Finding Yourself

XII

Carter Thompson.

     I looked over to see Perry and my “supposed” nigga, Freddie kissing all over my ex. Like damn. I cleared my throat and I saw the two lovebirds turn around with both shocking expressions on their faces.

Perry quickly smirked and put her hands on her hips.  “Hey Carter.”

I looked away from her and looked to Freddie, caring for an explanation. He shrugged.

“I was gon tell you that me and Perry are like a thing… later.”

“How long has this,” I pointed between the two.  “Been going on?”

“Just 2 weeks. It’s not that big of a deal if you ask me.” He shrugged once again.

“….Right.” I turned around the corner and headed to my third period. I turned around one more time to say one more thing.

“Oh and yall should of done all this sucking lip s**t in a more private area. This s**t is disgusting.”  I turned around again, not bothering to look at the expression on their faces.

I heard feet running towards me. I turned around to see Perry. 

“You could of still had all of this, babe. But of course you wanted the dumb w***e so sucks for you.” She came a bit closer.

I closed in the gap. “Do you even like Freddie?” I could of swore Perry liked bitches.

She shrugged. “Are you jealous?”

I shook my hea

I pulled away in disgust and turned around, walking in a faster pace than before.

As I walked into my 3rd period Math, I sat down in the back and slouched.

Lots of s**t had been on my mind and for me to see my supposed best friend kissing on my ex hurts. Yeah, me and her are over, but you never lose feelings for some of your exes, ya feel me? It takes time and Perry really f****d our relationship real bad… with a b***h, matter of fact. So you know ya girl cheated on you with a b***h hurts, man.

   Messiah walked in the room and sat in the desk next to me.

“Wassup, cuh?” He said as soon as he sat down. He dapped me up.

“Nothing much, bruh. But Ya know Freddie and Perry, a thing now?” I shook my head in belief.

Messiah had the same expression I had when I saw them together. “Even after the s**t she put you through, tho? Man that’s that 50/50 shit.”

“I know. Like niggas don’t do that but it’s cool or whatever. They can have each other, s**t. I aint trippin.” I replied.

Messiah nodded. “Plus you have fine ass Keeylah. s**t, nigga you should of tapped that ass long agooooo. If you didn’t, I woulda been next. Shiiiiit.”

I started laughing. Messiah a fool and he knows it.

The bell then rang and Mr. Pullins came into the class and started teaching the bullshit that I have to learn to be able to do s**t I wanna do. What does this have to do with basketball??

  “Gurlll. Drea coming down here. Its about a be life in the Mason Householddd!!!” Dez started clapping her hands while putting her backpack away. I started laughing.

“The Three Musketeers about to be reunited, girlll.” I flipped my hair on the other side and closed my locker.

She nodded in agreement. “..so wheres ya lil boyfriend.”

I shrugged. “Ion know. I’ll probably text him or w.e.”

“True. So Imma see ya tomorrow. DeeDee coming to pick me up.”

I stopped in front of the exit. “DeeDee.. is coming to get you?”

“Yeah.” Her phone binged as she pushed the doors open and I quickly followed behind.

“Dez, to be honest.. I don’t like the vibe of this dude. “ I said as we jogged down the stairs.

Dez turned around and huffed.

“Don’t do that huffin and puffin, girl. DeeDee isnt someone to play with and Im just saying.. you have a smart mouth, like me, but DeeDee don’t work with that and I just don’t want you to get hu-“

“Im. Fine.” Dez reassured me.

“Do this dude even go to school?” I said, ignoring her last remark.

“He has a job so..” Dez quickly typed something on her phone and put it back in her pocket.

“Not answering my question but.. ok.” I already knew my answer.

“Plus DeeDee like 21 and-“

“Im fricking okay, Key. Stop treating me like a little baby. God.” She pulled a strand of her hair under her ear.

I put my hands in defense. “Whatever.”

My phone started to ring and I took my phone out of my jean vest pocket. It read
