"Tamiya, why he did you like this?" I asked, passing her a piece of tissue as she wipes her face.
Tamiya sniffled.
"He wanted me to have sex with him again and I told him no. So, he beat me and told me that I ain't shit. I'm just a— I'm just a—" she was trying to get what she was saying out but, she broke down into tears again.
My heart breaks for her. A girl like Tamiya doesn't deserve to be treated like this, he needs to be handled. Seriously.
"Aww, but why would did you sleep with him in the first place?" I asked.
Tamiya stared at the wall while her head lays on my shoulder. "He said he liked me. A lot. No guy in the school never liked me."
She answered, looking down as she begins to play with her tear stained tissue. I sighed and held her close to me.

I waved bye at Tamiya as I walk out of the nurse's office and head back to my class. It was almost over anyways.
Before I could enter, I heard Keri calling my name. I lean back and smiled as she was running down the hall to me.
"Where your tail was coming from?" Keri asked, laughing.
"I just came back from the nurse's. Tamiya got beat up by Reginald cause she didn't want to sleep with him again." I answered, explaining to Keri as her jaw dropped.
"Oh my God, Bibi, tell me you're lying? That beautiful girl? Girl, I'm about to find him and stomp his ass out."
Keri gritted her teeth punching her fist into her palm, making me flinch a bit.
I feel her pain though. I don't mind giving him a few kicks.
I shook my head. "Keri, she was real messed up. I was crying with her."
"I know. Reginald, shit, men in general act a fool when they don't get what they want. I know his ass is gon get expelled when she tells her aunt." Keri nod.
"Bad news, she's not going to tell." I bit my bottom lip as Keri swiftly turn her head to me and furrow her brows.
"The fuck you mean she ain't going to tell? I'm sorry, best friend. I didn't mean to snap on you but, he needs to be out of this school." Keri pointed.
"Tamiya is afraid of him plus, you know how dangerous he is?" I whispered, shifting my eyes left and right.
Keri look me up and down, chuckling. "Dangerous? Ha! Girl, where? The only thing that's dangerous is him and his bitch ass sidekick thinking they're from the hood when they are actually suburban boys."
I cover my mouth before an ugly laugh escape. I never knew they were like that. At first, I thought he was from the Southside.
"But since I'm heading that way, I might as well stop there and talk to her. She going to change her mind then." Keri bet.
"You think so?" I asked, looking at the clock as it was almost time to go to lockers.
"Mhm. I know so." Keri nod.
I smiled at her. "Alright bestie, good luck with that."
We shared a hug and she laughs.
"After school, I'm coming over your boo's place to steal some snacks." She remind me as she walks down the hall, heading to the nurses.
I shook my head and turn to go back into class.

"Ooh! Let me see how my picture look!" I lightly jump up and down in Amir's bed causing him to laugh as he walks over to me with his camera.
He showed me the photo he just took.

I smiled, taking a bite of my sour green apple string. (I forgot what they're actually called! Help! 😂)
"Aww, I look so pretty! You got that bomb ass camera." I nodded and Amir smirks, kissing my cheek as he plop down next to me.
"I've always wanted one since I'm always snapping pics on my phone. From working a lot at my father's car wash, I took my money to purchase this at Best Buy. Ever since then, I think I'm a professional and shit." He explains, laughing afterwards as I joined him.
"You know, hard work pays off and I'm so proud of you." I hugged him.
After I almost cleaned out Quinton's snack pantry, Amir brought me to his place where we chilled. He lived two blocks down from the school.
I ate another string and listen to A Tribe Called Quest's Jazz We Got playing on his TV from YouTube.
"Can I mess with you?" I asked, laughing as he chuckled.
"Why would you ask me something dumb like that? I don't mind you irritating me." Amir smiled.
I shook my head and begins to play with his hair while humming a random tune. I love how we're both comfortable to each other. It's true cause like Alissa said, we're just like alike.
I don't care how many times I've said this but, having him in my life been very wonderful. Loving him is wonderful.
