In Love With a Thug✔️

Chapter 7

When Malique dropped me off at the house no words were exchanged between the two of us, I just got out the car. I was pissed. Mom tried to talk to me but I wasn't having it, I just kept walking to my room.

I layed on my bed looking at my phone, waiting for a text, a call, anything from him, but nothing. He didn't bother to text me to let me know he got home safe or nothing. Maybe I should call him? No I'm mad at him because he lied and then said that he was with that bitch Eliana. I don't know much about the girl, only that they be texting back and forth and work together apparently. I'd rather not even think about it.

I end up not eating anything and taking a shower and going right to sleep.

Waking up to my alarm clock I checked my phone and saw a text message from Malique, so he texted me when I went to sleep.

Malique: Hey mamas, I'm sorry about yesterday. I know we have to talk about it. I'm picking you up so be ready and we can talk after you get home from school.

I honestly did not expect him to text me at all. Or even come and get me and take me to school. Getting up I get dressed and put on Maliques hoodie. I have yet to wear a hoodie of his to school but today I decided was the day.

Before walking out the door I am sure to wake up my sisters like I always do when I'm home in the morning. I grab my bag and walk out the door and see Malique waiting in the car. I get in the car and don't say anything to him.

"Damn good morning to you too, Imani."

"Good morning Que."

"Are you still mad at me for yesterday?" he sighed. I look at him dumbfounded, dude seriously? Yes I'm still pissed about last night. It didn't even happen a full 24 hours ago yet.

"Yeah I'm still pissed, you basically said that you would have rather been with that bitch, knowing I don't fuck with her."

"You don't even have reason not to fuck with her, you don't know her." he defends Eliana

"And I don't want to get to know her either. Her first impression wasn't good. And I don't need to be a rock scientist to know, yall use to fuck." I practically scream.

"Where the hell did that come from?" He had the nerve to look confused.

"So it is true?" I push the topic.

"I didn't say that." He remarks.

"You didn't deny it either."

Malique groans, "What do you want from me?"

"Nothing." I reply honestly. I didn't want anything from him. "But when are we going to talk about this more in debt because I'm about to go into this place that I despise more than you right now and I don't want to have a bad day."

Malique rolled his eyes and just nodded his head. Pulling up to the school I don't give Malique a kiss, or a simple goodbye when I left the car.

Not hungry, I go straight to my regular seat in the cafeteria and put my head down, imagining how the conversation will go with Malique. Someone pulling out a chair across from me pulls me back into reality. Looking up I see Caleb looking at me irritated. Ugh, I hope he doesn't expect me to act as if I care.

"What do you want Caleb?" I ask him and put my head back down, not caring about making eye contact with him.

"Nothing much. Whose hoodie is that?" he asks and my head shots up. Why did he care in the first place? Such a weird thing to care about.

"It's Maliques." I look at him as if he's dumb.

"Awe, how come you wear his hoodie to school? When I gave you mine you didn't wear mine to school." Again, such a weird thing to care about.
