Keith Powers Imagines : Book 3 🦋💜

Red

keith

i walked through the halls of my new school aimlessly as i wandered to my next class. i made it there and sat down in a random seat.

some pretty girl sat next to me as i focused my attention towards the front of the class as the front of the room as the class filled up.

"claire ! here !" i heard a light feminine voice blurt as i looked up to see this beauty of a girl.

i looked up and gazed at her as everything became slow motion. she jogged in and placed the book down as her big lips spread into a smile showed her teeth covered in braces , her straightened hair flowing perfectly around her , as she brown eyes stared at the girl next to me. she looked like the girl of my dreams.

she quickly ran out without a moment's glance at me , as i followed her with my head out the door. i snapped out of my trance once the bell rang.

"you like whatcha see ?" i heard the girl next to me , i looked at her and chuckled a little looked down at my book.

"hi , i'm claire. you must be new here." she said , i nodded and shook her hand.

"so , you on the football team ?" she asked . i nodded as she giggled a bit and opened her notebook.

"not much of a talker are you ?"

i shook my head. i got diagnosed as a mute last year. but i refuse to let anybody know why.

"it's just first day heebie jeebies. you'll be okay in about a week." she lowly spoke as i shrugged a bit and wrote what was on the board.

after class..

"here , text me if you ever need help." claire said as she walked out . i nodded and picked up my bag and started out the door toward football practice.

"oh hoooo. look who we got here." was the sentence i heard as i keep walking down the hall quietly peeking around the corner to see the girl from earlier and a few guys. i assume from the football team.

"so red , you know your birthday is coming up-"

"so ? that's not my name and you need to leave me alone." she said as she closed her locker and walked away.

"it's okay , we don't have to wait for your birthday ! i'll get that ass again." he shouted as i slightly made a face as questions popped up in my head.

what was he talking about ? why do they call her red? why did she look so angry and scared ? what happened to her ?

these questions bounced around the walls of my head as i strolled to football practice.

i walked into the locker room as i heard a few laughs. i walked in as they turned their head towards me .

"oh shit. the new boy actually isn't scrawny." i heard the boy in the front say. i kept quiet as we kept a gaze on each other.

"i'm Donte , this Sam and Jalen." he said as i nodded with a small smile. i walked over the locker with my name on it as i opened it and started to get ready for practice.

"man whatchu gone do bout red ? i heard she staying after today."

"word. you are her bestfriend, get her down here."

"nah man as of yesterday, she can't seem to forgive me for her party." i became confused again. what was wrong with her party ? i've never been to one . there's something going on at this school.

after practice..

we all walked back into the locker room as Donte walked along side me. "ya know keith , you pretty good." he complimented me as i nodded and gave him a small smile.

"you don't talk much do you ? what's wrong ?" he asked , i shrugged when i knew exactly what.

"teeth fucked up?" he asked. i smiled and showed my perfect array of teeth.

"halitosis ?" he asked again. i shook my head no. i made it to my locker and grabbed my bag. i checked my phone to see a text from dad saying that he wouldn't be home until tomorrow.

i turned to dap him as i secured my backpack on my shoulders and picked up my duffel back.

"well ight brotha silence. i'll see you tomorrow." i snickered a little and dapped him and walked out. i kept my eyes forward as i felt a face smack into my stomach.

i widened my eyes and looked down , she made a noise and picked herself up . she looked up and tilted her head .

"are you just gonna stand there and look stupid?" she asked , it was the girl from earlier , the words just wouldn't come out.

"hello ? are you deaf ?" she asked as she snapped at me . i shook my head no as she rolled her eyes and walked around me , mumbling to herself.

i closed my eyes and hung my head as i trudged to the car. i opened my bag to see i had forgotten my keys in the locker room. i sighed to myself and trudged back into the school as i seen the same girl running out with tears running down her face , i just kept walking until i bumped into Donte.

"aye you seen a girl with straight hair running ? kinda bad , pretty."

i shook my head and shrugged as i proceeded into the locker room. i walked towards my locker and opened it to see my keys hanging up on one of the hooks inside.

i heard and seen Donte limping in and holding his stomach as blood ran down from the spot he was covering, i stared as he grabbed his shirt and applied pressure and winced in pain.

what is up with this school and the people in it..?
