"Girl give me my food. I'm starving", I tell Yanna, reaching for my food.
"You not the only one starving. Calm down."
"All y'all do is go back and forth. Y'all more like sisters than cousins."
"No we not ", Yanna and I say in unison.
"Exactly my point."
I cut my eyes at Kaliyah and eat my fries. As we eat, a lot of students gather around each other and gossip .
"All they do is gossip bro. Don't have nothing better to do."
"Right.... this the stuff ion like coming back to. I miss Fall Break."
"Yeah, but honestly Fall Break got ruined by you know who and whatchamacallit."
"You don't have to use code words. You can say their names. I don't care", I shrug.
"Mhmm them niggas ain't shit."
"And ain't. And Jet gave Giya a promise ring. She don't know how to act; taking pictures with her hand out like girl we get it. He gave you a ring but he shol ain't promising shit."
"IM SCREAMINGGGG BYE."
"I'm serious bro. They toxic as hell. Wishy washy as ion know what, and she cheated on him. Ever since then, they ain't been the same, but she walking round her like she Cinderella."
"You ain't shit."
"I'm just saying. She a toxic ass bitch and I'm not afraid to say it. Y'all know me, I'll step. Don't give a fuck who you are."
I shake my head. "It's not your relationship Kaliyah. People love differently. If they're still together then it's for good reason."
"I get it Olivia. I really do, but good reason my ass. I know that people love differently, but that's a toxic kind of love right there. If 2 people are in a toxic relationship and don't want to get out, it's because either they feel trapped or they both love each other too much to let each other go. In this case though, I'm convinced that Giya is holding Jet hostage because ion see how he can deal with her."
"It could be because he actually loves her", Yanna says laughing.
"Mhmmm, girl maybe so, but the way she be acting just upsets the fuck outta me. Her and her friend."
"You never told us what happened with G and her friend."
"Right I wanna know."
"Simple: G cheated on me with Giya's friend. Giya's friend was trying to get with G for the longest. She liked him even though she knew that me and him were together. Giya knew too, but she helped her friend anyway."
"Damn..... how you find out."
"It wasn't hard to connect the dots. I knew her friend liked him from the jump. I just never thought dude would've cheated, but when he did..... I knew it was with her."
"Dude need his ass beat."
"He does but I'm not goin keep reminiscing because it's destroying my peace in the process."
"Yeah, but I thought you and him were back on good terms. With the flirting and arguing y'all did."
"We're not. I love G and I always will, no doubt about it.... but he betrayed my trust. He hurt me in more ways than one, and I can't put my trust in him again."
"Yeah... these lil boys aren't shit. One of these days, we goin find the right ones."
"Ion know about y'all, but I just might go gay cuz these muhfuckas ain't it for me."
