Shantii's outfit in Visual .

Shantii

It was lunch time again and everyone was seated at the table with their bags of goodies. I was talking my head off with the girls, we were just laughing and chilling.

Jaylon, Ja'Quinn, Trey and Devonte was saying some lame shit that was making all of us bust out laughing. Right in the middle of dying laughing, here comes Heaven.

As soon as she came to the table, she looked at me then Jaylon, and how close we were to each other. He had his arm thrown around me while I ate.

"Ha, how funny. One day you're accepting some other nigga phone number and then turn right back around and fuck with this one the next," she said, pointing at Jaylon.

I blinked, genuinely confused.

Jaylon removed his arm from around me and I looked back at him and saw his face expression. He was hurt.

Why?

He actually believes her.

"Girl take your lying ass back there," Makaysia said.

"Lying?" Heaven repeated, bringing out a piece of paper that had a picture of me on it. It was the waiter handing me the receipt at the burger place.

I started laughing.

"Bitch you're plain stupid. Take your home wrecking ass back over there, always trynna destroy what you can't have," Sharanda said, popping her knuckles.

"Look baby," Heaven ignored her and shoved the picture to Jaylon.

He looked at it before shaking his head. He pulled completely away from me and I looked at him like..are you really going to believe her over me?

I grabbed the picture again and you could see the waitress smiling at me while I turned, you couldn't see my face expression but I'm sure I was rolling my eyes.

He was handing me the receipt while I reached over and grabbed it.

Heaven had a satisfied look on her face.

"I'm not about to waste my time to convince you that this bitch is clearly lying. If you really think I did that, then that's on you," I shrugged, speaking to Jaylon.

"How could you do this to poor Jaylon?" she asked, before rubbing Jaylon's hair.

He grabbed her arm, and pulled her down to where she was kneeling besides him.

He started squeezing the shit out of her arm. He was going off, cursing her out and explaining how he didn't want her in depth. His voice was low but I heard it all.

Heaven was on the verge of crying, and I could see his words really hurt her. I started to feel bad but all that came to an end when I seen what she did next.

She leaned in slowly and brushed her lips against his, I looked at Jaylon waiting for him to pull back.

His eyes widened as I waited but he just stood there.

I saw her flick her nasty ass tongue in his mouth, and he still stood there as if he was frozen.

"Are you serious right now?" I asked him.

I laughed lightly and turned back to my snacks. I dug in my bag and munched on some Doritos.

Keshina rubbed my back. I looked over to her and turned back. I hated how my eyes filled with tears and though I tried to will them back in, a few slipped down my cheeks.

I wiped my eyes, packed up my lunch and walked out of the cafeteria.

I hope he enjoyed it and I really hope it was worth it because I'm done. I think the reason he froze is because the feelings he once had for her were rushing back when she kissed him, and that's totally fine.

She can have him, she won.

-------------------------------------------

When school ended, I rushed to my car. I was ignoring the girls, and I know it wasn't right but I just didn't want to sit there and hear their attempts to comfort me.

I don't understand-

never mind.

All niggas are the same, period. I put the key inside the ignition and raced off. I went to a place I always went to to clear my head. I parked into the small parking lot of the mini park. I walked out and swung on the swing for a little bit.

I couldn't believe he just stood there..I mean come on.

Even if his feelings were beginning to rush back, he could've saved me the hurt. Why did they have to do that directly in front of me?

He had to have known I was feeling something for him.

I'll just leave him be.

I kicked the small rocks beneath my feet.

Why?

It was the only question on my mind before I made my way back to my car and drove home. Maybe I'm doing too much but it still hurt my feelings.

Fuck it. I'm not about to mope over him. I went upstairs in my room and took a shower. I used one of my favorite body washes to relax my nerves. I scrubbed every inch of my body trying to rid myself of him completely.

I don't know why I trusted my instinct and let him in because now I'm back at square one, with no one to blame but myself.

But then again..he was hurt too. He thought I accepted the waiters number. Although he should've trusted me, he did know Heaven before me so that was probably why he believed her over me.

But why would you trust a bitch who fucked your homeboy? And even if I did take the waiters number, we're not together so it shouldn't have really affected him. He acts like I did the worse thing possible. But in reality he did.

He didn't trust me.

But fuck it.

I tried. I really did but I'm back on my shit.
