Convict (JAYONCÉ)

2

Briana was making her way to school as she has done for the past 2 weeks. She could say she has gotten used to it so it wasn't that bad anymore except from this particular group of girls who won't stop giggling at her when she walks past or pointing at her. Even though it was passive and not so much direct as she would like it to be so she could confront them, she was getting to the edge of knocking them out anyway.

She went to her usual bench and sat there until she heard the bell. She would go to her locker to get her books like all the other kids do but she doesn't really need it since she cant really afford to get textbooks or to even decorate her locker. All her notebooks fit in her bag anyways so the locker was just a given thing. 

?: She's so lame

The girl who usually makes sly comments about her when she walks past said as she did what she usually does when she sees Briana, looks at her, looks to her friends, laugh and make the comment. that was a bit pussy-like for Briana and that's not how she did things. if she had a problem with someone she'd let them know. She got the feeling this girl was all talk and no action so she didn't see the point in confronting her. 

B: Hey Briana

Miss Knowles said as she walked down the hallway and noticed Briana sitting on the bench she usually does in the morning. 

BRI:... Hi

B: Make sure to get to class on time okay?

Briana nodded

BRI: Mhm

B: Have a good day

She said with a small smile as she walked past her to her office. 

BRI: Thanks

She said not really bothered if she could hear her or not. The bell rang and she went to Miss Maraj's classroom  to see she was the first one in there. 

N: Hey Bri

BRI: Hi

She said with a little smile. She had gotten used to Miss Maraj and thought she was alright to talk to.

N: Bri I want you to sit at the front for this lesson

BRI: Why?

N: Just trust me

Briana shrugged and sat where she was told as the other students came flooding in the room. She didn't know why Miss Maraj would want her to sit here but she listened anyways. 

DURING LESSON

N: Okay so what can you guys gather from Shakespeare's sonnet 20?

A boy raised his hand and everyone looked at him. 

N: Dre?

She said gesturing him to speak

D: He gay

He simply said making the class laugh. Nicki rolled her eyes trying to fight off smiling and laughing at his comment. 

N: Any detailed interpretations of Sonnet 20?

She asked again but giving Dre the side eye playfully with a small smile this time. A girl raised her hand this time. 

N: Go ahead Alicia

A: I took note of lines 9 to 14 and I gathered that despite his love for the young man, Shakespeare doesn't want him physically. Therefore he is satisfied to love the young man spiritually as he wants women to enjoy the 'manly gifts' they give to the world. 

N: That's a very good analysis Alicia good job

Alicia smiled and pushed back her glasses a little as the rest of the class frowned not knowing what the hell she was talking about.
