"Everyone who didn't present today will be presenting tomorrow so be prepared" Mr. Chase said "you guys can just chill out for the remainder of class" he added while taking a seat at his desk
"Thank God I did not feel like presenting today" Diamond said putting her markers and coloring pencils up
"Why" I asked
"I'm kind of shy in front of people I don't know, I can have social anxiety sometimes" she said looking down at her fingers
"There's nothing wrong with being shy when I was younger I was super shy" Roxy said
"Really that's surprising" Diamond said making me laugh and Roxy flick her off "but how did you grow out of it"
"Well I got tired of getting bullied and just stop giving a fuck about what anyone had to say" Roxy replied shrugging her shoulders
"I wish I could do that, I wasn't ever bullied; just quiet you know but since it's my last year of high school I wanted to try to come out my shell a little"
"You're doing good so far" I said smiling at her
"Thanks"
"Oh my God shut the fuck up no one cares about your stupid sob stories" Sam said lifting her head up
"Girl shut up I forgot you were even there" Roxy said rolling her eyes
"Right you're irrelevant" I said waving her off
"Y'all the irrelevant ones no one knows who you are," she said pointing at Diamond "you're still the same jealous bitch from last year" she said pointing at me "and you're just a white girl who wants to be black" she said pointing at Roxy
"No one knows who you are, you're a sad, irrelevant bitch ain't nobody in this whole class want to be next to you probably because you smell like a damn fish market funky hoe" Diamond said surprising all of us including Sam who was speechless for a couple of seconds
"Whatever you...."
BbbbRinnnnngggg
Before Sam could finish the bell rung and everyone started gathering their things and heading out the door
The three of us walked out of the classroom still laughing about what had happened
"You got some fire in you ain't it" Roxy said looking at Diamond
"I just don't like rude people" Diamond said shrugging her shoulders
"Oh well this is my class right here I'll see y'all at lunch" Roxy said walking into a English class that wasn't to far from the class we were in
"See ya" I said and kept walking with Diamond beside me
"So what are you going to be doing after high school" diamond asked but I was already at my math class door
"College, not really sure which one yet though, I wanna get to know you more too but this is my class" I said pointing at the door
"Okay, well can I get your phone number and I can text you" Diamond asked
I was a little unsure because I usually don't give my number out, she must have noticed the uneasiness on my face
"If you don't want to its fine"
"No it's cool give me your phone please" once she handed it to me I put my number in "I'll put you in a group chat with me and Roxy, See ya later"
"Kay see you"
I walked into class and took a seat near the middle of the classroom
I pulled my phone out and texted Roxy to let her know I was going to add her to the group chat
The class I was in had a lot of people I'd never seen before, the only face I remembered was Amber she was the girl that gave me that horrible card last year; she must have recognized me too cause she came and sat infront of me sadly
"Hey, you're Anna right" she said
I took a deep breath and looked up from my phone "it's Alaina"
"Oh yeah, I remember but I don't really know anyone this year all of my friends last year were seniors or they just aren't my friends this year"
I wonder why I thought to myself "aw that sucks" I said nonchalantly hoping she would turn back around and leave me alone
After a few more failed attempts to try to talk to me she turned around and the teacher walked into the classroom
"Good morning class, I am not having a very good day so I will have none of the nonsense you'll be sent to the office quick, fast and in a hurry. There are worksheets under your desk complete them now because they are due after class" Mrs. Greene said "the worksheet is not a high grade I just want to see where all of you are at right now Andy questions.... alright get started"
I grabbed my worksheet and started to complete it, it was basic math questions and equations. After about twenty minutes I was finished with the worksheet, so I pulled my phone out and started texting Roxy and Diamond in the group chat.
Group Chat:
Diamond 💎: Chemistry is the worst class ever I'm def not passin 😑
Roxy🦋: nah this English class is bad. she wants us to read five novels by the end of the year 😣
Me: well my class is okay I finished the worksheet now I'm just chilling 😝
Diamond: lucky duck
Roxy🦋: no one asked you Alainaaaa 🖕🏿
Me: 😂😂😂
Diamond 💎: jealousy
Me: right but tell me why Amber called me Anna🙄
Roxy🦋: that one girl from last year the captain of the debate club?
Me: yeah her I guess her friends got tired of her and dropped her so she turned around asking if i wanted to be her friend
Roxy🦋: aw you're making friends 😭
Me:😑😑
Diamond 💎: so confused
For the rest of the class me and Roxy filled Diamond in on the things that happened last year, if Diamond turned out to be like Sam or Chynna I would be irritated but I'm only telling her what I want her to know or what everyone already knows.
So if she does go blabbering her mouth off to everyone then I won't be affected.
