The Long Wait

Chapter 11

Cheresse got to school a little bit late so she quickly rushed to her locker. Just as she closed her locker and turned to leave, Chelsea cornered her.

You're in my way, said Cheresse.

Hell yeah I'm in your way and what are you going to do about it? I told you stay away from Damien and what did you do instead? Huh, answer me you bitch. She knocked the texts books from her hands and stomped on them.

The last time I checked he wasn't yours and wasn't seeing any other person. Oh, he's now mine so I'll advise to watch it and keep your filthy arms off him. There were oohs and aahs from students who had gathered around them. Just then the bell rung and they scrambled to their classes.

This is not yet over. Chelsea shouted after her. It was now lunch and she was sitting with her friends at the cafeteria.

Girl I heard what happened in the hallway. That bitch has some nerve. Too bad I wasn't there to knock some sense into her. Shantelle said.

I didn't know you had it in you to fight back, that was wild coming from you, Tracy exclaimed.

Come on it's nothing really. That girl has finally gone bananas.

Next time I'll be there to kick her ass, Shantelle said and they all laughed.

She was eating some grapes she brought from home when she felt someone give her a kiss on the cheek. She turned to find Damien sitting beside her.

Hey, she smiled at him. He just gave a tight smile.

You don't look fine. What's going on?

Yeah what's gotten into your pants? Shantelle asked.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that incident with Cheresse and I'm sorry I wasn't there to stand up for you. That girl has really crossed the line, he sighed.

Cheresse took his hands in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. It wasn't your fault that happened, I'm fine. I can handle her, you have nothing to worry about.

I know but that girl is crazy. She's up to no good. I'm scared she's going to do something drastic next time.

Don't worry we'll handle her when it gets there okay? We even have Shantelle to put in some punches and kicks.

That got him laughing. Okay, if you say so. Now you better finish that before we get out of here. Cheresse just smiled and shook her head at him and went back to finish her meal.
