The Next Morning
~Nae's POV~
It's 6 o'clock in the morning and my alarm started to go off. I silenced it and went back to sleep. Five minutes later it went off again and I finally got up.
I took a 10 minute shower, put on my makeup, did my hair, and got dressed. I had on a white Marilyn Monroe T-shirt, my dark denim jeans, and my light brown jandals.
I grabbed my backpack, got my laptop out of my parents' room, and left out of the door. I walked to the bus and got on. I walked all the way to the back and sat next to my one of my best friends, Bailey.
Bailey's a senior and I'm a junior. I've been knowing her since the first day of my freshman year.
"Hey Girl!" Bailey says.
"Wassam" I reply with the Stevie J face.
"Girl I gotta finish this homework before I fail." Bailey replies.
"I feel ya!" I say. "Girl, yesterday was sooooo much fun. Jess and I went to go smoke since we were home by ourselves and I met her friend Ace. Girl he is so fine."
"Oh that's cool, I ain't smoked in a mino, but I guess I'm more of a drinker now anyways." Bailey says.
I had a worried look on my face "Girl you betta be careful with that shit." I say.
"Yeah nigga, you too!" she retorts.
And with that, we both put in our headphones and listened to music as we drifted off to sleep.
When we got to the school, I hopped off the bus and went into the building. I found my friend Kimberly sitting at our usual morning table.
"Hey Biiiiitch!" Kimberly said, excited to see me.
"Hey Biiiitch!" I said back.
"OOOO Girl guess what?" I say with excitement.
"What, Bitch?" She asks matching my excitement.
"I smoked some good shit yesterday!"
"That's my bitch" Kim says giving me a high five.
I chuckle a little. "Girl you crazy."
She chuckles with me "So what's up with you and Haleb?"
I smile a little. "Nothing girl he texted me yesterday."
"Oo what yall talk about?" Kim asks.
"Nothing much, just about prom." I say blushing a little.
"Are yall going to prom together?" Kim asks.
"I don't know, probably not tho."
"Oh" She says sounding a little disappointed.
Haleb is a friend of mine. We used to "talk" my freshman year, but it didn't last long. We kind of keep losing touch and then texting a lot and then losing touch again. He texted me the other day, and we've been texting ever since.
"Well at least you talked to the cuter twin."
"I know right, Kaleb be looking a little grimey sometimes."
Oh yeah Haleb has a twin brother named Kaleb. They're both seniors.

7th Period
"Hey Nae, Can I talk to you?" Jake asks with a concerned seriousness on his face.
Jake is my guy bestfriend. We have been bestfriends since my freshman year and he's about to graduate this year. I'm really gonna miss him.
"Yeah, what's up?" I ask.
"What's up with you and Haleb?" He asks with a bit of an attitude.
I chuckle. "Nothing, we're just friends."
"Bullshit!"
"How?" I ask with a mugged look on my face.
"I seen yall messages when I was at his house. And you gave this nigga the Netflix and the Hulu password!"
I laugh, is he serious right now? "Ok and I give that password to any one of my friends that ask me for it." I tell him.
"Ok, but that's the first nigga you gave it to. Why, because that's the nigga you talk to." He says trynna prove a point.
"We're not even talking we're just text-" Jake cuts me off.
"Bullshit Nae! I saw the messages!" He says.
I roll my eyes out of frustration.
"Look. I just don't want you to get your feelings caught up in this nigga again. You remember what happened last time." Jake says.
"Yeah I hear you." I say.
We both walk back into theatre and talk with our classmates until the bell rang to go home.
When I got on the bus, I saved a seat for my friend Isaac. He was so fine to me. He's brown skinned, with curly hair and he's swagged up too.
He gets on the bus and sits next to me.
He hugs me. "Hey Nae, you good?" He asks concerningly.
"Yeah I'm fine, just a little in my feelings."
"Oh Ok." He says as he turns around to talk to our other friends.
The whole bus ride, I reflected on all of the guys that fucked me over. I made a list in chronological order:
· Anthony Campbell- You were my first real boyfriend, and you were nice and sweet and really cute. Until you cheated on me with my bestfriend. I never truly forgave y'all for that, but I'm getting to it.
· Connor Sampson- You were the boyfriend that I never really talked to. A school boyfriend. Yes I did go off on you one day for what I didn't know was a prank, but then you cheated on me with a fat bitch that everybody called Big Mack.
· Malcolm Stewart- I wasted 3 years of my time on you. While I was in love with you, you were in love with someone else. And I failed to realize that there was someone right there to love me. Yes we are still really good friends. I will always have love for you and support you in your dreams. You're gonna be the best football player in the NFL, or the sexiest chef alive.
· Justin Marshall- You were the first guy I really talked to in high school. We talked for 4 months and it was good. I even liked how you came over to my table and made it known that we were kinda together. But you lied to me all of the time and on Valentine's Day you brought another bitch a big ass Teddy bear and you didn't even tell me Happy Valentine's Day. That was the end of our relationship.
· Christian Cooper- You wasted 1.5 years trying to get with me and when you finally won me over, you left me for an ugly bitch with a car and a job. Two things that you didn't even have yourself. You told me you loved me and I took that seriously, but I guess you didn't.
I just kept listening to my music. When we got to my stop, I gave Isaac a hug, told everyone bye, and walked home passing Bailey's house and waving at her as I walked by. When I got home, I took a shower, ate, and went to sleep.
