Skai's New Life (COMPLETED)

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

            I ignored Anthony’s calls last night and the one two minutes ago. Doesn’t he take a hint? He calls one more time and I decide to answer. “What Anthony?” “Why haven’t you been answering my calls. I been worried about you. Your mom called me and told me you had another break down. What’s up?” I cannot believe she called him. He’s the reason I flipped out. “Did you ever go with Staci?” I blurt out. “What?” he asks as if I wasn’t clear enough. “You heard me.” “Um…yes I did. But that was…” “You told me you didn’t go with anyone here and that you weren’t interested in her. You didn’t bother mention that you’ve already been interested in her and that you went with her.” “Skai, it was a short time that’s why I didn’t pay it much mind…” “Did you have sex with her and then left her?” I ask getting to another point. “Baby seriously, the past doesn’t even matter. Why are you asking me this?” “Because she embarrassed me on Facebook. I’m here thinking you’re a good guy but you’re not. You’re a jerk, Anthony!” “No, she had just gotten clingy after we had sex.” “And you gave her a necklace like mine too huh? Well you can have it back!” “Baby don’t do this. Is that what made u mad last night?” “Yes it is and that’s what’s making me break up with you. I’m sorry I trusted you so soon.” I hung up and threw my phone on the bed. Since he wants to play games with me, I’m going to play games with him. I go to my closet and pick out a black and blue Derèon shirt, a short jeans skirt and my black Derèon sandals. I put on some silver and blue jewelry and blue eye shadow. I crimp my hair and let it hang from the sides and the back. I look too good. That’s exactly what I want him to realize he’s gonna miss out on. Anthony, you don’t know who you messing with. I walk down stairs and into the kitchen. “Where are you going like that?” Sebastian asks choking on his sandwich. He can be just as protective over me as I can over him. “To school. See you at the bus stop.” I say after grabbing a banana, fruit snacks and juice. I walk out the kitchen and head to the bus stop. I could hear him rushing out the house to come talk to me. “Skai wait.” He called out running out the front door. “Why are you going dressed like this though?” “Can’t I go to school looking cute without there being a reason?” “No.” he says sternly. “It doesn’t matter. I’m going like this ok.”

 I speed up with my walking and walk past the plastics. All eyes were on me. A boy even whistled. Smh. “Where did she get clothes like that?” I heard Jocelyn ask. These girls think I don’t know how to dress cute or something?. “Pathetic.” I say under my breath. “So you tryna be cute for Anthony huh?” Staci asked smiling like she’s won something. What she doesn’t know is me and Anthony aren’t even together anymore. “Nope.” I say as the bus pulls up. I get on the bus first and see everyone staring at me. Mouths were dropped. I must look really good. I walk past Anthony whose mouth was dropped as well. “Hey Anthony.” I say with an evil smile. I sit in my usual seat in the back and put on my headphones. “Today’s gonna be good.” I say to myself.

The bus stops at school and everyone gets off. Anthony stays in his seat just like I want him to. I walk past him and wink. He grabs my arm and turn me around. “What are you doing?” he whispers. “I’m trying to get off the bus.” I say pretending I don’t know what he’s talking about. “You can’t just break up with me and then the next day dress like this to make me jealous.” “You can’t just treat me like I’m one of your past girlfriends and think you’ll get my goods…because you’re not.” I say and finally get off the bus. I can’t believe I was almost fooled. “Skai, please don’t do this. I swear it wasn’t like that!” he yells after me. “So you didn’t tell one of your friends that you know I’d give it up to you?” I ask like I knew the truth when I was only hoping he’d say no. “Look, I only said it so I didn’t look like a wimp. Come on you know how Ronny is.” He confesses. “You jerk!” I slap him and walk away. I cannot believe he actually said that. I rush to the cafeteria to find Ronny to make sure he knows that Anthony ain’t getting ish from me. I see him standing by the drink machine with a few of his homeboys. He notices me then smirks at me. “Hey there, sugar.” He winks at me. What the hell is that about? “Look, Anthony lied to you. He’s not getting anything from me…EVER so you can keep that in your head.” I say. As I’m walking away, he pulls my arm and turns me around. Why do people keep doing that? “You don’t have to be ashamed. Maybe you just need a…bigger person to have fun with.” He says winking at me. “What the hell is with you people? I’m not going to have sex with Anthony and most certainly not you!” I yell really loud. “Word is you already did have sex with Anthony.” Some random girl shouts out. There was a crowd of people standing around me like I was putting on a show. “What?!” I yell. “Yep, looks like you couldn’t keep your legs closed and he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.” Staci comes from out of the crowd. “How do you like my leftovers?” she smiles evilly. This is very overwhelming. I rush through the crowd and back out the front door. Anthony was just walking in. “Baby, why are you crying?” he asks me. “I’m not your baby! You are one sick bastard you know. Telling people I had sex with you, you are pathetic Anthony!” I yell still crying. “Oh so it’s true?!” Staci laughs from behind me. “Witch you know that’s not what I meant. You people are possessed!” I pull away from Anthony’s grasp and run home. This cannot be happening. I run away from the school as fast as I could. I couldn’t have run any faster in these flats.

