Not Just a Rebound

• No Parents

I walked into class and sat down all the way in the back in my usual seat. I was early so it was pretty much empty except for the 'nerds'. I pulled out my phone and looked at it, someone wrote me on snapchat so I clicked on it.

Trill Boy - Hey

I clicked on his name. I don't know him so how did he get my snap? I just deleted the conversation and locked my phone again. I don't have time to talk to new people, I don't need new friends. I put my phone in between my thighs and opened up my notebook. Most of the class was here by now so the teacher started teaching.

"Ahja"

I ignored him.

"Ahja"

I looked to my left "What do you want from my life little boy?"

"Just cause I'm short doesn't mean everything else is" he winked.

I rolled my eyes and ignored him for the rest of the period. I basically ran out the class when that bell rang. Keshaun has been annoying me ever since he got to this school. I mean he's cute and whatever but he's just too annoying for me. I started walking to my next class slowly I'm in no rush to get to U.S History but like who would be? Sitting there listening to an old man speak about other old men puts me and everyone else in that class to sleep. I finally got to the class and waited outside the door for Justina, she was walking down the hall jamming to something. When she finally got to me she took her headphone out

"Hey baby girl"

"Hey"

We walked in and she sat down in her seat. I walked across the room and sat in my seat. Gregory walked in and sat in his seat next to me.

"Hey Jhené"

"Why do you always call me that?"

"Cause every lame calls you Ahja"

"So Ace ( Christian) is a lame?"

"Of course"

"Tini (Justina) too?"

(Tini sounds like Tee-knee)

"Oh definitely, she's the queen of all lames"

"And you must be the king right?" I smirked

"Why you always starting with me girl?"

I raised my eyebrow "Me? You're always starting with me"

"That's not true"

"It's very much true"

I shook my head "If you say so"

Mr. Rodgers started talking.

"You guys will have to work on a 5 part activity about the Environmental Justice movement for your final project.."

He's bugged out, we only have two weeks left of school. I tuned him out and put my head down. I felt my phone vibrating in my bag by my foot but ignored it. It kept vibrating so I reached down in my bag. I shuffled around till I found it and pulled it out. Why is my dad calling me in class? I raised my hand and asked to go to the bathroom an when he said yea I grabbed the pass. I walked out and called him back.

"Daddy what happened? Are you okay?"

"Yea sweetheart i'm good. I just wanted to tell you that me and Micah have to go to San Francisco for a few days"

"What why?" I said getting mad.

"Her dad is sick so she wants to be with him"

"Then why do you need to go?"
