Chapter 1 - Eye contact

Kayiara's pov

7:00 am .

"Alright mommyy ! I'll see you later !"

I said walking out the door , walking to school. It was my first day back. We in 12 grade niggaaass !

I swear to God it was like 90 degrees outside. It was hella hot out. I had my white jeaned shorts and a white crop top that hugged my hourglass figure ever so tightly . My natural curly hair was half up Inna bun and half down. I had my eyelashes on, some brown lip liner and lip gloss. My eyebrows was did, i had big ole hoops, and my perfume xand jewelry just absolutely completed my whole look atp.

I was almost close to the school, when I stopped at the sidewalk. Waiting for my turn to walk, I texted my friend, Jayla if she was at school today. She is frl my best ass friend, literally no bitch or nigga can break this friendship apart. We been through ups n down, and hella shit. And we just locked in, tight like a bootyhole they say.

Me : Aye bsf, yo ass here today ?

🤞🏾👅Jayla : I'm finna be there in like 5 minutes. Yk my momma drive hella slow.😒😒

Me : LOL, tell yo fine ass momma I said heeyyy !!😍

🤞🏾👅Jayla : Girl boo . Now if I say sumn about yo thick ass momma you would throw a fit .

Me : yea , unt unt .

I texted her untill the light said I could walk, I walked to the school and once I made it inside. I looked around, paying attention to my surroundings. Many people had glow ups this year. I was surprised.

I saw one of the girls who use to be in my class last year, she use to have pimples all ova ha face, hair nappy asfc and hella more. You wouldn't even recognize her. She was kinda cute though ngl but Ian finna start w that one.

I walked further inside the hallway, I glared to my side and you won't believe who I had seen. Azariia.

To give you some info, Azariia use to- na, still my enemy. I don't fuck with that bitch. FUCK that hoe.

Me n her use to be friends ever since middle school, untill she got a boyfriend and ain't payed no attention to me. Ever since she got a boyfriend, she slipped away. Becoming more distant as ever. And I wasn't fucking w/ that. We stopped talking, but ofcourse I got a smart mouth. Y'know how rumors spread around? There was a rumor of me talking shit about her. Gurlllaa, lemme switch that back.

FLASHBACK

11:00 am

Lunch

11th Grade

"So, I heard yo dumbass talkin bout me? Wassup."

Azariia said as she walked up to me with her dumbass friends behind her, istg they followers.

I was so heated. Ian even know what this bitch talkin bout. She just walked up to me while I was tryna finish my food.

"Girrrl , what?" I said, cracking a laugh as I looked at her. I was enjoying my lunch, and ofcourse bitches tryna start wimmie onna MONDAY.

"Do you see me laughing? I heard you talkin shit. So wsp??"

She said, tryna press df outta me. Which made my blood boil asfc.

"Unt unt, you not finna ruin MY lunch with ya bullshit."

I said before glaring at her again, with furrowed eyebrows.

"Anyone up in this bitch know, if ima talk shit. Ima say it, TO. YO. FACE."

I said, getting up from the table I was at. I already know the whole cafeteria was staring with they nosy ass. Always tryna find sumn entertainin..

"See, another thing about me. Is I don't address rumors, I don't clear rumors, because I frl don't mf care. Think what you want, and leave it at that."

I said , confronting her. And what I said was true asfc. Cause I'm not finna go clear rumors that I ain't start.

"Igh bitch."

She said as she looked me up n down with a disgusted look, before turning away.

"What you say?? Hold up. You ain't finna call me no bitch expecting me not to say nun back."

She turned back to me n laughed.

I steady was ready to mock her words.

"Do you see ME laughin??"

We started to press eachother. Face to face, hella close. And I already knew what ws about to go down. Shiiiii, everybody knew. Cameras was up filmin in the air.

I'm surprised the cafeteria lady didn't call the damn teachers. Ig she don't get paid enough.

"I hate when a bitch talk shit then play victim." Azariia said as she looked at me. Keeping that same disgusted ugly ass face.

"See, y'know what. Yo ass finna get beat df u-"

Azariia threw a punch at me, and then a fight broke out onna floor.

PRESENT

I continued to glare at her. Leaning against the locker. With the mixture of friends from last year she had, and some new ones. I honestly think she fine asfc, but her personality makes her ugly.

It's not like she has a bad personality, but leaving me, a friend that you had for years for a boyfriend? Hurts. But I'm over that.

I saw her n looked up n down at what she was wearing. My face was giving a disgusted look. Istg I'm just a hater.

She had on skinny jeans, pink crocks with a long sleeve pink crop top. She had on a blonde n pink weave, and lashes.

