The Banjaree Twins

BENNIE:

I wake up in the nurse's office and sigh. My headache was gone. Good. I get a pass and go to class. When I get there I see two people standing in front of the class. They both look at me and my eyes get wide.

Me: Oh no.

Titan: Sup Ben. Haven't seen you in a while. How you been holding up?

Me: I was doing fine until I saw you. Mrs. Brent why are they here?

Mrs. Brent: Theyre our new students. Everyone this is Tate and Titan.

All the girls: Hi.

Titan: I like this school already.

I go to my seat and Tate sits beside me. I look at him and shake my head.

Me: Man my girl sits there.

Tate: I kinda figured someone sat here. She told me that she would move them.

I sigh and put my hands in my hair. First I get a concusion and now the terrible twos are here. My aunt just had to pick my school. Then NJ comes in. She looks at me. I raise my hand and Mrs. Brent excuses me. I grab NJ's hand and pull her out.

NJ: Who is that in my seat?

Me: My cousin. Him and his brother are new. Mrs. Brent moved him there. I'm so sorry baby.

NJ: Its okay. I'm fine. I told myself no cutting or killing.

I peck her lips and she smiles. We go back inside and Mrs. Brent looks at NJ. She looks at the clock.

Mrs. Brent: Youre late as usual, Natasha.

She looks at me and I point my finger at her. Notifying that I had my eyes on her. She rolls her eyes.

NJ: Well if you weren't such a prick then.....

She stops herself and takes a deep breathe. Then she exhales slowly and opens her eyes.

Mr. Brent: Go sit beside out new student Titan please.

Titan looks at me and smirks. I know he was about to test me. He doesn't know who NJ is yet. I smile to myself and shake my head. I wanna see how this turns out.

Tate: Is that Natasha Banks? She is like so cool.

Me: Yeah. She's my girlfriend.

Tate: No way?

Me: Yeah. I know ya bro is gonna try something.

Tate: He always does. Don't worry. She'll snap him in half.

Me: Thats what I'm worried about.

We laugh. Then DJ comes in. The bumps me desk and I look at him.

Me: Excuse you bitch.

DJ: Youre excused nigga.

Mrs. Brent: There is no need for that laguage on my classroom.

Me: Oh I didn't know you bought this class room. You were assigned to it. You don't own it.

Mrs. Brent: Thats it Mr. Harris. Detention this afternoon. I'll make sure Coach Hex hears about your attitude.

Me: Wait wait wait. Hold the hell up. Didn't I save yo ass Tom getting fired last week.

Mrs. Brent sighs and balls up the paper. I smile and lean back. Tate nods.

Tate: Nice.

Me: Yeah.

DJ mumbles something. I turn to look at him and he looks at me.
