Ralphen x Makisha

3// backstory

Ralphen's POV
I was sitting on my bed stressing out over the wall, and my hand. My hand is swollen with some bruising, 'crap' I thought. I can't believe I let Makisha get into my head, she always makes stupid remarks about thing that don't even matter. Now because of her my parents are gonna be mad at me, and my hand is throbbing in pain. My parents called me down for dinner so I made my way down the steps and lazily sat down at the table. "How was school hun" my mom said in a upbeat tone. "It's was fine.." I mumbled in response, even though that was a complete and utter lie. "Stop mumbling son, and eat your food" my dad said very firm, "Yes dad" I said nonchalantly. We continued to eat dinner most of the time it was my parents talking, and me picking at my food. "May I be excused" I said, "Yes you may" my mom replied softly; I put my plate in the sink and made my way up the steps. I got to my room and decided to put a poster over the hole in the wall, after that I laid in bed and tried to fall asleep.

Makisha's POV
I got up from my bed and walked down the stairs, my parents kept calling me down for dinner even though I'm not that hungry. I got down the steps, and walked towards the dining room table as I sat down my mom gave me a snarky look. Probably cause it took me 15 minutes to come down and eat dinner with them, but I'm honestly not in the mood to eat. "Makisha you have to eat something" my mom said firm but trying to be nice; "Fine" I sighed aggravated. I picked up my plate and put on some mashed potatoes and some corn, meanwhile my dad had been reading the newspaper since he already finished dinner. I finished my food and sighed as I left the table and went back upstairs. Once I got up the steps I remembers the stupid horrible thing Ralphen did to make me hate him, it made very angry so I decided to put on some music to cool off.

Flashback to 9th grade**
Makisha and Ralphen were friends back in 9th grade, they hung out at lunch every day. One day at lunch Makisha and Ralphen were talking about picture day which was today; "You're seriously wearing a tie" Makisha and Kira laughed. "It's the only 'formal' thing I own" Ralphen replied, they all laughed it off and continued talking. "Picture day is over rated anyway" Kevin said coincidently, "NO picture day is the best, everyone gets to look back at how good we looked" Kira said. "I mean she has a point I like dressing up nice,my cousin let me wear her dress too" Makisha said smiling; Ralphen smiled back at her and fixed his tie. Kira and Kevin continued to debate if picture day was good or not, while Makisha and Ralphen got up from the table to get food. On there way back to the table Ralphen tripped and accidentally dumped his lunch tray all over Makisha. "OH MY GOD HOW COULD YOU" makisha screamed out, either about to kill him or cry; "IM SORRY IT WAS ACCIDENT I SWEAR" Ralphen defended himself. Everyone's attention turned to them as they all laughed at Makisha. "MY COUSIN LOVED THIS DRESS YOU JERK, GET AWAY FROM ME" Makisha screamed leaving the cafeteria, "IM SORRY" Ralphen screamed again but it was to late Makisha has already left the cafeteria. Ever since that day they either don't talk to each other, or they are arguing.
End of flashback**

Makisha took off her headphones and decided it was time to go to sleep, every time she thinks of what happened that day she gets very stressed and angry. Her cousin never did forgive her for her dress getting ruined, but her cousin isn't the only one who can't forgive and forget.
