Best friends

Last Period of the Day

Angie POV
"What the hell. Why do you let him do that."
Ugh. I hate Ryan. I don't know why, but he is able to control Melody. Not control her but touch her. She doesn't say anything but she does try to get away. I guess she does that because they were a thing in 7th grade, but still that's the past.
"I don't know. I guess it cuz I secretly want him to do that. Or cuz he wouldn't do that when we were together. I don't know."
"You need to let him go. Many guys would want to do that to you. You don't even like him, right?"
"No. I don't."
"Melody if..."
"Let's not talk about this. Let's think about what we are going to give the people who just moved in across the street."

"Alright."
She does still have feelings for him. But there is someone else and I need to find out who very soon. So Ryan can stop thinking that he owns my best friend. If you own her you basically own me. This is a package deal.
"We should bake cookies, when we get home."
"You mean my home. Not yours mine."
"There's not a difference. I'm there all the time."
She right she is. Pretty soon my mom going to give her a key to my house. Smh🤦🏽‍♀️.

"Angie."
"Yea."
"I think Alex is really cute. And I can't stop thinking about him."
I knew she liked someone. But I didn't expect it to be the new guy. She doesn't know him. But she can get to know him. And plus this is great. It's a big upgrade from Ryan to Alex.
"Stop it."
"What?"
"Bitch, I know what you thinking. And I agree."
"You don't even know, what I was thinking."
"If I guess it right, you have to bake the cookies while I watch."
"Fine."
"You were thinking that I upgrades from Ryan to Alex."
"No I wasn't." I say trying to hold a smile in.
"I know when you're lying." Melody says laughing.

"Excuse me. Yes you two, do you guys want the attention." Ms. Kuper says.
"I really don't like attention, but I get it anyway. So it doesn't really matter whether the class attention is on you or me." Melody says.
This girl going to get us another detention.
"Do you want a detention slip on your first day of school? I'm your last period and we get out at 12 today."
"Look Ms., I know what time we get out of school. I know this my last period of the day. And I really don't care if you give me detention. I already got one."
"Is that right? Here then, since you don't care."
The teacher goes to her desk and starts writing a detention note for us.
🤦🏽‍♀️Not again. I understand the first one but this one just too much.
She hand the sheet back to us.

All detention slips are excused the first day of school.

Wtf. I'm so confused. By the looks of Melody's face, so is she. 
"Why are you doing this?"
"Because I know you're good kids. I've seen you two help a lot of people in the hallway."

Melody's  POV

I look around the classroom. A lot of our classmates are nodding there heads. I mean, yeah we do help people. Like when we see someone trying to bully another person. Or like when someone drops there work in front of us we help pick it up. But still this teacher don't know anything about us, so she shouldn't act like it.
"Look Ms., you don't know us. So don't act like you do." I say, handing the slip back.
"You're right, I don't know you guys. But I want to get to know." She says handing the slip back to us.

Angie takes it from her and gives me a look that says, come on just take it we don't have to do detention today.
I give her an okay.

--beep--

Last bell. Finally. Angie and I are the first ones out the classroom. We both go looking for our friends. Though I don't think she considers Ryan a friend?. Wait, she doesn't consider him a friend. The only reason we still hang out with him is because the guys like him.
"Hey, baby girl." Ryan says walking out of his classroom with the others.

We all made it tradition to walk together after school.
"Oh, Melody guess what." Denilson says.
"What?" I ask while Denilson grabs my arm and pulls me to the side.
"Ryan, he still likes you. Like a lot."
"Aren't girls supposed to be with the drama?" Angie asks Denilson.
He just stares at her with the "I'm gunna hurt you", look. It's actually pretty creepy but what can I say this how we know Denilson is Denilson.

"Do you still you still like him?"
"Well,---"
"No, she doesn't." Angie says.
"Can you let her answer!?."
"Well, honestly I don't."
"So you're over him?"
"Yeah, do you not understand English.!" Angie says.
Denilson just stares at her again with a. I don't even know how to explain his face expression. All I got to say is if looks could kill, Angie would be dead lying on the floor.

"Can we start walking?" Ariel ask.
"Yeah, we on our way." I say nodding at Angie and Denilson to start walking. The tension was really strong. Almost scary.

As we start to walk out the door we start going into our group order. Denilson, Selvin, and Ariel in the front. Angie and me. Luis and Tito. And Terrell and Ryan. Terrell and Ryan are always the first two to go. Then it's Luis, Tito, and Selvin. After them it's Denilson and Ariel, but today they decided to walk us.

"So Melody?"
"So Ariel?"
"Who do you like? Since it's not Ryan." He ask. I look at Denilson who gives me the "I tell him everything" face. I shake my head at him.
"Why does a girl always have to like someone?"
"Ahh. She answered a question with a question she definitely likes someone." Denilson says.
I smile and shake my head.
"Tell us, Shortcakes." Ariel says grabbing me by my hips and pulls me back.
I push his hands away and shake my head, "no one."
"Aww, come one. That works when Ryan does it." He says.
Angie flicks Ariel in the forehead, "Nigga don't make me punch you in yo face."
"Angie, step down." Denilson says to her.
"Make me." She says getting all up in her face.
Denilson pushes her back which almost making her fall. The only thing that kept her from falling was Ariel catching her.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!" I yell pushing Denilson hard enough to make him fall.
Denilson gets up really fast and grabs my arms and pins me to a gate.

"Aye, nigga get off her!" Angie yells at Denilson.
"Let's calm down." Ariel says while holding Angie back.
"You would like to do this to me in a different type of setting, wouldn't you?" I ask Denilson.
"I'm sorry." Denilson says letting me go and hugging me. He lets me go and hugs Angie.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me." He says holding Angie really tight.

"Come on." I say to them. "Let's go inside."
"Melody really?" Angie ask.
"Yes. He needs our help right now. He's our friend."
"He's still our friend after what he did?" Angie ask, pointing and Denilson.
"Yes. We've been through a lot together. He was still my friend after I fucked beat the shit out of him, in 7th grade. So yea, we still his friends."
"Come on Denny, let's go inside." Angie says.
"Come on Ariel." I say walking into the gate.
"That wasn't fun." Ariel whispers into my ear.
"I know, but he needs our help."
