Love & War (MB Love Story)

Chapter 2: Communication

::Kenn's POV::

Everyone lives this perfect life, two parents, nice clothes, nice houses.... not me. My mother raises me by herself in a close-to-decent home in a bad neighborhood, and i may not dress... what do you call it? "trendy"? i dont know... but i dress how i want to. whats comfortable for me and i dont really care what people have to say. Well I am in 1st hour, Language Arts right now. I decided i wanted to get there early. Well apparently someone else wanted to be early too. I walk in the classroom to see Roc on his phone.

Kenn: Well Well Well, who do we have here? Mr football star. funny seeing you here

Roc: whachu mean?

Kenn: I thought you would be out in the halls with your friends

Roc: I thought you would be out in the halls with that gay guy

Kenn: haha very funny but Prince is not gay

Roc: oh please! even that name, "Prince", is gay

Kenn: whatever

I go and sit by myself at a table on the oppsite side of the classroom. not just because i am totally crushing on him and nervous to sit anywhere near him, but because he was picking on my best friend

Roc: Hey why you sitting all the way over there?

Kenn: easy! how about because i want to (said in an attitude but flirty at the same time kind of way)

Roc: come sit closer to me

Kenn: nahh i think i'm good

Roc: sorry i was talkin bout your friend like that

Kenn: Its kool, we are both used to it anyways

Roc: well i guess if your not gonna come over here, then i will come over there

Kenn: why? (says while laughing)

Roc: well we are the only two in here (says in his deep, sexy, flirtatious voice)

Then the bell rang and a big mob of students came rushing in. Thank the lord because i wasnt sure what i was going to say next. I'm not that good with talking to guys. Surprisingly, Roc sat with me instead of his friends. I felt all special. The teacher came in and started explaining how today's class was going to go.

Roc: is it just me or do you feel like Charlie Brown?

Kenn: what do you mean?

Roc: well all i hear from Ms. Jones is "wah wah wah wah wah"

I couldnt help but to giggle when he said that

Ms. Jones: um Kendall and Chresanto, is there something you would like to share with the class

Kenn: No ma'am

Ms. Jones: ok then. as i was saying......

Roc: so why dont we ever talk? you seem pretty chill

Kenn: maybe because you gon get us in trouble

Roc: nahh thats not it

Kenn: look can you just shutup so we can go thru class

So towards the end of class, Chresanto decides to bring up that question again. Its kinda getting irritating

Roc: So Kenn...

Kenn: Only Princeton calls me Kenn

Roc: well now its me and Princeton that call you that

Kenn: why are you talking to me like you know me or sumthin

Roc: maybe cuz i wanna get to know you... so why dont we talk? you seem really nice... i think

Kenn: Chresanto---

Roc: please call me Roc *winks*

Kenn: Roc, you and me are totally different. you are popular and i'm not. i get picked on, you dont. you hang out with all the popular kids and i hang out with my best friend who is known as "that gay guy" and i'll be happy to let you know that he is not gay. you have a nice wonderful family and these nice houses but my parents are separated, i barely know my father and i am from Detroit... the ghetto part of it. that is why we dont talk, we are nothing alike. now if you will excuse me, i need to get to my next class.

Roc: Kendall wait...

I am now walking off because i am so pissed. I really dont care that he is callling after me... Time to go to math class with EJ and Prince. I get there and i sit down and write down the homework that is on the board without even talking to Prince.

Prince: Kenn! whats wrong?

Kenn: nothing... i am just upset

Prince: Kendall listen to me, i have known you long enough to know that there is something wrong with you when you look like this

Kenn: there is nothing wrong. i promise

I tried to force a smile, but it didnt work. I am really pissed that i just went off on Roc like that, I really like him and i never thought i would just snap on him like that. am i on my period or sum cuz these mood swings crazy. its killin me. I really need help to like flirt instead of being mean.

I am sitting there staring at Elijah and i didnt even realize the bell rang. Elijah sees me and gives me a creepy look.... welp! i blew it! time to go to Music class. One of my favorites!!!

I get there and there is only one seat left... next to Elijah. ugh... he already thinks im creepy. i would rather sit on the floor but i dont. I never really talked to EJ that much. like never.

EJ: hey

Kenn: uhh hi

EJ: why you seem so nervous to talk to me?

Kenn: i dont know

Ms. Lyric: Ok class now lets start. as you all know, we have a concert coming up

I am on my phone texting Princeton because i dont really care what she is talking about.

Ms. Lyric: um Kendall. Give me your phone.

Kenn: no no no

Ms. L: yes Kendall. you know my rules. no phones when i am talking or we are singing

Kenn: Why? i already know what we are going to sing and i can sing it perfectly

Ms. L: then why dont you come up here and sing the sond we are singing... Right There by Ariana Grande and Big Sean... do BOTH parts

Aw shiz! what have i gotten myself into? I have stage fright. whoops

Kenn: But Ms. L--

Ms. L: NOW Kenn

Kenn: can i turn around so they cant see my face?

Ms. L: No

Kenn: Can they turn around so they cant see my face?

Ms. L: no... now sing

I heard people in the class laughing at me and making fun of me. so i decided to sing and blow their minds! as soon as i started singing it... the room got quiet and jaws dropped. as soon as i got to the 2nd verse... i heard background piano music... it was EJ. Dawg! it felt like High School Musical up in this bish! Then everyone started singing and dancing.
