I'm Yours (Original)

First Day (Part 3)

Cori POV

I pulled out my phone and looked at the clock. Its 12:45, my mom said she would be here at 1. Great. I’m ready to go home so D can come over. I miss my baby. I was daydreaming when the bell rang.

“Do we have any homework? I wasn’t listening.” I asked Danielle.

“Yeah, she said to watch a show in Spanish and explain what happened. You need to type it and email it to her and attach the name of the show and the episode.” Danielle said handing me my backpack.

“Thanks.” I said putting it on.

“No problem.”

“You know, for a girl who happens to be the principles daughter, you’re pretty cool.” I said walking out of the door. Danni was walking next to me.

“Thanks. And you’re not a brat like I thought you would be.” She said. We stopped walking at her locker which wasn’t too far from mine.

“What did you expect me to act like?” I asked.

“Like a bitch, a little snobby, I expected you to go around calling people peasants and shit.” Danielle said laughing. I laughed too.

“I would, but my mom would fight me.” I said.

“You fight your mom?” She asked putting her book in her locker.

“Well, she fights me. If I hit her she would kill me. But it’s not like abuse or anything.” I said trying to make it clear.

“I understand. My mom and I do the same thing.” Danielle said. She grabbed a bad that had workout clothes in it and closed her locker. I noticed that the hall had gone quiet but you could hear people whispering. “Speaking of moms.” Danielle said looking around me. I turned my head and sure enough it was my mom. I heard a couple guys whistle as she was walking and everyone else was just staring at her. When she got to me she sighed. I looked around and people were still looking.

“Can I help you?” I asked to the silent hallway. No one said anything.

“Get y’all asses out this hallway.” Danni said backing me up.

“What you gonna do if we don’t!” Someone shouted.

“Imma fuck you up, that’s what!” She said. I guess she intimated people because people started going back to their business, but some were still watching.

“What y’all looking at Beyoncé for? Don’t look at her. Y’all aren’t worthy.” She said. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Mom, this is Danielle, she’s been my bodyguard for the day.” “She’s also the principal’s daughter and my only friend so far.” I added. 

My mom smiled and gave her a hug. “Nice to meet you sweetheart.”

Danni smiled but didn’t let go of my mom. My mom just let it happen, I guess stuff like this happens all the time.

“Well, you ready to go?” My mom asked.

“Yeah.”

My mom took a couple steps before she realized that Danielle was still holding onto her. She laughed and so did I.

“What class do you have next?” My mom asked her.

“I have all of my classes with Cori except Pre-Cal, so I have Self-Training next.” Danni said still not letting go.

“I’ll tell you what, if you let me go I will go ask your father if you can leave school a little early and hang out with Cori and I.”

Danielle immediately let go and she smiled.
