DEMETRIA
So far since my last meltdown a month ago, I've been normal, I've been back & school & doing well.
Again the boy who sat next to me walked in late & gave our teacher a pass & sat down.
" Wassup " he says as he take a seat.
I remain quiet & continue to listen to the teacher.
" Mean ass " he says to himself but I heard.
" Excuse me ?" I say to him trying not to disturb the teacher.
" I said wassup, you don't speak ?" He says looking at me crosseyed.
" Since when do we speak ? ain't shit changed nigga ." I say turning back to my work.
" Whatever which yo lil fine ass" he says reaching over for his bag.
I feel my face getting hot & a smile slowly forms.
" Oh, she smiles ? Thought I'll never see it." He says sarcastically.
" Whatever " I say back with a straight face.
" Okay, here are your progress reports" the teacher says passing me & the guy next to me ours.
I take a look over mines & see its a 83%. I take a quick glance at his & notice it's a 65%.
" Damn, I hate this fucking class" he says talking to him self.
" What you got ?" He ask.
I hand him my paper & reach over & grab his. I realized since the first day of school I've never known this guy's name. It was Kyson.
" Think you can help me out ?" He says.
I look at him like he a plum fool.
" since when do we help each other ? Ain't shit changed nigga" I say snatching my paper back
" Come on help a nigga out" he cooes.
" Could've helped me out that day she took my phone, should get to class on time & study, maybe you'll pass next semester" I say right before the bell rings. I grab my stuff & exit for the door.
As I was making my way to lunch, I was stopped my Kyson again.
" I'll pay you" he says, finally catching my attention.
" Money talks , what's your number?" He ask chuckling making me laugh.
I give him my number & we exchange a few words before Kain walks up.
" Who this ?" He says putting his arm around me.
" Oh this you ? & I'm Kyson" he says extending a hand, which Kain declines.
" Nah fam, this my Twin sister, Metri how you know him ?" He ask me.
" Anatomy" I say dryly rolling my eyes.
" Stop with the attitude let's go" he says pulling me away.
We make it to our table & I stop him before we go to the lunch line, which we always did together.
" What the hell was that ?" I ask him.
" What ?" He ask.
" I'm saying I can't talk to boys now with out 100 & 1 questions ?" I respond.
" Look I'm trying too keep you safe, I been at this school 4 years, these niggas ain't shit & this his first year & I don't know him you won't know him" he says.
