A New Thug Love (Urban)

Chapter Four

Nicole and her grandma came over , I told Tanya to get her phone and start recording.

“Nicole?” I say.

“Yes baby,” She says.

“Get out my house, you and yo grandma,” I say.

My mama and sister was snickering.

“Why do you want us to leave young man?” her grandma asked clearly confused.

“Man I don't got time for this Nicole you and wrinkles over there get out my house, because you and me are over with,” I said to her.

“Why?” She said during sniffles.

“You a hoe, that's that, now be gone,” I say to them.

They leave. My mama was laughing and shaking her head.

“Boy you are just like yo father,” she said. She sighed and you could tell her mood changed by her body language had changed thinking about our dad beat dad. “Well goodnight you two.”

“Goodnight ma,” we both said.

I decided to text Nia she go go crazy when she find out it's me I got her number from Jasmine.

Me: Wassup!

Nia: Who the f**k is this?!

Me: Its Trey.

Nia: What do you want? I'm trying to go to sleep.

Me: I just wanted to say goodnight beautiful.

Nia: Uhh.. Thanks and goodnight to you too.

NIA

“Hey,” They all said.

I just walked passed them I wasn't in the mood for nothing. Then I felt somebody grab me then I turned around and punched them.

“I am so s- oh it's just you,” I said.

“Damn Nia. Why you do that?” Trey said.

“I don’t know, could be a number of things. Take it as a warning, shouldn't you be with Nicole anyways?" I asked him.

“Well let's just say you won't see her no mo-” he didn't finish because Nicole came up to us with a mad face. Her hand immediately contacted with his hand leaving a red handmark on his cheek. I stood there in shock.

“You broke up with me because of her!” Nicole screamed.

“Trust me I don't want your man sweetie!” I told her.

That's when Trey got her hand and dragged her into the bathroom.

“Best friend!” I heard Jasmine yell running.

She was coming down the hallway with the others. I hugged everybody except Vince, for some reason I didn't like him.

“No hug for me,” he said while pouting his lips. All I could do was laugh then I gave him a hug. Nicole came out the bathroom with a smile on her face. Why is she smiling? They came over to us and she kissed him on his cheek and whispered something in his ear.

“So I have to get to class I'll see y'all later, come on Courtney, bye Jas and Vince,” I said.

The rest of us have the same class first so I really wasn't surprised when Darren started flirting with Courtney and Nicole and Trey started flirting.

“So how about you sit on my lap today in class?” Trey said.

I got a text and looked at it then I froze.

Unknown: Your punishment isn't over yet!

“Nia what's wrong? Nia! Nia!” Courtney whispered. It caused all eyes to be on me.

“N-nothing,” I stammered out.

Courtney took a long and hard look at me. I was hoping she wouldn't find out I was lying and start interrogating me with questions.

This isn't over,” She said before walking off.

I sighed in relief. I look at the text one last time before turning my phone off. I was still a little off guard from the text.

“You okay?” Trey asked.

I send a glare at his direction and walk up. I'm not in the mood to talk to him. Him and his supposed to be girlfriend can go and suck a big fat--

“Nia!” He calls out.

“Why do you even care babe?” Nicole questioned.

I tighten my fist and walked to class. They’re not going to ruin your day Nia. They’re not. Your going to be as happy and excited as you was this morning. Instead of going to class on time I went to the bathroom and to calm myself down. I didn’t need to bring out my attitude on everyone else, especially the ones who did no harm to me. I close the door behind me and look in the mirror. I fix my ponytail and my makeup, well eyeliner. I then heard the door open. I turn to look towards the door and the person I hate the most is there. Smirking at me. b***h.

“Are you mad at Trey boo?” She asks.

Trey boo? What kind of nickname is that? I force a smile on my lips.

“No. Why would I? I was just a little cranky from lack of sleep” I lie.

“I was just making sure that you wasn't jealous" She says.

Wait. Hold up. Press pause. Rewind. Press play. Did she just say jealous?

“Jealous? Of what? Trey?” I ask.

“Of me and Trey,” She says.

I chuckle a bit. She glares at me and steps forward.

“What's funny?” She asks.

“The fact that I would be jealous of you two. Girl you have your priorities mixed up because I'm never jealous of anything. Especially anything that has to do with you, get out of your delusional world and take a step into reality,” I say stepping forward also.

“Oh please! Stop with the lies. You want my hair, my body, my looks, and my man,” She says.

