"You lyin'!"

"Maggie, I can not make this shit up." Arnell told her.

Arnell was telling Maggie about the park situation. She just couldn't seem to stay out of drama.

"So, that's why her ass ain't been in school in forever." Maggie said. "How big was her stomach?"

"Big enough for me to notice." Arnell said. "She was prolly hidin' it for a minute."

"That's craaaazy." Maggie said. "And big daddy Meech came to yo rescue?"

Arnell rolled her eyes. For the past few days Maggie insisted on annoying her with questions about Damitri. His ass still had her purse and was being petty over the whole situation.

"Fuck him." She said.

"You know y'all both bein' childish, right?" Maggie told her. "You should just go over and get ya shit back."

"Whatever." Arnell responded crossing her arms.

The bell rung, which meant lunch was over. The crowd of students began pouring out of the cafeteria.

"I'm just bein' honest, don't be mad." Maggie said getting up. "You still want me to come over after school?"

Arnell nodded vigorously. "Of course."

"Aight, see you later." Maggie said while leaving.

Arnell sat at the empty table for awhile before getting up to leave herself.

After school, Arnell waited outside of Maggie's class for her to come out. When she came out, the walked to the front of the school.

"You getting a ride from Anthony?" Maggie asked as they walked out.

"Yeah."

Maggie and Arnell were laughing all the way to the parking lot but stopped when they saw Damitri and Anthony talking.

WHAT THE FUCK . Arnell thought.

Mercedes came out and waited until the boys were done talking to get in the car. Anthony jogged over to his car where Arnell and Maggie were waiting.

Damitri seen Arnell and smiled at her, before getting into his car and driving off. She rolled her eyes.

"Nell, you can sit in the front. Ima sit in the back wit Maggie." Jay said kissing Maggie on her forehead.

They left school and headed home.

"Would you stop texting and driving." Arnell told Anthony while grabbing control of the wheel.

"I know what I'm doin', Nell." He said with his eyes going back and forth between his phone and the road.

"He too busy textin' his girl." Jay joked from the back seat.

"Anthony ain't got no girl." Maggie laughed.

"You don't know what I got." Anthony shot back.
