Love Robbery

Dre

The next day at school. I met up with Dre and Trinity.
"I'm deadass sick and tired of third wheeling with y'all."

"Yeah whatever. You ain't looking for the 4th wheel right? So I guess you car bout to be fucked up." I put up my middle find and we laugh.

"Who told you he not looking for nobody?" Trini asks Dre. Dre points at me.

"He did."

"And you believed him. He ain't look for somebody. He already found her. He just can't have her." Trini

"Ohh." Dre says.

"Oh so what is this? Like just come for Travis day? 1st of all, I can get anyone. And seco-" Trini begins to cough. "Aye Dre, get your girlfriend."

"Oh nah. This between y'all two." Dre throws his hands up.

"But you know what's is between y'all two?" The two look at me in confusion. I quickly run and sit in between them.
"Me niggas." I say as I throw up my middle fingers. 1 finger for each person.
We bust into a fit of laughter.

Lela's Pov
Nikki and I sat in the cafeteria. Nikki talked about the new guy, Travis while I completely ignore her. I, instead, watch him with an Asain girl and another black guy. They are laughing so hard.

I soon start to feel jealous at the fact that their having a good time with Travis. Every Time he stares at me, I feel like I should say something but I don't know if I'm going to get rejected.

You know what I do know though? Those eyes look very familiar. Their beautiful yet full of pain. The bell rang and I made my way to 4th period. I also have that class with Travis. Which make me excited.

I sit in my usual seat and wait for him to come in so I can see where I've see him.
"So what do you think?" Nikki asks me.
I look at her slightly irritated.

"About what?"

"I'm going to talk to him."

"To who?" I ask in confusion. She rolls her eyes

"Travis silly." My heart drops to my stomach and I feel sad. Nikki is beautiful with a banging body and confidence. She gets all the guys she wants.

"Yeah. Go for it." I say trying to sound excited. Speak of the devil. In comes Travis. I watch him find his seat. That's when he looked at me. I looked away.

Nikki gets up and walks over to his desk. I watch the whole thing from my seat. She smiles and touches his arm. He looks down at where she's touching him. Then he looks at me again. I look away.

I look back to see he's smiling at her and she's giggling. I feel like I could cry. I watch as she stands up, whispers something in his ear and walks back over.

"I gave him my number." She says as she tries to hold back her excitement. I slightly smile trying to hold back tears

After class., the bell rag signaling everyone to go home. I watched Travis's every move. He walked out the door but before he did. He threw the paper Nikki gave him in the trash can. I smile the biggest smile.