“Let me correct you. Hair? You must mean weave. Body? You must mean w***e body. Your looks? You must mean your plastic surgeries. And your man? You must mean your boy. He's nowhere near a man,” I say.

“Well you wish you had my man,” She says.

I kissed my cheek and shook my head no. “You see Nicole, if I wanted Trey I could get him. But I'll let you two live your fake happily ever after,” I say winking at her. Okay, that was a lie I will admit. I could never have him. I'm not his type. I walked away from her leaving her speechless. When I walked in class I was late.

“Miss. Johnson your late,” the teacher said.

“Mr. Ford you see it's this hoe I know and she asked me this morning was I jealous of her and her “boo” for a minute. I'm fuckin cool now that I think about it. I'm not his type because he only like unprofessional girl’s or should I say thots and hoes! I guess you were right Nicole!" I say bringing the attention to her. Everyone began clapping.

“Yass b***h yass!" Courtney exclaimed.

Me and Courtney did our handshake then I sat down next to her then I got a message from Trey.

Trey: Why you say that Nia?!

I didn't even respond, I looked back and smirked.

“Um, well Nia. I didn't know you cussed or could stand up for yourself. Instead of two hours I'll give you a hour of detention,” Mr Ford replied.

“Well thank you,” I say sarcastically.

“Very funny Nia,” Nicole whispered.

I just smirked. Nia: 1 Nicole: 0.

“We're still calling your parents for your very inappropriate outburst,” He says.

I roll my eyes and I could tell Nicole was smirking. I turned around and smirked back.

“I wouldn't be to happy about that,” I tell her.

“And why is that?” She questioned.

“Because I'm not the shy, quiet girl any more if you couldn't tell. And I'll flame your ass right here, right now. So I suggest you shut your fake ass up," I say fake smiling.

“Ms. Johnson, I'll add 30 minutes to your detention if you'll like,” He says.

“Well Mr. Ford I'm sorry but if this one hit wonder says anything smart to me I have no other choice, but to respond back with something smarter and better,” I say smiling at him.

“Wow you've changed in 24 hours Nia. I wonder what brought you out your shell,” He says.

When I think about it, I have the same question too. How did I become the loud smart ass girl that could finally stand up for herself and show who she truly is.

“Yea me too Mr. Ford,” I say before writing in my journal.

Courtney is smiling at me and giving me a thumbs up. Can you believe it? Nia Johnson, me is standing up for herself instead of sitting in the back being the quiet girl? Two days ago I wouldn't even believe I did this stuff.

*Lunch time*

“So Nia what made you change all of a sudden?” Heather asked me.

“I really don't know, I guess I was getting sick and tired of people messing with me,” I said.

“Oh. My. Gosh! Best friend you really did that today?" Jasmine asked sitting next to me.

“So you heard?” I asked her.

“The whole school did!” She said.

Then Courtney came up to us she looked real mad.

“What's wrong?” I asked her.

“You didn't see what those bitches did?” She said.

I followed where she was looking at. She was looking at Darren , Trey and Vince with pure hatred. I got up and went to where Vince and Darren and Trey and Nicole and her followers were sitting.

“You can't si-” the b***h said.I put my hand in her face ignoring her.

“So care to explain to me why my best friend is looking at y'all like she about to kill y'all?” I asked them.

“Nobody ain't do nothing to her she need to chill with that, all we did was beat up her brother.” Vince said nonchalantly.

“Why the f**k y'all do that? Look y'all don't know what happened to Court-" I was cut off by Courtney.

“Why y'all beat him up Darren and Vince?” She said loud so the whole cafeteria could here her.

“Man you need to chi-” Trey said then she cut him off.

“Shut the f**k up Trey, you don't know what I been through! I'm only acting like this because my brother is the only one I have after my parents and grandparents died...We're in a foster home now it isn't like y'all would care y'all just thugs aren't y'all! Y'all don't care about nobody!" She said that walking out of the cafeteria

“Darren she really liked you, she even wanted to go with you but I guess she is right. Thugs don't care about nobody except for they self,” I told them.

“Courtney! Courtney!” I yelled for her.

Darren POV

“You idiots!” I yelled.

She actually liked me back. And I let these idiots ruin it. I let them persuade me into doing something that would hurt her feelings. And those jack asses were the cause of it.

“What? I didn't do anything. And it's not my fault,” Nicole said looking all innocent.

