Romeo Is Bleeding

2

I pulled into the school parking lot right in front of the building. I grabbed my bag and hopped out the car. All eyes were suddenly on me. I was kind of use to this already. People call me the Princess of the North because my brother basically runs shit. And the fact that I beat a girl into a coma last year doesn't help.Walking into the school the loud hallway got quiet. Almost like everyone was waiting for something .
"Right there!" I heard someone yell. Next thing I know I getting punched in my face.
"Ahhhh!" I scream trying to fight back. Feeling the blood run down my face. I got a couple of hits in but who ever this was wasn't letting up. I was being blinded by my own blood.
"Yo nigga .She a female!" I heard another voice. The guy was now choking me, and the air slowly left my lungs until someone grabbed him off me.
"Watch ya self! Putting ya hands on shorty!You know we don't t play that."
"Nah her brother killed Chris. He killed my brother man!" I tried opened my eyes . I saw two boys.
"She ain't got nothing to do with that. Mind ya self before you get hurt."
My attacker punched the locker walking away. I stood up only to feel hands on my waist helping me. I felt dizzy and couldn't really see anything. But I know I didn't want no help from no one.
"Get the fuck off me nigga!" I yelled pushing his hands away wiping the blood off my face.
"That's not my name and I was trying to help you." He spat back.
"I don't need ya help. Stay away from me."
He smirked. "Whatever you say princess." I don't know what came over but I slapped him. I hated that name.
"Don't call me that. And don't talk to me!" I yelled walking away. Halfway down the hall I hear
"The names Romeo, Queen."
I walked into the nurses office. Ms. Mabel was the sweetest white lady I've ever met. What the hell was she doing working here.
"Good morning missy." She said to me.
"Still getting into trouble. What girl you beat up now?"
I smiled. "Not a fight not a girl. Some boy got caught in some stuff with my brother and..."
"Attacked you." She said finishing me sentence.
"I can't wait for you to graduate. You deserve better than this. This was not the homecoming you needed.
"So tell me how's my boyfriend?" I asked talking bout her 5 year old grandson.
"Bad as ever. He cursed out his teacher the other day."
"What happened?"
"She told him no he said yes and everything ended up with him getting moved to red."
"Ahh. White people problems." We both started busting out laughing.
"Omg. Look at your face!!!!" Justice busted into the office grabbing my face. "I swear Tyrek needs his ass beat!" She yelled. I remember him. Justice used to fuck with him on the low back in the eighth grade.
"I'm fine. Mabel is patching me up."
"You wanna go home?" She said rubbing my cheeks.
"I want you to stop touching me and no it's the first day."
"Oh your going home you have a concussion." Mabel stated.
Justice smiled. "I heard you slapped Romeo. You got some balls considering him and ya brother got major beef."
"None of this shit should involve me!" I screamed punching a hole in the wall. I took a deep breath. "I just wanna lay low and graduate."I grabbed all my stuff and storm out the nurse office.
I bumped in a wall I think. Feeling myself falling a brace my body. Then I feel hands gently grip my waist.
"Hello Queen." His smooth voice said.
"I thought I told you to stay away."
"Did you forget my name already? It's Romeo. Ro Me O." He said slowly.
"Staying away? I don't need no trouble." I asked slower.
"I think you don't know how to say thank you. I mean I saved your life twice today."
I pushed his hands off me.
"You wouldn't have to save me if your friend didn't get hand happy. And I can take care of myself."
He nodded. "Or maybe if your brother didn't get trigger happy. You know he's done right."
"Leave me alone." I said walking away feeling his hand grab my wrist.
"I'm sorry." He sighed "I shouldn't involve you, this isn't your problem. Let me make it up." He eyes me up and down biting his lip. "Let me take you out."
"I rather get shot... Again"
"Your brother keeping fucking up you just might."
"What happened to leaving me out of this?"
"You said you got yourself right." He says walking off.
I always have myself.
