Demented

Chapter 3

      Zuri latches onto me as she lays her head on my shoulder with tears rolling down her face. "Why would he do this to me, I've given him my all when no one else would. I offered my love to him and he just threw it away like it was nothing!" "I understand. And I did the same for Sariah. All my money, she'd just abuse me of my monetary value just to take advantage of me. I love the hell out of that girl, but people just tell me that she always behind my back doin shit and I just don't listen. She's my only light some days. Man it's just hard to let go of something you really love. Regardless of what they doin." Us both in unison say, "Right!" It's been 20 minutes past and I'm still not back in class yet, but this right here is something I didn't expect to happen. Me walking in on my girlfriend in my first block kissing my bully. I tell her, "Hey let's just meet by the graveyard at lunch and we can talk about it!" her response was, "Okay. Just be ready. I got some shit to show you." I walk away surprised but just ready to get to the bottom of this. So I walk back in class and everybody looking at me crazy including my teacher Mrs. Copelin. "Well that's detention for you, Mr. Letterman." I simply say, "I understand Mrs. Copelin. I'll see you after class." Jai began to laugh and Sariah looked back at me with a sad look on her face. I just looked back at her with a calm disgusted face. We finish going over our math syllabus and then class ends and I meet with Mrs. Copelin after class. "Hey D, I saw what happened. I know that you've been with her for a while now and that has to hurt. I won't give you detention but make sure that it doesn't happen again." I give her a hug and a quick thank you as I run out of the class. Headed to Human A&P which I have with Zuri. Find that weird but I'm sitting at the back of the class because as you can see I don't like to be the focus of attention. Zuri makes her way to the back of the class even though the front is where this girl has always sat. To be the front of attention. But okayyy. She came to sit by me and hit me with a fist bump and I politely hit her with one back. She looks at me and says, "Be ready after lunch, I got sum to so show you." I said, "Ight bet." Mrs. Rupee starts calling roll and then class starts. Easy first day and she lets us out the class early. I head to go put my books and stuff in the lockers for lunch and guess who pops up at my locker, Sariah. She says, "Hey, I'm sorry about what happened. I know about the rumors they pass around, and they might be true but you know I always will love you. You can't change the way I act." "I'm watching your every move always, I haven't caught you since the first time and I had enough faith in my heart to forgive you. This time that shit really hurt. I deadass was crying on the way to the restroom man." I capped but had to make her feel like shit. "I'm sorry, you wanna go to lunch and talk about it?" I said, "Nahh, gotta meet someone by the graveyard. We can talk later." She walked away and I headed to the graveyard. Zuri saw me crossing the road and yelled at me. "D, come here.", she yelled from her 2019 Chevy Malibu. I hop in and she said, "I'll drive us over there and we can talk about this shit." I said, "Sounds good." We pull up to the little spot by the graveyard where they turned an abandoned barber shop to a lil chill spot. A lot of people don't come here, mostly it's only me and some of my friends. And Sariah sometimes. Usually never tho. We go in and no one is there. So we head to the drink room and there's a couch in there so we sit down. "So what's up?" I say. She says, "Man this right here is some bullshit. How can he do me like that?" She gets up to lock the door. For what reason, I don't know. But she did. But she proceeds to say, "I gave that boy my all. He ain't gave me shit but I love his ass. Not a single time has he taken me on a date to go do anything. All the money my mom and dad gives him, he blows it on weed and shoes. Like I don't know what to do." I say, "I know how you feel. I've given this girl my last penny when I needed it more. She's got the money. I don't. But that's the only thing I think will make her happy. So that's what I do." She said, "Damn... you're such a good guy but she uses you for her advantage." I then say, "I know. But it's just so hard to let go of something you truly love.." and start to fringe in the face. I put my hand over my face in grimace as I felt a tear come to my eye. I wiped it away so she would think I'm a baby. "D, I've always known you to be one of the most shyest and quirkiest people ever. You are just showing me a different side and I'm not accustomed to it." "Yep, that's what happens when your heart is torn to pieces and you're just not the same anymore." I say. She moves from the swivel chair to the same couch as me and wraps her around my shoulder and says, "Im always here to talk if you need me, I've always avoided you because my friends would call you lame but I'm seeing a different side of you that I wouldn't see from the common man. I like it." I look her deeply into her eyes and ask, "Thank you. I don't have anyone to talk to. I'm always alone. Sariah is all I got. And it seems like I can't even trust her with my heart anymore. Just tired of being hurt." "Well don't feel alone, I'm here look at me!" She grabbed my face and pulled it close to hers. She gazed deep into my eyes as I did the same, she grabbed me and hugged me. I said, "Let's go." as I began to grab my bags but she pushed me back into the couch. She said, "Where are you going?" "Back up to the school, why you ask?" She pulled me and pushed me on the couch. She leaned over me and looked me right in my eyes. She pulled my face to hers and starting kissing me. She transitioned to my lap as we started to kiss even deeper. I pick her up and then we move to the counter. Then I hear a door open. I don't bother to pay attention, I know that it's just one of my homeboys so I continue macking down. She stops kissing and begins to hug me and start to cry. Then my homeboy Matt walks in and sees both of our shirts on the floor and basically the most popular girl in school topless. He says, "Wrong time. Hit you up after school bro!" I say ok as he closed the door. I pick her up off the counter and then we sit down on the couch and I ask what's wrong. She says, "I felt meaning in that. Nothing unlike Jai. I felt actually loved." I said, "Damn. I really felt the same way." She looked at me with a smile all the way back to her car as I locked the door to the chill spot. I hop back in her car and we drive back to campus. As I'm about to exit her car, she pulls me back in and we kissed for about 5 more minutes after that. She then hugged me and said, "I'll see you later love. Just hit me up on insta. You got it ❤️." as she kissed me one last time. I hop out her car and head to PE. I see Jai walk by knowing he saw his girl's lipstick stain on my neck but I guess not. Wow. This day took a turn for the weird.
