Sayra .

"And if you try to leave you're getting written up!" Mrs . Trent slammed the door shut to the white room. There, I was met with August , Josiah , Christopher , Sochitta , Cali and Jessie . We had gotten into a big brawl in the art room , knocking down the paints and everything .

"See what you fucking start?" Cali snapped , referring to Jessie . I mean , this is her fault , fucking around with August .. But that doesn't give Cali a right to jump the damn girl .

"Cali watch your fucking tone before I beat your ass again ." I interjected . I heard a few giggles in the corner coming from Josiah and August .

"Well you can beat my ass all day in here , aint nobody gonna stop you ."

"You right , so watch yourself ."

She rolled her eyes and continued talking to Sochitta . I looked at Chris who was looking down at the floor , him and Josiah had gotten into it pretty badly .To be honest , everything was a blur . Last thing I remember was me kicking Cali off of Jessie , then popping her in the face .

* * * *

"Guys ..." Jessie finally spoke after a half hour of silence . Everyone looked up at her including myself . "Why are we fighting? Shouldn't we be in thistogether ?"

She was right . We shouldn't be against each other , it was the staff we should be against . But we're too stuck in our own worlds to realize that .

"Yall know I'm right ."

Chrissat up from the floor . "You are right Jessie , but niggas love to act fake ." He glared at Josiah and August .

"You know what how the fuck am I fake? Out of ALL people how is August fake? HOW BITCH? HOW?"

"Wait , wait wait!" I interjected , "let'sjust all discuss our problems with each other."

"It's not fucking Friday."

"So the fuck what ."

"Fine." He sighed .

I smiled . "Good . August , Chris , Josiah ? Yall start it off ."

"There ain't nothing to start , them niggas fake ." Chris sneered .

"Christopher I want you to explain to me in clear fucking words how i'm fake ." August demanded .

"You had no intentions of telling me that Josiah was plottin and you suppose to be my 'day one nigga.'"

August stood up in defense . "And Josiah's my friend too. I wasn't tryna get involved in anything , you gotta respect that . "

"Whatever man . " Chris slumped back down onto the floor .

I looked at Josiah who was silent . " Got anything to say?"

"Nope . " He popped the 'P' .

"Alrighty then ," I sighed , glanced at Jessie , then Cali .

"She fucked my boyfriend!"

"Is this true August?" I swear I felt like I was Jerry Springer or suttin ' .

"Yeah , but I'm not her boyfriend ."

"That's not what you said when ya tongue was all up in my pussy last night!"

I heard gasps echo throughout the room while August's cheeks turned red . "Is this true?"

"Sayra , shut up . "

I busted out laughing , I couldn't help it . "Damn Jessie don't kiss that mouth again or else I ain't never sharing my orange soda witchu ."

"Well August didn't tell me any of that shit so instead of coming at my head , go at his ." Jessie sneered .

I looked at Cali . "Girl , these niggas ain't shit , especially the lightskinned ones . " She let out a small laugh while Chris gave me the stank eye . "What?" He shook his head . The next person I looked at was Sochitta , I almost forgot she was in here . "Oh yeah ... What the fuck you trippin for? You aint have shit to do with this . "

"Did you forget I'm a fucking sociopath?"

She had a point , which is why we all finna end this right now . "Well no more bullshit . That's it . Beef is over . Finished . Gone . Zilch . Zippo ." Everybody was quiet . "Y'all hear me?"

"Yeah yeah yeah ." Chris added .

We all hugged and dapped eachother up . That fighting and plotting shit is a dub , we should be helping eachother out , not putting eachother down .

* * * *

Josiah .

Perfect . Now that Chris and I are cool , it will be even easier for my plan to take action . This is fucking excellent . We all made our way back to our rooms and I knocked immedietely . I wasn't tryna sleep in the white room with all them people , I ain't trust not one of them .

* * * *

Chris .

Yeah we might all be cool , but I still don't trust em . Hell no . That's like your nigga kissing your girl behind your back , you wouldn't trust them ever again would you ? No . Not me atleast . I was watching TV in the rec-room until Ms . Booker called me into Mrs . Trent's office through the loudspeaker . I walked into her office , only to see her in lingerie. She locked the door behind me and took a seat back in her chair .

"Christopher , can I ask you a question ? " She spoke softly .

"Shoot."

"Do you and Sayra have a ..... Thing?"

I immeditley said no . If I said yes she would try her hardest to keep us apart and I wouldn't be able to handle that .

"Then how come you don't see me anymore?"

"Because Delilah . I can't do this . I'm 17 years old , I have a lot on my plate . You understand right?"

She looked down . "I guess so ."

I left her office and bumped into Sayra on my way back to the rec-room .

"I thought you were sleeping?"

"Fucking Josiah." She rubbed her eyes .

"What'd he do?"

"He woke me up . Duh."

"Don't get smart ." I started tickling her.

"Okay okay ." She laughed uncontrollably , trying to push my hands away .

We walked back to the rec-room hand in hand , but on the way there I felt a pair of eyes watching the whole time .
