Gettin Caught Up

The next morning I was up early at the park shooting some hoops hitting them 3 pointers. Yall know how I do but when I missed my shoot the ball bounced off the rim and rolled over and somebody had picked it up.

The sun was shining right in my face so I couldn't really see that much. Thinking it was the crew since they was supposed to meet me here.

"Looks like you need some coaching" someone said walking towards me and it was Kia.

"Naw, I was just.... Distracted" I said smiling.

"Maybe I can help you out a little bit" she said making a shoot.

"I didn't know you could play ball" I said grabbing the ball

"Because I'm a girl?" she asked looking at me with

"Nah. Let's play one on one" I suggested bouncing the ball between my legs. She nodding and we played.

After we was done playing for a few hours which I won of course 20 to her 12 but I had to admit she was pretty good no lie. We sat on the bench.

"Well I guess I am still the champion" I said smirking drinking my water.

"You just got luck and you cheated" she said snatching the bottle of water out of my hand taking a sip.

"You mad I won it's okay shorty" I laughed

"So, what's do I have to do since you won?" She asked

"Umm shit I don't know" I said shrugging my shoulders not really thinking about it

"How about this" she mumbled and I turned to look at her and next thing I know she kissed me. For a minute I did kiss her back but I pulled away in complete shock

"You're a good kisser" she said licking her lips smiling.

"What the hell was that Kia" I said using my hand to wipe my lips I knew it was the time to tell her.

"I'm sorry. I thought that's what you wanted" she said embarrassed.

"Kia you cool and all but I don't think of you like that" I said rubbing my hand on the back of my neck. I didn't want to hurt her feelings or anything. I hope I didn't lead her on because I know how that feels. She was cute and my type but just because me and Terriana broke up doesn't mean I was gone smash.

"I kind of had feelings for you, I can't stop thinking about you, you're on my mind day and night...........I don't know what to do with these feelings" she said fast and she stared at me with a blank expression. Then I noticed she was looking past me; I followed her eyes to behind me. I turned to see Quetta standing there with her arms crossed with a sad and mad look on her face as she was walking over to me.

"Fuck" I said under my breath rolling my eyes. I wonder how much she heard and seen. Before I could even say anything, she started on my ass.

"Are you fucking serious Vanessa?" She asked and I furrowed my eyebrows acting like I didn't know what she was talking about.

"What are you talking about?" I asked shooting the ball

"You fucking with her but you can't fuck with me" she said mad as hell

"I'm not fucking with nobody I'm single" I said truthfully

"I just saw you kiss her what the fuck you mean. You broke it off with Terrianna to fuck with some bitch you don't even know" She yelled

By the moment Harland and Q had walked up dropping their bags by the court and hearing the conversation.

"You good bruh" Q asked

"Shorty ass tripping" I said making a shot and missing

"She fucking yo game up B" Harland said grabbing the ball

"Don't fucking ignore me Vanessa" Quetta said all in my face

"What's the problem because I'm busy" I said not wanting to hear nothing else. Kia was just sitting there shaking her head.

"So, you choose her over me?" She asked pointing to Kia

"Did you not choose Drew over me because you didn't want your family to know we was fucking around or was it because you were fucking with a female. Did I not express my feelings for you and this was way before I started fucking with Terrianna Huh?" I asked annoyed she was coming at me for doing me when she been doing this shit since we started fucking with each other.

"You knew my situation Vanessa so stop acting like you weren't fucking with nobody else while we were doing what we were doing. I played the same game you did" she said standing in front of me.

I just stood there shaking my head. We had this conversation already on multiple occasions. I wanted a relationship. She wanted a relationship with me but she wanted it to be lowkey since her parents didn't know she was gay. I mean I was cool with it when we was fucking around but then it started to get old once we mad it official. We argued all the time then I just broke it off with her. I didn't want to be nobody secret. Not even a full week later she was dating drew. Mostly everybody in school new was a thing so when the rumor got back to me and I seen it for myself, I let it go after a while. A year later I meet Terrianna.

"Don't you have a blow job date with drew or something" I said chuckling and before I knew it, she had slapped the spit out my mouth literally. At that moment I grabbing Quetta by her jacket with one since I had the ball in my other hand.

I didn't say nothing but look at her in her eyes with rage about to attack her ass Q and Harland right there to break us up.

"I should fuck yo shit up but I won't do that because if I do, I'll regret that shit" I said pushing her back

"I hate you Vanessa" She said as a tear rolled down her face

"Fuck you" I yelled throwing the ball, grabbing my bag and storming off. I didn't even want to ball no more. I was beyond pissed. I don't know what for but that shit had me hot. Quetta knew I had mad feelings for her and she ended because she was ashamed of who she was not because of me.

