"Bro I told you to watch your back, I told you!"

"Huh?" I looked around, I was in a place that was pitch black . I knew it was Shakur speaking to me , but I couldn't see him . "Shakur? Where are you?"

"Over here nigga." The light shone down on him and he was sitting in a white chair . "You know where you at?"

"No , not at all ." I looked around some more .

"You in the place niggas go when they die . "

I swallowed the saliva that was forming in my mouth . "I'm d-d-dead?"

"Yeah nigga , well for now ."

"W-w-what? How did this happen? And what do you mean for now?" I started pacing uncontrollably .

"Josiah .. He suffocated you in your sleep ."

"And you ain't stop him!? Don't ghosts have superpowers or some shit?"

"Nigga I ain't superman ," he got up from the chair .. "Listen I couldn't stop him , all I could do is watch over you , that's it ."

"So now what?"

"Just wait , you should be waking up in 5...4...3...2....."

Before he said one , I jumped out of bed gasping for air . I grabbed my chest which felt like it was tightening . I can't believe I fucking died . Literally .

* * *

I walked into the cafeteria after taking my meds . Once I seen August's table , I gave Josiah the biggest smile ever , and even waved to the nigga . He looked scared as fuck , so scared he left the cafeteria . That nigga thought he killed me ? I'm fucking invincible . Now the hard part is gonna be explaining all this shit to Sayra and Jessie .

I made my way into Josiah's room before he got there and grabbed his journal from underneath his bed , where he always kept It . I then started to read his latest entry out loud .

"July 18th , 2014 ... Mm , yesterday .. Tonight is the night I will kill Christopher , there ain't a doubt I've always been jealous of him . He gets everything he wants since he's fucking Mrs . Trent . He even got Sayra but he won't have her for much longer . " Josiah walked into the room but I kept on reading . "Me and Sayra are meant for each other , I feel it every time I talk to her , but she'll realize that after Chris is out of the picture . I'm sorry bro but you're life is about to end ." I smiled then shut the book . "Is that so?"

"What the fuck are you doing in my room?" He stammered .

I rose up from the bed slowly . "The question is , what were you doing in my room last night?"

"You fucking read it ." He pointed to the book .

I shot him a sinister smile then took on of his chairs and placed it underneath the door knob. "You wanna kill me? Do it . Now is your chance ." He remained quiet , just staring me down . "Come on bro , I'm waiting ." I plopped down on his bed smiling . After five minutes of silence I got up from the bed. "Okay , I gave you your chance ." I removed the chair from under the door knob and left the room . I decided not to tell Sayra or Jessie , it was jus too much to explain . But don't think Josiah's getting off that easy .

Sayra . A Few Weeks Later .

"Aww , I remember when I was new ." I said , watching Mrs . Trent lead the new girl into her dormitory .

"Hopefully she don't fight like you ." Cali mentioned . We all busted out laughing , including herself .

"Facts , Cali you got your ass whooped not once , but twice . " August chimed in . Cali's laugh subsided and turned into a straight face which made us laugh even more .

"Should we introudce ourselves?" Jessie asked , smoothing down her hair .

"Yeah , that sound like a good idea ."

After Mrs . Trent left the girl's room , we went in . Ol' girl looked scared as hell when we walked in, I'd be scared too though , especially with the way we was lookin ' . "Hi , I'm Sayra ." I extended my hand out .

She smiled . "I'm Jeanylice (Jeanie - Leese) , call me Jeany ."

"Nice to meet you Jeany ." I smiled back .

"Likewise ." She looked behind me .

"Oh , I'm sorry . That's Jessie , August , Jojo , Cali , Sochitta and Chris ." I pointed to each one of them .

"Nice to meet all of you guys . I really appreciate this ." She had a strong spanish accent , but I could understand what she was saying . It was rather cute though .

"No problem ," I smiled , "hey meet us in the rec-room when you finish unpacking ."

"Will do ."

We all left out of her room and that's when the chatting began .

"Damn she's bad ." Chris exclaimed .

August chuckled . "She iight , she got a lil phatty .. But she okay ."

I gave Chris the side eye . I don't like that shit . I don't care if you say she looks good , just don't say that shit around me , it makes me feel insecure and I don't like feeling that way .

"But she's not as bad as my baby ." He put his hands around my waist and kissed my forehead . Tuh , that's what I thought nigga .

"Mhmm ."

"She is pretty cute ," Jessie started , "I might bag ."

August looked at her like she had five heads . I sensed a little jealousy but he had Cali so he shouldn't een be trippin ' .

* * *

"You think Jeanylice looks better then me?" I blurted out to Jessie , while I looked in the mirror .

"I'm not answering that ." She replied , her head down in her book .

"So she does look better then me!"

"You both are equally pretty . Okay?"

"Whatever." I slumped down onto my bed . To be straight up , I felt some competition . Especially now that I know Chris think she looks good . I hate feeling like this ... I wonder what Chris thinks of her ... I wonder if he thinks she looks better than me .. I hate this shit . My insecurites could eat me alive .