“You're a slut. Don't talk to me. I don't care if Trey likes your ugly ass or not I'm not going to show you any respect. Go suck d**k b***h. Isn't it what your here for?” I say.

“Aye chill out,” Trey said.

“What?! Are you gonna fake protect your girlfriend!? Nobody is falling for it! You only like her for s*x and her ‘looks!’” I yell.

He looks taken aback by my comment. But he can't get mad. It's true. He's a f*****g liar and fake b***h. And he's going to have to handle the truth.

“Don't talk to him-”

“Shut up Nicole before I get Nia to beat your ass again!" I yell cutting her off.

Courtney p.o.v

“Courtney!Courtney!” Darren yelled.

I ignored him till he ran up to me and grabbed my arm.

“Courtney can we talk?” He asked.

I rolled my eyes and looked at him. I hope he knows he can’t just talk his way out of this. It’s my fault also thinking that someone like him could also like someone like me, after all he is a ‘thug.’

“I'm so-” he was saying till I interrupted him.

“Yea I know your sorry,” I told him as I rolled my eyes.

“No I mean it Courtney,” he grabbed my hands and locked his eyes on mine. “Look I have been having feelings for you ever since the 9th grade and I really like you. Look I didn't want to beat him up ok, and I know once you turn 18 they kick you out the foster home so can you come and live with me and be my girl? I know that a sorry isn’t gonna fix everything but I hope it's a start” He said

“Hmm...I guess I can,” I say.

I kissed his cheek then he rolled us over and he was on top of me then he kissed me.

“Awwww!” I heard Nia and Jasmine say. I started laughing at them. I looked back at Darren and smiled, maybe we can make this work.

Nicole p.o.v

“Awwww,” They all screamed.

I looked over Trey shoulder and I saw Darren and Courtney kissing and laughing. Ew! There a couple now? That's just sick! The best couple here is me and Trey Trey. We always been and will.

“But back to what I was saying. You stupid ass nigga! Why the f**k would you do that? Are you slow in the head? Are yo-”

“Don't call him that,” I told Nia, standing up for my boyfriend. I don’t get why she thinks she can talk to Trey any kind of way. She just came into the picture anyways.

“b***h don't you ever cut me off in yo lifetime if you want a lifetime,” She threatened narrowing her eyes at me.

I scoffed at her and gave her an eye roll. She may think she scares me just because she won that little altercation. I do not want to be here. Not with her of course.

“Can we leave?” I whispered in Trey's ear.

He actually took my hand in his, it took me back a little since he usually snatches it away.

“How could you let your friends threaten me like that,” I say pouting.

“Well it wasn't really threatening. Half was the truth and half was threatening,” He said.

I frown. “So your saying that everything they said was true?” I ask.

“Well, to be honest with you, it is,” He says.

I gasp. Is he serious? He has got to be kidding.

“Whatever!” I say rolling my eyes.

“Stop acting like a b***h and get in the damn car,” He demanded.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“To drop your ass of at your house,” He said.

“Your no fun baby, don't you want to do something?” I lean in to whisper in his ear. "A little more fun,” I told him as I grabbed his d**k. I began kissing his neck since it usually gets his d**k hard, but nothing happened.

“No,” He said.

“Why not?” I asked.

“Because I don't f*****g want to Nicole,” He said. I could hear the irritation in his voice. This was the first time he has ever turned me down, I couldn’t believe it.

“Well I'm breaking up with you,” I told him in a teasing way.

“b***h we were never dating,” He said nonchalantly.

“What?” I questioned.

“Your just my s*x buddy. Get the f**k over it,” He said. He got in his car and started it leaving me there stunned. A few seconds later the window rolled down, “you getting the f**k in or not?”

Vince p.o.v

“Stop hitting me Nia, ight I'm sorry, damn!” I said.

She stopped hitting me then that's when Trey came back texting on his phone.

“What you doin?” I asked him.

“Texting Tanya,” he said.

I seen Nia roll her eyes. I whispered in her ear. “Jealous much?” I asked.

“Jealous? I could never be such a thing," she said.

I could tell she was lying so I messaged her.

Me: Its just his damn sister calm the f**k down.

She looked surprised then she started smiling I messaged her again.

Me: Don’t even think about it!

Nia: It was just a thought...

“Well I gotta get to class, and I have detention...y'all go wait on me?" Nia asked.

“Nah,” we all said in unison.

“f**k y'all to then,” she said and walked away.

We all said bye but my main hoe messaged me and I couldn't pass her up.
