Bully

Sixteen

Jhene

After the song was done, I sat down and started texting Marcus, wondring where the hell he was.

-Marcus where are you ?

Lost because you gave me the wrong address.

-I said it was 4821 River St

And you gave me 4831 Lane St.

-Oh sorry. Can you hurry and come then?

Alright.

I looked up to see Robin and Brandon dancing, having a good ol' time. Well, I guess Brandon isn't for me then.

"Come grab some punch with me." Essence screamed over the music and dragged me with her.

"What's wrong ? You look sad." she asked me as she gave me a cup.

"I gave Marcus the wrong address and Brandon isn't the one for me. I've come to realize that he is still my bully. Like why would I catch feelings for someone like him ?" I sighed and looked down. She pulled me into a hug and someone grabbed me.

"Hey man, what the--" before I could finish, Marcus was standing there in a tux. Hairline on fleek or whatever.

"May I have this dance ?" he whispered. I chuckled and I dragged him to the middle of the dance floor.

'That Thing I Like' by Aaliyah came on and started moving to the beat. He spun me around and we were just laughing.

Something about the way you smile at me

It takes away my worries and my doubts

And when you kiss me wher you kiss me

When you call my name

I get a little weak, cause boy you've got that thing

I smiled and kissed Marcus, scaring him. I pulled away and he looked at me, shocked. I looked to my left and seen Brandon staring at me while dancing with Robin.

"Jhene, everybody said they wanna go home now. What about you ?" Kiki asked me. I looked to see the squad waiting at the exit for me.

"Come on Marcus." I dragged him with me and it was chilly. I started shivering and Marcus noticed so he gave me his tux jacket.

"Thanks."

"Aye, Marcus." someone yelled. We stopped and seen Brandon running up to us. Oh, Lord here comes trouble.

"What man ?" he said, aggravated. Brandon looked at me and winked. Akward.

"Funny how you all on Jhene when she was just kissing up on me before you came." Marcus looked at me and I looked down and the ground.

"Is this true, Jhene ?" I looked around and saw the squad, watching from a distance.

"Yes, but he kissed me." Brandon laughed like a crazy maniac and I tried to walk away, only to be pulled back by Marcus.

"Jhene, you have to realize that we are not toys. You have to choose one of us."

"So Jhene, who do you choose ?" By now, I was shitting bricks. This has got to be the most uncomfortable position right about now. I sighed before I began to speak.

"Well........"
