Unwritten: A Miranda Perez Story

Chapter 13: Secrets & the truth

Chapter 13:

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. It's a Tuesday morning and unfortunately, I have to go to school today. It's my first day back since the incident. At least Jawan's gonna be there with me today.

I went through my daily routine, then got dressed. Today I'm wearing a black tube top, with a Longroad Denim Vest and ripped jeans, my black feather earrings, concords & my favorite skull ring. I started downstairs. When I got down there I saw Uncle Chris talking to Diggy. Uh-oh. They found out about Shontelle? I sat in the kitchen alone eating a bowl of cereal. This is all I heard;

Uncle Chris: And when you do that sort of thing, you're not doing anything to me. You're only hurting yourself.

Diggy: How?

Chris: You're sleeping with a girl you JUST met somewhere! What the hell you mean, How?

Diggy: Alright, alright. Sorry... Damn.

Chris: All I'm saying is, she could've had an STD or something... You never know. You can't just do stuff like that, anymore. This ain't 88.

Diggy: Can we get off this subject, please? I need to get to school. You've made me late.

Chris: We will continue this conversation later.

Diggy: Whatever, man. Bye.

**He got up, walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water.

Diggy: You need a ride to school, Miranda?

Me: Uh, sure.

Diggy: Let's go.

**I poured away the milk from my cereal and put the bowl in the sink. We got into his car & he drove me to school. Of course, I was late. Surprisingly, Mrs. Ryan didn't say anything to me. I came when they were right in the middle of picking teams for basketball. I ended up on a team with Claire, Khalil, Justice, Kyle, Riley, Jay'ne & Chester. The other team was Leona, Trent, Martin, Chelsea, Shawnee, Katrina & Vince.

**Mrs. Ryan blew the whistle and the game began.

**Sitting in class. Jawan's on one side, Ray on the other. We weren't really doing nothing. It was nice and quiet until, Ray had the nerve, to open his mouth.

Ray: You understand this project, Bruh?

**Did this Nigga just speak to me? ... Never mind. I kept facing forward, acting like I didn't hear a thing.

Ray: Oh, you're still pissed? What's the big deal, anyway? Miranda's gonna tell him! It's really not that serious.

**At the sound of Miranda's name being called, Jawan's head snapped in our direction.

Jawan: Wait, what?

Me: What?

Jawan: What about, Miranda?

Me: We never said, Miranda...

Jawan: But, I just heard you sa-

Me: No, you didn't.

Jawan: Uh, yeah, I did. Is it really that serious?

Ray: No.

**I elbowed him... HARD.

Ray: Oww! Shit, man!

Me: Is what serious?

Jawan: Just tell me!
