Onika Maraj is adjusting to senior year and getting ready to graduate. She has to move all the way from NYC to North Carolina. Will she end up losing her boyfriend in the move?
I was gonna ride with Justine again but she had to pick up her little brother from middle school. I pulled my phone out my back pocket and plugged my headphones in. As soon as I turned on Perfect by Dave East aka my future baby daddy, Nasir called. I let it ring four times before answering. "What?" I said answering the phone. He chuckled.
"Why the attitude? I'm outside your school, where you at?" Is he serious.. why the attitude? He really has to be kidding me. "Nas, I'm walking home. Are you seriously asking why I have a fucking attitude?" I kinda yelled into my phone.
"Yea... I really don't understand why you mad? You aint text me all da-" I hung up on him. I don't have time for him to play dumb like I wasn't blowing his phone up since he left my house last night. I'm not in the mood. I need to get home and study for my SATs. I'll talk to him once he apologizes for not talking to me. He called me again. I ignored it, but he called again. Declined.

"So you just gonna ignore my calls?" He was driving right beside me now. My attitude got bigger. He acting like this is funny. "We need to talk, so hop in." He stopped the car so i could get in. I kept on walking. He got out the car and started walking up to me. "Onika! Stop being stubborn we need to talk asap." I turned around and crossed my arms. "Talk then nigga." I said sternly. He ain't say anything. "Get in the car. Then I'll talk." He said. I followed him to the car. He opened the door for me then he got in.
"Okay now, talk." I said with my arms crossed. He started the car up and began driving me home.
"So I'ma start with an apology. I shouldn't have been ignoring you yesterday. My mind has been extremely clouded." Nasir said. "You just were at my house so what happened between then and now?" I asked. He sighed and started talking.
"There's this girl-" I cut him off. "A GIRL?! Are you cheating on me? Let me out the fuckin car." I tried to open the door but he locked it."Are you cheating on me Nasir?" He shook his head no.
"Just let me explain.. the girls name is Kelis. The reason I was late picking you up the other day is because I was with her. We were only talking. Then yesterday she was in my internship and all of a sudden she kissed me. I'm sorry." He said. I was just staring at him. I'm hurt. He lied. He said a girl would never distract him from me. Five minutes went by and I still hadn't said a word.
"Onika..." He put his hand on my knee. I slapped it off. "Can you please say something?" He asked. He sounded sorry. "Did you kiss her back?" I asked. There was a silence then he replied yes. I nodded my head in understanding.
"Let me out the car now." I wanted to start crying. He didn't unlock the door. i banged my fist against the window. "NASIR. LET. ME. OUT. THIS. FUCKING. CAR?" At this point tears were flowing from my eyes. "Onika calm down, please, baby calm down." He said. His voice was soft.
"Don't 'baby' me nigga, you weren't thinking about me when you were with that bitch. Let me out this car before I say something I regret." He sighed then unlocked the door. "I'm sorry Nika, I love you." I got out the car without saying anything. I walked home. Tears still pouring down my face. They wouldn't stop. I got home, ran upstairs to my room, and slammed the door. A few minutes later my phone was vibrating. Nas was calling me. I declined. He kept calling, I kept declining.
"Nika.. do you want to talk?" My mom said as she knocked on my door. "No Mommy, just leave me alone." I continued crying into my pillow. I can't believe he was with some other girl, he's only supposed to be with me. If I can't trust him while he's in the same city as me, how can I trust him when we both go away to college.
NASIR'S POV
I know I messed up but I didn't expect her to react like that. I know she's hurt right now, but I just want to talk to her. I am seriously sorry. I ain't never feel like this about no female before. I went through so much to bag her, and I fucked it up for some random girl. I got back to my dorm and laid down. I picked up my phone and called her again. She's declined my call five times in a row. I really want to fix things. I'm so fucking sorry. I got out of bed and walked to my cousins house.
"ayo Jungle! Jungle! nigga come outside. I need to talk." I started yelling at his window. A few seconds later her came outside. "Wassup nigga?" he asked. "I fucked up man, I kissed another girl. Nika aint talking to me no more." I said as i put my hands on my head. Jungle laughed at me. "Damn my nig, she got you stressing. All you did was kiss ol' girl? and you tripping like this. Let this shit go." he laughed, I punched him in the arm. "Nigga this aint no game. I care bout Onika. I love her." Jungle looked at me in shock, "deadass?"
I walked off the porch and kicked the rocks in front of his house. "Deadass, Jungle, I ain't never been this way bout no girl. I ain't tryna lose her." He was silent for awhile. "Go make shit right then, leave the other chick alone. Get ya shit straight. That's it." i nodded my head in agreement. I dapped him up and started walking back to my dorm. As I was walking I texted Kelis. It's time to end our lil friendship.
- Aye, Kelis you cool ashit but I can't lose my girl over some dumb decisions. I'm sorry but we can't be cool no more.
I then decided to texted Onika.
- Nika, I'm sorry. I love you. Tell me what I can do to fix it.
I awaited her text back. I got back to my dorm and got in the shower. Once i got out, I looked at my phone. She still hasn't texted me back. I ordered some food and started my homework. I got distracted by the fact Nika ain't text me back yet, so I called her. She aint answer.
- I know you're mad. I understand that but I really am sorry, I'll do whatever to make it up to you.
Nika 😍😋 - I don't need you to make it up to me...
- Wym? this don't sound like you...
Nika 😍😋 - Its over Nasir. I'm done with it.
Nika 😍😋 - Done with you.
My heart dropped as I read that. My eyes started watering. I started typing as fast as i could, tryin to say anything to make her change her mind. I can't lose her.
Nika 😍😋 - Nas I'm sorry too. Let's just take a break.
