Stan watched Kayla walk off with Shaundra. What the heck could her and Charlene have to fight about? He looked at Charlene still breathing hard from the fight.
"What were you guys fighting about?"
Charlene looked angry as she looked at him and mindful of the audience of his friends lingering around them the next thing she said was loud enough for them to hear.
"Kayla said that she's fucking you. Is that true?"
Stan could feel himself getting red from anger and embarrassment. He had told Matt and Juelz that he was sleeping with Kayla, so he didn't mind that they heard what Charlene said, but he could feel other people's eyes on him and it was none of their damn business.
"What's it to you?" he asked Charlene. "I don't have to explain myself to anyone. Who I'm boning is no one's business but mine and theirs."
June looked at Kenny as if to say, "I told you so."
"That's bullshit Stan! You hung me out to dry. Kayla blindsided me with that information. I didn't know you two were an item, and then she jumps on me because she overhead me telling you I would go out with you. I think you do owe me some sort of explanation."
"You're full of it Charlene," Juelz spoke up. "You know damn well you put Kayla on blast telling her you were going out Stan.
"She did?" Stan asked as he looked at Juelz.
Charlene gasped.
"How do you know that?"
"Doesn't matter how I know. You did it didn't you?" Juelz said not waiting for her to answer. "You set Kayla up knowing that she was in love with Stan, didn't you? You're a bitch Charlene."
"Bullshit," Kenny said. "She's not in love with Stan. She's going out with me. But I kind of want to know the answer to that myself, Stan. Are you tapping that ass? Did you break the code?"
Stan looked at Juelz surprised by his words, wondering how he knew Kayla thought she was in love with him. No wonder Kayla had asked him if he was going out with Charlene. He really felt like shit now...after the way he had treated her. He'd have to talk to Juelz later, but for now...
"Fuck that code! It's stupid anyway. Anyway, it seems like you only go by the code when you want to if you're taking Kayla out. Listen,if you want to go out with Kayla, I can't stop you. We are NOT an item," he told Kenny "But I'm not telling you, or you (he looked at Charlene)shit. Now are we going to that damn party Saturday or not?
Juelz was shocked, Stan still wanted to take Charlene to the party after what he knew. He shook his head in disgust.
Charlene was pissed because he had avoided answering her question, but she knew the answer anyway, and it looked like his friends did too.
"Yeah, I'll go with you. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Good, I'll call you," Stan said as he walked off.
"I knew he was fucking her!" June said as she watched Stan leave.
"Big deal, everybody's fucking somebody." Matt said bored with the subject.
June looked at Kenny and made a call me sign with her hand.
Matt didn't notice, but Juelz and Charlene did.
Kayla's POV:
"Girl, what the hell has got into you," Shaundra asked Kayla.
"What do you mean?" Kayla asked as she eyed herself in the mirror.
"Fighting? Kayla Jackson I've known you for a long time and you have never fought anyone. What gives?"
"That bitch had it coming," Kayla said defensively.
"Psst," Shaundra scoffed at that, "no doubt. But why now?"
"She was showing her ass, bragging about her date with Stan. It's been a long day, and I wasn't in the mood for her shit. Anyway, she hit me first. I don't feel good, I'm going home."
"Did she hurt you? Should I go with you?"
"No, it's not that. I just don't feel good. I just want to be alone for a while, but thanks for offering."
"What gives Kayla?"
Kayla sighed.
"I haven't had my period."
"So?"
Kayla looked at Shaundra meaningfully not wanting to say it out loud.
A look of understanding came over Shaundra's face, then a look of outrage.
"Kayla Jackson! Don't tell me that you let Stan hit it raw!"
Kayla winced but didn't answer.
"WTF were you thinking, Kayla? I assume you weren't on the pill since Stan was your first? Even if you weren't on the pill you could catch something. Don't you know how many diseases are out there? Didn't you learn anything in Sex Ed? How could you Kayla?"
"Well, we didn't exactly plan for it to happen, it just did." Kayla sighed. "In retrospect, I know it was stupid, but it's too late to think about that now. What am I gonna do Shaundra?"
"Did you say anything to Stan?"
"NO, and you won't either! You'd better not tell anybody! I mean it Shaundra, if you betray me about this we are done as friends!"
"I won't say anything, I promise. How late are you?"
"Not long really, a couple of days, but I'm always regular."
"It might be the stress you've been under. It could be the changes to your body after you lost your virginity...the blood you lost. It could be a lot of things; but I agree, it's too soon to know for sure. You say you don't feel good, maybe you're getting ready to start. Go home and get some rest, I'll call and check on you later."
"Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna do that."
