Just Another Secret.

Chapter 71

Kahlil

When I get to school I'm getting the dirtiest glares ever.

I roll my eyes and march up to Keisha at her locker.

She jumps when I tap her.

I take a huge step back. "I'm sorry."

When she really looks at me she looks relieved. "Kj told everyone you ruined our date because you're stalking me and beat on him because you're a jealous lunatic."

I walk past her without a word.

A few moments later Wayne and Tyrel drag me to the floor.

I don't speak.

"You know, when you get really pissed your eye twitches. And I'm not down to fight again. My hand is still healing from when I docked you," Tyrel says.

"So, how come I can't just talk to him?" I try to reason with them.

"We know you can't control yourself when it comes to people who do her wrong. And you are swimming today. You are not sitting in the office today," Wayne says forcibly.

They both got the arms locked with mine and legs over mine.

"Boys, what are you doing?" The principal walks by.

Before we can respond, Keisha walks up to him asking to talk privately before class starts.

Keisha

"Keisha, let's make this quick I have a few meetings today."

I take a seat and breathe.

"I don't feel comfortable around—"

"I completely understand. You shouldn't worry. Today is a swim day. He shouldn't be in last period—"

I sigh. "I'm not talking about Kahlil."

"Then?"

"Kj. I'm not comfortable around Kj."

John is silent for a few moments. "Keisha, what's going on?"

"Last night Kj forced himself on me and they boys delt with him accordingly."

"Where?"

"Funko's diner. Just off the highway. The boys were just trying to calm Kahlil down. That's why they were on the floor. Kj is spreading a bunch of rumours and I can't take it anymore."

"I want to help, Keisha, but I must say I cannot go far with witnesses that are close to you."

"Wayne's sister and Porter worked last night."

"I'll see what can be done. Now you may get to class."

"I called," Tamera looks to me when I get to class.

I lean my head down on my forearms. "Keithan dropped me off."

"Is he picking you up?"

"No..."

"Keisha, are you still—"

I turn my head to the side and look at her. "I'm not and was never mad at you. I didn't get a wink of sleep every time I close my eyes I feel his hands. I feel his lips. And I just feel completely helpless."

My eyes water and I put my head back down.

I hear a chair pull up. "Hey Keisha—"

"Kj, go away," Tamera sneers as I take a few deep breaths.
