Stay on your terf! (Norminah)

Ch. 11

Normani's POV

"Damn Mani! What the hell happened?" I winced as Lauren touched my eye. "Nothin I ran into a door." I told her. "Come on I know that's bull shit Mani" She said as she shut her locker. I laughed a little because there was no lie in what I had said. "Nah! What you need to explain is where the hell did you go when you left us at the party?" Alexa was now all up in my face. "Okay for one, back the fuck up, two I didn't feel good so I went home. I told Tori everything Saturday." I looked over to Tori who gave me a thumbs up.

I walked away from them only to have them follow right behind me. They really are acting like lost puppies at the moment.

"Hey Mani-What happened to your eye?" Justin said as we came up to his locker. As soon as he said my name Arin and Trey turned around. "Damn!!" Trey started laughing. "Who fucked you up?" His funny looking ass just kept laughing. "Bro that shit ain't even funny man. Akekeke head ass. Mani babe are you alright?"Arin immediately pushed past Trey and came to my side. "Um yeah, thanks for caring." He truly sounded sincere. "Yeah no problem. Just let me know if I can make it better." He gave me a true smile. That's a first. I smiled back at him before I heard my phone beep. I looked down at it and saw a message from Dinah. I opened it and read it.

Meet me in the bathroom by the front entrance.

"Oh for a second I didn't think you knew how to open up messages cause apparently you can't text us back." Lauren said sounding a little salty. "Who is it?" Justin peered over my shoulder but I quickly brought the phone closer to my chest. "My mom...I didn't lock the front door. Hey I'll see y'all later I have to pee." I told them while putting my phone in my backpack. "Well I'll come with you." Lauren was about to follow but I stiff-armed her. "It's good I can pee without help." Arin had grabbed my arm and turned me around. "Is it okay if during lunch, you sort of sit by me?" He shyly asked. I smiled at him again. "Ofcourse." After that I walked off towards the bathroom.

When I walked in it was quiet. "Dinah?" I looked under the stalls but I didn't see any legs. "Mani is that you?" I walked over to the last stall and opened it. I laughed as I saw Dinah looking around all paranoid.

"Dinah what the hell are you on?" I grabbed her hand and helped her down from the toilet. When she came to her feet, a bag fell out of her jacket. I picked up the bag, and there it was. Molly. "Dinah...before school, really?" I grabbed her hand and walked her to the sink. That's when I realize she had a splint on her wrist. "Dinah what happened?!?" I grabbed the arm with the splint and started examining it. "Well in case you forgot, you basically pushed me out your window the other day! And you know you don't stay on the bottom floor!" I immediately felt bad. "Dinah I'm so sorry!" I tried to apologize but she just ignored it. "Anyway I sprained my wrist but don't worry, I told my mom that I fell down the stairs." I laughed at her lie. Mani I think the langoliers are out to get me!" She rushed to the door of the bathroom and shut it. "The fuck is a langolier?" I asked her as she came up and started shaking my shoulders. "I don't know! Look it up!" She yelled back. This dumb bitch is seriously high so early in the morning. "Dinah I think you need to go home." I tried to convince her but she refused. "Mani, I think, you need to join me. The langoliers won't be able to get you." She shoves the bag towards me but I just gave her a dumb look. "Dinah I'm not doing this shit this early in the morning. I have class." I tried to walk away but she grabbed my arm. "Come on. It's boring being high all by myself!" I just gave her a look. She's serious. "...Hand me the damn bag." I yanked the bag out of her hand and spread a few of the contents out on the sink.

"Bitch! It's been 20 minutes and ole pizza boy still ain't come bring our damn pizza!" Dinah and I were sitting under the bathroom sinks just minding our business. "Well Mani did you give him the right address?" Dinah asked me while she started dancing in her spot a little. "Why the hell they need my address for? He prolly gone stalk me or some shit!" I yelled back at her. That girl don't think.
