To prove that she was very much alive she pinched his arm and he smiled before pulling her in for another hug. "Does this mean you don't hate me anymore" he asked rising an eyebrow.
"I never did hate you. You just got on my nerves" she said pulling...
After that day of course Steelo & Erik were suspicious but never asked I went up to my room to lay down and think about this. That was 2 weeks ago.
Erik had called me & he did explain what he was trying to do with Linda. How he really didn't go with her and she thought that and how she was an old fling. I'm still confused on why he just let me walk out the house though all he has to say was She was a Fling.
"Hello" "Wassup how you & Destiny doing" "We're doing alright you know you don't have to call every 4 hours and check on us right" "Nina what happened 2 weeks ago" "Umm- we'll you see that I don't know how to really explain" "What's your real name cause they called you something totally different then what we heard" "My name is Imani" "Why did you lie about your name?" "Because if I didn't I would've been tracked down by some people I don't want no parts of" "Then you could've to me Nina I'm going to always be there for you regardless of whether the fact that your from a totally different country & who is Zoya" "Zoya is Destiny's real name" "Why did you lie about that?" "Erik I just sat right here & told you exactly why I couldn't tell you our real name" "Ok so what's Skyler & Elizabeth real name" "Elizabeth name is Nailah & Skylers name is Sabra" "There not connected to you why did they change there names" "We didn't want Elizabeth to know about our home country mostly because that's where our father died but when we took Skyler with us her dad Omari told us to change her name" "How do you remember & Elizabeth dont?" "Erik your asking a lot of questions I barely know the answer too" "I mean you lied to me about your name & birth place & your daughters name" "On my daughters birth certificate her name states Zoya Jabari when I registered for school I told them put her down as Destiny Rains that's easy my name isn't" "Destiny was born in America or where you were born at" "I was born in Africa Along with Elizabeth & Skyler. Destiny was born in America." "You still didn't answer my question" "Because you have a million of them and you just throwing them at like I know the answer to all of them" "I'm sorry" "It's cool but I gotta go we been on the phone for a minute"
We both hung up and I laid back on my bed. Thinking about all memories of Me & Erik. More memories of when I use to visit Wakanda.
Flashback "Girl I'm tired of this class already & it's only the middle of sophomore year" I told Skyler. "I tired of it too" we both went to our lockers and talked some more before Elizabeth came "Y'all take algebra 1" she asked "Yea why" I looked at her.
"Girl that class hard as shit I feel so sad for the freshmen that gotta take that class but I hard it's this new boy & he's hella cute" Elizabeth says with a little excitement in her voice. Me & Skyler laughs before turning to her "Go get him tiger" we laughed one more time before we all walked towards the cafeteria "See there he is right there" Elizabeth said looking at him "Nigga don't stare for a long time he going to notice" I said continuing to walk.
"Damn she's right Nina he is fine as fuck" she said nudging me in the arm "Can y'all stop we got to go to lunch" I tell them. As we walked in the cafeteria and sat at our usual table. Lexi came over with the same news as Elizabeth. Lexi was our other High School Bestfriend. She moved back to Colorado after a graduation and I don't know we just became Distant.
Then came Kylie & Ashley telling us the same thing Lexi & Elizabeth told us. "Oh my gosh is y'all don't shut up about this nigga he ain't all that" I said. They all looked at me and a little after laughed "She ain't seen him yet" Skyler said. Kylie & Ashley was another one of our friends Kylie & Elizabeth were Bestfriend since 2nd Grade & we all in the 11th grade meanwhile Ashley was what they called the average Northie Girl. Mostly because she was from North Carolina and she didnt really have any friends but she seemed cool with everybody.
"Wassup Ky" Elizabeth said to Kylie "Hey Liz" she said and they did they lil weird ass handshake. "See there he go" Ashley said looking right at the door. I looked and muttered "Damn" i knew they was going to say something but they didn't we all just watched him sit down with a couple of friends. They all looked towards us and we had to pretend we was talking about something.
"Girl I took Mr.Clark last year too" Kylie said smiling trying to hold back her laughs. We all laughed and they came over here towards us. "Y'all got us into the shit y'all gotta deal with it yourselves" I say Me & Skyler grabbed our trays threw them in the trash and walked to a different table. "Did they just leave us" Lexi says looking at them in disbelief. Me & Skyler turn around and look at them "We surely enough did have fun" I say and turn back around.
Even though our backs were turned I heard every conversation they were having until the bell rang. Me and Skyler at to get to Biology class and then it was Science next after that me & skyler had study hall. After that it was only 1 period left of the day which was Spanish 2 which is so stupid. We all met up outside. "Man he got money y'all see what car he got" Lexi says looking at Erik's Mercedes Benz CLA. Now that's when Me & Skyler got offended "Nigga what car do I have & what car does Skyler have" I say and she looks at me.
"You have an Audi & Skyler has an BMW but that's not the point right now" she say And we laughed. We talked for a little longer and they looked at him 1 last time and he was talking to Alexus the fucking slut of the school "I know you lying" Kylie says. Elizabeth and them all just straight glared her. Alexus has slept with so many dudes I'm surprised that girl don't got an STD yet.
"Why don't that bitch got an STD" Ashley said & we all laughed. Her handy dandy sidekick Amira came out that's when he got in his car and pulled off. It was still a lot of kids outside so I knew she just wanted to pick on us when they started walking towards us. "This bitch I see y'all on the flip side" Ashley said walking towards her car. "Aww the little squad is leaving right before the fun happened" Alexus said. "Hey Nina" Amira said and I looked at them and turned back around cause I was not for the bullshit right now.
"I see y'all tomorrow Me & Liz gotta go" I said hugging Skyler, Air kissing Kylie & hugging Lexi "Damn where's my hug" Alexus said I looked at her I was so close to smacking her I didn't know what to do "Girl I'm not hugging you I might catch an STD" I said and walked off to my car. I heard them all laughing from a distance and walked away.
End Of FlashBack
I used to actually like highschool regardless of the fact that it was some shitty people in them I actually liked it. I texted Erik because I couldn't got to sleep at all.

As many times I tried to neglect my feelings for Erik after the breakup I couldn't. I thought about how much shit when been through and I really do love him. 20 minutes later he was knocking at the door and loud too.
I ran downstairs and unlocked the door "Why would you knock so heard knowing A. It's 4 o clock in the morning & B. My damn daughter is asleep upstairs." I say annoyed already & it ain't been 10 minutes. All he did was laugh "Can I come in it's cold in your hall way" he said. I let him and he sat on the couch "Why you sitting on the couch like you never been in a bed with me" I asked confused "I don't know where your bedroom is at" he said standing. I closed and locked the door. "Come on" I say we walked to my bedroom but I had to check on Destiny first "Hold on" I went to check on Destiny and she was sleep we made our way to my bedroom.
"Nina what happened to us" he asked I could tell it hurt him a little to ask the question. I move over to lay on his chest "I don't know" I said tracing he scars. "Can we fix it" and he had a little hope in hi voice when it said it. I looked up and kissed him "Of course".
