My Gangsta Love (Completed, Sequel Out)

Chapter 3: Nurse's office and Secrets

"No, she's fine. Calling my mom would be pointless. She's on a plane to Florida right now."I hear Marquise say. He sounds far but close.

"Are you sure? A healthy young girl like your sister shouldn't just be fainting like that."I here a female's voice say.

"Yes, Nurse Jones. She got worked up over some personal issues. Sometimes she just does that. My guess is it's her brain's way of coping with the situation."Marquise says smoothly. That's Marquise for you. He can talk his way in and out of anything.

"Well alright. I have to go fill out some paperwork. If she wakes up call me."She says. I hear a door open and close. I open my eyes.

"Why don't you wanna call Mami?"I ask, sitting up slowly. Head rushes aren't fun.

"Whoa. You scared me. Okay well, I wanna assess the situation first. I'm not sure if this is a major or minor threat."He says. I shake my head.

"Whatever man. Go tell Nurse Jones I'm up."I say, swinging my legs over the side of the doctor like bed. He knocks on the office door. She comes out immediately.

"Miss Dixon, how are you feeling?"She says, checking my eyes then neck.

"I'm fine, just a fainting spell."I assure her.

"Are you sure you're okay? Do you remember what caused you to faint?"She asks. Obviously Marquise didn't tell her.

"Yes but it's more personal. I don't want to talk about it."I say.

"Would you like your brother to leave?"She asks, quick to kick him out.

"No no. I just would rather not talk about it. Now am I okay to go to class?"I say.

"Yes, just take it easy. If you feel dizzy, sit down. Then come back to me. Okay?"She says writing me and Marquise a pass.

"Yes ma'am."I say, taking the pass.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."Marquise says, picking up my things.  

We walk out the room, looking over at Marquise I see he's deep in thought.

"Are we really gonna keep this from Mami?"I ask.

"Yes, Harmonita."He says teasing me.

"Callate la boca ahora."I say back. I knock on the door of my bio teacher, then walk in. He has a class.

"Miss Dixon? What can I help you with?"Mr. Lettin asks.

"I just wanted to drop off my project. I would have did it earlier but I had some things come up. Plus carrying this around is too much."I say.

"Oh by all means come in. But it's not due until next week."He replies.

I walk into the classroom, all eyes are on me. I ignore them, I decide to put it on a shelf so no one will bother it. But of course, I'm too short. Some guy comes up and takes the project from me.

"Hey!"I exclaim.

"Just helping you out."Jaden Hardin, one of the popular seniors says, placing it on a high shelf.

"Oh why thank you Mr. Hardin."I say, shyly.

"Anything to help a pretty lady like you."He says. I blush. He walks back to his seat. I get my bookbag and purse. Walking out, I kiss Jaden on the cheek before leaving.

"Sorry for the disruption, see you fourth hour."I say then walk out.

"What the hell was that?"Marquise says as we walk to my English class.

"What?"I say innocently.

"The, 'Oh why thank you, Mr. Hardin' Mwah, Mwah, Mwah."He says over exaggerating and badly impersonating.
