One In A Million

•|Chapter 6 |•

Really?

Jacob is becoming a nuisance. He always pops up whenever I try to talk to Aaliyah. Also, I can never make plans with her because she's always doing something with him. It's becoming really aggravating and I'm getting real tired of biting my tongue.

"And then the dude just proceeds to stare at me after I caught him..like what the furk dude?" I roll my eyes after saying the memory out loud.

"...He wanted you to suck iiiiiittttttt. Nah but I'm pretty sure the boy wanted them digits....should've gave it to him. Get you a boo." Aaliyah laughs and tilts her head towards me. "Being in a relationship is-"

"wonderful if you've got the right one for you." Jacob walks up and stands right in the middle of us before kissing her on the forehead. "Hey baby.."

He never fails to amaze me with the stuff he does. That was blatantly disrespectful.

I step to the side looking him up and down before closing my locker and walking off to first period.

" Wait, Leah!" I hear Aaliyah yell after and footsteps coming up behind me. "Where you going?..We were having a conversation."

".....Class." I say it with a straight face and point my thumb behind me.

"Why?...It's not like you're going to be late." She furrows her brows and slightly tilts her head to the side.

"Oh..I just want to be early." I give her two thumbs up and force a smile. "Ya know..the early bird gets the worm!"

"...Did you leave because Jacob walked up?"

"Look fam. There's Tommy. Tommy..Hey!" I change the topic, yelling and waving at the kid across the hall.

"I don't really care about Tommy at the moment. Why don't you like Jacob?" She stands directly in front of me and holds eye contact.

"Bruh. When I get out of school, I'm going to furk the dollar menu up. " I continue to ignore her questions and I dance a little.

"Leah! Talk to me!" She puts her hands on my cheeks and pushes them together.

"...Nah." Just then the bell rings, so I wave and run to class.
When I walk in, that kid Elijah is seating in my seat. I've got to admit he's pretty cute. I might just hop on that.

"Wassup homeboy? You're in my seat." I stand beside him and put my finger on the desk.

"Oh, word? I didn't even know that." He looks up at me and smirks but doesn't attempt to move. He pulls out his phone and scrolls through twitter.

"...yeah. So could you like get up? Please?" I motion for him to get up with my finger.

"I mean I can....but I don't really want to. " He laughs a little and scooches down in the chair putting his leg on the seat in front of him, pulling his hood over his head.

"...Why people want to test my gangster today? Like what did I do to deserve this?" I act like I'm sobbing and sit in the seat beside him before putting my head down.

"Dang shawdy you mad?" I hear him get up and stand near me. " Why your leg shaking?" He speaks into my ear. I feel his breath on my neck and it makes me feel some type of way.

"I wouldn't be if you got out of my area." I sit up and push him away.

"You don't even have to be like that." He goes back to his seat and puts his head down leaving his phone unlocked on his desk. I pick it up and see he's on Snapchat. I take a picture and put my name in the caption before putting it on his story. Then I add myself before putting it back on his desk.
Ms. Cole then starts yelling about something so I put my head back down and try to go to sleep. Which I did with success. Forty-five minutes later the bell rings for us to go to lunch. I walk there slowly, obviously in no rush.
When I get there, I sit down at the table and pull out my phone. It's not long before Aaliyah sits down in front of me coughing to get my attention.

"Leah. Let's talk." She take my phone and puts it face down on the table. I look up and go to grab it but she smacks my hand.

"What you want to talk about?" I cross my arms over my chest and lean back in the chair.

"Why don't you like Jacob?" She sits her bookbag down and cross her legs.

"He's annoying as hell...sorry." I bluntly say, slightly shrugging. She looks a little hurt but I mean she asked.

"How is he annoying?" She look around the cafeteria probably making sure he isn't around.

"Really? He has you tied around his finger, Aaliyah. How can you not see that?" I lean forward and shake my head. "Whatever Jacob says, you agree. If Jacob doesn't go, you won't go... "

"....That's not true." She starts picking at her finger, seeming a little nervous. "I'm my own person. I do as I please." She stutters over the last few words.

I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest. "Oh come on. If you were your own person you would've went to that party last weekend but no "BooBear" didn't want to go so you didn't go even though you wanted to.And whenever I try to make plans with you, he finds a way to make plans the same day. And you always hang with him because he persuades you to do so. So you cannot sit here and say that." I exhale deeply and stare at her as my leg begins to shake. She doesn't say anything so I keep going.

"Another thing. He's rude. We can be talking and he'll just walk up and steal the show. And you don't even say anything about it! I know you notice it too! But you're not going to say anything because you don't want to lose him. He's your first boyfriend and you want to hold onto him as long you can. It's all good, boo." I laugh a little. " I understand." I put my hands in the air and nod my head.

She shakes her head and laughs before looking up at me. " You're just jealous..."

"Nah, never that. I'm actually glad you found someone for you and that you're happy because that's all I want. But he's changed you. I mean I just want the Aaliyah I knew back." Just then the bell rings, so I grab my phone and walk out of the cafeteria.
When I look back, Aaliyah looks glum and her eyes are glossy. I sort of feel bad but I said I wasn't biting my tongue anymore. It feels good to know I got it off my chest.

When I got home that day, Aaliyah texted me.

heyy...I totally understand where you're coming from. I'm sorry.- Read - 2:32

..no need to apologize. Read- 2:35

She read it and didn't reply so I took a nap because I was tired from lifetime wellness.
When I woke up it was about 7 o'clock, I unlocked my phone and saw I had a lot of notifications from Snapchat.
I opened the app and saw a lot of people added me and that someone had snapped me with the username: kingEli_.

I opened it and it said "my story♥♥". I smirked to myself and twerked a little.
thanks boo.
so I'm yo boo nah?
nah, fam. it's not een like that.
..you my boo though;-)

I smiled but didn't reply after that, I just locked my phone and went back to sleep. Today has been crazy as hell.
