-Khayla POV-

*Monday Morning* 

I pulled up to the front of the school with Ericka sitting in the passenger seat. "Ready for another day of school" I asked Ericka. "Nope, I wanna go back home" she said throwing her head back. "Too late now get out my car" I said in a joking voice but I was serious. "Damn, no need to be rude" she said grabbing her stuff. I followed behind Ericka and got out of my car. She has already disappeared into the crowd outside to mingle with her friends. i made my way up the hill and up the steps inside the school building.

The hallways are crowded like usual as I make my way to my locker. I spot some of my friends leaned up against my locker. I see Jacob and Jasmine cuffed up with no care in the world - against my damn locker! I rolled my eyes and rolled up on everyone "Wassup" I said announcing myself. Everyone looked startled and Jacob tried pushing Jasmine off of him. 

"No need to do that, I already seen y'all" I told him throwing my arms up. I gave everyone a hug and moved them out of my way to get my books. "So now that you know, how do you feel about it" Jasmine asked. I laughed bitterly and looked at her "Child, I been knew" I said slamming my locker shut. "So if you knew why you ain't say nothing" Chresanto asked. "Some things you just keep to yourself" I said while look at Jacob. "So you don't care that they're in a relationship" Craig asked. Yeah I care but what can I do I thought. 

"Nope" I lied popping the 'P' and Jasmine jaw nearly fell to the floor. "Is something wrong" Rayan asked Jasmine while closing her mouth. "Nah I'm straight" she lied pressing against Jacob against. "So how long did you know" Jacob P asked. "Me and other people knew for a while" I said not putting attention on Rayan. "So you weren't gonna say anything" Jacob asked. "You know what Jacob that is a great question" I told him sarcastically. "I mean we were gonna tell you eventually" he said. Sure you were I thought rolling my eyes. 

"That's not what you were saying when you kissed me the other day" I said. Everybody ooh'd and Jasmine nearly had a heart attacked. "JACOB YOU FUCKING DID WHAT" Jasmine screamed in his face. "Khayla you know damn well I ain't kiss you" he said trying to defend himself. "Bruh, you ain't got to lie! I would want to kiss her fine ass too" Omari said popping up out of no where. Jacob shook Omari's arm off of his shoulder. "Jasmine, baby, believe me when I say I didn't kiss her" Jacob said hopelessly.

I started laughing so hard it felt like my rib cage damn near broke. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy or something. "Jasmine calm the fuck down girl! He's telling the truth we didn't kiss. I just wanted to see everyone's reaction. Next time don't try to keep something a secret because I WILL find out" I said seriously. Rayan high-fived me and Omari handed me a flyer. It reads: TALENT WANTED. "What is this for" I asked him. "That was the best damn acting I've seen so far. You should think about joining the talent show" he said. I shrugged and placed the flyer inside one of my books. "I just might" I said.

"No, you really should! I dead believed that shit too" Jacob P said. I laughed a little looking at Jacob and Jasmine faces. "You two should really see y'all faces" Chresanto said. "Good one Thomas" Jasmine said. "We got beef Khayla" Jacob said. "Yeah okay" I said taking what he said as a joke. The bell finally rang and people started heading towards their classes. "Well I'll y'all when y'all decide to make it to class" I told everyone. Omari and I left everyone and made it to first period on time and took our seats. 

"So why did you lie like that" Omari asked. "Like I said I wanted to see their reactions" I whispered back. "Well she surely believed it" he said sitting back in his seat behind me. "Yeah I know" I said. This is only the first thing; I have plenty of shit up my sleeves. No more playing nice to people and no more trying to protect people's feelings! I'm done with people and their bullshit! Trust me two can play this game I thought. I took the flyer out of my book and looked at it. "The talent show doesn't seem so bad after all" I mumbled and smiled devilishly. 

A/N: OOOO! What does Khayla have up her sleeves? I smell D R A M A !!
