Love Affair

17| New Flame

Skylar POV

I had arrived at school and it was lunch time . I just sat at a table by myself, I never really eat the school food and I don't have a car to go get anything so I just draw in my sketchbook most of the time..

" So, where you been at?" I heard Brandon say

"I overslept."

"Oh really.. why you keeping things from me Sky? You been acting different.. like you ain't interested in me"

"I don't know what you're talking about B."

"See.. and you don't care to know either, you done got a nigga or something?"

"So what if I did. We're friends Brandon- I don't say anything when you got a new girl every other week and you start acting different . You been pressing me lately, why?"

"I ain't pressing you, I'm just concerned."

"Well, there's nothing to be concerned about, I'm fine "
I fired

"Aight"
He said then got up and walked away, going to sit with his other friends.

I've always known Brandon had a little thing for me but I told him along time ago that were friends and that's all we're ever gonna be and yea of course he was upset for a bit but once he accepted it he came back around and told me that he respects our friendship. But its like he's reverting back to those feelings that I thought we already addressed.

The bell rung and I headed to my AP Calcus Class.

The teacher went on and I was in my own world just now processing what Carti told me this morning. I now know that he is in some gang called the MOB, he sell and he killed somebody. And so its true.. Rakim is a drug dealer and I guess he is in that MOB thing too since Carti was so pressed on me not telling Rakim or Rocky, I guess that's what they call him. It just amazes me that I'm not even surprised. I guess that means that Brandon was right but once again.. how did he know?

-------

I was leaving the subway and heading to my house. I saw Rakim sitting on his stoop smoking a blunt looking sad as ever. I didn't know whether to just keep walking or talk to him. He actually looked like he needed someone to talk to.. I just didn't know if that person should be me.
I let out a sigh and headed to his direction.

"Hey, Rakim.."

"Wassup Sky"
He greeted back giving me a half smile

"Can I sit with you ?"

"Of course.."
He said patting his lap

I chuckled and took a seat next to him. He just kept smoking his blunt

"Um.. I didn't want anything, you just looked a little down so I thought you might need someone to talk to "
I said getting nervous. I don't know why I always got that way around him its annoying.

" Thank you that's real nice of you but I don't wanna talk about it."

"Ok"
I grabbed my backpack about to get up to leave when he pulled at my pants.
