April
Today I am going to see Khalil. I don't know how I am gonna explain what happened that night and how we should be friends.
James doesn't know Khalil and Khalil doesn't know James. I don't trust him brcause he was the player of high school.
Everyday he would have a different girl walking under his shoulder. The ex-girlfriends would look like they were crying. Even Olivia dating him.
FLASHBACK
"What happened Liv ?"
"It's Khalil."
"What he did ?"
"He left me."
"Why ?"
"Because h-h-he said that we weren't gonna work out."
"Don't worry. You will be fine. Did you have s*x with him ?"
"What ?"
"Did y'all f**k ?"
"Yes."
"That's why. You gave him some, so he done."
"I guess you are right."
The next day, I noticed Khalil walking down the hallway towards my direction. So he think he can use Olivia. He can't use me. I ain't that dumb.
"Hey beautiful."
"You can try but it won't work."
"All I'm saying is hi."
"Hi. Bye."
"So Khalil can get a chance with a beautiful girl ?"
"Nope. Anything else ?"
"f**k you too then bitch."
I don't care. He tried but it didn't work. I hope he enjoys being turned down.
END OF FLASHBACK
Then my phone ranged. It was Khalil. I took a deep breath before I answered the phone.
PHONE CONVO
"Hello ?"
"Hello April. Haven't heard from you in a while."
"I was busy."
"You can say that."
"What you mean I can say that ?"
"Don't worry about that. So can I pick you up ?"
"Yes. And hurry up."
"Don't tell me what to do."
"Boy, bye."
END OF PHONE CONVO
I checked myself in the mirror and admired myself. I didn't know I was looking like this meeting Khalil.
I put my white spagetti strap shirt with my army fatigue leggings and my black high top converses and let my hair down.
A horn beeped 3 times meaning it was Khalil. I walked downstairs to meet James. Oh boy. Here, we go.
"Where you going ?"
"Out."
"Alright. Be back soon."
"Ok."
I walked outside to Khalil dark black SUV. The windows looked bullet-proof but were tinted. How can he see out of that ?
"Hey Khalil."
"Hey beautiful."
"Don't try that on me."
"So I can't say hi ?"
"Ain't nobody say that. Now can we go ?"
"Yes."
We made it to In-And-Out in a blink of an eye. Well from my point of view. I wasn't caring about nothing right now.
We got our tables in the back. There were hardly any people there. everyone was in the front.
"Khalil. Do you like me ?"
"As a matter of fact, I do."
"As a friend or girlfriend ?".
"Friend."
"So who is the lucky woman ?"
"You won't believe me but Olivia."
"Olivia as in my Liv ?"
"Yea."
"We can't be friends. Sorry."
"Why not ?"
"Becuase you were the player in high school. Remember you had every girl in you arm except me. Why. Because I was smart. You even played Olivia for Pete's sake. She told me you had s*x with her and left the next day. You are nothing but a pest so don't ever say nothing to me again."
With that being said, I walked out. I called a taxi and they took me home. Olivia, watch you back. I'm coming for you. Expect the unexpected.
I got home, James wasn't there. Weird. I was gone for an hour. I sprinted up the steps to meet Olivia. She looked like she had no care in the world.
That's when it all went down.
"Olivia what is wrong with you ?"
"What ?"
"So you being dumb now ?"
"No. What ?"
"I heard you with Khalil again."
"So. And ?"
"And. What you mean and ? You told me he used for s*x and left you coldy the next day."
"But April, he is sweet. He told me he changed. He acts nothing like how he use to."
"Oh and don't come to me when he breaks you heart."
I walked out and sat on the couch downstairs and took a deep sigh. All of this in a day ? I was about to fall asleep but someone called. What now ?
"Hello ?"
"Yea April. I'm in jail. In DC."