I looked at her face. Istg, this bitch loves hella needles on ha face. She has peircings on her eyebrow, lip, and nose.

I looked at her for a bit, I bit my lip gently. I couldn't stare away. Some reasons, peircings attract me. ON ONLY SOME PEOPLE. Or is it just her ?

She looked up from her phone, and I swear to God I saw a smirk appear on her face. I quickly looked away, and kept it pushing.

I felt someone pushed me slightly and turned and I saw it was Jayla. She hugged me.

"Girrrll, I thought you was somebody. You was finna get yo ass beat.

"Aahaahh ! Y'know damn well you can't beat me stink." Jayla said, as her eyes rolled playfully. We sadly didn't have the same class , so once the bell rung we had to go our separate ways.

"Love you Kay-Kay !" She told me as she blowed kisses and I'd catch em. It's our little handshake we made in middle school.

"Love you too. I GUESS." I said. Jayla laughed of what I said at the end. We walked our separate ways. My class was on the 3rd floor and hers was on the 1st.

Once I made it to the starecase. I was already tired n I didn't even walk the stares yet. Once I started walking it was OVER for me. It's already hot AND I'm huffin n puffin. I should get paid to do ts!

I made it to class, LATE. And the teacher looked at me. Her face was giving 'Sit yo black ass down.' It was funny to me cs the teacher ain't even black.

I made my way walking to the back, as I saw Azariia of the corner of my eye, I ain't look at her though. I sat behind her, which was the only available seat. I already knew this was finna be a bad day.

In the middle of class, I was reading. The teacher didn't give us any assignments. I mean it's the first day so ofc they wouldn't. I looked up, hearing my name in a conversation that Azariia had with her friend next to her.

I leaned further up, to hear my name again. I glared as I scrunched my face.

"Keep my name out ya mouth unless you talkin to me."

I said as Azariia and her lil following ass friend turned their heads to look at me.

"Tuh! We ain't talking bout your ass."

Her friend said and Azariia just peeped out a laugh.

"Yall some lyin ass hoes . I swear."

I mumbled under my breath.

"Call us dat again, and ima remind you who got they ass beat last year." Azariia said as she scoffed.

I knew exactly what she was talking about. Yall thought I won dat? Nah, that hoe who thinks I talked shit about her won. I don't have hands like that, my hands ain't for fightin. They for lovvinnn- but still. I frl need to learn how to fight.

I sat silently in my chair. She literally HUSHED df outta me.

"That's what I thought, baby." She said as she turned back in her chair before I could say anything. Her friend turned back too.

I know this bitch ain't call me baby frl. Ian think much about it. She was probably just pressin df outta me.

hours had past, and it was finally lunch.

I had some money in my bag, some df where. I could go across the street to buy me sumn, even though the school don't allow off campus lunch. I usually don't get caught at all. Never did.

I texted Jayla to text me what she wanted. I walked across the street, got us some food then left back to the school. I walked in the cafeteria and I looked around, Jayla was no where to be seen. I looked outside. Where the tables and benches were. She was over by a big ass table. I walked over.

"We sitting here now?"

I questioned her as I sat the food onna table.

Jayla nodded. "Uh huh. We not finna sit in that dirty ass cafeteria."

Jayla was sitting down and I sat ontop of the table. We both started to eat, while we ate, I told her what happend in class today.

I peeked at Azariia and her little crew coming outside. Jayla looked over and looked at me. We both busted out laughin. I'm pretty sure Azariia had peeked that, but they continued to walk anyway. Jayla went back to eating and Azariia and her friends sat a table, almost right next to us.

I looked over and I had my eyes on Azariia. Why were they sitting out here for?? They usually Inna cafeteria. Are they tryna press me or sumn?? Like frl my name was all in they mouth in class. Wdf is going on?

I continued to look at Azariia, then her eyes laid on mine. Her eyes was low n shit, like she was high. Idk but it felt like she was undressing me with her eyes or sumn. She flashed a smirk and turned back with her friends, Jayla had caught me lookin over there.

"You good ? They bothering you?"

Jayla asked as she watched where my eyes went, I looked at her.

"N..no."

I said with a stutter as I shook my head. That's the first time I ever felt nervous, was it because of what happend just now?? I literally dk what's going on today.

I looked down to see some sauce I had on my food, dripped down on my white shorts. I groaned.

"This finna be hard to get out- hold on. I'm finna brb. Going to the restroom."

I said to jayla before she started laughin. I shook my head at her n started walking back inside, to the bathroom. I grabbed a paper towel and I put some water on it. Tryna smudge out the mustard. But it wouldn't come off. I groaned.

