Hidden Feelings

Elias Lorizio

"Jerome, you nasty as fuck bruh." I laughed as I drenched my baconator fries in ranch. We were sitting at a table on campus eating.

"Look man they came onto me. Who am I to turn down twins?"

"It's all fun and games until you catch something." Harper told him.

"Shut up because every nigga at this table has caught something except me." He pointed at me and Alex.

I sucked my teeth, "Bruh, you didn't have to put my business out like that."

"What did you have?" Harper leaned over the table looking between me and Alex.

"Gonorrhea." Alex shrugged, stealing one of her fries. Harper waited for my answer.

"None of your damn business."

"He was leaking that stuff." Jerome told her.

"You had Chlamydia?" She shook her head disapprovingly. "That's so nasty. You never heard of a condom?"

"All I got was head from the bitch. How was I suppose to know? And you can get off of us because let's not forget that pregnancy scare you had last year."

"Oooh I remember that! You just as irresponsible as us Harper." Alex laughed as she flicked him off.

"So nobody was going to tell me that we were eating out here today?" I heard Malia's voice as she sat next to Harper across from me.

"I told Eli to text you. You didn't text her?"

"Oops." I shrugged, biting into my chicken nuggets.

"Y'all arguing again?" Alex asked. Malia looked at me before rolling her eyes.

"I hope they get stuck in your head one day." I said. "Your boyfriend too busy for you today? Must be out with his side bitch."

"Shut the fuck up Elias."

"And what you gonna do if I don't? Stupid ass."

"It's so nice out today." Jerome looked around the campus smiling.

"Yeah, I heard-"

"I'm stupid?"

"That's what I said. You must like your position as a 9-5." I laughed as an watched her nostrils flare. I get a rise out of making her mad.

"Elias, you know you not right for that." Alex nudged me.

"Fuck her." I collected my trash and left the table before I hurt her feelings again. I haven't spoken to her in a week because of this reason.

I'm tired of Malia acting like she wants me then turns around and gets back together with that clown. It's like she wants to have her cake and eat it too. I refuse to be treated like a second choice.

I decided to go home before Alex and Jermone began to bug me about the situation.

"Hey mommy!" I shouted when I entered the house.
