Going Home

DANCE & STEP PRACTICE

"Alright girls is everyone here?"Ms. Parkman, our dance coach, asked before we walked into the entering of the bus lanes.

I was wearing track shorts and a tank top. It was practice, so why not get comfortable before I get all sweaty and all? There are some people who stay after school for things like Basketball or Cheer or band. They don't come into the gym though.

"Yes ma'am" Everyone said in unison before walking to the entering of the bus lane. Gym is reserved for cheer and basketball so we had to go somewhere else. We got in our windows.

"STEP TEAM ATTENTION" Ms. Parkman yelled, causing us to instantly stomp our right then left leg. I stared ahead without flinching."5,6,7,8"

We all started stepping. When we all stopped and when she said at ease we put our arms down. I turned around to get my water but then I saw him again. Staring. I don't know why he was here after school. We lock eyes for a moment, but when I heard Ms. Parkman say call us back I ran back and got into my position.

AFTER DANCE & STEP PRACTICE

"Bye T' Yonna!" I yelled while waving.

I walked to the car. Carlos was waiting inside on his phone.

"KYRA!" A very familiar voice called out. I turned around and saw Matthew putting his hand up. I smiled and stopped walking, letting him catch up to me.

"Hey" I said still mesmerized by his presence. Why does it always gotta be the good ones who gotta be gay?

"Don't forget to text me" He said slightly smiling. I heard the car door shut. I turned around and saw Carlos standing outside of the car staring at Matthew (in pic above).

"Trust me, I won't." I said smiling back. I hugged him shyly then walked to the car. Carlos got back inside.

"Who was that?" He asked while putting his seat belt on.

"Matthew" I said smiling to myself

"Ooohhh-"He teased before I cut him off

"He's gay." I said plainly, putting my seatbelt on.

"Oh. Damn. You sure? He seemed to be all up on you. He probably bi." He said while he pressed on the gas pedal.

"I wish. But, he said I was cute for a girl so I'm good. Plus, him being gay dont stop me from date raping him." I said with a smirk on my face.

"OMG." He busted out laughing."Anyways how was your day"

"Weird, embarrassing, awkward, but also rewarding."

"What happened?"

"I talked to Matthew, then these new guys came to school. They don't talk to anyone, nobody knows them, nobody knows where they come from, how they got here, where they live. I don't even think teachers know. I've seen them. They have golden eyes. One has poofy afro, another has 2 braids, another has short curly hair with golden tips, and the last one has a normal fade cut. Afro keeps giving me a cold long stare. Today I ran into him and said a few things and called him a jerk. I guess I pissed him off and he slammed me against the wall and got really close. Then he continued to walk down the hall. He saw me stepping. With this on."I explained while gesturing to my outfit on the last part.

"Someone wants to get cut today. Show me who he is tomorrow. Me and him gone talk." He said clenching the steering wheel. "Don't nobody put they hands on my little sister"

"Chill Carlos. Its alright. As long as he don't get too physical." I said shrugging it off.

"But-"