I don’t get it. I’m so strong but I crash when people say that type of stuff about me. I just don’t get why I broke down like that. I make it home in about 30 minutes. I just ran to my room and continued crying.

Memory:

            “All you’re gonna be is a no good child who can’t keep her legs closed. I hate looking at you.” My mom says. I hate when she gets drunk like this. She says the most hurtful things to me. “Mom, I’m not gonna be like that.” I cry to her. I’m only 11 but I know I won’t be like that. “Yes you are. You’re gonna be just like your dad. A cheater!" she stumbles over her own legs. “I hate it when you drink!” I say and run to my room. I slam my door and sit in the corner in a ball. I just sit there.

Someone calls my phone but I don’t even bother to pick it up. I drift into a deep sleep. When I wake up, it’s about lunch time. I grab me something to eat and go back upstairs. I’m not even going to look at my phone. I sit at my computer desk and log into Facebook…again. I go to Staci’s page because I know she’s said something about me already. Of course I was right.

Oh, Skai, you’re really pathetic. You actually thought he liked you for you? Yea I admit you have an ok body but that’s all he wanted. And your dumb ass gave it to him.

            Over 30 people liked her status. “Seriously?! These people are so stupid!” I am so going to kill her and Anthony. I’m sick of this. When I go to school tomorrow, I’m ignoring their BS. I have better things to do than worry about what these idiots have to say. I’m going to prove them that I didn’t sleep with him. I don’t know how yet but I am. How can such a nice person actually be a jerk? How did I fall for him so quickly? I slap myself on the forehead and shake my head in disappointment. Another phone call comes through my phone and I decide to see who it is. Anthony? Oh he must be stupid. I forward his call and walk away from my phone.

            At about 3:30, Sebastian calls me. “You can’t just leave school like that. I was actually worried about you.” “Why?” I ask. “I heard what they’re saying. I know you didn’t do and Anthony’s a jerk for that.” “Yep and tomorrow I’m going to prove he’s lying.” “How though?” I smiled really big. I’m going to use what he told me to do for the witch. “I’m going to record a conversation with him. Then I’m going to let it play over the intercom. I know a guy who can hack into the school’s system.” I smile evilly. “Wow you’re bad. Welcome to my side.” He laughs. “I’ll be home in a minute though.” He says. “Ok.” The twins were in their room doing homework as usual. They have no idea what high school is gonna be like.

            “Why Anthony?” I ask. “Look, I told you already. I can’t possibly tell my homeboys that I didn’t have sex with you yet. I’ll look like a punk.” “You look like one already to me.” “Please don’t do this. You know how these boys are these days. They think I’ve slept with all my girlfriends when I actually haven’t. It was only Staci and that was just because she has sex with everyone and she’s supposed to be good. She really wasn’t even all that.” he says. These words rang over the entire school building. I did it. He’s so caught now. Even Staci has been has been put on blast. I look at Staci who looks mortified. She busts out in tears and runs out the cafeteria. Everyone’s laughing at her and Anthony. He looks at everyone and then me. He shakes his head and leaves. Payback is a b… “How’d you get it to play like that?” Kendra comes up to me secretly high fiving me. She was great with electronics and I knew she could do it. I felt great now that everyone knows the truth. People even apologized for making fun of me. It felt really great.
