The Come Up

Miles Pov

It's lunch time. I'm walking into the cafeteria, into the lunch line, not making eye contact with anybody. I'm really not in the mood for anybody's bullshit today. I haven't talked to Perry since that incident the other day, but what good is he anyway. I don't have the energy for fake friends. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

"Miles...Miles!" Perry called getting a spot next to me in the lunch line.

I rolled my eyes and continued to ignore him.

"C'mon Miles, why are you acting like a little bitch?"

Oh no he didn't.

My eyes sprung open as I said "I'm acting like a bitch??" with the most surprised tone in my voice. "You need to look in the fucking mirror."

Perry was shocked, he asked "Where is all this coming from?"

"Don't play dumb Perry, you're not as real as I thought you were. Your true colors really came out." Moving up in the line.

"Can you  at least tell me what I did?"

I shook my head. "Replay yesterday morning over in your head. Before 1st period."

Perry looked at the ceiling thinking, trying to remember.

I shook my head in disappointment as i moved up in the line.

"I asked you for the math homework....then dex came.... I don't remember anything after that bro."

I was starting to grow angry. "Because you ran off you stupid bastard! You left me in the dry. You left me to get jumped by 3 niggas. Took my money and all."

Perry was taken back by the  choice of words Miles was using, but he could understand where he was coming from and began to feel guilty.
"Bro my bad. you're right it was weak of me to run off like that. A complete bitch move. But you know I can't fight."

"So what? You still could've done something. If you were a real friend you would have." while grabbing a bag of apples.

"I am a real friend! I just didn't know what to do."

I continued to pick my lunch then walked out of the kitchen, ignoring him.

"So that's it? We're just gonna let go of our friendship after all we've been through? I thought we was brothers Miles."

I put some ketchup and ranch dressing on my tray.

"You know what fuck it. I'm not gonna sit here and beg to stay in your life, the fuck do I look like?"With that he stormed out the cafeteria.

I sat down at an empty table and ate my lunch while watching Prison Break on my phone.

Aaliyah POV

I was sitting in class finishing my essay when I heard two girls behind me talking about the party.

"It's supposed to be the biggest party of the year, it might even end up being a trending topic on twitter."one of the girls stated.

"I heard he might even have Chris Brown show up." the other girl added.

Now that was just ridiculous. There was no way Dexter could afford CHRIS BROWN to perform at some house party. He probably wouldn't even take the offer, I mean cmon now this is a real celebrity we're talking about. Even though Dex and Dimitri come to school in the flashiest of jewelry, the latest Jordan's and designer clothing all the time, it was hard to believe that they could afford Chris Brown.