"Then shawty was sucking my dick and when I nutted she kept going, I was like yoo son get off my dick I almost slapped the fuck outta her" Dashawn said making me and the class laugh"Nigga you dumb as hell" I said shaking my head"Dawshawn Micheals front office now!" Ms. Stevenson yelled"Awe come on mane" he groaned throwing his hands up "gimmie another chance""I don't want to hear it, get out or will buzz the office and have you escorted out" she said pointing to the doorHe grumbled and started packing his things up"Damn man on the first day" I said laughing"Shut up man ill s
"Yo I'm telling you Ms. Stevenson is gone be trouble for me this year I can feel it" Dashawn said popping a French fry in his mouth"How can you feel it when you was only in her class for what ten minutes" Cam said laughing"Yeah so she sent my ass out that class in ten minutes no warning or nothing just get out""What did you do" I asked"I was using my right to freedom of speech"Everybody burst out laughing, Dashawn is such a clown"Y'all laughing but I'm forreal the commandments say thou shall have the freedom to talk how thine please" he said making us laugh harderI wiped my
I walked into the girls bathroom or should I say my girls bathroom because once I walk in every girl knows to walk out, at least that's how it used to be until the fight I had with Alaina; I lost all the respect I had and a lot of girls don't fear me anymore. They only get scared when I have my girls behind me, but when I'm by myself they laugh in my faceI took a seat on the bathroom counter waiting for Tanaji, Tamara and Sam to walk in; the door opened and some girl walked inI looked at her and realized she was the girl who was sitting at Alaina's table and also the girl who got out of Cams car just morning"Hi" I said when she got out of the stall and came to wash her handsShe nodded her head at me and kept doing what she was doi
I was so happy when I noticed that third period was about to end because I didn't know anyone in that class."Hey" I heard a voice say I looked up from my phone to see Chynna standing over my desk, the shirt she was wearing was so tight and small I thought her boobs were going to pop out and hit me in the eye.Even though I wasn't here last year and don't know the full entire story about her and Alaina's beef, I still didn't like her. I hate bullies, because my cousin killed herself a couple of years back due to these girls cyber bullying her daily for no reason.I leaned back in my seat and looked at her "what do you want"She faked like she was hurt by my words "I don't even know you sweetie and you're being so rude" she said puttin
"Mi favorita colore es blue, how you say blue again" I laughed at Dashawn who was presenting, everybody had already presented; and Dashawn wanted to go last"Class how do you say blue" Miss Sanchez asked"Azul" the class yelled at Dashawn"Oh okay mi favorita colore is asul and I'm eighteen how you say eighteen""Bobo go sit down" she said shooing Dashawn away"What bobo mean sexy or some" Dashawn as he walked back to his seat"What bobo mean" he asked again"It means clown" I said laughing at him"Oh damn she trynna roast a nigga
The McDonald's was packed with kids just getting out of school and it took us fifteen minutes to have our order taken. When we finally did we got our food and found a booth near the restrooms"Thank God" Diamond said as she took a bite out of her burger"Right, next time we need to come early" Alaina said while dipping her fries in mustardI scrunched my face up at the sight and pretended to gag, Alaina rolled her eyes at me"Shut up Roxy, mustard is good"I shook my head and squirted ketchup all over my fries "naw that shit nasty it look like vomit""Are you team ketchup or mustard" Alaina asked Diamond who was dipping her chicken
"You were supposed to be here at 2:35, it's three thirty; where were you" my grandma asked when I didn't respond she kept talking"I told you I was going to play Bingo with Sheryl now you made me miss it. Here get him" she said handing Princeton over to meI held him in my arms while I finished up on my homework "grandma I texted you and told you I would be home late, I didn't know I would be home this late" I said rolling my eyes"You don't need to be staying out late anyway, once you have a child that staying out late card is revoked""Okay grandma I get it, I have him now you can leave" I said not waiting to hear what she had to say"Don't tell me when I can leave, this is my hous
"I don't even know what I'm going to wear tonight" I said while rummaging through the clothes that I had thrown on the floor"What's wrong with the outfit you wore to school" Cam said through the phone.Me and him were on FaceTime after helping him with his homework and talking for a bit;I started getting dressed for the dinner with my dad and his girlfriend tonight"No it's a dinner Cam, I want to make a good impression""Why, she the one who gotta make a good impression not you""I guess, but I still wanna look nice" I picked up a black mini skirt and pointed it at the camera for Cam to see"Yeah wear that"
Alaina I know you're mad at me but I was not trying to hurt you im omw to Candies so we can talkI tossed my phone into the passenger seat, basketball practice had ran a little late but if I drove fast I should be able to make it to Candies before her shift endsI started my car upI hope she just hears me out and know I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her, shit is fucked I told Roxy to talk to her but no she wanna release tapes and shitI thought to myself as I drove thank God there was no trafficFifteen minutes later I pulled up to Candies, the place was mainly empty besides a couple of cars in the backthe must be about to close I walked to the door and pulled it openThere was a girl mopping behind the counter and I could hear another person doing something in the back of the shop"excuse me"&nbs
"Chy everyone is watching that video of the lez lovers" Tanaji said laughingWe were sitting in my room after school, me sitting in the middle of my queen sized bed and Tanaji sitting criss crossed on the floor "I knew they would, I'm just suprised I didn't catch the lesbo vibes those two were throwing" I said while picking up my nail filer"right who would have thought... oh my gosh look" Tanaji said while hopping up from the floor and showing me her phone "I sent the video to this guy that goes to Penbrooke High and he posted it on PornHub it has two thousand views already"I raised an eyebrow and took her phone to check it out myself and sure enough "High School Lesbians making out in School bathroom" had 2,000 views "maybe we should send this to their parents to let them know that their children are stars"Tanaji smirked "maybe plaster the link all over the school halls so the whole s
I tucked my phone back into my pocket Diamond has a sonI can't beleive it I thought to myself"Um Alaina it's just one scoop of pistachio"Sydney said while holding her gloved hand out to meI scrunched up my face for a second then realized I was supposed to be getting the ice cream"Sorry" I said to the customer as I put on my gloves and grabbed a cone, I looked around for a second looking for pistachio"Right there" Sydney said while pointing out the green ice cream"Thanks" I said while grabbing the spoon and scooping one spoon full.I passed the ice cream to Sydney and she passed it to the customer "have a nice day" she said with a smileOnce the customer walked out of the door Sydney turned to me "are you okay"I slipped my gloves off "sorry about that, my mind was somewhere else for a minute""I could tell girl, I called your name three times, is there anything I could do to help" she sai
"What do you have to say for yourself lil girl" my grandma saidI sighed.

