Maya

- Chapter VIII -

At 4:45 Isaiah leaves for class and I am alone in the dorm. I knew King would be home since he never goes out unless he needs to, and he told me that he had class at 9:00 this morning.

I get up and put my shoes on, then lock the door behind me as I leave to go to his dorm. The door is unlocked, so I open it and walk in. "King!" I say loudly, "what are you doing?".

He quickly comes to the door and takes me out into the hall. "I didn't even know this was gonna happen. Chris invited people over"he says.

"Why is there so many people?" I ask.

"I don't know, he said he was inviting a few friends to chill."

"Don't look like a few to me. And it smell musty in there." I say. "Well, I'm gonna go since you busy." I say but he insists on coming with me. We begin to walk in the direction of a park. "You know Maya Smith?"

"Yeah I know her, why?"

"Do you talk to her?" I ask.

"Once. We had a project to do together, she didn't do shit though." King says.

"I was just wondering." I say.

We circle the park for about am hour then go get pizza around 6:00. When we get back to school King remembers the party. "I hope its over" I say.

"Me too." he replies. "Well, I will see you later Quin."

"Okay. Bye." I say as he leaves the elevator to go to his room.

I make it home and see Isaiah sleeping on the couch. "Get up" I say and nudge him.

"Mmm" he moans in aggravation.

"You can't sleep out here." He looks at me and he looks like he hadn't slept for weeks. His eyes are red and half open. He begins to walk towards the bedroom, but he seemed dizzy. "What's wrong with you?" I ask and follow him.

"I'm just tired" he says. His speech Is slurred so it is difficult to understand him. "You been drinking or smoking or something?"I ask since he looks high as fuck.

"I'm just tired" he repeats and lays down in his bed. I know that he has had chronic migraines for years so I figure, that that must be the only other option.

"You got a headache?" I ask, but he ignores me and turns over. "Hello?"

"I told you already, I'm just tired" he says, but I could see he was in pain. Maybe he was high and had a migraine.

I get up and turn the light off. "I'll bring you some water." I say.

"I don't want it" he says. "Just stay in the room. Please."

I sigh out loud. "You got some shit on your mind?" I ask and lay in my bed.

"I just want company, that's all."
