Southern High

A Month Later

It's been a month later since everything has happened. We've moved out of our old neighborhood, because my mom felt as if I wasn't safe there than neither was the rest of us. Since the whole incident I beg,plead and cried for Raheem and Kameron to get out of the game. Eventually they did and it made me happy, But there are things I can't forget, I would have nightmares where I would sleep mostly with my mother,my brother and even Malay. Malay mother found out that she was pregnant and kicked her out and now she lives with us. This time when we moved my mother made sure that our house have gates and pass code to come inside.

Besides everything else with home, Sadly I'm no longer attending school, But instead I'm taking my classes online because I don't feel safe around any and everyone and considering with what happen my mother talked to the principal and they accepted her plead for me to take my classes online after all I am a senior. I spend most of my time in my room doing homework,reading or listening to music. My mother comes and check on me when ever she's home, Just like her, everyone else wants me to get out of the house, But they also have to understand its my decision to do what I wa-.

My thoughts were interrupted by a knocking at my room door. "Come in" I said while waiting for the intruder to show their face.

Smiling I see that it's just Malay and her little baby bump. She told Nigel about everything he got upset at first but eventually calmed down and forgave her and they've moved forward. Although the baby still might not be his it don't seem to phase him.

Malay walked in my room and set on my bed. "Hey baby, Missed me today" she asked hopefully, I did miss her but I wasn't about to admit that to her.

Smiling I thought other wise and just tell her the truth "Now that you mention it I did" I exclaimed now watching her smile reach her eyes. Now that made me happy.

"So how are you and Teetee's baby doing" She asked. After the incident with the prick I eventually found out I am pregnant, But what can I do, I don't believe in abortions and there's no way I'm giving my baby up, no matter how he/she was conceive. But everyone has that fantasy of having a baby with someone they love dearly, and I definitely wouldn't say that my baby was a mistake, Babies are gifts and that's what my baby is a gift.

"Good, but could be better if Raheem would pick up his phone" Ever since what happened I admit that I was pushing everyone away and it wasn't fair. I felt as if it was something I would like to cope with on my own and eventually I did.

"Now that you mention him, I didn't really saw him at school today, but Nigel wanted me to remind you that he's coming over later, so you can hook him up" Malay isn't so good at braiding, but don't get me wrong she loves to do hair, just not braiding. So I took it upon myself to braid Nigel's hair,since he refuse to go to a salon. Something about he don't trust any and everybody hands in his nice,long sexy hair as he described it. Being that his mother is from Honduras he got that nice hair and don't want to cut it at all.

"OK, I'll be ready" My mind quickly ran over Rah, where the hell could he be.

"I guess I'm going to go fresh up, before Nigel gets here" Malay said, standing up from my bed as soon as she reached for the door knob. Someone from the other side had already open the door. I couldn't see the person but from the side of Malay face I can see that she was smiling. "Good thing I got up to go" and with that being said she fled out of my room.

The person stepped in and I was greeted with Raheem Aden Jackson. "Where have you been, I was trying to call you and I never got a answer" I was partly upset.

"I was busy, chill I'm here ain't I" I don't know who pissed in his mouth or some shit, but he needs to chill.

Coming over and sitting on my bed, Raheem pecked my lips than layed down. As soon as he moved that sent fly right through my nostrils. This boy is night serious.

I stood up and move away from him. "Raheem why do you smell like weed" he knew better than coming around me smelling like that. I hate the smell of weed and cigarettes they all just smell bad and isn't good for you. I also hate alcohol.

Sitting up Raheem looked at me like he don't know what I'm talking about. "Man, what you talking about" really he wanna play this game.

"I don't know Rah the fact that your ass smell like weed and you have no idea what I'm talking about. either you take your ass in my bathroom and bathe and brush your teeth. Cause your mouth smell like it too or you can take the easy way and leave" I responded while holding the door up for him.

This ignorant asshole. I thought while looking at him get up and closed the door now standing in the front of me with a pissed off expression. The smell wasn't doing my insides any good either.

"Rah, please, your making me feel sick" I pleaded with him to move but he didn't even budge. Rah phone started ringing and when I looked over at it on my bed it was a picture of a girl, a beautiful girl at that. Squinting my eyes I looked at her name and it said Kailey.

he better not answer that phone. But he answered it like I'm not right here. "Hello...Nah wassup...We could chill tomorrow...ight see you than bye ma'' and he hung up. I don't know if I should be mad at the fact that he answered her phone call and not mine or the fact that I'm right here and he was smiling up with her on his phone. I guess I'll be mad at both, without thinking I snatched his phone and threw at the wall. Watching the iPhone screen crack right up.

''Zoila what the fuck is your problem''. Did he just ask me that or I'm tripping.

''You,your my problem Raheem, I'm right here in your face and you over there on your phone smiling with a girl name Kailey. When I called you, you couldn't answer your phone, but as soon as she call you answered it. I asked you to go and take a bathe Raheem and you didn't do it. I don't know who pissed you off before you got here but let me tell your stupid ass something if were going to be a couple, DONT ever take your anger out on me if I wasn't the cause of it. From the beginning when your ass step foot in here you had a fucking problem, fix that shit Rah because I don't have the time to suck up under you to be screamed at. Get it together either you go and bathe or get the fuck out and choose wisely because if you go there won't be any coming back. Trust me I'm serious''. With that being said I slammed my room door and walked over to Malay room where Rozal was asleep on the bed.

''Hey, you okay I heard y'all screaming and it didn't sound good. What's up''. Malay asked with concern written all over her face.

''Nó se, I took his phone and slam it into my room wall. Damn pendejo". I said while playing with Rozal hair she looks so much like her daddy. With her pink full lips and curly hair.

''Go back and talk to him I'm going to be in the theatre room with Nigel until your done''.

"No, I don't want to he pissed me off". Now pouting so she'll leave me alone. Then she grabbed my arm pushing me out of her room.

"Ve perra, be good. All the screaming isn't good for the baby". With that I was in the front of my room door. Opening my door I saw Rah in a towel with water dripping off of him going through my drawers.

"The left side to the bottom, that's where you should find something". Scaring him much, making me giggle at how he jumped.

"Baby, I'm sorry, I just was cranky all day today. I didn't mean to disrespect you like that". Rolling my eyes I made my way over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Mi Amor, it's okay just don't do that shit again and sorry for your phone. Now put on some clothes I have to do Nigel ha-". I was cut off by Rah kissing me, at first I didn't give in but eventually I did. I missed him.

After our little make out session, we joined Malay,Nigel,Kameron,Nicole and Rozal in the theatre room where the lion king was playing I guess for Rozal. I hugged Nigel and Nicole, than got to work on Nigel hair.
