It's last period, finally. I need this day to be over so I can yell at Kimetrius. He was so mad after we kissed. He didn't say anything to me or Tessa. He better have us act together when he picks us up.
"Malayah," I hear someone call my name. I look up from my phone to see Chris. I roll my eyes and text Tessa.
To: Bestie💛‼️
Call me, now‼️
2:58pm
"Malayah, we need to talk," Chris says.
"Um there's nothing to talk about," I say.
Bestie💛‼️
School is over in less than a minute, we can talk when I see you 🙄
2:59pm
Ugh. She's so difficult.
"Malayah, please," Chris whines. The bell finally rings.
"Bye Christopher," I say, getting up and getting my stuff. He grabs my arm and tugs on it. I snatch my arm away.
"Don't touch me asshole," I say. Everybody already left, even the teacher, apparently he had an appointment so it's just me and him. I try to walk out the door but he closes it and slams me against the wall.
"Fuck, Chris, that shit hurt," I say, rubbing the back of my shoulder. He grabs me by the neck and squeezes. Usually I would like it but right now, he wasn't joking or being freaky, he was mad.
"Chris, st-stop, you're hur-hurting me," I cough out.
"You're gonna listen to me," he says, "You're not gonna leave me Malayah."
"You cheated on me Chris," I cough.
"I don't care Malayah, I love you," he says, leaning in to kiss me.
I hear the door open to see Landon, Tessa and Skies walk in. Thank you Lord.
"Yo, what the fuck is wrong wit you nigga!?" Skies yells, pushing Chris off of me, making him fall on the floor, hitting his head hard. I slide down the wall and start coughing. Tessa squats down in front of me.
"Are you okay, did he hurt you?" Landon asks. I shake my head.
"Omg look at your neck Malayah," Tessa gasps.
"What!? What happened to her neck?!" Kimetrius asks, coming over to me. He looks at my neck and his eyes turn dark. He turns and walks over to Chris.
"What are you doing?" I ask Skies.
"What the fuck is your problem?!" He yells at Chris. He grabs him by his collar and punches him in the face.
"Stop!" I get up and push Ki off of Chris. I grab his arms and look him in the eyes.
"It's not worth it, let's just go," I tell him. He nods his head.
"Nah Malayah, he just put his hands on you," he says.
"I know, but imma be fine," I reassure him.
"Okay," he says. He spits on Chris and walks out the classroom.
