He was Hot, I was Not!

(Shortly afterwards)

"Juelz, I am so mad at you! You've been holding back on me!"

"Shandra, what did I do?" Juelz asked looking puzzled.

"When you called me last night you forgot to tell me something kind of important. Didn't you?" she challenged.

"No baby, I wouldn't do that. I shouldn't have even told you what I did! Why? Please tell me that you didn't tell Kayla what I told you Stan said?"

"No, but I should have cuz he ain't doin' it! But no, Ima leave it alone cuz I think they're on the right track to finding each other, but damn they're slow. But don't be changing the subject on me Juelz! Why didn't you tell me that Kayla lost her virginity to Stan?"

"Who told you that?" asked Juelz looking surprised.

"Duh, Kayla did."

"Baby don't be mad, the only reason I didn't tell you is cuz it wasn't my business to tell. You know how guys make up shit, and I didn't want to be spreading gossip if it wasn't true. I didn't know if Stan was BSing or not," he explained as he looked at her knowingly.

Shaundra had a secret that no one knew besides Juelz. Kenny had drugged her and had tried to rape her. He would have succeeded if someone hadn't come along and stopped him; since she was under the influence she couldn't remember all of the details. Afterwards she had confronted Kenny who had ridiculed her and told her to prove it; which she couldn't.

It had took her a long time to trust Juelz when he had first expressed an interest in her. At first she had blew him off, thinking that he was just another jock who would take what he wanted when she didn't give it to him. But time, and his persistance, had proven her wrong. Juelz was so much more than a jock with a pretty face. He was her best friend, her lover, her confidante...and he always had her back.

When she had confided to Juelz about what Kenny had done, he had wanted to kick his ass, but she wouldn't let him. She had calmed him down and told him that they had to do it right--to keep Kenny from doing it to anyone else. They had to wait until the time was right, and when it was, Kenny's whole world was going to come tumbling down.

"So it's true?" Juelz asked. "Stan and Kayla got busy?"

"Well, according to Kayla it is, and good girls like Kayla don't make up shit like that."

"So did Stan tell her he loves her?"

"Hell no! He told her to go out with Kenny."

"Why the fuck would he do that?"

"Cuz he's fucking stupid, that's why. Kayla told him she loves him and he doesn't think she knows what love is, so he told her to date other guys. Since Kenny has been asking her out she's going out with him hoping Stan will realize that he cares about her when he sees them together."

"Oh geez, what a mess. Stan loves Kayla but won't tell her, Kayla told Stan she loves him, but he doesn't believe her. Man somebody needs to help them out."

"Yeah, they're lucky they have us," Shaundra agreed. "Man, I hate that snake Kenny, I really wish Kayla wouldn't go out with him!"

"Well it's not like she likes him," Juelz agreed, "but I know what you mean. He deserves to get his after what he tried to do to you, and I'd like to be the one to give it to him. That's why we have to keep an eye on Kayla--to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to her"

"Word," Shaundra agreed. "So, are we still on for Paris' party?"

"Hmm, I dunno," Juelz kidded. "What am I gonna get out of it?"

"The pleasure of my company," Shaundra teased hitting him playfully.

Kayla's POV

"So," Kenny asked as he followed Kayla to her locker, "Have you decided? Will you go to Paris' party with me Saturday night?"

Kayla waited for June to move out of the way so she could get in her locker. Lunch was next, and gym after that so she wouldn't need anything right now, she calculated as she put her books in the locker.

"Yes Kenny," she said as she stood up, "I will go to Paris party with you."

"Great! I'll call you later and we can finalize our plans."

"Fine," she said as she walked off.

"So you're taking Ms. Goody 2 shoes to the party, huh?"

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Kenny asked June.

"Oh nothing, she just doesn't seem like your usual type." she replied.

"Hmmph, maybe because she isn't," Kenny grinned wickedly, "I've never been with a virgin and I thought it would be kind of cool to beat it, that's all."

"Ha, alright Michael Jackson, guess you didn't hear the latest news, huh?"

"What news?"

"From what I hear, Stan did a Lil Wayne on her ass, he beat that pussy red and orange?"

"It's "beat that pink pussy orange-red" you lying bitch!

"Whatever..." June rolled her eyes.

"You're just jealous because Kayla is hot. Everybody knows that you want Stan for yourself. Everybody but Matt, and I should tell him."

June shrugged carelessly.

"Tell him, I don't care, eventually I'm gonna dump him anyway. Yeah, you're right, I do want Stan. That said, think about it Kenny, why would I tell you that he's fucking Kayla if it weren't true? Lord knows I don't like the idea, it makes me sick to my stomach thinking about it, but it's true. So what are WE gonna do about it?"
