Teach Me To Love Again

3

I dropped Camila's food off to her and she started asking questions about king, I told her that I'll tell her later. I made it to Normani's classroom and she was teaching her 7th period class so I decided to give King a tour of the high school until 8th period comes.

"Do you wanna go to the gym and play basketball buddy?" I asked and the mixed boy nodded his head. We walked into the gym and saw that it was empty, "we're gonna play until the bell rings ok?" he replied with an ok and I gave him the ball.

He started bouncing it and I smiled then took it away from him which made him gasp, "hey just because you're a little cutie doesn't mean I'll go easy on you"

"I'm thwee!!" he screamed and that made me laugh, "at your age I already knew how to dunk" I lied. He folded his arms "do it" I heard his small voice challenge me, "uh.. You see I haven't stretched yet and-" he must've known I was lying because he blew a raspberry at me while giving a thumbs down.

I'm not about to let this baby punk me out, ain't no harm in trying right? ...wrong I got fucked up badly.

I ran towards the hoop and jumped but instead of dunking I threw the ball in the air, and as I came down instead of the sole of my Jordans touching the court my ankle did.

I was on the ground rubbing my ankle and hissed at such painful contact "ahh fuck" king ran over to my side, "wauren you knew better" this fucking kid is a trip.

I chuckled and asked if he was gonna help me up, he giggled and took my hand "pulling me up" I limped to the bleachers and patted the seat next to me for him to sit, "tell me about yourself king" I said trying to pass time.

"Do you know your full name?" I asked, "King Zachawy Bieber" he smiled proudly. "King Zachary? That's one of the awesomeness names I've ever heard" I said with excitement, I love how it makes it seem like he's an actual king.

The bell rung and it made King Zachary cover his ears, and scream. Holding back my laughter I grabbed his hand and limped all the way to Normani's classroom.

I walked into the open door, "um.. Delivery for Normani Kordei" she looked up from reading her book and her eyes widened with worry. She ran to her son before she gave the mixed child a hug she glared at me, the fuck did I do? "why aren't you at daycare and why are you with Lauren?" the mom asked.

I tried to inform her of the situation but she kept cutting me off, "Lauren.. Although I don't appreciate the fact that you're trying to use my son to get me to date you or whatever the.. please excuse my french.. fuck you're trying to do, you're just crossing boundaries don't come near my son ever again especially when he's at daycare!" she said pissed off. Is she serious right now?!

I felt myself getting angrier and angrier as she rambled on, she doesn't even know the story and she's already accusing me. I lowly chuckled not believing she was saying such nonsense, "look.. I respect the fact that your son is inside the room with us way too much to argue about such bullshit" I whispered so only she could hear. We were having a stare down and although hers was intimidating it didn't scare me one bit since mine was just as intimidating,

"You're so quick to blame me, but you failed to wonder why your 3 YEAR OLD SON was at the mall.. Alone.. instead you want to act all B.I.T.C.H.Y towards the one person who made sure your son was safe!" I yelled spelling out the word because king was still listening to us. I didn't want to be around her anymore, so I left after I said goodbye to King.

When she comes to her senses and understand that I'm not using her son to get to her or whatever she's implying then I'll talk to her but until then fuck her, and fuck her class.

It was around 9pm and I had Stella over to talk, I was already in a bad mood so if she says something that'll piss me off I'm throwing her ass out simple as that. I was laying on my bed watching a rerun of Boy Meets World when Stella came in with an ice pack in her hand, "I think you need to go to the hospital that's a nasty bruise" she said putting the frozen pack on my ankle.

I winced and adjusted myself on my queen sized bed, "to hell I do.. it'll heal" I hate hospitals and I haven't been to one in 5 years so why start now? The barbie look alike put her hands up in defense, sitting down on my bean bag chair "I'm just trying to help"

I rolled my green eyes irritatedly and glanced at her before asking, "why are you here again?" my ex girlfriend looked at me with.. Remorse? "I just missed you that's all" that made me laugh like a mad man and she chuckled awkwardly, "do I look dumb as fuck to you?" I asked still watching the tv show.

The blonde haired girl shook her head no, "I'm not about to be your fucking rebound girl if that's what you were thinking?" I said pulling out a lighter that was in my pocket. I lit the blunt that I saved on my night stand for an aggravating day. The older girl scoffed, "you know I would never do that" I shrugged my shoulders before blowing out smoke I just want this day to end already.

Stella got up from where she was sitting to lay down next to me on my bed, "come on lo, don't act like you didn't miss me too" she said while playing with my fingers. I took another hit before replying "unfortunately, I did miss your annoying ass but not so much to get back with you"

She took the blunt out of my hand and put it up to her lips, "aww my ass can't be the only thing you missed about me" the blue eyed girl giggled and it caused me to laugh "what ass? Trust me Stella I've seen better" and I instantly thought of a certain dark skinned teacher. I looked at Stella's side profile and she was beautiful but she couldn't compare to Normani.

Normani made Stella look like a mediocre model or a barbie reject, I shook the images of my teacher out of my mind. I suddenly felt a pair of lips on my mouth, I was shocked but then again I should've known things would end this way.

I pushed Stella off of me, "did you not hear me Stella?! I won't be your fucking rebound girl!" she looked down and got up from my bed

"I- I'm sorry" she apologized, I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed "maybe you should leave" Stella's ocean blue eyes were pleading for me to change my mind, not wanting to cave in I turned away to look at the new Boy Meets World episode that was on. After she left I decided to take a late night drive to Krogers because I have a serious case of the munchies.

~~

"TAKIS!!" I limped over to the spicy chips and put maybe 5 bags in the cart full of snacks. I love, love, LOVE takis especially when I'm high they taste like heaven. I exited the aisle when I saw something I wish I hadn't.. 2 police officers, a man and a woman were playing around in the store but stopped once they realized that they were actually being unprofessional.

Shit! they're gonna know I'm high as fuck, I tried to act cool and control my munchies and continue to be unnoticed so I backed up in the same aisle. "Excuse me ma'am" fuck, I blinked my eyes a few times hoping they weren't bloodshot. I turned around and was met with a badge in my face that read "L. Payne" I looked up at the tall man and he smiled at me, "you dropped a takis bag on the ground" he said picking it up for me.

I kept my head down, "thank you sir" I grabbed the bag and put it in the cart I was about to walk away before I heard the lady police officer say, "oii Liam hurry your ass up I need to go home!" wait a minute.. Oii? I've heard that before, "Monica?"

The policewoman was a deer in headlights she was frozen, she didn't know what to do she just stared at me. There's only one thing that came to my mind, is this woman Monica or Normani's friend Dinah?
