Across the Street

Chapter 3

I was walking to my car when I saw Jailyn walking out her front door. She looked up and gave me an apologetic smile while walking towards my car. "No," I said already knowing she was trying to get a ride.

"Please. Please. Please. I promise I won't ignore you again. Kaia won't take me, and I really need a ride," she replied sticking her bottom lip out.

I stood there for a second debating on whether to take her or not. "Fine, but you owe me."

She rolled her eyes and laughed getting the car. "What I gotta do?"

"I don't know yet, but just know you owe me," I said side-eyeing her.

"Bruhhh, you acting like I hit you or something," she said throwing her back.

"You over here catching an attitude with me over something I ain't even do."

"You right that's my bad," she said. "I ain't think you'd be so butt hurt about it," she continued smirking.

"Shut the hell up or imma push you out of this car while it's moving," I said slightly shoving her against the door.

"Shenanigans"

I reached over grabbing the door like I was about to open it. "OKAY OKAY!" she screamed grabbing my arm.

I let go and started laughing at her.

"Punk ass," I heard her mumble under her breath. I reached back over and snatched her phone and held it out the window. I threw it onto the grass that was next to my parking spot. I ain't never seen that girl move so fast. She picked up her phone as I got out.

"I'm gonna beat your ass," she said jumping on my back.

I quickly pinned her up against the side of my car and dropped her. "Try me," I said laughing and walked away.

"I got cheer today, so wait for me?" Jailyn said following me.

"Nah," I kept walking, and soon Jada caught up with me.

"Yall gotta be doing something," Jada said now walking beside me.

"No, she caught an attitude, so I had to put her in her place," I replied and, Jada walked away chuckling heading to class.

At lunch, I noticed Jailyn wasn't there, but I figured she just sat somewhere else. Out of nowhere,

 I felt someone pull me back, and Jailyn sat in my lap. I was confused as hell, but just to irk her nerves I wrapped my arms around her waist and my head on her shoulder. I squeezed hard as hell. She quickly jumped out of my lap, and I laughed at her.

"Gay ass," she said rolling her eyes.

"You the one that sat on my lap. Don't you got a boyfriend?" I questioned her.

"I guess," she shrugged and sat next to me. 

I started talking to Keyon about who had training with our pops this weekend, and if we were going with him to the Atlanta Dream game. "Ooouuuu can I go?" Jailyn begged.

"For sho," Keyon said as I shouted, "Hell no!"

"Why don't you want me to go?" Jailyn questioned me.

"Cause I don't like yo ugly ass," I said. " I already gotta spend wayy too much time with you."

"Oh really? I'M ugly?" she interrogated. I just nodded at her. "According to Jada, that's not what you said last week," she winked right as the bell rang.

I sat there and looked at Jada like she was crazy and she quickly looked away and got up to go to class.

After all my classes and practice, I decided I should wait for Jailyn since cheer lasted longer than softball. "I thought you weren't gonna wait on me?" Jailyn said walking out of the gym.

"I figured if I didn't, you'd get my ass in trouble, so here I am," I replied shrugging.

"Nah. You just wanted to see me in my practice uniform," she said walking past me.

I decided to fuck with her, "And what if I did?" I said walking behind her making sure to graze against her ass.

"Imma beat your ass for real," she said making a stank face.

I laughed, "Don't get mad cause you wanna play games." I opened up my trunk for her to put her bags in. As she was putting them in, she bent over and looked over her shoulder to see if I was looking at her ass which I wasn't, but she wanna play games so. "That thang thangin'" I joked rubbing my chin. She hit my shoulder and walked around to get in the car.

"Let me get the AUX."

"Whose car you in?"

"Your's?" she asked.

"Exactly! Tf you thought this was?" I said chuckling.

"Bruh! I swear we listen to the same shit!"

I side-eyed her and reluctantly handed it over. "You play something trash, you walking."

She started playing YoungBoy, and I nodded and pulled off.
