Really?!

Chapter 11

Damien's POV

I woke up to my alarm clock. The radio was playing "What's Your Fantasy" by Ludacris on the radio. I stretched and checked my phone and had a text from Chanel telling me that her dad was taking us to school. I could get use to this.

I got in the shower and started to sing "When You Mad" by Ne-Yo. After that I got dressed for school and went in the living room to wait. I was watching some music videos until I heard a car horn outside. I peeped out the window and it was Chanel. I walked out the house and locked up. I got in the truck.

"Hey." I said.

"What's up." Chanel said.

"You think it's a good idea for us to get taken to school in a tented, murdered Escalade?" I asked.

"You can always walk." Chanel said.

"I was just saying. We picking up Rachel too?" I asked.

"Yeah." she said.

Usually we walk to school together so I just figured we would be picking her up too. We drove up to Rachel's and she was waiting on her porch. She walked up to the truck to get in and I slide over.

"What's good?" she said.

She says that every morning with her beats blasting. She turned them down.

I just nodded.

"Oh, hey Mr.Carter." she said.

"Hey, Rachel." he said.

"I'm surprised you're this calm with him around." Chanel said turning in her seat talk to Rachel.

"What? I'm supposed to act like a crazy fan?" she said. "You already know me."

"Exactly, what? You freaked out in the house?" Chanel asked.

"Yep." she said laughing. "He's your dad I'm gonna see him more often so I can be chill, plus y'all try'na leave me in here but that's all good."

Rachel got into Duke Ellington which is a performing and visual arts school in DC. Her mother can afford for her to go there. My grandmother couldn't.

"It's not even like that." I said.

"I'm pretty sure you can come visit us and we gonna be so busy with these schools that we'll bearly miss each other." Chanel said.

"Yeah, I guess." Rachel said.

We finally arrived at school.

"I'll be here at 3'oclock Chanel." her dad said.

"Okay." she said.

"Did yall need a ride?" he asked me and Rachel.

"Nah, we'll walk." I said.

"Alright, have a good day." he said.

We all nodded and got out the truck. As we were walking people were looking at us.

"Do y'all think people staring at us?" I asked.

"No, they looking at y'all." Rachel said.

We looked at her like what?

"Did you think you would be hanging with your parents all weekend and no one would noticed." she whispered to us.

"Oh great!" I said. "Look, Chanel try and be calm all day. Don't listen to what people gonna say, please." I said.

I do not need her getting in a fight or suspended.

"I'll try, but no one is gonna disrespect me." she said.

Chanel's POV

Man, people been whispering all day. This is so stupid, a couple pics with my parents and people don't know how to act. My mom warned me about this but I was like people don't even notice me unless I'm wearing new Jordan's.

This is annoying the hell out of me. I'm not even a popular kid. Finally the bell rung. I was getting up when someone knocked my book on the floor. These kids really trying my patience. I walked in the cafeteria straight over Damien and Rachel.

"What's with the face?" Rachel asked.

"These kids don't know how to act." I said.

"Yeah, they been staring all day." Damien said.

I looked behind me and someone was seriously starring.

"What?!" I yelled.

I bucked at him and he turned around. Man, I don't even want to be here anymore. I lowered my head when I felt something wet on my neck. I grabbed my neck and looked up. I turned around and saw some girl laughing.

"Sorry Damien." I said as I stood up.

"What?" he said.

"I'm about to break my promise." I said walking over to the girl.

"Wait, wait, wait." I heard Damien say.

"We got a problem? I know you threw it." I said.

"What, you think you a big shot cause you hang with Beyoncé and Jay Z." she said laughing. "Everybody knows it was for charity since you don't have parents."

All her little friends started laughing.

"Just don't throw nothing else or I won't be as nice." I said.

"Man, don't nobody care about you or that weave snatching bitch and her crazy ass family." she said. "She didn't even have that baby."

"What you say?" I said with my fist balled.

"I-" she started.

I punched her one good time and that bitch was sleeping. Her friends ran, must not have been her real friends. Since she sleeping yeah I searched her pockets. What the hell I'm gonna do with five bucks. Broke bitch.

I got up and left the cafeteria and ran under the stairwell till things died down. I went to my locker, changed hoodies, and put my hair in a pony tail. I

was walking to class and nobody noticed me. I sat down in class and started my work that was on the board. A few minutes later the principal walked in with that girl. He was talking to the teacher when that girl pointed in my direction. Snitch!

"Miss.Knowles." he said and told me to come up.

The principal told me to follow him and I did. Me and the girl were sitting in his office when he started questioning.

"Did you punch her Miss.Knowles?" he asked.

"I don't know what your talking about." I said.

"What? You punched me!" the girl yelled.

"Prove it." I said looking at her.

I plan to stay calm, cool, and collected while she looks like a fool.

"Miss. Knowles we have cameras and we know it was you." I said.

"I don't know what you were talking about." I said again.

I'm not even wearing the same thing, they can't prove it. Well they can but I'm not backing down.

The principal just shook his head.

"We're gonna have to call your parents." he said.

Oh great!

"Miss.Knowles, you first." he said.

I picked up the phone and dialed my daddy's number I wasn't calling my mom. It rang three times before he picked up.

"Hello"

"Daddy, somebody wants to talk to you." I said and handed the phone to my principal.
