The Skin I'm In

High hopes (24)

Winter break is over, I didn't know what to write I was too busy on "Mariah" and her situation so .. Yeah this is the first day back from break okay? Cool.

Omniscient

Sitting impatiently Mariah waited for Travis to show up at school.

Moments later he showed up with his normal crew himself , Candice and legend .

Walking quickly she stopped them

" uhm h-hey legend"
He only stared at her, be didn't know what bullshit she had up her sleeve this morning but he did know that he honestly wasn't in the mood for it .

" Travis can I speak with you for a moment?"

He mugged her before putting his plats in a low pony tail

" you ain't my teacher or my family ain't shit you sayin about to be important to me ma"

" please, I- can you please ?" She begged , skeptical Travis obliged one because she begged- he loved when people begged him, and two she looked like shit- she looked herself but not herself , first day in all the years he'd known her where she came to school in sweatpants and her davis hoodie, her makeup was nowhere near what it normally be, shit it was bare so he was confused as to why he was so important to her.

Following behind her closely she pulled him into the outside deck where students were scarce " I need a favor"

" I need a fee"

" seriously trav-" he quickly turned on his heels to walk away

" okay! Jesus" stoping he turned to face her

" now what you want, you messin up my hoe rotation session"

" I need you to tell the principal when he calls you down to his office-"

" what the fuck? "

Sighing loudly " Travis listen when he calls you down there tell him that zyan raped me"

" how the- what?"

" he pulled me into the closet the camera caught it everything in the hall "

" imma say what I saw, I heard moa-"

" No ! Then it's gonna look like I wasn't raped"

" that's because you wasn't "

" if they found out I lied I lose my scholarships trav "

" ... Ok"

" Travis please!" She was now sobbing, really sobbing

" you look so dumb right now ma, you sound dumber.. Get ya shit together, you can still go to college man"

" a full ride scholar ship Travis" she re-explained hoping that he'd understand how much of a big deal this was.

" ... Bye bro" Travis spoke as the bell rung notifying first period was about to start.

The day continued as normal , although many people picked on legend and candice, they just ignored it- well atleast Candice did while legend almost got into a fight 4 times-getting his short temper from his father and slick commentary skills from his mother he was no bitch when it came to " roasting"

Yes, it was some positivity about the music video he dropped, even Mr.Cokain approved it, but he really didn't like when people talked negative about him, hell who did? But it was just something in him that went off- like a fuse or a bomb waiting to explode and that's exactly what he was, waiting to explode, he couldn't wait to go home.
