CHAMPIONS

Episode Four: The New Guy

Symone:

My recurring dream finally stopped and another thing that has stopped is in the past 2 months I've haven't talked to Rodney as much as I would like. Like a fresh bruise on my chest, it wouldn't leave me. Valerie had full control of both guys and either of them knew what mastermind they were dealing with. Valerie continued doing what she does best, which is making me feel like I was nothing. I gave in eventually, stop trying to defend myself, and kind of started believe what she was saying. Rodney would attempt to talk to me but it wasn't the same for some reason.

Erika suggested that we go to the cafeteria for breakfast to just talk and eat. And since I've been on a hiatus with Rain, I agree to go with them. We got our breakfast and took a seat at one of the tables in the lunchroom. "So Symone when you gonna hook up with somebody, I mean you're in high school now stop being so uptight." Winter says smiling. In my mind, I'm thinking is this girl crazy so what if we're in high school? "I'm not that kind of girl Winter, you know that" I say to Winter taking a sip of my orange juice. "That's even more of a reason to do it" "Winter really? Come on" Ericka says. "What?" Winter says looking at both of us. After hanging out in the cafeteria, we decided it walk around the school. "Why are walking around again?" I say to Winter and Ericka. "Well I'm not sure if you see what this school has to offer" Ericka says smiling at a very cute guy while we are walking. We were laughing and talking so much I forgot we were even walking. We stop at a bench in the school to sit before the bell rang, in front of a group of guys. "You see that one is mine" Winter says waving to a guy in the group. It was kind a funny seeing how thirsty Winter is, but in the mist of the guys talking a rap battle began. Winter insisted on getting a better look at the guys rapping so we became combined with the new group that was forming around the guys. "Dressed in black cause it's about to be a funeral, just because she dressed in white doesn't mean she can save you from what about to do you angel, I know this nigga hungry for bagel, I know this nigga aint tasteful. So it's only right that I smack him with my right hand. Yall didn't catch that my last name wright so it's only right that I smack him right hand. My rhymes so hot I got bitches doing handstands, while we on the subject when's the last time you did handstand, I wonder if you can even do running man. Okay now enough about you weight, let's get back to you weak ass bars that used as bate. so I could battle you saying shit like "I rap like... or I'm better than" that's the shit that get you bodied man, dumped, then sell parts of your body to a foreign land. Now I know you're scared, 'cause that's type shit that get you running man." One guy says rapping against other guy in the group. When he said "she dressed in white" I looked down to see that I was wearing basically all white and he pointed at me too. The guys went back and forth rapping until administrators came around to break up the rap battle because the bell rang.

I took a seat and 1st period right before the late bell rang. Class started and Mrs. Reese began to introduce a new guy to the class. "Hey everyone settle down, and says hello to your new classmate, Shawn Wright. I realized that Shawn was the guy back from the rap battle that included me in his rap. "You can take a seat right there next to Valerie, Shawn." Shawn took his seat and Mrs. Reese went on to the vocabulary terms for this week. "So Symone I bet it took a while for you to fit in those jeans right? You look like a big ass bowl of milk." Valerie scoff at me. "Oh I bet you feel squeeze up huh? Those love handles girl you..." "Can you shut your stick figure looking ass up like damn I trying to go to sleep" Shawn say interrupting Valerie from creating a joke to say about me. "Umm excuse me who you think you're talking to?" Valerie says giving Shawn the stare of death. That's at least what I call it when she looking at me. "Is everything ok here" Mrs. Reese shouts out. "Mrs. Reese I don't know what's gotten into him" "Shawn It's your first day so I'll let you off with a warning, don't disrupt my class again" The class whispers ooo's into the air. Shawn sucks his teeth and sets his head back down on his desk. It happened, and no it wasn't Rodney and it wasn't even someone I knew. It was a complete stranger, and I didn't even ask him to do it. I stared at Shawn for a while, it confused me. Why he would stuck up for me?
