DETENTION // B.E

ELEVEN

billie

for the past few days, sage has been distant and i don't know why. she's been meaner than usual too.

i mean, don't get me wrong, she's always mean, but it's just... her.

i dunno.

"did you say anything to piss her off? 'cause you're always saying some shit that ends up pissing girls off." giovanni snorted as he laid on his bed, repeatedly throwing a ball in the air and catching it.

"no," i shook my head. "at least, i don't think i did." my brows furrowed.

"why does it even matter anyways?" he asked. "i mean, when it comes to her, you're like a lil' attention whore."

"what? no, i'm not." i denied it.

"you most definitely are," he snickered. "you didn't answer my question though."

"'cause she's my friend who's being distant for no apparent reason." i deadpanned.

he shrugged.

"anyways," i sighed. "what's up with you and uhh... what's-her-face?"

"jessica?" he raised a brow.

"no."

"abby?"

"not her."

"emily?"

"no! um... cleo!" i snapped as i remembered her name. "sheesh, you damn man whore." i teased.

"man, shut up," he kissed his teeth before smiling. "but there's nothing up with us. maybe we'll fuck, but that'd be it."

i shook my head as i rolled my eyes.

"oh, she's apparently sage's best friend or whatever." he said as he stopped throwing his ball into the air.

"deadass?" i raised a brow.

"yeah." he nodded.

i didn't say anything else. i spun around in his gaming chair a few times. "dude, i'm so bored."

"i'M sO bOrEd." he mocked in the tune of one of my songs that i had shown him.

"shut up." i laughed loudly.

"why don't you release any of your shit? you want to have a sold out tour or whatever, but you can't have if you don't have any music out."

i let out a huff of air. "i dunno. i just don't see it going anywhere."

"you're kidding, right?" he laughed.

"no."

"your music is amazing; of course it's going to go somewhere." he told me.

"i don't think so, but whatever."

[|]

"what are you doing here?"

"what, you don't wanna see me?" i gave a faux pout.

"i mean, i wish you would've let me known that you were coming first." sage said.

i looked at her outfit and bit my lip. it wasn't over the top or anything; it was simple, really. she was wearing a pair of nike sweat shorts with an oversized hoodie, along with some crew socks.

"you look good." i complimented.

"i know." she pocketed her hands before walking inside. i followed her and shut the door behind myself.
