CHEYENNE

THURSDAY 12:38PM

I closed my locker door and Christina was cheesing behind it and scared the shit out of me. "Holy shit!" I say falling back onto the lockers and holding my chest. "I'm sorry, didn't mean to scare you." She apologized. "Yeah it's not your fault you're locker size..." I say clearing my throat. "But what's up?" I say leaning on my locker. "Oh, nothing I just wanted to ask you how those brownies were?" She asks. She's so sweet but I hate to break it to her but they're sitting in the back of the fridge... "Oh, um they were good." I lie while scratching the back of my ear. "You didn't eat them did you?" She says with her nose turnt up. "No it's been a rough few days I totally forgot about them." I admit to her. "You want some now?" She says hitting her bag. "Of course." I lean up. "Twenty bucks since you didn't try them last time." She says holding her hand out. "I mean... fine this kid got money in every pocket of sweats..." I say feeling my pockets. "Here." We both say exchanging the money and brownie. "Don't eat more than a corner now." She says. I took a bite and you can barley taste the weed, god I love that. "You can barley taste it... That's dangerous." I point at her. She smirked and nodded. "But I gotta run, see you in sixth." She says walking away. Girl I aint seeing nobody for the next two and a half hours. 

I saw Maddy and her clique coming down the hall. I started walking down the hall to get away from them. "I know you're not going to fifth, follow me to Millers room." I hear Maddy behind me while opening the door to the back stairs. I stopped and walked back. "Why?" I say holding the door open. "Just come on." She scoffed. I really didn't wanna follow her but I also didn't wanna go to class. And if we get in trouble... I can just blame her. 

I walked to Millers classroom and Brynn was coming out of her class. She raised her eyebrow and I bobbed my head for her to come with me. I have no idea where Rue is I lost her after third hour. Maddy turned round nd saw Brynn tagged along. "Whatever." She sighed as she opened the door. "Shit I don't know if it's a set up or not." I say sitting on a desk. "Tell her what you told me." Maddy says to Mrs. Miller. "Rachel  and Erica have been going around school about the fight saying how you were weak and stuff-" "No what did they actually say? Come on now Janet..." I say cutting her off. "How does a weak person try and save a weaker person, talking about Christina, and how you wanted it and you got what you deserve." She says. "Oh and plan on turning whatever party into a fight party if you show up." She tells me. "Basically jump you." Maddy jumps in. "Am I supposed to be scared?" I say pulling a piece of the brownie out of my backpack. "Jumping is for pussies." Maddy says. "But didn't yall do that?" I say point at Cassie and her. But Cassie mainly. "That was fucked, you can blame Cassie for that. But the party this weekend is a mansion party and nine times outta ten she'll have a lil army."Maddy says. "If she jumps im letting you know now. It won't be a fair fight im telling you that." I say leaning towards Maddy. "I know you both are on the cheer team. Let her know now. Stop fucking with me." I say getting up.

I looked at Brynn while biting my lip. "You know who you haven't talked to in a while? Schmidt." Brynn says pushing my towards his office. "I can't go to him." I say turning around. "Why not?" She says. "Because I can't tell him stuff like this." I say. "Why not?!" She says. "Because he's trying to get into my background Brynn!" I whisper yelled. "Okay, fuck!" She says putting her hands up. "I need to go home, im tired of being here." I say walking in a circle. "I think rue is in fifth?" She says. "Okay lets go." I say walking to Art. "What's going on?" Rue says looking up. I shook my head. "Done for the day, might ditch sixth." I yawn. That brownie is really hitting right now. "I would, but I actually did the work so imma go." She says. "Have fun with that, tell Mr. Moore I went home sick. Cause I know he's gonna ask you and or Brynn. "I'm going with you." Brynn says. "No, you're not." I shake my head. "Why?" She says. "Because..." I laughed. "Cheyenne, if you do anything stupid imma beat your ass." She says." Ooo the New Orleans jumped outta you." I say stepping back as I walked passed her. 

