Finding Yourself

XI

Keeylah Mason.

Carter dropped me off at my locker and walked off with his friend to their locker. I smiled at his retreating back, and opened my locker up. As I was putting my backpack away, I felt someone clear their throat. I turned around and scrowled.

"Yes, Dezianne?" I asked.

She cracked a small smile. "Dont start with this, Key. I wanted to say sorry for that rude text conversation."

I sighed. I cant stay mad at Dez. We been best friends since diapers and I wasnt gonna tell guys tear us apart. But I wont associate myself with a thot, Uh no. hunny. Imma tell Dez how I feel and I hope she doesnt get offended.. this time.

"Its cool or whatever, Dez. But You need to stop thottin. Its the little things Ive noticed and me, trying to be a good friend is helping you fore it gets worse." I replied, while closing my locker.

"and I totally get that. I promise to stop thottin and being the good ol' child like you." She said and shifted her binder at her side.

I nodded and surveryed her outfit. She looked decent today. She had on a some thrashed jeans, a white tanktop and some white converses on. Her hair was straighted and she had little makeup.

"Yesss Key, I stamp on everythannng!" She squealed and came over hugging me.I accepeetd the hugs like ol times.

This was very petty and Im glad we got past this.

"So whos locker you put yo stuff in? I asked as I noticed she just only had her binder.

She blushed. I knew what that meant. "Oh da dude?" I asked. I stopped in the middle of the hallway and waited for her answer.

"Nobody special. Just DeeDee." She blushed again. "Wait a min... DeeDee?? As in DeeDee the kingpin????"

She nodded her head while I stood there shocker asf. DeeDee wasnt bad or anything.. its just that well... he sells drugs and Dez knew good and well if her momma found out she was with a kingpin, she would get that ass TAPPED.

"My mom dont need to know. She too busy with her lil hubby anyways plus DeeDee isnt all that bad.." Dez answered all the questions in my head and then some.

"Okay girl. Long as he dont pull some. We good." I shrugged. As we were walking, Carter was coming up to me with Freddie and Seiko. Messiah was probably with a broad cus thats his favorite pastime.

Holy s**t, Seiko was coming.

I looked over to Dez and she gulped.

"Lemem re-route my ass back to class. Cya, shawd." and with that Dez turned the other hallway down to class.

I smacked my teeth when Carter came over.

"What was that all bout? Carter asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I think shawty left cus of me." Seiko shrugged. I nodded. "Yup."

"Yall coool now?" Freddie interjected.

"Yeah she JUST apologized a few mins agoo. So we good, i guess."

Everyone nodded. "You still coming to the party with me and Seiko? There bout be to hella thick strippers and bitches popping puss-

Carter cleared his throat and I felt him staring down at me as I glared at Freddie.

"Nah, Freddie continue." I glared at them.

Seiko whistled and looked at his imaginary watch. "Hey, look at the time, Its time for me to get to class." and the next moment, he wad kicking dust down the halls.

Now, Freddie was standing there looking hella stupid and Carter tightened his arm around me as if he was begging me to chill.

"I think Im okay, Key. Thanks for asking." Freddie smiled then slowly backed away from the circle and soon was also kicking dust.

I removed Carter's arm around me and looked at him.

"You can explain now." I sighed.

Carter poured out. "We was planning on going to this party way before we started dating and I was gonna tell them I wasnt gonna go bur I kinda forgot, sorry baybeh."

The way he said baybeh was really what made me smile. Plus i believed him so It was all good.

"Okay lets go, the bell abouta ring and we dont need to be late... again." He grabbed my hand and we dashed to classroom, moments before the bell rang.

As we sat in our seats, Perry and Kennedy snickering and staring directly at me. It was quickly getting annoying. So as soon as Ms.Simmons was speaking, the staring and snickering continued. As soon I heard my name and Carter's, I knew they were talkiing mad s**t so Then I just went off.

"Perry, b***h stop staring at me like I got some s**t on my face and Kennedy, b***h dont you have Corey Pullins d**k to ride or something?" I yelled into the now quiet ass classroom.

As I started to realize, I finally blew my cool and i allowed them. Ms. Simmons raised her eyebrow as she was walking to her desk, Carter looked at me and mouthed.

"You good?"

I nodded and mouther back. "Yeah."

Ms. Simmons apporached my desk and slapped a sheet of paper on my desk.

"I wont tolerate this ever again, Ms. Mason. Dont interrupt my class or you will have to receive the consequences."

I nodded and I read the red warning sheet of paper. I put it in my binder and tried to calm down as Ms. Simmons proceeded with class.

Dez poked me and asked the same thing Carter asked me. I nodded towards her too. She probably could tell I wasnt becuase my skin was hot and I felt like hitting someone. Everyone knows I have anger problems and just as I was slowly getting rid of them, People do some s**t to get me mad again.

After class was over, I went over to Keeylah to make sure my future wifey was okay.

"Baby, you didnt look so good in there. You SURE you okay? I could talk to Perry if you want me too.." I asked as I finally reached her and Dez's conversation.

She giggled. "Im fineee, foreal foreal."

I nodded and greeted Dez. "You get a girlfriend and now you cant even holla at a b***h no mo'?"

I smiled. "Sorry but you needa holla at a nigga first, I dont text first."

Keeylah looked at me. "Dont lie, n***o. You steady texting me first."

I pouted. "You werent suppose to say that, baaaaybeeee. Im suppose to look like a hard nigga, got me over here looking hella soft."

She pinched my cheeks. "Im sorryyyyyy."

"Nah I gotchu. I aint texting yo ass first no mo'."

"Hahaha alright." She smiled.

"uh huh. now I gotta catch up with Freddie, Siah and Seiko, Ill see you at luncch righhht?" I questioned.

She nodded and I walked the other direction to my class, thats when I saw the most shocking thing.... ever.
