Dilatory

The next day at school. I went to my locker and put my helmet inside. I sighed and looked over. The girls in a group talking to one another.

I closed my locker and Kevin was there. "Shit!" I yelled. "You scared the crap out of me Kevin. Damn." I walked away from my locker. "Mags?" He says following me.

I turned. "You're a real asshole you know that!" I said walking up to his face. His hands were up in defense. "Whoa. What the fuck I do now?"

"Tyler! I'm talking about Tyler!" I blurted. "That bitch nigga. Mags I don't want you talking to him." He said.

"I don't understand why!?" I yelled. "He's a piece of shit. He will use you to take advantage of you then he will do you like Tatiana and the other girls." He murmured to her face, grabbing my shoulders and pushing me to the wall slamming my back.

I froze. "I'm sorry Mags. I didn't mean too." He released me. I pushed him away from me.

"You mean, the way you took advantage of me!? And how you pretend how the shit is okay. But look, open your eyes. I'm not okay. I wanna be happy, but I can't because you took that away from me." I sobbed. I walked away.

I didn't go to class that day. I honestly don't want to talk to anyone...

Dismissal hit. I walked my bike home. I didn't want to go home.

My mind roamed, my headache in agony.

There was no way of getting this out of my thoughts. I went in my room and plopped on my bed, sighing. I closed my eyes. It was quiet. Leyal and mom went shopping for the baby. Dad was nowhere to be found.

It was the middle of the night. I woke up from the sound a tapping sound from the window. I got up and paused, waiting till I got up and checked it out.

I went to the window, Tyler? I opened my window. He raised his hands up and waved. "Magan, I'm sorry. I rushed you to do something you weren't ready." He said. I closed my window and went downstairs. I peaked at mom's room, Asleep.

I snuck out and closed the door quietly. "It's not your fault Tyler." I paused. "I can't have sex with you for a reason. You have a girlfriend that you dumped to get with me and, I would think that if you see someone else then you would do that to me too." I said walking up to him. He did know what to say. I didn't know what else to say. I thought.

I hugged him from his waist. "Tyler, I do like you but. I don't wanna get hurt by you or any other guy." I look in his eyes.

The level of disappointment covered the happiness in his face. He sucked his teeth and pushed me away.

"Why did you come down." He blurted. "Why you hugged me if you're not into me?" He added walking away. I stood there like an idiot right now. He went in his truck. I followed. He didn't look at me.

"I waste my time trying to get your attention for weeks. Psh." He starts his car. "Tyler, I'm sorry," I said. Without words, he took off.

That night went to weeks ago. Leyal was three months pregnant. Mom decides to work overnight and stay in the day. She barely is home now. I have seen Tyler since the night I rejected him. Kevin stays nights over at times to spend time with Leyal.

The dismissal came and I walked out the school doors. Everyone was screaming. "Fight!" Someone yelled as the ran. The crowd grew. Who's fighting? I asked myself.

I jogged to see. Tyler's truck was parked in the school's driveway.

I shoved people out the way, I paused. "Tyler stop!"
