RUE

SUNDAY NIGHT

"What are you talking about Rue?" Jules asked me. "Stop playing dumb! I fucking know!" I yelled. "Know what! Im not hiding nothing from you!" She yelled. "Bullshit! You wanna go around the fucking school and say Cheyenne is giving me drugs because she's messing with Fezco? Be fucking for real!" I yelled at her. "Rue I know you..." She sighs. "You know me?" I scoffed and shook my head. "Yes. I know you would try to get something from her because how close she is with Fezco." She says. "Are you hearing yourself Jules?!" I yelled while holding my head. "If you don't fucking trust me just fucking say that!" I say throwing my hands up. "That's not what im saying Rue." She says to me. "That what are you trying to say? You don't trust Cheyenne?!" I say raising my eyebrow. "Yes, you see what she has been doing? Art was always calm no drama, no tension in the friend group and we don't ever have a fight at a party. So yes I don't trust her or you around her." She says. "Jules you sound fucking ridiculous, I can't" I laughed at her. I walked closer to her. "She was a new girl just like you. Nobody gave you this much shit as much as you and Cassie have given her. You may be my girlfriend but you aren't my fucking mama. You don't get to choose who I can and can't be friends with. She's invited you over to her house multiple times to get to know her but like always Jules refuses." I say to her. "I know haven't been sober since you've been around her." She says.Not true. I haven't been as sober since I've been around Cheyenne. "What the fuck is wrong with smoking fucking weed Jules." I smack the back of my hands. "Yeah... Okay." She smiles and nods. "What the fuck ever Jules." I say walking out of her room.

CHEYENNE

MONDAY MORNING

9:45AM

I walked into the bathroom and Maddy and her clique were skipping in here. "Ion want no beef I gotta piss." I say walking to a random stall. I stood there for a minute and thought to myself. What if I just... Nah thats just dragging it. I could hear Maddy and them kinda whispering but it wasn't about me. I did my business and walked out. They stopped and Maddy looked me up and down. I did the same we got each other pretty fucking good. But of course she tried to cover her eye and arms with make up. I used the other side of the sinks. "If you're gonna look.." I say as I turned off the water. "Fucking say something weirdo." I say walking passed her.

I simply hate being stared at and you not saying something. Like if you got to say something say it with your chest. We fought and im over it you should be too. I haven't seen Rue since Brynn's house and I left Brynn's class before going to the bathroom... I should go back to class yeah imma go back. We had a sub in history so I should be fine. I put the pass back on the desk and walked back to my desk. "What's up street fighter." Nate says turning around to my desk. "Shut up." I shook my head and laughed. "No im kidding how are you? How did you get to school?" He asks. I leaned back because Nate you're scaring me. "I'm fine. I walked with Spence." I say folding my arms. "Why?" I laughed "Because im your friend?" He says confused. I raised my eyebrow because are you sure? Or are you just stupid. I told him to lean in. "You're not supposed to be friend with someone your girlfriend doesn't fuck with." I tell him. "Ya'll will be okay, just built up tension that's finally over." He says shrugging. "Nate... you sound stupid as fuck." I say dumbfounded at what he just said. "How?" He asks. "Because we're both bitches..." I say to him with a straight face. "Not wrong on that." He mumbles. "What was that?" I raised my eyebrow. "Nothing, were having dinner tonight." He clears himself up. I snickered. "Y'all are having dinner." I say shaking my head. "Yeah i'll see you tonight." He says getting up as the bell rang. Wow I really dont stay in class.  I grabbed my stuff and walked out. 

"Hey pookie" Brynn says running into me. "Hey pookie ball boa" I laughed while putting my backpack on. "You're still coming over right?" She asked me. "Yeah mane, Nate talking about dinner at his house..." I say looking at her. We both looked at each other and laughed. "You know he wants you. And Maddy can't do nothing about it." Brynn says stopping at her locker. "Oh my god you actually use this." Rue says what im thinking. "Exactly what I was thinking." I laughed. "Yes..." She says opening her locker filled with snacks ,drinks, and essentials'. Rue's and I jaw dropped. "C-c-can i have a juice box?" I asked politely. "Thats the softest i've ever heard you speak." Brynn says snapping her head back. My face dropped. "Can i have a fucking juice box or not?"I say smacking my lips. "fruit punch or grape?" She asked me. "GRAPE!?" Rue and i say at the same time. "You're a monster!" Rue shouts. I burst out laughing. I saw from a distance a group if girls around another girl. "She new?" I hit Rue. "No, just quiet." She says looking through Brynn's locker. 