I walked out of one of the side doors that's closest to the store's street. I gotta tell Fezco but I know he's gonna try and stop me from going to this party and I know my dad is gonna try and stop me from going to this party. I know it's a sign, but I'm with the shits I'm not going around like a punk ass bitch.  "School isn't out for another hour... Wassup?" Fezco says startled by me. "A lot." I say putting my backpack down and sitting down. "What's going on?" He asked while putting his hand out. "You know those girls who jumped me at school?" I asked him while grabbing his hand. He nodded. "They are going around the school saying im weak and if I show up to this party this weekend they gone jump me again... So I need a gun." I say looking at him. He busted out laughing but im serious. "I know you got one in the back." I say getting up and walking into the store. "Aye woah woah woah." He says running behind me. I walked in and saw a Glock sitting on the counter. "Cheyenne!" He says getting infront of the gun. "You don't think I know how to use it?" I raised my eyebrow. "No, that's what im afraid of." He says. "And you shouldn't even go to that party, you don't gotta prove shit to them infront of a new audience." He says. "Fezco, it's not about proving nothing... I'm not the one to fuck with." I say. "And I don't want to see you in jail, if you go to that party with a gun." He says. "Matter fact, you're spending the night with me." He says putting the gun behind him. "My dad is never gonna allow that." I joke while folding my arms. "He never has, but it's better than him getting a call from the jail." He says wrapping his arms around me.

"Dude there's this mansion party this weekend, we can make a huge killing from that statch this one got us into." Ash says coming into the room. My eyes lit up. If Ash is there there's 100% nothing less than five guns on him. Fezco looked at me. "We're gonna have to miss out on this one gang." Fezco says. My hope went away. "You're kidding, why?" He says smacking his lips. "It's a drive, and mansion parties always get shut down. I'm not trusting it with both of yall there." He says. "Always fucking up the flow..." Ash Tray says shaking his head at me as he walked through the back. "I'm never gonna get on that kids good side." I sighed. "He'll come around." He says 

"Have you been getting a weird feeling someone is watching you?" Fezco asked me. "No... why?" I lied. "Because there's a black truck that has been posted up the street from here and the house for the last few days." He tells me exactly who it is. "We have a blue truck, that's weird." I say folding my arms. "Next time imma pop up on them." He says. "Or just stay inside? I don't need you in any trouble." I say fearing for his safety. He looked at me. "If it's for your safety, I'll be fine." He says rubbing my arm. "I'm serious." I say sitting down. "I know you are." He says putting his arm around me as he sat down.

5:45PM

"Kids dinner!" My mom yells. "You're really not going to the party?!" Brynn asked while getting off my bed. I shrugged. "I want too, but I know im not playing fair so do I really wanna risk it?" I ask biting my nail. "You keep saying that. What do you- CHEYENNE!" She says pushing my chest realizing what I mean. I shrugged. "I don't fight bitches twice." I say opening my door and my mom was about to open the door. "Hello sexy." I say to her. "What were you talking about?" She says. "The Bible." I lie while walking upstairs. "What's for- oh my god." I say walking into the kitchen and I see the Jacobs family at the end of the table. "What? Oh hey Nate." Brynn says greeting Nate. He waved. I side eyed Brynn. "Mom set up our own dinner for downstairs if yall didn't wanna sit with the parents." Spencyr says. I nodded. "That's cool with me, what's for dinner?" I say picking up a bowl. "Baked Ziti  salad and breadsticks." She says. "Great. I'll grab the breadsticks and see ya'll downstairs." I say eating one. "Don't you need drinks?" Nate asked. "There's a fridge down there..." Spencyr says.

