JORDEN’S POV

What. The. Fuck.

I storm into the apartment. “That was fast.” I hear a familiar voice say. I walk into the living room and see Cat, Brandy, Alyssa, and Chase. “Oops. Thought you were Branden.” She said after seeing that it was me.

“Hey Jorden” Brandy said quietly.

“Hey Bambs.” I cursed in my head. I didn’t mean to call her that. I saw her face perk up a little. “I mean, Brandy” I say quickly trying to cover my mistake.

I saw her expression drop. I actually felt bad, but I didn’t even want to deal with her at the moment. “What was fast?” I say directing my question to Cat. I notice Chase give her a side eye and then he looked to the ground.

“Oh, nothing.” she sang.

“Whatever.” I say walking back to my room.

I couldn’t get the image of Laila and Branden out of my head. I would’ve punched something if it my knuckles weren’t already sore from the last time I had to use my fists for her. I couldn’t even wrap my head around what I saw, after everything I knew about her other little boy toy. I mean, the dude had his name tattooed on his chest and she’s outside hooking up with Branden.

I guess she couldn’t have me, so she went for the next guy on the list.

I felt my phone vibrate. It was a text from Laila.

 Laila: Hey

Me: What’s up?

Laila: Can we talk?

Me: About…?

Laila: About what happened in the hallway.

Me: Nothing to talk about. I’m good.

I cut my phone on silent. I wasn’t up for any of the BS. I took a shower and went to bed.

LAILA'S POV

[Thursday 10:56pm]

“You are a true thot!” Cali said, throwing popcorn at me after I filled her in on the situation.

“I knowwwww.” I said to her, throwing my head into her lap.

It had been a few days since Jorden saw Branden and me kissing.

She rested the popcorn on top of my head and continued  “oh no, you gets no love from me, mph mph mph, tryna smash the team.”

“Noooo.” I jumped up and started pacing the floor, almost knocking her popcorn over. 

“He was the one who disappeared in the middle of the night like a side hoe, and then had the nerve to take that girl out, just wooshing past me like I wasn’t standing there, mumbling out some sorry ass ‘hey’ like we were strangers”

“For the record, you kinda are strangers.

“Who’s side are you on?”

“I just don’t want you to be all coo-coo for cocoa puffs… vanilla puffs?... All crazy over someone you don’t know.”