I walked behind the group of girls and listened to them. "Who still decorates their lockers with dolls and stickers still?" A blonde I think her name is Rachel rips off part of her sticker. "Here's something to add." Pretty Sure Erica says smearing her sandwich on her lockers. "Excuse me." I say forcefully pushing my way in between two girls. "Can I help you?" Erica questions. "You can get the fuck, that's what you can do." I say taking Ericas paper and wiping the girls locker off. "Who the fuck are you?" She says pushing my shoulder. I turned around. And she smirked when she saw my face. "Oh it's you. What are you big dog since you fought Maddy and your dating a drug dealer." She pouts as she tilts her head. I laughed as I licked my lips. "You're crazy." I smirked as I leaned forward towards her. "But I'm letting you know now. Don't fuck with her." I point to the child I don't know the name of. "Or what?" She steps up to me. I felt something chunky run down my back and I slammed Rachel into the lockers. "What the fuck is wrong with you." I say punching her repeatedly in the jaw. Next I was getting jumped by Erica. I kicked Rachel and pulled Erica's hair so I could knee her. "CHEYENNE!" Brynn and Rue yell trying to break us all up. "Hey!" We all hear Principal Hayes yells as a couple teachers come behind him. "Erica counselors office, Rachel Vice Principals office, and Cheyenne my office." He says looking at me. "I'm sorry babe." Brynn says helping me up. I can't win for losing man.

I followed Principal Hayes to his office and he didn't close the door her slammed that door. I slowly sat down as he walked to his desk. To be fair, I haven't done anything BAD but skip... Everybody does that.  "Can I get another shirt?" I asked him. He looked around his office with a school merch sweatshirt. I put it over my shirt and took my shirt off underneath. "Now, do you wanna tell me what happened?" He says looking at his desktop. He watched it all on the cameras so he knows. "Erica, Rachel and their other friend were ripping and throwing stuff on a girls locker. I thought it was pretty fucked up if you ask me." I shrugged. "First of all, Language. Second, you stood there for a moment before doing something, why?" He asked. "Because, I wanted to be clear if the were messing with her or not. And they were." I say putting my hands in my lap. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "You forcefully pushed yourself  through itching to cause tension." He says. Damn he's good. "No, just wanted to see what they done and was it really worth it." I lie with a straight face. "Mhm, just like last weekend?" He asked me. How the fuck did he know about last weekend. "No clue what you're talking about." I say shaking my head. "The halls may be big, but they are very very hollow. I know and hear everything." He say folding his arms. "What's my punishment?" I say over it. "Gonna send you home for the day. And tomorrow in school suspension." He says. "Are you gonna have to call my dad?" I asked him. He nodded. I tilted my head back. Oh he's gonna kill me. 

He looked up my record and dialed my fathers number. "This is Kian." My dad answers like a fucking loser. "Hi Mr. Calloway this is Principal Hayes." Hayes replies. "Which one is it?" He asks. "Cheyenne..." Hayes looks at me. I shook my head. "What happened?" my dad asked. "She got into an altercation with a couple students." He starts. "Uh huh was it bad?" my dad asked. "I haven't seen the other students. But Cheyenne looks pretty okay." Hayes nods while looking at me. My body is in pain, two fights back to back I can't keep up. But I will if I have too. "Is she suspended?" My dad asked Principal Hayes. "No, but im gonna send her home for the day and tomorrow in school suspension." Hayes tells him. "Give her a week." My dad tells her. I smacked my lips. "Dude!" I yelled. "Can she walk home? I won't be able to get her right away." My dad completely ignores me. "That's fine, she'll be at home." Hayes says. "Thank you Principal Hayes." My dad says. "Anytime Mr. Calloway." Hayes says hanging up. "I'm not gonna give you a week." He shakes his head. "Thank god." I sighed. "But next time, I will suspend you Cheyenne." He says. "Got it." I say giving him a thumbs up as I walked out of his office. "Take this sweetie." The secretary says handing me my backpack and and icepack. 

I signed myself out and walked out of the office. And of course Brynn and Rue were in the halls. "Oh my god, what happened?" Brynn hugged me. I groaned because my back is on fire. "I get to home." I smirked. "Suspended?" Rue asked. "Nah, in school tomorrow." I say putting the ice pack on my back. "Hey, you don't get out of here, I might take your dads offer." Principal Hayes says behind me. "Gotta go, bye love you guys." I say walking away. "Bye Chy!" They say behind me. God did one of them kick me because my back hurts so fucking bad. Do I wanna make myself suffer and take the long way not passed the store. Or just simply go past go and not collect $200. Nope short way it is I feel like im about to fall over. 

