Right Thru Me

Chapter 13

~Nicki~

The next morning I decided to have bagels for breakfast. Roman and mom were already awake. They were in the kitchen waiting for me.

"Oh Nicki I meant to ask you about your phone. What happened to it? Why didn't you answer any of my calls the night of that girl's party or the morning after?" mom asked me. I looked at Roman with hopeful eyes. He looked back at me as if to say "can't help you with this one sis!"

".....The truth is, my friend threw up on me so Miley generously washed my clothes but she carelessly forgot to take my phone out of the pocket. I'm sorry that you had to worry mother" I said politely as I popped my bagels into the toaster.

"Oh boy..." she said as if she knew what I was gonna say next.

"So....will you....buy me a new one?" I asked with a big bright smile and fluttering eyelashes.

"Nicki...you know I love you. But I just don't have the money. Roman, don't you dare give her a dime! Its time for Onika to get herself a job" she said.

"A....job?" I asked, stunned. Then my bagels popped up. I took them out, put them on a plate, and glazed them with cream cheese.

"If you want a new phone you'll have to get a job. But don't worry! Minimum wage is about $8.25 an hour, forty hours a week, about $300 a week, you'll have enough money to buy a new phone in no time!" mom said.

"Ugh...fine. Roman. Would you like to go with me to look for one after school today?" I asked my brother as I munched on my breakfast.

"Oh, speaking of school, I'm coming with you as a visitor today. I just might get enrolled too. But if I do, that won't be happening until next week or maybe even the week after" he said, ignoring my question.

"Nicki don't you have drama rehearsal today?" mom asked.

"Actually, I don't know. I have to use the computer to check my email" I answered. When I went to check it, it turns out that I do have rehearsal today. I only have 15 minutes to look for a job after school today. That's not a lot of time. Ugh, life kinda sucks right now.

"Nicki?" mom called.

"Yeah, here I come! And yes, I have rehearsal today" I called back. Shit. Rehearsal today. I don't feel like dealing with Willy. He's gonna be all over me trying to win my forgiveness. Not gonna work. I'm so done with him. I walked back into the kitchen and finished my bagels so that we could be on our way to my school.

"Have a nice day, stay out of trouble" mom said as she pulled up to the curb in front of my school. When we got out the car, we walked in school and Roman received his "visitor" pass. He was told to follow behind me to all my classes and that the only time he had the chance to wander was at lunch. He was allowed to participate and required to do the work unless he was unfamiliar with the topic.

"This will be fun" he said with a smile.

"Ummm I guess" I answered.

"That wig is really working for you by the way" he complimented.

"Ummm I guess" I repeated. And then we got going.

When it was time for lunch, Roman quickly ditched me and made his way to the cafeteria. When I walked in, about five minutes after lunch officially started like I always do, I noticed that Paris was no longer sitting wth my girls. Good. I can't stand her ass. Her fake ass bitch ass wannabe ass has been ass bottle blonde head ass whore ass slut ass CUNT. I dismissed her from my thoughts and made my way to the lunch line. After I got my food, I headed for my table and as I walked toward it, Miley called me. She invited me to sit with her and her friends and I accepted. When I got there, I asked her if I could invite my friends over to the table as well and she told me that there wasn't  anymore room, which was true.
