finished, Jayden paid and we left. We then got in his car and he took me to a crepe restaurant full of young couples. It was cute.


We both ordered chocolate chip crepes with cream, and strawberries and we had a little chocolate fountain on the side to dip the strawberries in.


When it was all gone he took me home and walked me to my door. I unlocked it but before I went in I turned around.


"Thanks" and I kissed him on the cheek.


I got inside and went and took a shower and hopped into my PJs. I watched teen mom 2 with Tory before we both made a start on our sociology projects.


"Lets finish this tomorrow"


We left them and everything else on the table and headed upstairs.


"Night T" I said and she did too. I got into my room and got in the covers. Just before I was gonna cut the lights I looked at my texts. I had two.


"Night beautiful"


"Night bestie"


I replied to both, set my phone to charge, set my alarm clock to ring earlier so I had more snooze.


I cut the lights. As soon as my head touched my pillow I let sleep takeover.

Long chappy
I wrote this on holiday on my phone and I haven't checked it so sorry for any mistakes! I'm going to try and upload a chapter a day, since I've figured how to put photos on the side and stuff.


I don't know if there's a JD in America but oh well, google them. They are a sports company.


QOTD: what would you rate this chapter out of 10?
