Bad Boy Gone Good

7. Work

I walked to the dance studio and went to the side, waiting for my dance buddy and close friend named Vay.

"Oh! Where did you get the McDonalds from?" She said, while being creepy and staring at it.

"Vincent bought it for me." I tried to say without smiling.

"Oh, that dude best friend that Melanie's been hanging out with." She smirked.

"She told you?"

"Yeah, she told me about the name in your phone. About the coming up behind you, winking at you, now here he is bringing you McDonalds. Damn, they got anymore friends like them, shoot get me a nice one." She said like a ratchet. I laughed as I took a bite of the burger. I've been craving this for the longest, I ate a french fry and rolled my eyes back. Vay looked at me, with her big hazel puppy dog eyes and I gave her a couple of french fries, she smiled and munched on them.

We began practice and Reggie and his 'squad' came in. "Nova!" He called and walked over to me.

"Why am I hearing about this guy coming here and buying you McDonalds and shit?"

"Because it's something you never did. Who told you anyways?" I asked while getting impatient.

"No one did, I have people all over this school. Don't act brand new." He reached over to grab my hand, I pulled back glaring at him.

"Don't touch me, get out. I have more important things to do with my time." I turned my back about to walk away and he grabbed my arm.

"Get off of me."

"Nova, you need to realize that you're always mine."

"If you don't get your fucking hands off me-"

"What you going to do?" Josh and Mel walked in, watching.

"Reggie get off of her." Mel tried to break me free, but he only held on tighter, looking at Mel. He pushed her back and she landed on the floor. One look at Josh and he set down his phone, charging at Reggie. He ran towards him and grabbed him, staring dead into his eyes.

"If you ever set another finger on her, I will send you to your grave alive, then have the biggest smile on my face on my way to jail. Be lucky I won't lay your ass out here boy." He sets Reggie down and let's go of me, Reggie looks at me and scoffs. Vincent walks in and looks heated, he bumps into Reggie, not knowing about what just happened.

"My fault."

"It is your fault." Vincent death stares at Reggie, as Reggie stares at Josh.

"Vince. That's him." Josh said, while holding Mel, Vincent looks at me as I put my head down.

"Nova. Are you okay?" I nod as I feel all the attention on me as he spoke to me. He walk towards me and gently lifts my head up.

"I'm sorry for what you're about to see." He said only soft enough for me to hear. He nods at Josh and Josh hugs and kisses Mel as she walked over towards me.

"So, you disrespect me, hurting and disrespecting her is another thing." He steps closer to Reggie.

"I don't like people disrespecting mines. I could let you off easy. But there are three types of niggas in this world. There's niggas like you-" he points at Reggie in the chest.

"Niggas like him-" he points at Devon, one of the straight guys in our team.

"Then there are niggas like me." He punches Reggie, while Reggie's best friend, Jordan, tries to swing at Vincent. Josh jumps in front of Vincent and lays him out right next to Reggie.

"Y'all niggas weak, thought it was going to be a bigger fight." Josh said while laughing. Vincent walked up to me and hugged me tightly.

"Are you okay?" He says with his eyes full of worry.

"I am but I think you guys have bigger problems on your hands." I pointed at the rest of the team in the corner, including Vay, scared out of their minds. Vincent holds my hand and I try to let go, but he held it tightly.

"I'm sorry, you guys. Continue with your practice." He said as he smiled with his bright smile and golden eyes. I saw all the girls drool over him as I rolled my eyes.
