Lotus

I'm sitting here in Algebra with no idea on what Mrs.Gibson is talking about because I'm so focused on the lovely figures at the table next to mine. Angelo and Howard. I find it funny how we all have a majority of classes together and lunch when we don't have the same majors. If you haven't noticed, I'm a highly advanced visual artist though I do more than the visuals. Howard, my love. is an orchestra major. What hood nigga you know get down with the violin? Scratch that, what violinist walk around with his instrument, and two 9s in his waist band? Howard. Angelo, my love, is a band major. Fine ass drummer boy at that. Plus, he plays basketball for a school down the street since our school doesn't have sports. He's a great player too. How do you juggle all that, watching me, and your lifestyle? I'll never know. But what I do know is... Theres nothing like a dedicated athlete...

I heard the assignment Mrs.Gibson gave out and got up to get a calculator from the counter until a hand reached out to grab my wrist.

''Aye can you get me a calculator Lo'?''

''Yeah me too Baby''

They both spoke before I got a chance to say no. The smiles of hope on their faces died when I replied with my usual smart remark as I went to go and get the calculators. Once I turned my back, I felt their eyes immediately travel towards my body. To my ass of course .

I'd tried hard since the eighth grade to keep this figure of mine up and I guess it's working. After getting them and my self calculators, I sat down with my friend Peanut and began to work.

Okay, question one, What's the difference between the compound inequality-

"Lo'."

"Lo'."

"Lo' I know you hear me."

"Lotus if you don't-"

"Baby get over here and help us."

Angelo spoke followed by Howard. They so damn irritating.

I moved over there when I realized Angelo hadn't had his book today. So I would be spending the start of my school day with my babies. We'd done work and before we knew it class ended and I'd proceeded down to my locker with Angelo behind me. Howard had gone to his locker. By the time I was down the stairs after putting my algebra books away, Angelo had managed to get in a few squeezes to my backside. He held the door for me as we went to his locker on the fourth floor. I leaned against the lockers next to him and watched as he put in his code and got some books out for his next class. He started to speak but I cut him off when I dropped all my things and jumped on my best friend. My best friend so fine.

"Oh my gosh BestFriend where you been?! I haven't seen you in forever! I missed you!"

Amir hugged me back as I settled on his hips and he grabbed my waist to support me before speaking again.

"I missed you too my baby, I feel like I ain't seen ya little ass in forever."

"I'm only 5'4 mannn."

"BestFriend you short as fuck compared to Angelo and I."

"Just because you look down at me doesn't mean anything."

"Don't worry Ma it's cute."

Angelo chimed in. We talked more and they took me to class. It was all pretty okay until I went to lunch. C Lunch to be exact. I walked in and it just felt as if all the guys were looking at me. Every step I took the more burning holes were created in my face. I've never been this noticed. Not this way. I couldn't even get in line to get food I felt like such a target. I went and took a seat at the end of a window counter far away from everyone  in the cafeteria. I stared back at everyone and one person in particular had his back turned to me. Howard. He kissed Hannah on the cheek and made his way towards the door with her following behind as she smiled at me before keeping up with him. I got up when they were too far to hear my footsteps and Amir and Angelo came into the lunch room right on key. Stepping in and then blocking the doors so they had no way to get out. I stepped up slowly behind them as I heard Amir questioning Howard. BestFriend was fuming.
