Blind (Mindless Behavior)

When We First Met

*Jacob*

I didn't really believe Lee when she said she was fine but I decided to leave it alone. I walked to my first period, Biology. My boys Craig, Chresanto and Raquan were already in there acting the fool.

Ray-Ray was the first to notice me. "Aye, what up man?" he asked. We all did our handshake and I sat down across from Prodigy. Me and the guys could sing and dance. We called ourselves Mindless Behavior and hoped to get famous one day. Craig was Prodigy because this dude could pick any dance in two seconds. Chresanto was Roc Royal, he could rap. Raquan was Ray-Ray, he was mostly known for being a prankster. And me, I was Princeton. I'm  pretty smart (not as smart as Lee) and I'm a hippie in a sense.

"Where were you?" asked Roc

"With Lee"

"Oh the brain. How is she?" asked Ray-Ray

"Fine I guess. There was a little situation but we fixed it"

"What kind of situation?" asked Prodigy

"It was about Amber"

"What about her?"

"She said that Amber doesn't like her and makes fun of her when I'm not around. She was really upset"

"Have you talked to your girl about it?" asked Ray-Ray

"Not yet. Should I?"

"Yeah. Find out the problem" said Roc

"He's right. You never know what could happen" said Prodigy

I'll talk to her later. There has to be something wrong, if Lee looked that hurt. I don't want to ruin my relationship with either of them.

"Hey, you remember when we first met Lee?" asked Ray-Ray

Flashback

It was back in sophomore year and by this time, Lee had already made the decision to distance herself from Princeton in school to "help him maintain his image". He tried to tell her that he didn't care but she wouldn't listen. Around this time, he was already friends with the guys.

*Ray-Ray*

"Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes coach" me and Roc said at the same time

"Good now get out of here"

We walked out of his office and walked towards the cafeteria. 

"Man, how are we supposed to raise our grades in time for next season?" he asked me

"I don't know but we gotta think of something quick"  I said. I was not about to get kicked off the football team, so I needed to figure out a plan fast.

In the lunchroom, we met up with Prince and Prodigy at our usual table in back near the windows.

I plopped into a seat and laid my head onto the cool surface. Roc did the same but fiddled with his lunch. I was so bummed, I didn't even bother to get any food and today was TACO DAY. That's how you know something is wrong.

"What's wrong with the both of you?" asked Princeton

"Coach threatened to bench us if don't get our grades up before the season starts" I said

"I warned you. If you did your work, instead of chasing after every girl you saw, you wouldn't be having this problem"

"Tell us something we don't know" mumbled Roc

I held my head my hands. "We need a miracle" 

I looked up and Princeton had this weird look on his face and he was staring at me and Roc.
