Bigger Than Most

Chapter 32💛

Ranae

The fact that they were even here blew my whole mood. I was happy about not seeing them as much but seeing them now, all the things they put me through resurfaced to my mind. Then the shit with Cameron from earlier was still freshly on my mind. It's like all the bad things just stacking up.

I watched as they made there way over to the middle of the bleachers with the group of girls who was already here. They was even more louder sounding like a rally. Candice sat on Jared's lap, wrapping her arm around his neck.

I guess he felt eyes on him, he looked over here, his eyes finding mines, and his brows furrowed. Candice was whispering and kissing his ear but his eyes never left me. I felt disgusted for him to be honest.

She tried getting his attention but he didn't budge. She made a stank face and followed his eyes to me. Her face scrunched up instantly as she grabbed his face, turning it to her. "What the fuck Jared!" She shouted at him. We all heard her from here and they looked their way.

"They loud as shit." Chrissy said.

          "Mhmm. I ain't staying long y'all. I don't want an headache." Nicole sighed, getting on her phone.

          "Hol'up, Nae is that the girl that was in yo face at the birthday party we went to?" Chili asked.

I sighed, already feeling this was about to lead to something I don't want it to right now. And I remember that day, it was Jared's birthday at his house. It was the most weirdest, uncomfortable, and awkwardest day I ever had.

"Looks like it. You know them?" Nicole asked me.

I debated on if I should tell them about the shit Candy put me through but I really didn't want no drama to pop off. "From school." I said dryly.

My eyes went to Jared and he glanced at me. I looked away, back to the boys playing ball and Anthony was looking at me. He said time out to them and walked a little closer to where we was.

        "You good?" He asked me and I nodded. I guess he could see the annoyance on my face from here. "You sure?" I nodded again and he went back to the court.

         "Why he asking that?" Chrissy asked and I sighed. Answering that would lead to more questions so imma just let it all out.

        "Because all of them harassed and bullied me for years, minus the girls that was already here." I sighed. "And he checked the one you called cute."

They was taking back by what I said and Chilli chuckled. "Wait, so you saying you've been getting bullied by these motherfuckers and didn't tell your friends? Your parents, Rod to be exact!" She said.

Nice of her to make me feel stupid about it then I already do. I felt so disappointed in myself for letting stuff like this go this long. I knew they would get on me about this.

        "Because....  I don't know." I mumbled. She sucked her teeth.

        "Girllllll.."

         "Chilli chill." Nicole said to her. Everyone knew how her mouth was when she's upset. But I don't blame her, I hate myself for letting this happen. I curse myself out too.

          "Whatchu mean chill? This fucked up! We your best friends girl. More like sisters. You got people who would drop a bitch or a nigga in seconds over you! Shit Kev gave you an example at the club. Why wouldn't you tell nobody?" She spat.
