The Boy Next Door | LaMelo Ball

|12|

A few days later, I am walking to my locker.

I feel a group of girls staring at me.

"So, she's the girl that all the Ball brother's like? She not even that cute," I hear someone say.

Ignore them, Joslyn.

I look through my locker and I find a note.

It reads 'You think you've won, but you haven't XOXO -Anonymous'

Wow seriously so childish, already know this was Zuri.

I close my locker after I grab all the books I need. I stuff the note my pocket.

Gotta keep my evidence.

A few weeks later as I walk in the halls at school, everyone is staring at me.

I continue to walk thinking it's in my head,but no, everyone is staring at me and whispering to their friends as I walk by.

I try to listen in on what they are saying, but I can't hear them.

I keep walking and I put my head down I know this can't be good.

I have a feeling it has something to do with Zuri because ever since I got to this school there's been nothing but drama with her and her silly little friends.

I walk to my locker and another note falls out.

'Hey little slut, hope you have a wonderful day. -Anonymous'

Great another one.

I make it to my class and there is a group of guys sitting by my desk.

This shit already looks suspicious.

They all turn towards me when I walk in.

One of them smile at me.

"Hey Joslyn, how's your day going?"

"It's okay, do you need something?" I replied.

"That's great," the guy pauses glancing at his friends.

"So hey," he looks around and lowers his voice to a whisper, "How much is it for you to suck our dicks?"

Um, excuse me?

I look at the guy in shock, "I-um, excuse me?"

"Come on, don't play innocent. Everyone's talking about how you sucked LiAngelo's dick, do it for us too, yeah?"

"I didn't suck anyone's dick. If you and your little friends don't get away from me in five seconds..." I pause getting closer to the group of guys, "The only place your dick will be... is in your ass!" I flash them a smile.

"Oh, she's playin hard to get huh!" One of the other boys say.

They begin to get up and leave laughing with each other.

"You know you want this big D, Joslyn!" The guy says.

I flick then off.

"Yeah, that's more like it mami!" They walk out the classroom.

I roll my eyes and I put my head down.

During sixth period I walk with LiAngelo.

It's a silent walk to Jack in the Box.

LiAngelo seems like he wants to say something.

I know he knows about the rumors going around.

Finally, LiAngelo breaks the silence.

"Joslyn, I didn't start the rumors. I would never do anything like that to hurt you!"

I slowly nod my head. "Yeah, I know."

LiAngelo grabs my hand and I don't move my hand away.

This time, I let him hold it.
