Fighting For Love

Chapter 5

Landon walked up to his locker and dapped up his boys that were standing there. They were talking about something but he wasn’t paying attention as he reached in his locker for his English homework that was until he heard them mention her name. He tuned in as they talked about the new girl Niamha.

“Mami is one bad thang.” His best friend Justin said, getting several agreements from everyone standing around him.

“You ain’t lied about that one brother, especially with that ass. Do you see how when she stops moving it still moves?” Gavin chimed in.

Landon couldn’t stand there and here them talk about her like that. So he decided to say something, “Now all ya’ll besides Michael have no right to be commenting that girls ass or any other part of her body for that matter,” he looked at each of his boys in the face before continuing, “if I was just a bad friend I would tell your girlfriends whom are currently walking this way.” They all turned and watched as the ladies approached us. Each of the girls walked towards their boyfriend and gave them loving kisses and stood there hugging them. Landon felt a pain in his heart as he looked around and then finally looking at Niamha and seeing this longing in her eyes before her face went blank. He was about to say something when he felt a pair of arms snake their way around his waist and the familiar scent of apples came wafting into his noise, before a pair of warm lips press against his neck. He looked at Niamha one last time and saw that she was looking dead at him, her expression unreadable. Charlotte came to stand in front of him and planted a big juicy kiss on his lips. He was about to pull away when he, she deepened the kiss and he got sucked in by the feel of her tongue intertwined with his.

Niamha watched as he made out with his girlfriend right in her face. She didn’t know what was more embarrassing watching it or the fact that everyone else was doing the same and her being the only one left. Well at least that’s what she thought before she saw this dude looking just as uncomfortable as she was. She decided to leave the group and head to class because she still had to stop by her locker to pick up some things for her first couple of periods. She quickly moved around the group and headed to her locker. When she got there she paused to get her emotions in check. ‘You enjoy being single, remember? The ability to do whatever.’ She mentally reminded herself. She opened her locker and took a look in the mirror she had hanging on the door she made sure her outfit was still on point. She grabbed the things she needed and closed it.

“Hey, there,” Called a gentle smooth voice behind her. She turned to see a big buff looking kid with nice chocolate skin and a temp-fade. You could tell that he played sports for some years and that the sports and working out had been nice to him. He kind of reminded me of Lil Scrappy in a way, especially with the tattoo sleeve he sported in his red muscle shirt, black basketball shorts, red white and black Jordan AJ 2012. He was fine with emphasis on the FINE!! “Niamha, right?” he looked kind of nervous in a cute way.

“Yes.”

“Hi. I’m Michael,” he stuck out his hand.

She shook his hand while replying, “Hi. Michael.” She smiled at him causing on in return and it revealed a pretty smile with straight teeth and braces.

There was an awkward silence that surrounded them as they stood there looking at anything besides on another. Michael was about to say something but then the warning bell rang and neither one of them could afford to be late to class.

“We should probably get to class.” Niamha suggested.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

“Talk to you later Michael.”

“See ya.” Michael watched her walk down the hallway and round the corner, before sprinting down the hallway and into class.
