SELFISH •L.B•

Chapter Three

||Mariah||

Everybody had chosen to go to Applebee's. I didn't really care as long as I had something to eat. My phone lit up again, saying that I got a message from the group chat in school.

Dre 💛
iight, so Mari are you going with us to the fair tomorrow night?

Chris 🤞🏽
we gotta get our last hangout in before school.

These guys have been like family to me since freshman year when I met them. It's been Me, Chris, Will, Quan, Don, Andre, Iris, and a couple more. We were all about to be seniors this year too.

- yeah. I'll be there. Dre you gotta come get me though.

After that, I turned my phone off because our food had come. From the corner of my eye, I seen Ashley walk in with a couple of her friends and some boys. She was eyeing Melo, so I tilted my head like boo bitch.

Mariah- Is there a problem?

Everybody looked at me as she looked scared and looked at away hella quick.

Gelo- What was that?

They turned their heads to where I was look and saw Ashley. Melo wasn't even paying attention. I went back to eating, like five minutes later Melo thought it was okay to take some of my food.

Mariah- Umm. Nigga what?

Melo- You and I both know you ain't gone finish it. I'm not bouta let food waste.

Mariah- But did you have to take my fries?

Melo- Yup.

Folding my arms, I faced away from him. I was sitting at a table with Zo, Gelo, and Melo. The boys that Ashley was with were staring at me. I'd decided that I had to pee. I got up and headed to the bathroom.

After I was done, One of the guys that was looking at me was standing in front of me. He was tall as hell, Like taller than all three of the Ball boys.

?!- Wassup Lil mama?

Mariah- Not interested. Excuse me.

I tried to get around him but he was blocking my path.

?!- How old are you?

Mariah- Twelve, So goodbye.

?!- Why you lying shawty. You look at least sixteen. Lemme show you a good time.

Mariah- No thanks, I'm good. I have a boyfriend. Plus you look thirty.

?!- I'm only twenty one.

Looking at him like he was crazy, I tried to move a bit more forcefully but he yanked my arm and squeezed my wrist.

Mariah- Let me go nigga.

?!- Nah. You being real rude right now.

Giving him a stank face, I shoved my knee towards his balls and punched him in his jaw, which both caused him to let go of me and fall down.

?!- Did she just knock a grown man down?

I seen phones recording. Thankfully, nobody that I was with saw anything at all. Later we all had went home.

.............

I was on the couch minding my buisness. Tina and LaVar went to this hotel for the night to get away from us. Zo and Gelo were down here with a couple of their friends. Melo brought his too so we were having a big sleepover.

Right now they were being fools playing fortnite and 2k. Since Melo had his friends over, of course I was gonna get ignored. So my headphones were blasting Lucas Coly. Then my phone lit up from another group chat.

Hansen 😈

Ant 🐜

Nick 🐣

Hansen 😈

- first off, my head isn't even that big. and I'm at melos with his friends.

Jaren 🤪

Tomi 💪🏾

- frick you guys.

All these niggas decided to get on houseparty. So it was me, Narvin, Hansen, Tomi, Ant, Jaren, Nick, and Rich. I was the only girl so that was "great".

Hansen- Heyooooo. I haven't seen half of y'all niggers all summer.

Rich- Y'all remember Nick's end of school party in June?

Tomi- Hell Yeah. That's the last time we all hung out as a unit.

Jaren- Bruh Mari was going crazy. Especially when Yg came on.

Ant- My daughter a whole thug out here.

Mariah- Boy Bye. I ain't yo daughter. If anything you my son.

Rich- I don't care what y'all say, all y'all my children.

My phone had rung, saying that Narvin mentioned me and the rest of the us in his story. I seen everybody else in the room phone ding.

It's been hella long since Narvin posted. I clicked it and it showed hella memories from freshman year to the end of junior year. I really only hung out with these guys to be honest.

Oh lord. There's videos of me twerking. This nigga over here talking bout "@mariahh evolved over time 💀😭"

Gelo- Let's see what Narvin dumbass posted this time.

Mariah- Narvinnn. Why would you do thaaat? I'm bouta get my ass beat.

Narvin- You had to get exposed. Don't worry, all of was looking hurt.

During freshman year in one of our classes we had a substitute and she let us play music. So these girls had chosen Freak Hoe. I ended up twerking a lil bit and did a split when he said "split on the dick". The camera then zoomed in on Melo who had his mouth wide open.

Then sophomore year I was dancing to Rake it up at lunch. I was interrupted by Melo yanking me by my hair and pulling me away.

Eli hooked his phone up to the Tv and clicked his story. The first picture was Me, Narvin, Rich, Tomi, and Jaren. The caption was "OG Squad 🤟🏽". Then the video of me doing the splits. Oh nooo. "Ahhhhh 14 yr old @mariahh"

It had gotten to the part when I did the splits. Zo, Gelo, and the rest of their eyes went wide.

O- Woahhhh. I didn't know you were like this Mari.

Then another video, but this time it was Melo and I arguing. Well..I was yelling at him over something he did. I think I was about 5'0 then and he was already 5'9.

After a while the videos started being our group until he showed the last pictures with the caption "We really bouta be Seniors dawg"

Zo- I didn't know you were like this Mari. Care to explain yourself?

Mariah- No.
