THURSDAY
Tasha,Quincy and I walked into school with Lucas and Sham lagging behind.We were ten minutes early so we headed to the open field beside the cafeteria.It was a space the school put aside for the students who did not ike reading at the library.We were already sitted by the time the two arrived.We looked at each other and I'm sure we all had the same question.Why were they acting all close like two butt cheeks but did not ask anything. Sham sat beside at one end and Lucas sat besidw Quincy and Tasha.Everyone got their phone out making themselves busy.I noticed Tasha giggling as she typed on her phone.I continued swiping on my phone playing Wordsearch.Then she giggled again.Sham beside was smiling at her phone like an idiot.
Jeez what did these two take this morning. Weed or something.Or is it boys.
I looked at them with curios eyes planning on aksing them later in the day.The bell indicating the first lesson rang and we all headed to class.Miss Sarah,our biology teacher got in class with a red dress and black stilettos.She pulled a cart behing her with a human skeleton.Today we were learning bones.The topic looked easy but also technical with the many bones in the body that we had to know.She made the skeleton sit facing us as the backbone leaned on the wall."Turn to page ninety three on your textbooks.
She'd started the lesson when I noticed Tasha on her phone giggling again."Dude you know Miss Sarah hates that shit."I leaned foward and whisper shouted."Yeah and she'll notice it if you continue talking to me,"she turned to me smiling sarcastically.I rolled my eyes at her and turned back to face the front. I froze when I noticed her approaching us and stopped a few desks infront of us."Moe,Tasha would you care to share whatever your discussing with the whole class?"Tasha quickly shoved her phone into her and steadied her glasses on her face."No Miss Sarah,"we said in unison.Lucas at the other corner was chuckling looking at us and Tasha flipped him the middle finger as Miss Sarah walked back to the front desk.We thought Tasha had escaped that only for Miss Sarah to turn her back looking at Tasha."Young miss,phone,"she said stretching out her palm.Tasha groaned as she walked to the front handing in her phone."Pick it at lunch time in the GNC office.Go with your friend there at the back"She said gesturing to me.Tasha dragged herself back to her sit.She sat and glared at me mouthing a thankyou with a look that said otherwise.We sat waiting for the lesson to end.The next class was Math which only made the situation worse since Mr.Leo was always grumpy.It seems this morning will not be ending anytime soon.
By the time lunchbreak came I was tired as hell.I couldn't wait for school to end so that I could go back home to my comfortable bed.Tasha and I had come from the GNC office after being 'counselled' for about twenty minutes.Sham,Noah and Quincy were sitted on one side with Lucas on the other alone.We sat at the table with Noah between us.I laid my head on Lucas' arm closing my eyes.I had gotten comfortable the noise around me fading when I felt Lucas shoulder moving."What mah?"I mumbled with my eyes still closed."You've not taken anything.Get up,"Lucas said still moving his shoulder.I did not move.I then felt a cold fluid flow down my back making my shirt wet."What the fuck!"I shrieked standing up as everyone on the table burst out laughing.I sat back down smacking Lucas' head and his reaction was abit satisfying.I dug into my food as an I remembered the two girls giggling at their phones this morning.I decided to start with Sham and leave Natasha foe later in the evening."So Sham,"she lifted her face looking at me."Who got you all happy in the morning making you giggle at your phone?"I asked as everyone at the table turned to her."True I also noticed,"Lucas added as Shamalla got uneasy looking back to her food.I was sure at that moment she was thanking God for our skin shade since we could not see her cheeks turning red."M-me.No one,"she stammered. "Oh.I'm pretty sure that wasn't no one,"I said as I leaned back smirking."Ok it's just friend."she said as she shoved a fries into her mouth so she would not be able to answer more questions."Which friend is this.We really should meet her or is it a he?"Lucas asked with a smug look on his face as he took out his phone typing on it.A few minutes later Sham stood leaving the table mumbling she had to go to the bathroom.I turned to Lucas and he shrugged just like everyone else as I turned to them.I poked Lucas on his arm,"What did you guys do on Saturday after we left?"I looked at him squinting my eyes to intimidate him."Nothing much.We just watched movies and played games.Then I left,"he looked relaxed but I still didn't trust him.I had caught him looking at Sham and ignored since I thought it was normal but as things were going they liked each other.No shit.One down.One to go.
***************
I picked my bag as the and walked out of class.As I got to the door I saw Tasha sitted across the hall waiting for me.She stood and joined me as we walked to out of the school.Just as we'd left school we heard someone call Tasha's name from behind.We turned only to see the guy she'd crushed into the other day."Sean,"she smiled as the guy approached us."Huh?!"I was confused.They now know each other."Moe this is Sean.Sean,Moe my bestfriend,"she said gesturing to me."Don't worry about that I know him.I'm just shocked you guys know each other.And you,"I said turning to Tasha,"why are you not angry?"She laughed as she put her hand on my shoulder."Shit happens and niggah came to apologise later thet evening.So we are cool.Infact we are friends."My God.In which hole of the universe do I stay in.I had not seen them talking even once since the incident.About a week.The most wierd part was that Tasha had become friends with him when she rarely just met someone and they became friends.We had this thing where people became acquaintances first then had to pass a stage where they could now become friends.Only the specific few just became friends abruptly without notice.I could say they were special.Yeah just like Noah.
"So where you guys headed to?"he asked enthusiastically."Us?We were going to theeee the park.Wanna come?"Tasha said as she held my hand which implied one thing."Yeah we were definitely going to the park.Care to join us,"I said sarcastically offering him a fake smile which I'm pretty sure he noticed but did not say anything.Tasha poked me on my stomach with her elbow making me bend in pain.I pretended to tie my shoe then straightened myself as we began walking.Sean appeared quite tall beside Tasha.If I estimated,he was standing at a height of 6'0 with Tasha at 5'6 which was quite a difference.We had been walking for about ten minutes when we arrived at the park.It was a bit filled with kids running around their parents sitted watching them.
I thought of my life as a kid.Me and my mom were not the closest to be honest.
I was not used to coming to the park since my mom was always busy at work.She left early in the morning and came back after I'd slept or when I was preparing to go to bed.I had felt bad for sometime but got used to it as I grew up.I even got used to being alone and didn't play much witb other kids.I stayed in the house doing my homework and watching TV.I think that took a big part in making me wierd and nervous around people.I was not used to talking much.When my parents took me to boarding school.I felt quite happy since I got people of my age to interact with.At school I tried making friends but failed since I felt like I could not trust anyone.
I just called them friends sincw they were my classmates.Things changed when I got into highschool.When we moved I got into Barkridge high.I thoughts life would be the same old boring shit I had until I met Tasha.I can say she was just different.She got through me and I came to trust her making her my first ever friend that I trusted.She made me become abit open to the world giving people a chance.Now here I was with a group of friends.Who even if I did not consider as close as Tasha,they did mean a lot.I was even making more friends and I was actually happy.
"Bruh."I felt Tasha nudge my shoulder snapping me out of my thoughts."We'll be at the swings."Sean gestured to the swings behind us as they stood laying their bags at the swing post.I checked my phone and it was already five."Imma head home now.See you guys tommorow."I picked my backpack and hugged Tasha as I waved to Sean."Keep her safe,"I shouted as I laughed after I'd reached a safe distance from Tasha.I had noticed a spark between them in the little time we were together.
"Okay ,"Sean replied as Tasha smacked him playfully.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○.○
