Struggles of Life

Chapter 2

Sage

" Jusaan and Rebecca stop talking about those stupid niggas round me, I'm tryna eat. Damn, " I said while taking a huge bite out of my burger. The two of them rolled their eyes. I didn't really want to hear about Juju liking some weak nigga that can't even compare to me. I saw Juju tense up and Becca rolling her eyes and I'm sitting there lost as shit. I turned around and see Trixie coming to my direction, one of my main " jukeboxes, " walking to our lunch table. I already knew Becca bout' to turn up on this bitch. " Hey daddy, " Trixie came and wrapped her arms around me and kissed my cheek I shrugged her stupid ass off me. This hoe knew damn well we not even exclusive. Before I could swallow my food Becca was on this bitch. " Nuh-uh HOE! As your dumb ass can see it's mother fucking lunchtime, people trying to digest their food and not hurl so may you please excuse your thotty ass! " Trixie had this stupid ass smile on her face and I knew she was going to start a fire here, " Bitc-," I had to pause this shit. I raised my hand and Trixie shut her thirsty ass up real quick. " Look B, we'll talk later just bounce ok, " I said to her nonchalantly. I don't know what that statement meant to her but she smiled at me kissed my cheek and left. I knew Juju was gon' give some serious attitude after this shit. I was going to say something but Becca slobbered a lot of hand sanitizer on my face, she always got to do the most. " I really don't know whats up with you and these broads but watch yourself, Sage, " Rebecca said while rubbing the sanitized gel onto my face. 

" Look them hoes ain't shit, I'm saving my heart for someone special, " I said with my eyes set directly on Jusaan hoping she gets the hint. Sadly she already in full attitude mood and hasn't even looked at me since ole girl left our table. I feel stupid as hell for being like this, so I excused my self. " I'll holla at you guys later, " with that I left the table and went by my teammates. I play basketball and been MVP for my four years here at Belmorial High School. " Yo whats up with Juju, she kinda cute, " Malcolm our defensive player said giving MY girl googly eyes. " Nigga nothing up with her keep your eyes to your damn self, " I exclaimed mugging the shit out this basic ass nigga. My teammates went in a full-blown clowning session on Malcolm, Yeah something to let my mind drift a bit. 

Jusaan

" Thanks, " I said to Beccs while walking back to our destined classes, the lunch bell had just rung and I was in a sour mood after what had happened at lunch. Trixie and her hoe ass, I couldn't stand her. If I was a little more courageous I would have probably slapped that stupid ass smirk off her cakey ass face. " Thanks? For what Juju? " Becca questioned. Well better now than never I guess. " Well, I have this crush on Sage, Yea I know we best friends and all that but I just can't contain these emotions I feel for him. I-I don't know what to do about but just thanks for letting that stupid hoe know she wasn't wanted at our table. " I finished off really quickly. Rebecca started laughing and I instantly regretted telling her, " Girl took you damn near forever for you to realize that you and Sage were meant to be? I been knowing that you two are soul mates, I was getting kinda tired of waiting for you to figure that out. For being one of the smartest kids at school you're kinda slow. " Rebecca said to me in a very calm tone. This heifer knew all the while that I liked this nigga? AND didn't say shit, I smacked her ass upside the head. " Owww, Juju what the hell? " she exclaimed at me. I laughed at her, " You knew I've been having feelings for this boy and you ain't trying to help me out? " She looked at me and shook her head, " Girl, I wanted you to do that on your own but what I am going to do is make you guys an official couple. "

My mind really is whirling today, worried about my crazy ass momma and about what Rebecca said abouttrying to make me and Sage a couple. Speaking of him, I'm mad at his ass for even making a broad feel comfortable enough for her to come around like she is his girlfriend. I made sure that he knew I was livid, but I was also really sad because maybe he didn't even see me like that. I wear rags to go to school, I',m not the " oh she light skinned, long curly hair, Latina tiny waste, " chick that is every nigga's dream. I'm brown skinned, yeah I'm thick and I have wavy hair but I'm nothing to compete against those glamorous girls. I can't stand that with this society of today. Making it as if only a certain complexion of black or " mixed " being the only ones' classified as beautiful, but maybe they right too. The bell rang and I was the first to leave class to make it early for detention cause I don't need another one.
