The next day I felt better. I had to pep myself up for the day by telling myself he was just a guy. I’d done it before, so why was I stressing?
It seemed to work. I hadn’t seen him yet and I was hoping we could keep it that way.
“Damn Angel! Why’d you have to go and dump my homie like dat? I looked at Tyler with a mean glare and put my locker combination in.
“You know what Ty, it might just do you some good to start minding your damn business” I grabbed my Trigonometry book and slammed my locker shut.
Tyler and Eric had always been bestfriends. Even though I couldn’t stand Tyler, even I had to admit he was pretty funny.
“C’mon man. He was stressin!”
I looked away from him and focused my attention on the crowd that was coming down the hall. I knew exactly who they were, the Basketball players.
“Well your boys are coming. I better go” I tried to walk around him before being noticed, but it was just my luck to be put on the spot before I could do so.
“Angel, stop!” I paused and cursed about twenty times in my head before turning around.
“Ugh! What?”
I turned around only to be met by those sexy brown eyes. I was trying to think of something bitchy to say like I was good at. But instead, I was tongue-tied.
“We need to talk.”
“No WE don’t need to do anything. You can do whatever YOU want. But WE? There is no WE!”
He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the crowd and over to the lockers. I jerked my arm away from him like I was mad, when in reality, I was ecstatic to be near him.
“What’s the matter with you? Huh? How the hell did you whole attitude change yesterday?”
“It didn’t,” I said in an almost whisper and looking down to the ground “I was just-“
“What?” he said cutting me off.
I shot my eyes back up to him and was immediately angry.
“Well maybe if you let me get my damn answer out!” I said yelling.
“What can you possibly say?”
“Oh don’t go there. I can say a lot”
“Like what? Go ahead and tell me how much of a bitch you’re being”
“Fuck you!” I screamed and walked away.
“Woah, woah, woah! Slow down” My bestfriend India said when I bumped into her.
“My bad” I mumbled.
She gave me a weird look and then pulled me into the bathroom. When we got in there she stood in front of the mirror and began checking her curls.
“So I guess the rumors are true then huh? You dumped Eric?” She said digging into her bag for her spray. She pulled it out and began spraying her curls. Then she came over to me, and started spraying mine.
“Ya” I said.
“You have to stop doing this Angel, Its getting old” She said putting the spray back.
“What the fuck is everyone’s problem? Damn it! Its my life and If I choose to dump somebody, why the fuck is it the end of the world for everybody else? God!” I left out of the bathroom and headed off to 1st period.
