Rivals // Norminah

I'm sitting in first period early, annoyed out of my mind that Alessia is sick. This meaning I'm alone in this class with Dinah and her minion Ally. Hopefully, Allyson keeps her ass in check the whole time.

I roll my eyes when I see Dinah walk into the classroom on her phone as students start to walk in as well. She looks up at me and then looks at my outfit up and down.

I'm wearing a white crop top with a black Adidas jacket over it and black high-waisted shorts. Dinah laughs as she drops her bag on the ground next to her desk and smiles at me.

"You just can't help dressing like a slut, can you?" I glare at her.

"Excuse me? I'm definitely not a fucking slut" Dinah rolls her eyes.

"Right. If you were a video game Normani, you'd be E for Everyone, okay? Don't front man" I stand up and walk towards her.

"Take that shit back right now" Students eyes are on us as I press my finger into her chest multiple times. She nudges me backwards making me take a few steps back to gain my balance.

"Don't be mad at me just because you fucked the whole goddamn football team. Maybe your mother should of taught you how to keep your legs crossed like a fucking lady or maybe you actually got it from her! Like mother like daughter, huh?" I slap Dinah and she touches her cheek. Ally quickly steps in between us.

"Stop! Both of you!" Ally says holding her hands out on both sides to keep us away from each other. I feel water run down my right cheek. I didn't even realize I was crying.

"Don't you ever disrespect my mother like that again or so help me, it won't be a little slap next time" I quickly wipe my tears and grab my bag off the ground. I sling it over my shoulder and push past Dinah and Ally and straight out of the classroom.

I walk out of school, get in my car, and just start driving not knowing exactly where I was even trying to go. After about fifteen minutes of driving, I park my car at our town park. I begin walking around with my hands in my jacket pocket before stopping at a certain tree.

I sit down leaning against the trunk and pull out my phone placing it next to me. Tears slowly start streaming down my face as I shake my head.

She doesn't know me. Dinah Jane knows nothing about me. She's not worth all this pain Normani, don't let her get to you! She's a nobody!

I wipe my tears and let out a small sigh. I pull out my phone and text the first person that comes to mind.

Normani:
are you in class right now?

China:
yeah, what's up?

Normani:
i can wait till passing period to text you...

China:
no no no! you're fine. id rather talk to a beautiful girl then be focused on my lesson

I smile at her text. This girl is so sweet yet she's friends with Dinah. How the hell does that even work out?

Normani:
good, bc i really need someone to talk to...

China:
why? whats wrong?

Normani:
Dinah is what's wrong

China:

Normani:
she's just so mean! like yes, i know I can be a total bitch but i would never call someone's mother a slut! like how the hell are you even friends with her China?!
