Suicide Note

Chapter Twenty-Two

Christopher...

"Now I'm no dummy..." My English teacher starts off as she closes the classroom door. My head lifts from its place on the hard desk and I let my eyes travel over to her. "There's a video going around of two of your fellow classmates." She gives a few kids the eye and my face begins to redden. "I am disgusted at the fact that you guys find it entertaining to invade someone's privacy. I have gone to the principal about this, every student who has shared or commented on that video will be held responsible for the bullying they're doing and the kids who recorded it will be suspended. That is child pornography! These boys are only seventeen and should not have to be scared to be intimate with one another because their are kids like these around! Now... open up your books to the next chapter, we're going to popcorn read. We have a quiz tomorrow on the last three chapters." She says and I let out a shaky breath.
"Nigga snitched, I bet you." A boy mumbles from behind me. I rummage through my backpack for my book as another responds to him.
"Bet he did! Mad cause he got caught sucking dick. Trey was right, he a bitch." He whispers to his friend and I stiffen at his name. I fucking knew it. I quickly swivel around in my seat and glare at the two boys.
"How bout y'all mind your fucking business! Ain't nobody snitch, social media does fucking wonders so how long did you think it would take before at least one teacher found out?" I hiss in a whisper and they stare at me, shocked that I had the balls to reply.
"Christopher... everything alright?" I hear the teachers voice and I turn back towards the front.
"Yes ma'am" I reply softly and she stares at me for a couple of minutes before nodding.

The class period drags on slowly, some kids read fluently while others piss me off by stuttering the whole time. When the bell rings, I stand from my seat and grab my book bag before slinging it over my shoulder.
"Hey baby..." Rocky says softly as he leans against the lockers next to my class. I give him a light smile and begin to walk down the hall with him.
"I guess they're going to punish all the kids who've been bullying us." I say lowly and he raises his brows as he looks over at me.
"For real?" He asks and I nod as we make our way outside.
"Yeah, my teacher found out about the video and went to the principal about it." I mumble as my feet drag me across the football field. Robyn was already waiting for us underneath the bleachers when we get there.
"Damn... that's a lot of fucking kids." He says as he takes a seat on the ground. I follow behind him, resting myself in between his legs.
"I know, I think it's a bunch of bull. Only kids they can truly punish are the ones who took the video." I say and he nods before running a hand through my curls.
"Wanna smoke?" Robyn asks softly and I shake my head.
"I'm coo..." I reply and Rocky nods his head at her.
"Yeah, lets roll up." He tells her and she nods before beginning the process. I watch on as she rolls up, taking her time because we truly didn't have anywhere to be. Rocky wraps his arms around me and I close my eyes, enjoying the fresh breeze.

"You sure you don't want a hit babe?" He asks and I open my eyes.
"I'm good..." I reply lowly and he passes he blunt back over to Robyn. She takes a pull of it, scrolling away on her phone as we listen to the sounds of the insects and other animals out and about right now.
"What're you two doing tonight?" I ask after a while of silence and they both shrug.
"I don't know... just going home I suppose." Robyn says and I look up at Rakim.
"Same, ain't shit else to do. Why you wanna do sum today?" He asks, his red eyes gleaming down at me. Nodding I begin to play with his fingers.
"Yeah, I think we all need sometime to have fun. We've been stressed out this past week and maybe a night out will help us relieve some of that. Y'all down for a movie?" I ask and they both agree.
"Yeah, I'm cool with it." Rocky responds and Robyn begins to pack up her things.
"Me too, I think we deserve it." She says and I nod my head in agreement.
"Well that's settled then. Y'all wanna go around seven?" I ask, my country accent slipping lightly. Rocky chuckles and and runs his thumb over my bottom lip.
"I fucking love that." He says making me blush and look away from him. "But seven is good, what about you Robz?" He asks, nodding his head over at her.
"Sounds great. Can you drop me off at home today Chris?" She asks and I nod before we all begin to stand up.
"Sure, I'll drop you two off and then be back around seven to pick y'all up." I say and we make our route back to the school.
"Ight, cool." Rocky responds as he opens the doors for us.
