Kentrell Gaulden
"Why do they even hang with him?"
"I know right. He's weird."
"Why do he have all those dents on his head. He looks like a potato."
"He looks like a gangbanger."
"Why do he have all them tattoos on his neck."
This all I heard as I walked down the school hall. I would do something to these hoes but Ian trying to go to jail again.
"Kentrell!" I heard a familiar voice yell behind me. I turned around only to see Leah. Everyone stopped looking at me and looked at Leah.
"Eww why is she talking to him. He's probably homeless and some more stuff.?" Someone said loudly. I guess Leah head because her smiled dropped off her face. Leah turned around and looked at the girl with a disgusted look.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Leah walked up to the girl until their noses were touching. The girl looked scared but she quickly covered it up.
"You heard me bitch. I said-"
Before she could even finish Leah bashed her head into the lockers. Before she could do anymore damage I picked her up and walked outside the back of the building. Once she calmed down I decided to speak up.
"You know you didn't have to do that right." I looked down at her short frame. She just shrugged her shoulders and sat down on the black bench.
"I know. I just hate when people talk shit or judge somebody they don't even know." She looked down at her shoes. I continued to look at her, mostly her features. Her big brown doey eyes and beautiful tan skin. And her long curly hair that reaches her mid back.
"Thanks for doing that. Even though you don't know me like talm bout." I said shyly.
Before she could reply the office made an announcement asking for Leah to go to the office.
"I'll see you around lunch." Leah smiled at me before leaving me standing there looking stupid.

Ta'Leah Jackson
"So what happened in the hallway?" Ms. Green, our highschool principal, ask me as I picked at my nails.
"Well that little girl over there-" I pointed at the girl that held her head with a ice pack, "Was picking talking about my friend. So I did what had to do."
The principal stared at me in disbelief before clearing her throat. "So that's why you hit head against the lockers?"
"Oh and she called me out my name too." I added with a fake smile.
"That was uncaused for Ms. Jackson. You have two days of morning detention starting tomorrow." She wrote down on a piece of paper. I rolled my eyes and got up from my seat.
"Can I leave now?" I huffed tapping my foot against her carpet.
"Yes. You are dismissed." She nodded her head. I quickly made my way towards the lunch room and sat down at our usual table. I didn't even bother grabbing a lunch plate.
"So what happened?" Jania looked at me.
"I got into with a freshman because she was talking too much shit for my liking." I shrugged my shoulders.
"About who?" Kd popped a grape into his mouth.
"Kentrell." I mumbled looking over at him. He looked at me before looking back down at his phone.
"I think Leah likes Kentrell." Boomer teased. Kendell laughed loudly looking at Kentrell. Kentrell mugged him and took a bite of his pizza.
"No I don't." I scrunched my face. I don't even think Kentrell considers me as a friend.
"You sure?" Three smiled at me. I rolled my eyes and grabbed the apple sauce off of Ben's plate.
"Stop touching my shit." He bucked at me as I grabbed a spoon.
"Boy shut up." I rolled my eyes and took a scoop of my apple sauce.
"So did you get in trouble?" Kentrell looked at me.
I smiled at him before replying, "I got two days of morning detention."
"You saw how she was just mugging Ben then when Kentrell asked her something she started smiling." Boomer told Three while pointing his black ass finger at me.
"Where Baby Joe at?" I tried to change the subject.
"He suspended." Jania looked me up and down but I didn't pay her no attention.
"What he do?" I looked around the table waiting on someone to speak up.
"He slapped Mr. Stucker." Kd said in between laughs, "He knocked the man glasses off his face."
"Damn." I said as I watched Kd laugh even harder. He started to lean on Three still laughing.
"Move bruh. That shit ain't that funny. What if I knock yo' glasses off yo face?" Three shoved Kd off of him. Kd quickly stopped laughing and mugged him.
"Bitch I don't even wear glasses no more." Kd said.
"I don't give a d-"
"I gotta go yall." Kentrell stood up and put his phone in his pocket.
"Whea' you going?" Jania spoke up. Everyone stopped and looked at her.
"Somewhere." Kentrell mumbled and left out the cafeteria.
