I Need A Gangsta

Chapter 9: The Switch Up

Camilla's POV

"Good morning Mr. & Mrs. Taylor"
I greet MJ's parents when they open the front door for me.

"Good morning Camilla" they both say in unison while smiling. "come on in I think MJ is almost ready, would you like so breakfast?" MJ mom asks me while gesturing to have a seat in their  kitchen

'No thanks Mrs Taylor I'm not hungry" I say well taking a seat at the breakfast bar.

"Hey Mom did you still need me to drop off the tennis supplies at the Country Club today?" I hear Michael ask his mom as he walks into the kitchen.

"Oh hey, Camilla I didn't know you were here". He greets me awkwardly

"Hey Michael, I just got here I'm waiting on your sister to finish getting ready so we can catch the bus to school together". I respond annoyed that I have to even talk to him right now especially after the way he's been acting for the last couple of months including last night .

"You guys are catching the bus to school?" Mrs Taylor asks with an arched eyebrow in Mr Taylor's Direction

"Yes my car broke down yesterday morning" I say frustrated just thinking of you the amount of money I'm have to have to come up with to get it repaired

"That's ridiculous Michael will take you girls to school he's not doing anything right now" Mr Taylor states in a tone that leaves no room for argument.

Michael gives his Dad a hard look but refrains​ from responding and just has a seat next to me at the breakfast bar

"I'm going to go upstairs and check on MJ before we're late" I adresse to  everyone and then head upstairs before it gets any more awkward in the kitchen.

"Of course sweetheart and tell MJ she needs to eat breakfast before it gets cold" Mrs. Taylor responds to me with a understanding smile on her face

"Okay I will" I say before heading up the stairs to MJ's room

"OMG don't ever leave me by myself with your family ever again" I say while barging into her room without knocking.

She laughs while putting her new Vans on "what happened now"?

"Your dad and Michael are just so intense when they're around each other; but on the bright side your brother's taking us to school so we don't have to catch the bus" I say laughing even though I'm not too happy about being around Michael at the moment.

"How the hell did that happen?" she Chuckles and grabs her MCM bag and black Zara bomber.

"Your dad basically demanded he take us after I told him we were catching the bus, and I guess Michael just decided that today he'd be an actual intelligent human being and not argue with your father."

"Well anyway let's go before we're late for school" I say while grabbing MJ's hand in the heading towards the kitchen.

"Good morning everyone, Michael we're ready to go when you are" MJ tells her brother with a smile

"Good morning sweetie" her parents say in sync while smiling at her did she eat breakfast before you go "MJ you didn't eat dinner last night" her mother tells her.

"I have a test​ first period and you know I'm always sluggish after I breakfast mom I promise ill eat an early lunch" MJ says to appease her mother's worrying. Sometimes I envy MJ and her relationship with her parents of course they can be a little overprotective but I know it's​ just because they​ care about her and love her.

Michael gets up tell his mother goodbye and heads out the door to his   car.

Me and MJ follow him out the door after saying goodbye to her parents.

I sit in the back seat and MJ sits in the front and the five minute ride to school is quiet with absolutely no noise other then the radio. When we reach the front of the school I look out the window and see Chance talking to the same redhead from yesterday.

"Is that Chance and Cynthia? What happened I thought you guys worked it out" MJ I asks me while grabbing her stuff.

Instead of responding I open the car door and get out I honestly don't want to have this conversation about Carter in front of Michael, So I tell Michael thanks for the ride close the car door and head towards the front of the school.

"Yeah that was rude" MJ huffs once she catches up to me

"I'm sorry but I don't feel like talking about chance I also don't plan on apologizing to him for yesterday if he wants to flirt will Cynthia than he can be my guest"

"Hey Camilla Hey MJ" Emily greets us while handing us both our favorite
Frappuccino's

We both thank her and she drags us over to where our other friends are hanging out on the steps and unfortunately I have the misfortune of watching chance and Cynthia flirt with each other.

"God I really wish the bell would ring" I whisper in  MJ's ear

She Chuckles and we both greet all our friends

"Hey Camilla, I hope there aren't any hard feelings​ about me getting to know Chance , he told me you guys were never really a thing" Cynthia says in front of everyone while giving me a smug smile. BITCH!.... I make sure my face isn't giving any thing away before I respond with a laugh

"Don't worry sweety if I wanted Chance I would have him we've always just been friends so you have nothing to worry about on my end"

It's so quiet none of our friends speak they know how I am and they know there's​ no winning with me so they​ just watch the possible show

But just like I thought Chance and Cynthia keeps their mouths shut and everyone goes back to talking just as the bell rings, we all head inside with me and MJ leading our crew as always

"I can't believe that she just tried you like that" Emily says appalled as she steps on the other side of my locker.

"Me either MJ laughs"

As they replay what just happened I pull out my vibrating phone and I see a text from Michael

Michael: i see your little boyfriend screwed up already 😏

Camilla: grow up Mike the both of your are off my radar

Michael:  Cam lets move on we both made mistakes and we can both admit to that so why can't​ we get past all the petty drama.... Plus that little boy was a waste of your time anyway

Before I get a chance to respond I hear  MJ ask who I'm texting so I quickly put my phone away grab the books and start walking with them to our first period

"It was just my dad" I tell her nochalantly as we're walking into class. She nods her head in acknowledgement.

This is going to be a long day! I think as I have a seat at my desk.
