I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock. Time to get ready for school. I take a shower and then put on my black uniform shirt, black pants and my all black air force ones. I brush my hair up into a ponytail apply a little bit of black eye shadow,mascara,and eyeliner. After getting dressed I go get Aden dressed and we eat cereal. I hear Montrece taking a shower and wait for him to get ready so we can drop my brother off and head to school. Thirty minutes later we arrive at Lancaster High School. As soon as we enter the school I see Lyrique. She walks over to me and we hug. I introduce her to Montrece. We walk to class and agree to meet up at lunch since Lyrique and I hadn't had any classes together. I sit in class texting Montrece to help occupy time. Before I know it class is over. The next two classes are Athletics and art which go by fast as well. I head to lunch after art and see Jayce. We hadn't spoke since I left his house. He would text me but I hadn't replied. He walks over to me while I'm waiting for Lyrique. He says hi but I ignore him. I had nothing to say to him after the way he acted the last time we spoke. "You can't hear me talking to you" He asks. I start walking away but he grabs my hand. I jerk away but he pulls me back. All of a sudden Montrece comes out of nowhere and punches him in the face causing Jayce to fall to the ground. By now a crowd has formed and people are laughing and recording. Luckily the crowd wasn't so big that the principal had come. Montrece wraps his arms around me and asks if I'm okay. "I'm fine let's just go to lunch. ". We walk into the lunch room and get in line then find a table to sit at. Lyrique soon joins us. I tell her what happened and she just shakes her head. "I can't believe he had the nerve to put his hands on me"
" I know girl he is really trippin"
"The next time he do it he not gonna live" Montrece says with the most serious look I've ever seen him have. I knew he wasn't playing. Although he was sweet he didn't play when it came to people he loved. He was so protective and watchful. The rest of the day was boring and tiresome. I had practice but decided not to go. There was no use ingoing since I wasn't pursuing track as a career goal. Taking care of Aden took priority over everything. After school Lyrique and I had decided to get our nails done and Montrece would pick up Aden from school. We rode on Lyrique's car. She turned on the radio and my favorite song came on. Maps by Maroon 5. I began to sing. " I was there for you at you darkest times, but I wonder where were you when I was at my worst down on my knees." I loved that song and the man who sung it. Adam Levine was fine. We pulled up to the nail salon. Once inside we chose what colors and designs we wanted. We decided we would mix match. I got pink nails with a silver design and she got silver nails with a pink design. After getting our nails done she dropped me off. I missed hanging with her. "You wanna come up Montrece won't mind."
"Sure and I wanna see my boyfriend Aden" she said. Since Aden was born she had always called him her boyfriend. We went up the stairs and into the apartment.
"Dang girl is he selling dope or what. This place is too nice"
"His dad is paying for it. He's loaded"
"I see"
I could hear Aden and Montrece in the dining room. I walked in and spoke Lyrique followed behind. Aden hugged me and as soon as he saw Lyrique he jumped up in her arms. "Lyrique I missed you" he shouted with a big grin on his face. "I missed you too."
Lyrique stayed about ten minutes more until she had a call and had to leave. After she left Montrece told me he needed to talk to me. We left Aden in the dining room and went to the living room. "I think you should be careful around her" He says. "Something about her doesn't seem right. Did u see how she looked when she answered the phone?"
"She probably had something going on at home Trece but I hear you" I couldn't tell she was acting strange but I listened to him. After our talk he made dinner and we went off to bed. As I slept I had another weird dream. I'm in a room I can't see anything but can hear voices. I hear Jayce's voice but can't make out what he is saying. His voice comes closer I feel something cold on my temple. Bang! I wake up. I had no clue what this dream was about or what it meant. All I knee was that I was scared.
