Jay's POV
I was getting tired of all that flirting s**t Jas and that nigga Tyler was doing so I asked to be excused from class.
I knew if I didn’t leave right then I was bound to snap.
I walked toward the gym before someone calling my name stopped me.
I turned around to see Kayla running towards me. I rolled my eyes.
I really aint got time for no more of her s**t.
"What bruh? Don’t you think you done f****d up enough s**t!
Jas won’t even f*****g look at me and that s**t tears me up inside knowing that the new nigga got her attention and not me. I just wanted my best friend back and you ruined my chance.
So, if you're here to try and go off some more save that s**t cause Ian tryna hear it."
Kayla stared at me weirdly then started grinning.
I know this b***h aint laughing at me.
The f**k funny?
"Bruh what the hell you grinning at? Ion see s**t funny."
"You’re in love with her admit it."
I stopped and processed what she said.
I always knew my love for Jas was deeper than a friendship level, but I didn’t want to ruin what we had. Then I ended up leaving I know that put a dent on things.
Maybe I am?
I sighed deeply creasing my eyebrows together.
This s**t hard.
"You love her, don’t you?"
"Yeah I do but she probably doesn’t want to hear that s**t. I left her. She went through a lot of bullshit I couldn’t protect her from."
"Just tell her and see how she reacts."
"Nahh I can't do it. It would kill me if she rejected me. I love her too much to ruin the bond that we have. I already trying to correct that."
"Suit yourself but you better step up before somebody take the place you want. A lot of people are noticing her and she going to be new to the attention that she’s receiving."
I knew she was right. I just couldn't face her just yet. Not with the new nigga in her face anyway.
I walked in the gym and grabbed a ball and started shooting threes.
I missed basketball season.
I might play this year since its our senior year.
Plus, it helped me get my thoughts together.
Basketball is like my therapy.
I started thinking back to what Kayla said.
She was right I was in love with Jas. I have been since the 9th grade. She just never noticed that's why I felt the need to protect her.
Now she's changed and even her clothes have changed and she's still beautiful. The same beautiful girl that’s had my attention since before she was comfortable in her own skin.
I love her for real man.
I’ve gotta have her. One way or another….
She's mine.
