No Snitching

A Few Introductions

Strawberry

I walked into class and all eyes were on me. Ha I feel like Tupac. I looked around my home room class and shivered. I know everyone in this classroom. Two of them I live with. Five I'm friends with. And the rest hate me.

"Would you like to have a seat miss?", the teacher asked.

Not really.

I sat down anyways in the awkward silence next to my sister Kay. We exchanged weird looks then looked back at the teacher.

"Okay everyone. My name is Mrs. Raisin and we are going to get to know each other today since today is the first day of school. Now each of you are going to stand up tell us your name and age and something about you. Let's start with you since you decided to come to class late," she pointed at me.

This is exactly what I feared. I slowly stood up and gave the teacher the death glare on my way up. She just giggled in return. Then I turned to everyone else and made eye contact with my ex....who hates me. He rolled his eyes and looked away.

"M-my name is Tana Smith and I am 17 years old. I like to draw," I mumbled forcing myself to sit back down.

Tana why are you so goofy?

"Tana is there a nickname you'd like to be called?," the teacher asked.
"Strawberry ," someone chanted from the back.

I hope she didn't hear that.

"No ma'am," I answered.
"Strawberry," I heard someone else chant.
"Strawberry," kids started chanting.
"Strawberry?," the teacher asked.
"Her nickname is Strawberry," Kay answered standing up to introduce herself.
"I will call you Strawberry then," Mrs. Raisin nodded.

No! Thanks a lot Kay.

"My name is Erica Williams. I'm also 17 and you can call me Kay. Also I want to be a model," Kay announced.

"James Smith. I'm 18. I want to be a billionaire and I love boxing ," said James.

James is my older brother if you haven't guessed it already by the last name.

"I'm Nikke Winston. 18 and I like to sing," said Nikke.

Me and Nikke are rivals. My ex is her cousin and ever since I did what I did to him she's been trying to make my life a living hell.

"I'm Kenn Love. I'm uhh 18 and I like basketball. Oh and the ladies call me Luhv," Kenn smiled at the class.

Kenn is my ex. You'll know why he hates me later on in the story.

"Um I'm August Miller. Also known as Auggy. And I like to party," said Auggy.

Auggy is Kays boyfriend he's also Kenns bestfriend.

"MY NAME IS LAYA DAWSON.  IM 19. I LOVE SPORTS," a girl yelled at the class.

I've known Laya since 7th grade now we're in senior year and she's still annoying. Sadly she lives in the neighborhood so I have to deal with it.

"The name is Kaelyn Harrison. I'm 17 yea I'm a youngin' and I also want to be a singer," said Kaelyn.

I love Kaelyn. She just hypes me up every time I see her.

"Yhup my name is Omar Jefferson. I'm 19. I like playing 2k," said Omar.
That's my bestfriend.

"Oh yeah my name is Marc Mola. I'm 18 and something about me is I like to be called Mulah," said Marc.

Marc is a good friend of mine and he always makes my day.

"Rory Parker. 18. I'm a chill person," Rory simplified things.
Rory is my boyfriend. He's in the dog house right now tho.

"Ok so my name Johnny Jackson. Also called JJ and I like it when I talk the girls and they don't have attitudes," JJ almost blurted out over Rory then dapped Kenn.

Some other kid stood up to introduce himself but I zoned out. I locked eyes with Kenn and fell deep into thought. He looked at me like "why are you looking at me?". I just can't help it. I examined his features then looked at his surroundings to see if I should approach him. I looked behind him and saw Rory- time to turn back around.

"Were you staring at him again?", Kay whispered.

I nodded which got a snicker and head shake from her.

"Okay class I didn't realize we'd have so much time left over so I'm going to give you these blank sheets of paper you may draw on it, write on it, etc. Just don't try to light it on fire," Mrs. Raisin passed out papers.

I took the sheet of paper and began to scribble on it. Before I knew it I was drawing cartoon character versions of me and Kenn holding hands. If anybody saw this-!

"What's this?", Nikke snatched from underneath me.
"Nothing," Kay snatched it back.
"Was I asking you?", Nikke asked trying to take it back but I pushed her back.
"Walk away Nikke," Kay warned her.

We watched her walk away then sat back down.

"What if she would've saw this?", Kay smacked my arm examining the picture.
"Well she didn't," I rolled my eyes.
"Mhm," she took the paper and threw it away.

I put my head on the desk deciding to rest until the bell rang when I heard shuffling in the trashcan. Snatching my head up I looked up and seen Nikke taking my drawing out the trashcan and putting it in front of Kenn. Embarrassment flushed my faced as he looked me in the eye and passed it back to Rory. Soon embarrassment turned into fear. Rory took the paper, destroyed it, and picked up the remains. By this time all eyes were now on him because he was kicking over chairs as he made his way to me. I stood up indecisive.

Should I run or explain myself?

Before I could do anything he grabbed my arm and slung me to the ground. From then on every thing went in slow motion. Everyone stood up. The teacher was yelling. Kay was trying to calm James then next thing I know paper- my ripped up drawing was being thrown on my head. James jumped over the desk and threw Rory to the ground punching him repeatedly. Police officers were called in to break up the fight and Rory and my brother was escorted out. Then the Principal came into the classroom. Not because of the fight or Rory assaulting me. It was because weed was found in the classroom! Talk about your first day of school.
