The New Girl

Chapter 3- Adapting

We pulled up to my dad's 4 bedroom house that only him and Lonnie lives in. It's huge. I never understood why he got this big house for just them two but I already have a room here for when I visit so all I have to do is unpack my things from my mom's house. Lonnie & my dad grabbed my luggage while I ran to the kitchen for a bottle of water because it's so HOT outside! After they finished loading my bags into my bedroom they both went to the workout room and told me to go get ready for the mall & movies. I went upstairs, took a shower, and changed into my white bodysuit I bought from my mom friend who owns a boutique back at home. I started unpacking a little bit while FaceTiming the group chat to show them I made it safe and to tell them what my plans were for the day until Lonnie interrupted by busting in my room over excited to go shopping. "Cmon Lay you can dead ass hit them later we haven't saw you in forever they're buggin" he said forcing me down the stairs. "Okay byeee love yall" I expressed while blowing kisses to the camera. On our way to the mall I saw a tattoo shop that I can't wait to visit because I'm an addict!! But as we shopped around, we definitely had a nice time and everyone hands were full with shopping bags. I finally got the pink Balenciaga's I've been wanting since sophomore year but I couldn't find them in Ohio. We headed to the movies just to get stopped by a big red sign reading "Closed due to COVID" so we went to Texas Roadhouse instead. My favorite restaurant. My dad takes me & Lonnie here everytime I come down. Besides that wonderful reuniting with those two, my day has been kind of long so I was a little exhausted and my first day of my new school starts tomorrow so I'm bout ready for bed. First day of my junior year & Lonnies first day of senior year. We are back home and I've never been more excited to get in the shower and go to bed. After showering I unpacked the rest of my things & climbed into bed. I hear a knock on the door. "Come in". "Yo you down for a 2k match or ya tryna sleep ?" Lonnie asked. "I'm really tired jr, I promise after school tomorrow". "Fasho goodnight noonie". Noonie is the nickname they've called me since a baby. As Lonnie left out I checked my phone and saw a message from my first love that read "Ik you prolly sleep lay butt cus you start yo new school tmr but I'm missing you like crazy dude on god you bet not forget ab me blood & if you get a boyfriend I'm coming down there with da gang 😈🔫" Rashaad was literally my first everything and he was always there for me when I felt like I didn't have nobody but he's in a gang that I always tried to get him out of but he just won't. He have shot someone before and been to jail but that's not exactly why we broke up, we broke up because he is kind of abusive. If I talk to anybody else he will put his hands on me. He always tell me I'm better off being gay because he's the only boy I can fuck with. But anyways I replied to his message with "I'm up but I'm about to gts I miss you more and how could I ever forget ab you shady? I ain't looking for no boyfriend lol gn crazy I'll text you in the morning killer" and after I sent the message I fell asleep.
