Persistent (Chris Brown x Zendaya)

Chapter 13: Giving You Hell

Jameer looked like he was still tryna figure out what had just happened. "I know you thinking but why ya face gotta look like that"

"Cause I'm still balls deep in thought about this bitch calling us bad friends"

"Facts. Shawty just gave me a headache" Zendaya said as she walked over to the boys basketball team "Eli what tf was that??"

"I don't know. I will say that they did leave together after extracurricular activities was done yesterday"

"Meer why didn't you take her home??" Zendaya looked back at him

"Cause I stayed late coordinating with the coach and that bitch don't give me gas money. Oh and now that I remember Yas tried out for the team yesterday "

"What team???" Zendaya said through clenched teeth

"Your team"

"Babe calm down" Melo pulled her back to him by her belt loops

"What do you mean calm down! We had a deal.. I destroyed her at the pep rally which means she stays out of my gym"

"That's gonna always be your team baby girl. Take it easy" he rubbed small circles on her hip. Zendaya seen her coach coming down the hall and went to approach her

"Coleman, Ball you're going to regular class today no ISS. Stay outta trouble" she said before zendaya could start talking

"Coach why was Yas allowed to tryout?? We had a deal I beat her fair in square. Not only is she hot garbage she's a dirty player. I'll look like some weak bit-girl if I let her step foot on my court"

"Yes I remember the bet. I'm sure the whole school remembers it but you know we have a new principal and I'm not allowed to keep her from trying out. I wasn't gonna put her on the team but since he knows all about the deal I have no choice or I lose my job"

Zendaya sighed "I'm sorry coach I'm not trying to make this hard on you"

"Just cause I put her on the team doesn't mean I have to let her play. She can warm the bench all season" she patted Zendaya shoulder then walked around her "Oh yeah see you at the second day of tryouts"

Zendaya went to walk towards the bathroom but Melo stopped her "where you going??"

"To the bathroom"

"Nah come on . Don't go in there, they just let us out of ISS and you wanna go in there breaking skulls"

"And is" she shrugged

"And not. Take yo ass to class. Matter facts let's go ima walk with you"

"Chill I got her. I need to talk to her" Melo nodded before letting her go

"So wassup??" Zendaya locked arms with Meer

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. You don't wanna be with Melo Z" he shook his head "not only do you need to be honest with him, you need to be honest with yourself"

"I'm am being honest"

"Wrong! You being cautious. Melo is the safe choice and on top of that you scared to hurt him because of how long y'all been together. Just cause you love him doesn't mean you have to be with him. You love him but can you still say you're IN LOVE with him? Be honest"

"No. I'm not in love with him anymore but maybe we could get that back"

"Baby you holding your relationship up by a thread. It's time to let go. This ain't gonna do shit but leave all three of y'all hurt"

Zendaya looked up at Meer "three??"

"Chris plays a big part in what's happening right now and by the end of the night you might just lose him out your life. That scene in the hallway will end up on the internet and with what you said I don't think that's gonna be easily forgiven by Chris"