I made it home going right to my room slamming my door throwing my bag on the floor. I need to smoke and relax my mind before I do something, I would regret quick. I grab my stash and grabbed a pre rolled blunt. I didn't want to smoke in my room so I decided to smoke on the roof. I had this little spot that I would go to when I didn't want to be found. Before I could climb out my window my door bell ring.

"Fuck" I yelled climbing back in the house. I went to the door ready to curse out whoever was at my door. I opened the door to be meet by Kia.

"Sorry to show up but I wanted to make sure you were okay" She asked and I was shocked she was here.

"How did you know where I lived?" I asked confused. I didn't want to sound like an ass but how would she know. I got robbed once and I refuse to let my guard down with anybody. I don't care who it was.

"I followed you here I know its creepy" She said with her head down

"Umm nah you good" I said still not letting my guard down. I wanted to invite her in but since the robbery I wasn't trusting nobody in my crib. I even got a new hideout for my stash.

"I can go if your busy" She said about walk off

"Um no. Give me a minute" I said closing my door and locking it. I went back to room closing my window and locking it. I grabbed my jacket, hat, phone and keys. I walked back down out to her standing on the front porch and I locked the door.

We started walking as I sparked my blunt. I didn't feel comfortable smoking outside but I needed it right now. You could tell there was tension between us since she confessed, she liked me and I didn't respond to her and one of the reasons was because of Quetta, and the other reason was because I didn't know what to say.

"Thanks for checking up on" I said starting the convo

"No problem. I could tell you was super pissed" She responded

"Yea shorty ass really pissed me off with that shit" I said inhaling the smoking

"A person outside looking in I could tell you both have feelings for each other still and you really care for one another. Just an opinion ya know" She said

"To be honesty you right. I do care for Quetta that's why I didn't react to her earlier. Any other person would have been bloody. I don't tolerate the hitting unless I have to. I would never put my hands on somebody" I responded truthfully

"Do you mind me asking what happened between you two" She asked

"She was my first female when we were shorties. I was like 12 and she was 11. We didn't know what we were doing but every since then we were messing around. Besides us messing around she was my best friend. Beginning of freshman year, we were somewhat becoming a couple. Everybody knew we was off limits. I wanted to be official and she didn't since her family didn't know. I got tired of her excuses and she broke it off. Few days later she was with Drew" I finished struggling my shoulders.

"Sorry to hear that" She said and I nodded

"It's cool I learned to accept it and moved on. After I got over her, I meet Terrianna my second semester of freshman year and we started dating the beginning of junior year. I was still messing with Quetta but once me and Terrianna start dating I cut Quetta off" I explained

"You never cheated on Terrianna?" She asked

"Nah, I never once entertained another female with dealing with Terrianna" I said looking at her funny.

"Sorry rumors at school you know how that go. That's why I asked" She said and I brushed it off.

"Well from what I have seen and experienced with you. I think you actually a good person seriously" She said

"Ya know I do what I do" I said popping my collar and we laughed

"Nah but for real though you are. I don't think you should let people get to you like that. You just stressing yourself out more. I learned that the hard way" She said

"Yeah I feel ya on that one" I said as my phone chimed indicating that I had a message. I grabbed it from my sweatpants and opened my phone. I had a message from Q telling me that the crew was going to a movie. I pressed the call button and he answered on the second ring. "Wassam....What yall going to see?......Awh facts come scoop me......Nah I'll send my location...bet" I said and hung up sending him my location

"Leaving so soon?" She asked

"Umm yeah you wanna go to a movie crew is going?" I asked her

"Ummm I don't know I should get home school in the am" She said

"Come on it's early we won't be out too late" I said and she looked back

"Fine" she finally said

"Cool. Q should be close" I said and as I said that Q pulled up

I was already high as shit with the shit that happened earlier, I needed to unwind.

KIA

Getting dropped off by Vanessa and her friends. I had a good time with them and I hate myself for doing what I did to Vanessa. Terrianna lied about the whole thing. Vanessa was not this monster that Terrianna created her to be. I was starting to realize Terrianna was the problem and I needed to get out of this and fast.

Me and Terrianna had got into many times because she thought I was spending too much time with Vanessa and her friends that I barley talk or text her. I mean it was true, every time I was with Terrianna all she wanted to do was talk about Vanessa. When I was with Vanessa and her friends, we never spoke on Terrianna. I should have seen the signs.

I was really starting to like Vanessa; I don't know what came over me when I kissed her, I guess I was starting to catch feelings for her. I was so embarrassed she didn't feel the same way. I guess that was her just being friendly. I needed a way to get out this mess.

Vanessa doesn't deserve this.
