C 18: Book 1

Noticed 😕

Lucas POV

      There was a soft knock on my door and I squinted as Cynthia slid in the door. She came over to the bed turning on the lamp. I looked at my phone and it was 6:30 in the morning.

Me: shawty, it's 6:30?" I groaned.

Cynthia: we have class today, gotta get your schedule and everything." she said softly.

   I rubbed my hands down my face and sighed. I totally forgot that I still had to go to school.

Me: Fuck..aight ma, imma get ready." I said sitting up.

She nodded and ran back to her room, closing the door. I groaned and got out of bed and grabbed my stuff for the bathroom.

Entering the bathroom, I turned on the sink water and brushed my teeth. Washing my face, I dried myself off and turned the sink water off.

Cynthia: it wasn't a big deal Craig!" she said a little loud.

Craig: you got up and went to another niggas room, dressed like that? Tell me how that's not a big deal." he snapped back.

Cynthia: I was trying to let him know we have school."

Craig: that's a grown ass nigga, you not his fucking mother!" he yelled at her this time.

Cynthia: whatever Craig." she sassed.

I peeked through the crack just in time to see him snatch her up. She whimpered at how aggressive he was, holding her neck tightly against his body.

Craig: watch yo self." he snarled.

   He pushed her back and she stumbled on the ground. I gritted my jaw in a rage as he walked away. She got up and wiped her face before storming in the bathroom.

I tried to act like I wasn't watching but she glared at me because she knew I was. I turned on my heel and headed to my room.

    The bathroom door locked and I sighed and got dressed for school. I slipped on my black hoodie with my black jeans and white forces. I fluffed my hair and slipped my hood on my hoodie over my head a little.

Grabbing my phone, keys and my bookbag I slung my bookbag over my shoulder and headed for my door. I closed the door behind me at the same time as Cynthia.

   She had her hair in a messy bun with leggings and a Tshirt on. She had on slides, and you could tell she had on fake lashes. But other than that she looked natural, it was attractive as hell.

Me: you look nice." I said. She smiled but didn't really look at me.

Cynthia: so we should head to school now, I gotta show you how to get your schedule." she said.

   I smiled and let her lead the way. Craig was the bottom of the steps with Chresanto as they laughed and played around.

    I truly believed that Chres didn't know how Craig was treating his sister. He wouldn't stand for it, not the Chres I knew.

From what I remember he didn't play about his little sister, just like me. I didn't play about Loren and if I found out a nigga was beating on her, he'd be dead.

As we reached the bottom of the steps Craig forced a kiss on Cynthia's lips, and Chres kissed her forehead. I dapped up Chres and ignored Craig as he held his out before following Cynthia out the front door.

Me: you drive?" I said sparking a convo.

Cynthia: nah, schools a block from the house, we walk my brother drives though if you wanna wait." she offered.