I just know Fezco is sitting out in his lawn chair just sitting, but I really don't have time to barley breathe. Let alone argue with him. I was coming up to the store and I didn't see anyone sitting outside. Yes, maybe we'll just get home faster. I walked passed the store and im not even gonna look. "Aye! Cheyenne!" Fezco yells. I don't know why but it sent chills down my sore back, which made me bend over almost falling. "Oh you dummy." I say to myself. "What's up?" I say turning around. He was walking towards me. "What happened? Are you okay?"He genuinely asks. "Just some school argument." I shrugged. "Are you sure it was just an argument?" He asked analyzing my body posture. "I swear." I whine as I try to stand up straight. He just looked at me until I told him the truth. "Okay, I got into it with this girl and her friend jumped in and basically jumped me, but I did it because they were bullying a girl and that shit don't sit right with me. But I held my own." I say holding the ice pack on my back. "Come in here." He says holding my back. "I can't, I have to get home." I lie. "Look, we can forget Saturday right now come here." He tells me while helping me into the store.  

He helped me through the cooler and Ashtray was sitting and staring. "The fuck she doing here?" He asked. "Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out." Fezco tells him. Ash does what he says and leaves. "Alright turn around and lift up your sweatshirt." He tells me. I did what he said "Oh shit Chy..." He says. "What?"I say  trying to look at him. "You're back is fucked, does it hurt here?" He says firmly pressing on a lower part of my back. "Ow! yes bitch!" I yelled. He inhaled and exhaled hard. "I'm sorry." I apologize. He hates the word Bitch. "I'm gonna put some icy hot on it then wrap it up and please don't make me regret giving you a pain pill." He says holding my stomach as he rubbed my back. "Deal, just won't tell Rue." I joked. He laughed. Hey I can still make him laugh. "Look, I'm sorry about Saturday and the week before." I tell him. "It's cool, I messed up on my part by not asking you first." He says wrapping his arms around my neck. "Fez, my back." I remind him. He let go. "My fault." He says. "I'll give you a Vicodin get a juice and take it. It should kick in by the time you get home." He says putting a pill in my hand."Is it gonna knock me out?" I asked him. "Probably, but what do you have to do today? You're leaving the place you're suppose to be." He laughs while opening the door for me. "Shut up." I say grabbing a juice, and a bag of chips... and some candy. "Call me later?" Fezco asked while putting my stuff in a bag.  "As soon as I wake up." I say holding up my hand and putting the pill in my pocket.

3:45PM

I hear my door swing open and someone lay down next to me. "How you feel?" It was Spencyr playing in my hair. Vision came to my side of the beaded licked my face. "Aw man." I groaned wiping my face. "Rue told me what happened, are you okay?" She asked. I rolled over to lookout her. "I feel like a car ran back and forth over me. But I'm good." I sighed. "What happened?" She asked. I shook my head. "Long story short your sister doesn't condone bullying." I say getting up to put pants on. "What did dad say about it?" I asked her. "He's kinda upset but if you tell him what happened he probably wont." She says. "Nah that man is gonna be upset with me until the day he dies." I say sitting back down and rubbing Vision. "Have you talked to Fez?" She asked me. I nodded. "And?" She asked raising her lip. "We're cool, that's my dude." I laughed at my self. "Good, I like him better with you than Nate." She said and my eyes widen. "Girl what the fuck!" I say to her. "Your father and his boyfriend is trying to push us together not me." I say. "I just wanted to see what you would say... Damn you really don't like Jacobs?" She laughed. I sighed. "Girl, we like but don't like each other and im simply fine with that." I shrugged. I heard fat ass foot steps coming down the stairs. "Meet me in my room." My dad says standing in my door way and then walking back upstairs. I looked at Spence. "No eye contact whatsoever." We both say. "Please don't run." She says as I got up. "I can barely walk, I'm not worried about him." I say limping up the stairs. 

"Aw fuck man I gotta walk up more stairs." I groan while holding my side. Vision came to my side and walked up the stairs with me. He's the sweetest dog we really don't deserve them. "You're amazing Vis." I say rubbing him. I opened my dads door and he was sitting on he edge of his bed. Here we go... "Hey." I say closing the door. "What happened at school today?" He asked me. "Can I tell you everything without getting cut off?" I asked him. "Depends on if I think you're lying or not."He says. I rolled my eyes. "I saw a group of girls bullying a girl by her locker and I thought it was not cool. Me and this one girl had words and her funky ass friend pour her smoothie down my back and I swung." I say looking at him. He just looked at me waiting on me to say more but thats that. "Why would jump in if your one person?" He says. "Why wouldn't you?!-" "If they are bigger than me I stand down! You're five three Cheyenne you're not that fucking big this is why you keep getting your ass beat." He says. My jaw dropped. "You're delusional. I may be small but I can stand my fucking ground. I got my ass beat? Yeah maybe today for like five seconds but I know im not gonna let someone walk over me." I say looking at him. "Your mom is fly in with Kj..." He says. My heart dropped. I haven't talked to her since I've gotten here. "I broke you." I say opening his door and walking out. I don't have time to be belittled when you're supposed to be on my side than everyone else's.