Vision came with them downstairs thinking were gonna drop something but sorry sir you're not getting any of mommas cooking. "So Chey, where were you fifth and sixth?" Nate asked me. "Actually? With your bitch." I sighed while making my plate. I glanced up at him and he was shocked. "Why? Your not my man?" I say raising an eyebrow. "Don't know what man can handle you." He says. "Definitely not you." I shrugged. "Wouldn't want it to be me." He mutters. "You wish it was you." I laughed. "Okay!" Brynn says stopping us. We both glared at each other from opposite ends of the table. "Anyways, are yall coming to the party tomorrow?" Nate asked us. "Of course." Brynn says. He looked at me. "Maybe." I shrugged. "There's a rumor going around..." He says picking at his food. "And that's where imma stop you right there. I'm not weak, it was three against one. I want you and everyone else who thinks they can stand up three people alone, do so." I say folding my arms. "I didn't say I believed it. I got rocked by you one day you don't think you can hold your own? On top of that you got held your own the night before. I just wouldn't come because they're gunning for you as soon as you walk into the door." He says. I looked at Brynn. "Wrong choice of words..." She sighed. I sat back and looked at him. "I don't get ya'll friendship... at. all." Spencyr says shaking her head while eating. 

After dinner we brought up all the dishes and sat in the living room. "Also I wanted to thank you Cheyenne for letting me know homecoming is in a week." My dad says to me. "Because I didn't plan on going." I yawned. "What?!" Brynn, my mom and dad yelled. My eyes widened and I looked around the room. "Mom I didn't go last year... why would I go this year?" I asked her. "Because it's senior year?"She says in a duh voice. I shrugged "Cheyenne you're going." Brynn says. "No im not. Rue and I planned on going to the movies." I laughed. "Yeah you and Rue are the perfect match. Losers unite!" Spencyr says sarcastically while coming into the living room. "I guess we'll change your flight unitl after homecoming." My dad says to my mom. "Yah, we're going dress shopping tomorrow." She points at me. "Uh huh." I nodded. "Ya'll really enjoy these things?" I say looking at Brynn and Nate. "I mean they're chill." Brynn says. "And there's always an after party." Nate says. "And your sister isn't a loser after that liquor hits" Brynn laughs.  "Yeah, haven't experienced that yet." She says getting up and walking upstairs. Now that I think about it... Nate told them about homecoming to stop me from going to the party tomorrow.

 "You fucker..." I say hitting him. "What did I do?" He jumps. "You told them so I couldn't go to the party tomorrow." I tell him. He sat there and then smirked at me. "I already had it figured out. Idiot." I say to him. "Just wanted to be sure." He laughs. He just fucked up plans with Fezco. "I hate you." I say looking at him. "Yeah, imma head out. See yall tomorrow." Brynn says getting up. Oh Brynn baby don't leave me. I looked at her. "Love you." She mouthed. "I'll see you guys later, Mr. and Mrs. Calloway and Jacobs." Brynn says to our parents. "Have a good night honey." My mom says. 

"Well my friend left, im going to my room." I say getting up. "Cheyenne..." My mom says. "My bad, come on Vision." I say looking at my dog get up to follow me. "Cheyenne." My dad says as my mom laughed. "Come on Jacobs." I groan as I walked downstairs. "So, do your parents know your fucking with corner store dealer?" Nate asked me I stopped in my tracks. "Does it matter?" I asked him while turning around. "Kinda." He says. "How so?" I say folding my arms. "If you don't tell him, my dad is." He says. "Nate you don't like him, and your dad doesn't like him. Why are you telling me this?" I asked him. "Because I like you and not my dad." He says. I could've told you that. "Mhm." I say nodding. 

"Plus, who are you gonna take to homecoming?" He asked. "Well I wasn't planning on going fuck face!" I say to him. "And I ain't going with you." I laughed. "I'm not going with Maddy." He says. I looked up at him. "Why the fuck not?" I asked him. "We're going through something right now." He sighs. I fake pouted. "Aww, I'm not going with you." I smirked. "Just walk in with me." He says. "Why so Maddy can think what she always thought? You're just as crazy as her." I pointed at him. "No wonder why yall ended up with each other." I laughed. "So is that a yes?" He asked me. "I'll think about it." I say walking out of my room and back upstairs. I don't really wanna go to this gay ass dance, I went to my first one and I didn't enjoy it and I didn't plan on going to any of the rest. Debating on prom but it's just a dance ya know?
