Because I Can :) *9*

After she cried and pleaded me not to tell anyone I finally gave in. I feet so bad for telling her I wouldn’t say anything but I knew I couldn’t put up much of a fight. From what Nikki was saying Ronnie was dangerous. I felt like I was assisting him in some kind of murder even though Nikki said it would blow over. I wasn’t buying nothing that chick was saying but I was going to lay low right no for awhile until I figured out a plan to get her out of this relationship. This what you called pussy hooked. And that he was.

----------------------------------

“So you been with Nikki all this time?” Ro said as I walked in a little after 11 o’clock at night.

“ Yea Ro. I wasn’t with no boy so you can calm down.” I said.

“ So why you wasn’t answering yo phone or nothing’ then. I’m not stupid.” he said.

“ Ro, I left it here. My home girl was having some problems I needed to be there for her on this one ok.” I said with no expression. This little accusing game was getting old. Either he trusted me or he didn’t.

“ Not ok. I come on to a empty house. No letter, no missed calls on my phone to tell me where in the hell my 16 year old sister is at. Its 11 o’clock Ke’lyla!” he said in a bombing voice looking at me. Great, now this kid is calling by my full name again. He was pist but so was I. I wasn’t lying this time.

“ Ro I was at Nikki’s house. She was having some problems. I was being a good friend.” I said as calmly as I could.

“ And you couldn’t call and tell somebody. How did you get there anyway?” he asked as if he knew good and well I wasn’t at Nikki’s.

“Trey.” I responded folding my arms.

“ Yea ok… it still ant no excuse.” he said fussing about all this stuff I’d heard before. I just went in my room and rolled my eyes. He got the hint and shut up but he just fixed him a PB&J sandwich and went to bed.

I may have bad ways but one habit I stuck to that my mom had always told me to do. Pray So next I said a silent prayer.

“ Lord, please help Ro to learn and trust me. I am trying to get myself together. Please pray for Nikki and pray that Roonie doesn’t hurt my best friend….Oh yea and Lord is it possible that I get to meet the man of my dreams. Not like all the other boys but someone that’s genuine. That’s it. Amen.”

Just like that quick, simple, and straight to the point. The ending part was secretly wishing that dude Zay would come around. I smiled at the thought of that fine thing and closed my eyes.

More Drama started the moment I got to school Monday. Marcus and Chance came up to be babbling about some girl name Trina talking been talking mad shit about me. More Haters. I always loved to meet my haters I mean they were my biggest fans. So me being me I just had to meet this girl.

“ So where is she?” I said enthusiastically. Yea I was cocky and it really did irritate people who didn’t like me to see me speak to them and smile in their faces.

“ Man, I don’t know this girl is new. She hang around wit them hoes Jasmine and Ni-Ni” they said shaking their heading like this was a big deal.

“ So she new, what she look like?” I asked.

“ Yo’ this girl right. She fine as hell even when she was talkin’ all that shit about you. She giving you competition Keke.” Chance said licking his lips.

“ Please. This can never have competition.” I said turning to give a backside view. Chance tapped it.

“Man, I don’t know she might give a run for your money Keke.” he said looking at me. What!? Wait who was this bitch? This shocked me.

I saw Nikki. She was laughin’ with white girl, Debbie. She was black in our eyes. She was so cool and country as ever. I walked over to them.

“ What’s up?’ I said hugging Debbie then Nikki.

“ Nothin’ much gurly.” she said in that powerful country accent.

“ Yea, yall heard of some new girl name Trina.” I said getting straight to the point.

“ Yea, you talking bout yo newest fan.” Nikki said rolling her eyes. I nodded.

“ Yup, but I ant seen her.” Nikki said.

“ Oh, I know she new right.” Debbie chimed in.

“ Yea.” I responded.

“ Oh yea, she came in last block Friday talking to Mrs. Rosey.” she said.

“ So she that new.” I asked.

“ Apparently, she kind of reminds me of you.” she said

“ Oh yea.” I said looking at Nikki.” she must look good then.” I laughed. Truthfully I wasn’t to comfortable with this wannable coming trying to take my place at this school. I mean she’s new and she already coming with fake mess.
