Mind Of a Maniac

Chapter 3

Another dreadful day at school and Im late for school. When I walk into class I see Melly, in the desk behind mine. I sit down and i get a awkward feeling. Why is he always everywhere I go? I think to myself. I know he is supposed to be here but it's been a month of school and he randomly pops up. He stared at me the whole day and it sent chills down my spine. Today I didn't go to the store, neither did Melly. He was walking behind me so I stopped walking to talk to him. ¨Wow¨, I exclaim ¨Mr. Demons finally came to school¨. He laughs ¨Maybe I aint wit all dat school shit¨. ¨But you are smart¨ I say ¨we had a test today and after it was graded I distributed everyone's paper back to them, you got 100%¨.

¨Yea but ion need education for what im tryna be¨, he shrugs. ¨What do you want to be¨ I ask. ¨Imma be a artist but nobody believing me, Imma be the first to get out of Gifford¨.

¨Spit something¨ I smile. We stop and he beats n his chest. ¨Ain't get to roll no weed, aint get to roll swishers, I was locked up on Christmas, aint get to see my niggas Ain't get to hug my mama, couldn't even give her no kisses Can't even post on my Instagram 'cause these pussy niggas be snitching Everybody acting suspicious, might prolly say that I'm tripping When I'm all alone in my jail cell, I tend to get in my feelings And all I smoke is that loud, don't pass me no midget And I'ma smoke all of my pain away 'cause that the only thing that gon' heal it I don't understand these women who go around pretending As if they really fuck with me, so I love 'em all from distance 'Cause the same bitch say she down to ride be the main one who tricking Got Molly mixed with Promethazine 'cause every time

I wake up in the morning I got murder on my mind, ak-47 mac-11's glocks and nines¨.

    The rawness and pain in this voice is astonishing. And I'm not gonna lie, I got kinda wet hearing him sing. His voice is beautiful. ¨Oh my God¨ I say, you're voice is amazing. ¨Ahh its a little sum sum¨, he says. ¨So¨ I clap my hands together ¨if you are so focused on being a artist, why did you come back to school¨? ¨To see you¨, he smiles. If I was lightskin I would look like a tomato because I am blushing so hard right now. ¨What's so interesting about seeing me¨ I ask. ¨I like you¨ he says, ¨you're innocent, and quiet¨. I like him too but I don't wanna tell him that. I begin to talk, ¨I'm¨ (ding) my mom texts and I get distracted. ¨Oh, I say, ¨My mom wants me home so I'll see you Monday¨. ¨Ight¨ he says.

It's currently 10pm and I'm up bored out of my mind when my phone rings. It's the one friend I made at school, Ashley. ¨Dumb hoe why aren't you at the party¨, she screams over the music. I roll over on my stomach on my bed. ¨My mom said I couldn't go¨. ¨Well what is your mom doing right now¨ Ashley asks. ¨She is sleeping¨ I say. ¨WELL SNEAK OUT DUHHH¨, Ashley says. ¨NO ARE YOU CRAZY¨ I exclaim. ¨Ugh you're such a hobknocker she laughs. 10 minutes later I'm walking into the party.

¨Oh bitch you made it¨, Ashley says as she hugs me. ¨Yea my mom worked all week so I don't think she will up anytime soon I say. Around 1am I was worn out. 3 hours of dancing, singing, laughing and screaming I decided to sit on the couch. I started daydreaming when I felt someone sit on the couch, it was Melly. ¨Oh hey¨ I say, ¨when did you get here"? "I've been here for a while, you can really down a bottle" he does a windex bottle laugh. I smirk. He licks his lips and smiles.

I smile back. He grabs my face and pulls me closer, I stare at his lips. Our lips almost lock when ¨WUHHOOOOO¨, Ashley jumps in between us holding a bottle of vodka. She's highly intoxicated. ¨Áwe y'all were 'bout to kiss her words slur. ¨I condone this!¨ she puts her hands up and spills some vodka. I roll my eyes. ¨Melly, Melly¨, Ashley takes a sip from the bottle of vodka and taps his leg. ¨Damn you trippin'¨, he stares at Ashley. ¨Did you know¨, Ashley continues. ¨Nokia said you are a darkskin daddy¨. He gives out his windex bottle laugh again.

I gasp and drag Ashley to the corner by her arm. ¨Come on Ashley¨ I struggle, ¨letś go, no let's go¨. ¨No no no¨ she takes another sip from the bottle and pulls me back to the couch. She plops onto the couch. ¨Guys¨ she yells ¨let's play 7 minutes of heaven¨. Almost everyone in the house cheers and goes up to the master bedroom where the game would take place.

¨No¨ I say as Ashley attempts to drag me upstairs. ¨Yes¨! She pulls with all her force using both of her hands. Everyone enters the biggest guest room that has the biggest closet. First everyone played truth or dare, secrets were being spilled, people were getting slapped and tittes were exposed. Then it moved to 7 minutes of heaven. Two rounds in, and I was very uncomfortable. ¨Hey¨ one of Melly's friends shouts. ¨How about the new girl go in the closet with Melly. I roll my eyes extremely indgated. We both stand up and look each other in the face. Melly licks his lips and I look into his eyes. ¨I am done playing this game¨. I walk away and hear Melly's friend yell ¨ḧey ayee I like this girl.
