11. Friends

I walked into school and took my place between Jordan and Elijah as usual.

"I don't even wanna be here." Jordan mumbled, putting his head down.

"I'm ready for them to hand me my damn diploma." I added. Elijah agreed.

"I'm tired of lame ass classes. I should have signed up for more P.E." Elijah said.

"Nigga you just about failed all the ones you did take." I said. Jordan laughed, and Elijah sucked his teeth.

"Well I could have signed up for sex ed." He said.

"Would've probably failed that." Jordan said.

"Nah. I know my way around the bed. Ask yo friend right here." Elijah said. I heard a gasp from behind me. I turned around to see Paige looking at her phone pretending that she wasn't ease dropping. I just shrugged.

"Playa playa your phone gone be lighting up any minute now." I patted Elijah on the shoulder. He glared at me.

"Stop calling me playa. I never played anybody." He told me.

"Except my dumb ass." I shrugged.

"Man-" his phone lit up with a message from Taryn. He took the phone off of the desk before I could read.

"Don't lie to homegirl. Tell her everything you told me. Tell her everything we did." I said over his shoulder. He moved the phone so I wouldn't see what he was saying. I shook my head.

"I thought I knew you. Never took you for the fuckboy type bestfriend." I shook my head.

"What is your problem?" He asked me.

"You! You're my problem." I said.

"Why? You don't fucking want me. Why can't I be happy with someone else?" He asked.

"I never said I didn't want you."

"You have on several occasions." Jordan interjected.

"Whatever. Fuck it." I turned back to my work. Stressing over a nigga is not something I do.

I did my work and kicked shit with myself till it was time for me to leave school. I went straight to Steak' N Shake and texted Daniel to meet me there. He was there when I got there. We ordered our food and sat down.

"You got a problem?" He asked.

"Slick." I nodded.

"Do I need to handle it?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Nah. I'll be alright. I just needed to talk to you." I told him. He smirked.

"You need big daddy d to hold you?" He asked. I laughed.

"No. I need Danny if that's cool with you." He glared at me.

"Imma let you call me that, but if Keshion start with that shit it's over." He said.

"Where is Keshion?" I asked.

"Somewhere making moves, probably looking for my ass. He'll be alright." Daniel shrugged.

"Don't tell him about Elijah." I said.

"Don't tell him what about Elijah though?" He asked. I sighed and took a sip from my milkshake before looking up at him.

"I let him go down on me not knowing he has a full girlfriend." I said really fast. Daniel rose his eyebrows. He just stared at me for a second.
