Chris and Kamaal

Chapter 16: Ex Factor

Chapter 16: Ex Factor

"Ohhh so this is the nigga that got you trippin over me?" Jamal says as he approaches my locker.

I roll my eyes and continue talking to Kamaal. Kamaal pays Jamal no mind at all. Eventually Jamal grabs my shoulder.

"So wassup? You block my number, you rip my note up, and now you act like I don't exist."

"Take a hint dammit!" I tell him

Kamaal steps back and prepares himself in case something pops off.

"I guess, but who is this clown? This yo body guard or somethin? He yo baby sitter or some shit?" Jamal asks in a smart ass way.

Kamaal takes a deep breath. Before I say anything, he steps in, pulls me behind him, and gets in Jamal's face.

"This clown is Chris's new dude. Now I would greatly appreciate it if u would fall da fuck back and keep yo hands to yoself before I drag yo ass up and down this hallway." Kamaal says

Jamal gets back in Kamaal's face.

"Nigga you ain't gon' do shit. I'll wear yo ass out. Jamal says

"So if you feelin froggy, jump bitch." Kamaal says

As Kamaal threatens Jamal, a crowd starts to surround the area. Hell, if somethin does pop off, I want Kamaal to whoop his ass so hopefully Jamal will leave me alone.

"Anyway Chris, so wassup with us again?" Jamal asks me as he rolls his eyes and looks over at me

"There won't be an "us" again. You fucked that up multiple times. Get t through your head.

As Kamaal and I try to walk away, Jamal grabs me and all hell breaks loose. Kamaal turns around and pushes Jamal. Lets just say that nigga flew. Jamal gets up while Myra and Trey arrive on the scene.

"DAAAMN that nigga flew!!!" Trey says

Myra and Trey start doing the Crank that Soulja Boi dance.

Jamal gets up and sneaks Kamaal on his cheek. Kamaal responds by hitting him with the fastest two punches I've ever seen in my life. Immediately they start fighting. Jamal punches Kamaal in the face, and Kamaal hits Jamal in his stomach practically knocking the wind out of him. Jamal throws a jab, but misses and Kamaal hits Jamal in the nose. I swear I heard his nose crack. Jamal falls on the ground holding his nose and screaming in pain. Myra and I hold Kamaal back while Trey is getting his life from the fight.

"Kamaal said crack!!! Kamaal said cra-crack!!! That's how he do!!!" Trey yells as he laughs.

Our school is kinda ratchet. After a fight happens, someone will end up quoting Steve Harvey's line from Johnson Family Vacation.

The principal and the school rent a cop arrive and take Kamaal and Jamal in the office. I cut class just to wait for him. After what seems like forever, Kamaal walks out of the principals office.

"So how did it go?" I ask him

"I admitted to fuckin him up and he got 5 days suspension."

"Well what did they give you?"

"I sweet talked her, and she just gave me ISS for the rest of the day. I ain't goin to that shit."

We walk out the principal's office and the lunch bell rings. Kamaal and I head for our table. Myra and Trey are already there as usual.

"It seems as though Kamaal and Jamal are the talk of the school right now." Trey says

"Cool, let them talk. He shouldn't have put his hands on my shorty." Kamaal says

"Chris that nigga touched you? Trey look in my purse and grab my pepper spray." Myra says

"He just grabbed my arm and Kamaal went ham."

"So what happened with y'all two? Why did y'all break up?" Kamaal asks

"I don't wanna talk about it. He's irrelevant and I'm with you now. That's all that should matter" I tell him

"Well you can tell me anything. I tell you everything so you should tell me."

He's right. He has been 100% honest, so I guess I should tell him.

"Well, we dated freshman and sophomore year. Things were going good until Christmas time. He stopped coming around, he stopped texting and calling, it's like he disappeared. I went over to his house to talk to him. I walk in, and head to his room."

"So what happened???"

"Chris saw that triflin-"

"Myra, chill let me tell it. Anyway, I walk in his room and see him fuckin some other nigga. I was pissed, and even more pissed when he hit me with the this isn't what it looks like line." I say

"Oh that's it? He cheated on you." Kamaal asks

"Yeah, I forgave him and took him back. We made dinner reservations on Valentine's Day. He went to the bathroom and his phone rang. I didn't trust him, so I checked the text message and it was from some girl. It said, "the dick was good last night, can't wait for you to tear this pussy up tonight."

"So what did you do?" Kamaal says

"When he came back, I held the message up to his face. I slapped him, spilled soda on his phone, and left."

"Damn, that's deep."

"It is, but Chris couldn't let him go and kept taking him back. But the final straw was when he found out Jamal got the loose pussy bitch pregnant. They broke up that summer."

"DAAAMN so he has a child?"

"Not anymore, she had a miscarriage." I tell him

"So why won't he leave you alone?"

"He just can't let go. I've moved on and got found the man of my dreams."

Kamaal smiles and kisses me, while Myra and Trey have disgusted looks on their faces.

"Well I bet he'll think twice before puttin his hands in you again." Kamaal says

"Ugh you two make me sick." Trey says as he rolls his eyes.

"Jealous Trey?" I ask him

"Not at all. I'll just make love faces with Myra."

"Boy have several seats." Myra says as she files her nails and rolls her eyes

We all laugh and Trey gives a look of shame. We all continue talking cracking jokes on each other and the bell rings signaling that lunch is over. We say goodbye to each other, and go our separate ways. What a crazy ass day today was.

*Jamal's POV*

I can't believe Chris doesn't want me anymore. I mean, I look a thousand times better than that nigga he with now. I ain't trippin anymore. Dat nigga Kamaal think he gonna get away with beatin me down, but he got his comin to him real soon. Real shit.
