Get it Together

Passion
Chicago, IL, 2016

It was Monday, and between social media and the party, I was honestly wore out. The fight was all over Facebook, Instagram, and people kept reposting it on Snapchat. I refreshed my timeline, seeing the video once again.

exclusivekaylaaa: Brooke got her ass beat😂.

    theylovebren: pulled out her hair and all 💀...ain't no way.

onlyoneniya: @exclusivekaylaa true; but passion was wrong for doin that knowing that wasn't her nigga. smh.

I pressed the home button, deleting the app. I'm sick and tired of people putting in two cents when I didn't need it in the first place. Honestly the whole situation was embarrassing. Yeah I won, but people had different opinions on it. I had too much on my plate, and this was the last type of attention I needed.

I walked through the hallways, and people kept staring and looking at me sideways. I rolled my eyes. Just as I was walking to second period, someone snatched my arm, pulling me under the staircase.

"We need ta' talk."

"There's nothing to talk about.", I stated, prepared to walk away, but he pulled me back by my arm again.

"I wasn't askin'.", he stood his ground. I folded my arms against my chest, about to listen to all his bullshit.

"Why you mad at me?"

"Why do you think?" Was this nigga dumb or retarded?

"I don't know. If anybody need ta' be mad it's Brooke."

"Tuh.", the nerve of this nigga.

"She shouldn't have came at me. We was just havin' fun, it wasn't that serious Savon and you know it."

"But that's my girl at the end of the day."

"Wow. Now she's your girl, just the other day she was a piece of pussy. Make up your mind Junior.", I paused, "I'm sick of doing this with you Savon. You treat me like I'm your girl yet you don't wanna claim me. What the fuck is holding you back besides Brooke?", I asked getting in his face.

"It's more complicated than you think P-"

"It's not fucking complicated at all! What? Am I not good enough for you? Is it because I'm not as pretty as Brooke?"

"Pash, don't ever let me here that come out yo' mouth again.", he held my face. "It's me. I'm not good enough for you P. Just let me get my shit together. Because at the end of the day, you my number one. Not Brooke, not none of these other hoes, none of 'em. It's you baby girl."

"You need to get it together, because I'm through waiting for you Savon. I've waited long enough."

"What you talkin' about?"

"Exactly what I just said. I'm through waiting for you."

"Fuck you Passion."

"Fuck you too and fuck Brooke.", I shot back.

"I do, every night.", I pushed him, walking away. Fuck Savon.

"Yes Kae, I'm so over this nigga. He ain't got shit else to say to me.", I ate my ice cream as I spoke to Kaelani over the phone.

"Ugh, fuck him. Guess what?"

"What?", I said eager to know.

"Trell asked me out on a date!"

"Noo, Oh my gosh Lani that's so good! Bout damn time."

"I know right! I want you to come with me."

"Hell no, I am not third wheeling."

"Of course not, I got you a date."

"I don't know if I'm ready yet.", I said shoving the spoon in my Chocolate Raspberry Truffle ice cream Savon bought for me.

"You said it yourself Pashy, you need to move on. This is the perfect time." As much as I hated to admit it, she was right.

"Okay, Text me the details."

I feel like this was about to be messy, but I guess you have to take chances. I needed to test the waters. Fuck Savon.
