A BEST FRIEND'S LOVE

OLD FEELINGS

(Jayla)

~Chanel's POV~
"Go straight to the office now," my teacher says to me. I hate this f****** school and my teacher; he's so annoying.

"That's a write up," the principal, Mrs. Anderson, tells me.

"For saying two curse words, this is some bull," I say angrily. "He was tripping. Most teachers just say don't do it again but a write up is extra," I continue.

"Okay, I'm hearing two days of ISS as well," Mrs. Anderson says and eyes me. This b****. "I'll stick with the write up," I mumble and leave her office.

When I get back to class, first period is over and people are leaving the classroom. I go inside, get my stuff, and walk out of the classroom. It's only been first period and my day has been s*** already. "Hey Nel, you straight?," De asks me as we walk to our next class. He hasn't done this in a while so it makes me feel a little bit better. I show him my write up. "Damn," is all he can manage to say and I reply with I know. "Let it be 3 already", I think to myself as class starts.

.............

BRINGGGGGGG. THANK GOD. School is finally over and I head to the parking lot. De left with Jayla so I'm walking to the parking lot alone. I don't know how I'm gon' get through 6th period the rest of the year with Amiya in that class. I smile thinking about the times when Jas and I used to have our secret code about Amiya.

"Hey sis, what got you smiling?," I hear Chris say as he jogs up to me. "Oh nothing," I reply. "BAEEE," I hear Jasmine's loud voice from across the parking lot. She's walking over to us.

"Hey bae," she smiles and they kiss. I swear they have the cutest relationship ever. I guess she notices me because her smiles fades and she rolls her eyes.

"Hey Jasmine. The other day at lunch I was trying to apolo---," I start to say but she scoffs and starts talking to Chris. "Can we go please?," she asks him; more like pleads.

"Umm Jasmine please can you hear my apology out?," I beg for her to listen to me but she ignores me.

"Baby say something to her at least," Chris trys to whisper in her ear but I hear him.

"No Chanel I cannot accept your apology because all the god damn things we've been through together and all the times I've been there for you and when one n**** comes into your life, your whole demeanor changes," she finishes.

"I know Jasmine just let me make it up to---,"

"it's too late for that," she says and walks off. "I'm sorry sis imma catch you later," Chris apologizes and walks off. WTF. Okay, that's great.

I get in my car and head home. As soon as I get to my room, my mom tells me to clean the kitchen. While I'm at it, I might as well clean my room too. I put my music on and get to cleaning.

~DeVonte's POV~
Today was a crazy day. I mean yesterday I finally got my best friend back but now I'm regaining old feelings. F***. I can't do this s*** to Jayla.

My ringtone starts playing and I answer it. "Hey babe," Jayla says and I smile.

"Hey wassup."

"What you doing?," she asks and I say nothing.

"Can I come over and keep you company?," she asks me. "Yea sure." My mom is at her boyfriend's house so I'm home alone.

About 15 minutes later, I hear the doorbell ring and Jayla walks in. I hug her and we head upstairs to watch a movie. "You know I missed your fine a** today," she says and kisses me. I lowkey missed her too; she wasn't at school today. Jayla and I finished watching our first movie, Love and Basketball, and we were cuddling while watching our second one; Like Mike. She's in love with both of these movies so I wanna make her happy and watch them with her.

DING, DONG. I hear the doorbell ring and I get up to get it. "Hey," she says. It's Nel.

"Umm hey come in," I say. This gon' be some interesting s***. "Oh um hey Jayla," Nel says and Jayla smiles back at her. For some reason, I don't sense any tension. I tell Nel that we're watching a movie and she joins us.

Without warning, Nel leans into my chest while Jayla stills laying on the opposite side of my chest. I got two fine girls on me; how the hell I get so lucky. Jayla coughs but Nel doesn't notice.

"So I'm gonna go," Jayla says as she gets off my chest. "I'll walk you out," I say but she refuses and leaves. Obviously Nel was waiting for it to just be the two of us because she grabs a bottle of Hennessy from her bag and two shot glasses. WTF.

"OHH HELL NAH, " I decline her offer to have a shot. "Oh yea, I forgot you're a p****," she says, after having one shot. Just to prove her wrong, I take a shot. One shot leads to two which leads to four each. It's safe to say that we're kind of drunk right now but I don't care; I'm enjoying the moment.

Nel starts playing music and Act Up comes on. "Ouuuuuu this my s***," she says and starts twerking on beat. WELL DAMN. Enough to make a n**** go crazy. Mind you, she got on some short a** shorts too. This my lucky night.

~Jayla's POV~
"Yes girl. She just came and was all up on him," I vent to my friend. "See, I knew it," she responds. "Like I knew he still liked her but damn you don't gotta do all of that in front of me and I thought he was actually forgetting about her," I continue to drive.

"Oh s***. I left my sweater at DeVonte's house and it got my wallet with my ID in there. Girl imma call you back in a few," I explain and hang up the phone.

I finally get back to DeVonte's house and I knock on the front door. I turn the handle and of course it's open. N**** was too caught up with his lil bestie to even get up and lock the door behind me.

I go upstairs to his room and hear music playing. RED NOSE??? Why tf is he playing that unless ... I push open his door and see him and Nel dancing a little too close. And by that I mean she's twerking on him.

MY N**** WITH THIS B****. They too busy dancing that they don't even hear me come in the room. I grab my sweater and leave. I call my friend back. "B**** I'm done being nice.

We gon' beat some a**," I exclaim while gripping the wheel.

"YASSSSSSS B****," Jasmine yells through the phone.
