chapter 5

"What the fuck do you mean, Brooke?"

"You tried to get with my mans. I have it here all on text."

The "text" read:

—
Bianca😶: Heyy

Me(Isaiah): Hey

Bianca😶: Meet me in the park at 10pm?💗

Me: I'm with Brooke.

Bianca😶: she doesn't have to know🤭

I yelled. "This is obviously fake. Are you that desperate to download some app and fake texts?"

"Sweetie, it's not fake. Just admit what you did."

"I didn't do shit."

Nyla interrupted. "What in the actual FUCK is going on?"

"Hi Ny. Your 'BFF' tried to get with Isaiah, MY boyfriend."

"Bullshit." She then grabbed the phone out of her hand.

"You really are fucking low."

I never thought I'd ever witness this happen, but Brooke grabbed Nyla's hair and pulled it. Like you can imagine, Nyla got pissed off and started beating the shit out of Brooke. However, before it could go any further, Mr. Brent, a Geometry teacher, intervened before it could go any further.

"You three, to the principal office. NOW."

-principal office-

"So, tell me again. Why would you fake a text Brooke?" Our principal, Mr. Johnson stammered, with his hand pressed against his forehead, confused and annoyed.

Brooke fake cried. "I-I've been bullied by those two for so long. I just wanted to expose them and let everybody know how utterly DESPICABLE these two were. She then started sobbing into her hands.

"If you're gonna use big girl words, Brooke, at least act like one." Nyla laughed.

"Enough." He pointed to Nyla. "There will be consequences for your actions. Nyla, you have Saturday detention for the rest of the month. However," he then turned to Brooke. "You're suspended until further notice. What you did is inexcusable."

"But sir-"

"Enough Brooke. What you did was messed up. Call your parents, ask them to pick you up. If they can't, we will have a deputy drive you home."

As soon as we left the room, Nyla and I hugged. "I'm so lucky to have you as a friend." I cried. "I don't know what I'd do without you." I sobbed.

-AP Poetry-

I avoided Isaiah intentionally the whole period.  Unfortunately, our seats were now assigned so I couldn't really move away from him.

"Valentina, can you write #66 on the board?"

I got up from my seat to write the answer on the board.

"Alright good, can anybody explain to me some examples of a Haiku?"

Instead, the class remained silent.

"Are y'all dead? I said what's an example of a Haiku?"

Nobody answered.

"Alright, go back to your seat."

I sat my ass down in the chair.

"I'm sorry." I turned to my side to see Isaiah biting down on his lip. "I never knew about her past or anything about that crazy hoe. I genuinely liked you though. I only really dated her cause she was cute and I wanted clout. Plus I wanted to make you jealous, but I regret that shit."

I continued to ignore him. That doesn't excuse why he's been a bitch to be for the past week, and why he laughed at me at the party.

"I need some time, Isaiah."

"Aight, just know I'm waiting for you though." He put his hand on my thigh. I instantly moved it.

"Seriously Isaiah. I need time. I'm not some hoe who bounces from guy to guy."

"I understand I guess."

-lunch-

"And then he was deadass like 'your ass fine though' like bitch what the f-" Kya was interrupted by Isaiah coming to our table. The girls instantly started verbally attacking him.

"Isaiah I told you to leave me alone for now."

"I wanna make it up to you though. Let's go to the drive in tonight. I'll pick you up at 7?"

"Bitch don't do it."

"Girl you deserve better."

"No."

"It wasn't his fault though."

"Tell him boy b-"

"Guys." I interrupted them all, and the table went quiet to hear my answer.

"One last chance, Isaiah. You'll drop me off at my home by 10."

Nyla added. "You're picking me up too boo. See you at 7." She then blew a sarcastic fake kiss."

"Aight, cya i guess." He then walked away.

"He's not going anywhere without me around, I'm not gonna have you get raped by that liar or sum."

-6:00-

"Dad, Mama can I please go?"

"On a school night? What the hell you staying out so late for huh? You gonna get pregnant?" My mom yelled.

"Nah, I'm just going to the drive in with Nyla and some boy." I immediately regretted telling the truth.

"Some boy? What boy? You have a boyfriend? You're only 16! I don't want you sneaking around!"

"Calm down, Mahalia." My father assured. " How has your grades been lately?"

"Perfect. All high A's."

"Mahalia. She's a good kid, she's smart too. As long as we know where she is and she's with Nyla, then I see no reason why she can't go. It's only till 10."

"Ok fine Luca. But she checks in every hour." And I'll be in touch with Nyla too." My mom relaxed.

-7:00-

"Wassup bitch?"

"Hey Ny. Where's Isaiah?"

"About that.. I have some news."