I buy him diapers, food and clothes ON TOP OF THAT IM TAKING CARE OF YO BEHIND AND YOU AT THE DAMN SCHOOL ACTING A FOOL" she yelled"I'm sorry grandma" I said for what felt like the hundredth time "it won't happen again, it was just a stupid dare" I lied while looking back down at my math homework"I don't care what it was Diamond you shouldn't have been kissing any damn body, lil fast ass need to get your education and take care of your child. Matter of fact get up and get dressed" she saidI closed my math book and sat up on my bed "why""Cause you getting a job to help out around here, not just finna be sitting on yo ass while work and take care of you and your child. You got five minutes to get up and get dressed imma
Diamond and I had to sit and wait until after school so that Mr. Burns could meet up with our parents"You guys can go to your lockers and grab the rest of your things and then come straight back here" miss secretary said I had no idea what her name wasMe and Diamond both stood up to leave out of the office"If you're not back here in five minutes you will have extra days added on to your suspension" she said as we walked outI rolled my eyes I wish the fuck you would add days"If she add days on I'm dropping out" Diamond said jokinglyI nodded "hell yeah, where your locker at again""Mine is down this hallway you wanna split up, grab our stuff then meet back here""Yeah we can do that I know my dad gone be here soon and I'm finna take my time ion care what she talking bout" I said while turning down a hallway opposite of Diamond"You better not take more than five minutes or that's yo ass Mr. postman" she yelled behind
"Okay first thing you do when you come in is clock in, I know it seems obvious but you have no idea how many people forget to clock in and get mad when they don't get paid for their hours" Tamara said while typing something in to the clock in padI was at Candies and after changing into my uniform Malik picked Tamara to train me because he had to step out for a bit.I nodded my head "okay""So all you have to do is put your thumb here then press clock in easy peasy"I did as she said "and when I go on break I would just put my thumb here then click go on break" I asked"Yes you got it, but make sure when you get off break you remember to clock back in so it doesn't dock your pay""And I definitely don't want that I'm trying to save up for a car""I feel you girl, I've been saving up to pay for my college books.

"I was born in Philadelphia but we moved here when I was in the eighth grade" I said to Alaina we had finished the worksheet and now we sat waiting for the bell to ring"I think I remember when you guys first came to the school, everybody was talking about y'all because you guys were like the first twins we ever had here""That's so crazy cause at my old school there was like two other sets of twins there, but it did make me feel special" I said smiling at the memory, the first day my sister and I came everyone was trying to be our friend"What's it like to have an identical twin" Alaina asked"Well it used to be really fun we would switch places soo many times, my teacher would ask my mom to staple our names to our shirts so she would know who was who; but we would just switch shirts in the bathroom" I said laughingAlaina laughed too "If I had a twin whenever I got in trouble I would say I'm my sister""Oh my gosh this one time my fi
I can't believe Cam would tell Dashawn, but not meI thought to myself as I walked the halls not sure on where to go. I know I shouldn't be mad at Cam because I know he wasn't trying to intentionally hurt me, but it just feels like everyone is keeping secrets; everyone in our group knew but me and that shit hurtsI walked to my English class and leaned against the wall waiting for the bell to finally ring.I'm soo ready to leave this raggedy ass school, but how the heck am I going to get to Candies ugh I need a carBRRRRIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGThe bell rang snapping me from my thoughts. I walked closer to the door as the class started to leave out
I didn't want to go to the cafeteria because I knew all eyes would be on me and I did not feel like dealing with that, so I went to the library instead; being sure to sit all the way in the back so I was unseenI texted Cam to let him know I was having lunch in the libraryI can't believe Roxy never told me, I've talked about relationships and love a billion times she had many opportunities to tell me"Laina... Laina" I could hear Cam whisper yellingI got up from my seat and waved my hand so he could see where I was sitting, once he saw me he started walking towards me; but he looked pissed"Yo what the fuck is going on" he said
