Chris and Kamaal

Chapter 34: Wrong Idea

Chapter 34: Wrong Idea 

*Jamal's POV*

As Kamaal walks back in the cafeteria, I straighten myself up. I rearrange my shirt, grab my books off the floor and walk to the courtyard to meet up with my friend from the basketball team, Michael. Michael looks at me up and down.

"Nigga what happened to you?"

'Nothin, just got myself into some shit." I sayas I sit down

"Who I gotta fuck up this time?"

"It's Kamaal, but don't worry about him, I can handle him."

"What do you plan on doing at this point?"

"I don't know just yet, but he got somethin comin to him. Just keep doin what your doin."

"Aight cool, I'll see you at practice then."

I dap Michael up, and he walks away. I've known Michael ever since we were kids. He's had my back for a really long time. Whenever I was bullied or about to get in a fight, he was always there to back me up. He was my protector and taught me how to defend myself. Before I know it, lunch is over, and I head to my English class.

*Chris's POV*

After Kamaal leaves me in the hallway, I take it upon myself to go back in the cafeteria. I head back to the table to sit down. Myra and Trey have looks of concerns on their faces as I let out a long sigh.

"So what happened?" Myra asked

"I didn't expect his reaction. He was concerned, then pissed, then- man I don't know." I say as I shrug my shoulders

"Chris maybe you're-"

"Trey why the hell did you open your mouth? You know I wasn't ready to tell him yet."

"Chris, I just thought-"

"No, you didn't think. You're always so quick to jump to conclusions."

"I already thought you told him." Trey says

"Hell no I didn't. I didn't wanna tell him until I was sure of who it was."

"Well Chris, he needed to know anyway."

"Why are you trying to control my relationship, and you can't even keep one yourself?"

"I can't keep a relationship Chris? You really wanna go there? Obviously you weren't doin somethin right for Jamal to cheat on you twice" Trey says defensively

"Wow Trey, really? You hit below the belt on that one."

"Nah Myra it's cool. It's obvious I can't tell him shit anymore."

Kamaal approaches the table and
senses the growing tension between Trey and I.

"Hey y'all, I'm- y'all niggas straight?"

"I'm Gucci." Trey says

"Yeah I'm good...real good."
I get up from the table leaving the three of them there. I go to my car and cry my eyes out. I really didn't mean for things to go that far. I start my car and take a quick drive before step team practice. 

*Myra's POV*

I don't know what the hell just happened earlier. Everything was going so well, and the next thing you know, this shit happens. It happened so quick. I turn to Trey and he has his hands over his face tapping his leg quickly. That usually means he's pissed off and tears just might come out.

"Trey what the hell just happened?"

"I don't know, you tell me."

"The hell you mean you tell me? Don't you think that you took things a little too far?"
