Lucas pov
It was 3 am and i was asleep in my bed until i heard footsteps and shuffling. I heard voices too. My mom brought home another dude. I crept downstairs to see what they were doing. The usual. Coke and henny. Its so hard to watch my mom disrespect herself and body. See my mom used to be my best friend. We had a great bond and everything until my dad started to slip up and mess with drugs and got locked up when i was around 11. Since then its been a new dude every night. There were times are she is sober but its been a while. I called my aunt. She was the closest thing to a mother to me.
Phone conversation
"Lucas, do you know what time it is? I got work in tha morning boi" she said half sleep "I know but mom is at it again and i cant take it nomo" i said "Ard uhhhh pack your stuff and imma pick you up after school and take you in." She said still slumped "Thanks Auntie. But i want her to get better." i thanked her "She eventually will, i promise" she promised "Ard i will see you later" "Bye Miles" Phone convo over.

"Well good luck"Babi wished as i told her about the whole tutoring situation. "I know pray for me" i said as i put on my shirt for gym in the locker room. "Dont forget we gotta track meet this Sunday"Babi reminded "I didnt forget i just need a ride." I said slipping in my Nike pro gym shorts. "I gotchu sis" she said "This is why your my bestfriend." I said. "So you still like him?"Babi asked. She's the only one who knows i like Miles. "Yeah. I dont know what it is that makes me like him. I liked him since 8th grade" i explained "If he wasnt so dang disrespectful and abusive i would be ok with it." She said. "So what about you and Aaron?" I said wiggling my eyebrows and smirking. "We still talk but we're getting there." A smile crept on her face.

I was in the gym locker room changing into my appropriate clothes. This my favorite class mostly cuz i see Imani in them shorts 👅👅👅👅 but yeahh.
"So you cant play at all bro?" Aaron questioned "Not until i get my math grade up" i answered. "Dang,.. well at least you got yo boo tutoring ya" he said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Yea man"
"So whatchu gon do with Jada"Aaron said "Tbh ion know and ion want ha no more" i answered honestly. "Well you better find out quick if you want Imani." He said "I know" i said walking out.
Me and Jason sat on the bleachers. "OK CLASS! WERE GONNA PLAY A FEW ROUNDS OF VOLLEYBALL! BOYS AGAINST GIRLS!" coach Jay blew his whistle. We split up in our teams and started the game.
Imani pov
I got on the girls side of the volleyball net. I stood straight across from Lucas and i caught him stare at me. Events replayed in my head from the last time i saw him. He bit his lip and it lowkey made me feel some typa way. Its like one day he wants to kill me then he looks like he wants to........idk hes so bipolar. Anyway, the game started and as soon as i was about to hit the volleyball i was pushed outta the way by Jada. Hate that chick.... "Opps" she said acting like sge didnt do that on purpose. "Do that again and watch what happens lil thot"Babi warned "And what are you gonna do" Jada said rolling her neck with attitude. "Imma beat the mess outta you keep playin"Babi said getting all in her face. "Baby chill out" Aaron said getting behind her. "Nahh Nahh im tired of this ugly thot thinkin she above everyone!"Babi said raising her fist and everyone taking out ther phones to record the fight that was about to happen "Wassup denn" Jada clapped back (I dont feel like putting the fight in words so just watch😂😂 and just imagine that there in school and the winner is Babi btw😂)
I pulled Babi off of her after she did enough damage. Security took them to the office. Great.. now shes gonna get suspended and im gonna have no one here in school to be with me. Ughhh Skips to the end of the day.... I was getting my PINK bookbag outta my locker. My class is always last to get to our lockers. I was making my way to my out of the building until i felt my bookbag get snatched....it was Miles. "Yes?" I said feeling scared
"When can i come over your house to study?" He questioned looking at me "Umm im free today at around 5" i answered. "Send me your address" he said looking around to see if ppl were staring at us. "I dont have your number Lucas"
i said with a blunt attitude. He looked around again "C'mere" he said motioning me with his index and middle finger to go to behind his locker so no one could see us. "Put your number in and give me your phone" he handed me iphone 7 and i saved my name as Imani🙄 I handed him my 6plus and he saved his name as Miles👅. "Dont forget"
"I wont"
