Quite Black Girl

Ch.15

/Whats going on /

What is going on?

"Girl, is this you?" A person from the crowd handed me there phone it was me and Hakeem kissing and in the big caption, it read 'Hakeem's bottom bitch! Joyce temporary p- could never'

I didn't even know what to say but I knew that nobody would believe me either way. So I walked from the crowd and carried on with my day.

I got the last of my things from my locker and jumped as I shut it.

"Girl you scared me!" I said. Nakirah hugged me tight and looked at me.

"You're not upset?" She said frowning. She's like an adorable manipulated child when it comes to if she feels bad about something.

"No I have no reason to be. Disappointed maybe but upset nah."

"Good well just know I'll never switch up it's messed up how fast everyone's turning from you." I cold see she wanted me to pour out my heart.

"It doesn't matter it's whatever. It's my fault too." I said walking away I went to the cafeteria to finish my breakfast and once again everyone's eyes were on me.

"Damn can I eat in peace or is it illegal."

"Hey you good?" Nae asked it was the period before lunch. I nodded.

Honestly Ryan ignored me in all the classes we had so when lunchtime rolled around and my stomach got butterflies. Thoughts of my friends being mad at me played in my head.

I just shook it off and went to grab my lunch from my locker which was just water and popcorners kettle chips they were so bomb I had an addiction.

I sat down at my regular spot I'm not going out of my way to sit somewhere else for them. I felt a tap on my shoulder and her a loud smack. My shock kept me from feeling the pain and my tears couldn't do anything but fall.

"This is some bullshit." the thing I did next was adrenaline but don't hit me and except not to get touched.

I grabbed Joyce by her hair to my level and wanted so bad to punch her but just shoved her Hakeem her and left. I heard the lunchroom loud in shock laughter and bitterness towards me.

My phone buzzed with "death threats" left and right. How I was wrong to touch a pregnant girl and sleep with her boyfriend. Most of the text we're from Ryan and Joyce along with a private number they didn't say to end my life like the strangers I know that  was Venessa. But I had to ignore everything.

I love my friends but I'm not just here for them I'm here to learn to.

Weeks later...

"So I heard Joyce and Hakeem are engaged." Nakirah said stretching me out.

"I don't care." I said getting up to stretch her.

"And Ryan misses you." I dropped her leg hard by accident and she got up.

"Nakirah what any of what you're telling me has to do with me?" We both grabbed our bags walking out of cheer practice.