"Fuccckk"

I continued to try n atleast make it look better. I kept putting water on that one spot, I heard the bathroom door open and I looked in the mirror and it was Azariia.

It felt like she was following me. But all she did was fixed her makeup and eyelashes and slipping on some lipgloss on her lips. I watched her and she caught me. I quickly looked away.

"You keep lookin at me today, wanna run my fade again??"

She said, with an attitude I heard in her voice. I did not feel like doing this w her.

"Or, you just like lookin at me?"

She said as she looked at me through the mirror.

"Are you flirting with me?-"

I got cut off.

"Answer my question."

She said as she looked at me. Turning away from the mirror, and I looked at her. Throwing away the paper towel in the trash that was next by me.

"I'm just watching my surroundings."

I said, plainly. Idk why I'm talking to this bitch rn. I should've just ignored.

"Now you answer my question." I said, turning to her.

"No I'm not flirting with you. And if I was, what would you do?" She said. Does she think I'm stupid?? I mean what she said sounds like flirting to me. Smirking at me n shit.

"I.. don't know."

I answered. It went completely silent as she just continued to fix her makeup and I just stood there looking at the floor.

My light bulb clicked.

"Don't you got a boyfriend? I mean..if you were flirting." I mumbled.

"Yea, so. It's not like I would get with yo ass. You a opp. Buttt, I would like to see your reactions."

She replied as she flashed a smirk at me and I completely looked away.

She walked up to me and grabbed my chin, making me face her.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you."

My eyes widen as I felt butterflies LITERALLY in my stomach. I snatched her hand away.

"Fuck off me bitch."

I said as I walked past her, heading out the bathroom. I walked back outside and went to Jayla. I don't know if I should tell her what just happend. But I didn't.

Later on, lunch was over. And our last class started. Thankfully I ain't have that bitch in my class. But sadly I ain't have Jayla either.

I took my seat, I saw a few of Azariia friends I recognized. I heard my name AGAIN. I was frl finna throw a fit. But I let myself calm down before I get even more pissed. I looked at the time. 40 minutes untill class is over. And I can finally go df home.

Class was over. I texted Jayla that I was outside the school waitin for my mommy. N yes I call her that even though I ain't a lil ass girl. I saw Jayla, walking out with some nigga and I smiled. Jayla flashed her eyes at me, nervously.

"Onna first daaayyy?" I said as Jayla walked up to me as the Nigga left to go different directions.

"Naahh, he's just someone I HAD to work with for my last period." She said as she looked over at me. Cheesin.

"Awwee.." I groaned, disappointed and Jayla just shook her head and laughed.

"Yo momma pickin you up?"

Jayla asked me, tilting her head.

I nodded. "Yea, I'm pretty sure this is the first time she ever picked me up. I usually walk home."

Jayla nodded and waved bye as her momma pulled up to get her.

"Imma text you!" Jayla said.

I waved to her Mom and Jayla as they drove of both left.

My Mom pulled up js in time. I got in the back seat.

"How was your first day back, sweetheart?" My mom said as she flashed a sweet smile in the rear view mirror, wanting to know all about my day.

"It was good." I said with a smile back as I watched her look at me. I knew damn well that was a lie. My mom drove off, and it wasn't in the same directions we go home in.

"Sooo, I'm changing shifts this week. Ima start working night shifts. And since you aren't responsible to stay at home, I'm dropping you off at my friend's house." She said as she now payed attention to the road.

"Whaa- momma!?!? I can stay home by myself . I'm capable ..." I said. I got quiet after. Knowing not to raise my mouth at her. if I did, that'll be my ASS.

"Sorry hunny, but I know how yall teenagers be. You won't have to deal with this when you 18 and get ya own house." She said as she smiled.

"I also packed you a bag of clothes, if you stay the night. Because I might be to tired to come and get you." She added. And I just stayed silent, nodding. Mad asfc.

"She has a daughter too ! I think the same age as you." She said as she looked at the rear mirror, looking at me. I faked a smile. What was I supposed to say to that? I literally dgaf.

Once we got there, I got out. Grabbing my backpack and my bag with extra clothes. Me and my Mom made our way to her friends house, knocking on the door. The mom opened the door and my mom hugged her with a big ass smile on her face, once they finished huggin. The mom looked at me.

"And this must be..?" The mom said, waiting for a response.

"Kayiara." I said , mumbling a bit as I looked at the mom with a smile.

"Awee, what a sweetheart!" She said in awe.

"I love you, be good okay?" My mom said as she kissed my forehead, I nodded.

"Come inside !" She said as she welcomed me in. I walked in, and I looked over to a couch, and a girl sitting on it. She did look about my age. She looked up from her phone and my eyes widen.
