Blast From the Past

HardHeaded

This morning I got my new classes for the new semester. I was glad to be out of that last class, and excited to start my new one. I walked in and grabbed a seat all the way in the back, and just chilled until the class started. My enthusiasm slowly disappeared as two of the people I hate the most walked into the class. I slide down in my seat a little and prayed they didn't see me. "Well looky here. Isn't it my favorite person in the whole school." Orlando said sitting in the empty desk on my right. "Our favorite person Lando." Jerome chorused taking the free seat on my left. "I hope you chose your seats wisely. They're permanent for the entire semester, unless of course I feel like there needs to be a change." The teacher said writing down the lesson for today on the board. "Fuck!" I muttered under my breath. I laid my head on my desk. God kill me now. I lifted my head up and tried to pay attention to what the teacher was writing. "So you went to that rival school party Friday night huh." Orlando started. "Heard you got into some kinky shit." Jerome finished. "Like letting guys grope on your breast. Shame. Wonder what Adrian must think. I would've asked him, but he was no where to be seen this morning. Maybe he already heard and he's ditching school to avoid you even more." Orlando added. "Serenity ain't here today either. Maybe they at his house making another baby while they son sleeping peacefully." Jerome laughed. "First of all I didn't let anyone touch me. Stop making up shit all the time. It's really ridiculous," I informed them. I tried to keep my voice down, so I wouldn't get in trouble. "I'm just acting on what I heard bitch." Jerome stated. "Not a bitch," I interjected. "You really are." Orlando said. "I'm really not," I said in a stern voice. "Oh, are you getting upset? Have you heard about your best friend? I heard he be dealing drugs on the side to pay for that rich boy ride he got all pimped out." Jerome taunted. "Okay, and if he do why are you so worried?" I asked getting irritated. "Does anybody go around talking about you? No. Why? Because you're a nobody," I announced. "They don't talk about me because I don't go around fucking random people and I'm single so ain't nobody cheating on me." He retorted. Orlando laughed. "Jerome you a fucking idiot." He told him. "I'm just going to ignore you two," I said rolling my eyes. I pulled out a notebook and started drawing to take my mind off of them. "You always state what you're going to do like someone gives a fuck. Shut yo stupid ass up." Orlando stated laughing..This is going to be the worst semester ever. I got up and threw something in the trash just to get away from them. When I got back to my seat they didn't bother me until it was time to go. When I was getting up to leave Orlando tripped me and all my stuff flew out of my hands. "Why you do that," I snapped as I picked up my stuff. "Do what?" He asked walking out laughing with the others. "Dumb ass!" I muttered as I walked out shortly after them.

After I got out of that class, I headed straight to gym. I was the first one there so I ran into the locker room and quickly changed my clothes. Shortly after people started piling into the locker room. I headed into the gym after locking my stuff into a locker. When I got into the gym the guys were already in there shooting basketball. "My baby!" Paul exclaimed. I laughed. "Hey Paul!" I exclaimed with a smile. Then he looked around frantically. "Don't be alarmed. Adrian not in here." Javier laughed. "But I wouldn't call her that around all these people the way rumors spread." He added. "Where is Adrian anyway? Has anyone heard from him?" Will asked. "Javi is right though Paul. You should listen to him," I advised ignoring Will's question. I sat on the floor where I was standing and started stretching before class. "Yea, okay. I should." Paul agreed. "Looky looky. It's Angel and her boys. Which one of y'all heard about her wild night this weekend?" Orlando walked over asking. "None of you? Let me tell you-" he started but Will cut him off. "We don't need to hear anything from you. Nothing you say about her will be true. Goodbye." He said to him. "Who asked you white boy? Shut the fuck up prick. Don't need no fucking lawyer ass kid telling me what to do and determine if what I say is true or not." Orlando bellowed. "Man just back off. Go back to your friends and leave her alone. Fuck she do to you?" Zack spoke up out of the blue. "Now your ass wanna speak? You shut up too mutt ass boy." Orlando spat. "But I'm going though. Don't want her little guard dog to bark." He said walking away laughing. "I don't have a body guard dumb ass!" I yelled. "I hate him!" I added. "I just ignore him." Javier sighed. "You guys should try it. Gets him to go away quicker." he added picking up a ball. "I try all the time!" I exclaimed. "It doesn't work," I assured him. I ran over, took the ball out his hand, and shot it. It bounced around the rim a little bit then went in. "Yay!" I cheered then ran over and retrieved the ball. "You are adorable. Now let me school you." Javi commented taking the ball out of hand and running to the goal and dunking it. "That wasn't cool Javi." Paul stated. "Paul shut up. You just mad cause you can't do it." Javi laughed. I just looked at him. "Explain how I'm going to do that," I giggled. "I'm not even 5 foot tall," I added."You're not going to do it." Javi laughed. "Paul just mad he can't do it." He stated passing the ball to Will. "Watch this flawless ass shot." Will stated from the three point line. "Nothing but net baby!" Will exclaimed. "Everybody spread out across the floor!" The coach yelled as he entered the gym. A lot of people scattered to find their own personal area, but we pretty much stayed around each other. We started doing our stretches as coach called them out. "Well, well. If it isn't Mr. Diaz." Coach said when Adrian ran in and stood next to Javi. "Might you explain why you're late?" Coach asked him. "I'd like to talk in private about it sir." Adrian said. "You walked in here publicly tell me why you're late boy. Class needs to go on." Coach said to him. "I was with my mom. She's in the hospital. I lost track of time. I'm sorry. I'll try not to let it happen again." Adrian explained. "I'm sorry to hear that. Don't worry about being late. I'll unmark you as absent and tell your other teachers about the situation your facing." Coach apologized. Adrian just gave him a confused look and motioned for him to continue with class.
