"Aye can get uhhhh.."

Simone removed her hands from her face. She looked to see Mikai and his friends.

Simone felt embarrassed. She didn't want anybody from her school besides Kameron and Celeste to know that she worked at Chipotle. She felt like hiding somewhere. Especially when it came to Mikai.

Mikai gazed at Simone trying to recognize who she was. "...You that girl in my Chem and Bio class right?"

Simone slowly nodded her hea. She kept her eyes on the cashier register so she couldn't maintain eye contact.

"...Lemme get 6 chicken burritos. That's all."

"20.56"

"Coo." Mikai  handed Simone a 50.

"You'on socialize much do you?" Mikai let the corner of his mouth fall into a smirk.

"No not really."

One of Mikai's friends Ashton nudged Makai in the arm making him look back.

"Ask for her number goofy." He mumbled. Mikai rolled his eyes making the rest of his friends snicker.

"Here." Simone handed him back the change she owed him.

The rest of the group moved towards the area where their burritos were being made. Mikai stayed back.

"Why you act so quiet?" Simone shrugged not knowing what to say. She didn't know why she was so quiet either but it was just a habit of hers when she only has few friends.

"I'm not the type to hang with niggas I barely know."

"You wanna get to know me?" She slowly looked up from the cashier register with her eyes furrowed.

"I guess." Her heart was racing and thumping. Someone could've probably heard it if they were close enough to her.

"Gimme ya phone."

Simone shifted her eyes left and right."Huh?"

Mikai reached over the counter taking her phone out her shirt pocket.

He unlocked it and put his number in her contacts.

"I'mma text you." He handed it back to her then left with his friends.

Simone unlocked her phone to see what name he put in as his contact name.

"Mikai🥰"

"He really just put his number in his phone." Simone tried her best not to act happy about it because she couldn't stop the smile plastering across her face.

"Who did" Willow asked coming out with her regular clothes on

"This boy I liked since 8th grade."

"What's his name?"

"Mikai. And please don't tell nobody that either."  Simone still had a lot of tension built. She was scared because this might've been the first time she fucked with a boy like that.  Her only priority was school and her friends. She never thought about dating or any of that.

It was around 7:30 when Simone made it home, she had actually decided earlier to eat a burrito not wanting to bother Morelia tonight.

Simone walked in the duplex apartment to see Rodney and her mother sitting in the living room.

"You bring my Hennessy ?" Simone's mom asked sitting on the couch with Rodney's arm over her.

"They ain't have anymore, I bought Beer instead." Simone handed the pack of beer to her mother who wasn't satisfied as expected. She snatched it out her hand
making her pull it back.

"Imma go get some cups" Rodney nodded as Kristina got up and walked into the kitchen.

Simone zipped her bookbag up and walked past Rodney sitting on the couch.

As she walked pass Rodney she felt a hand slide across the back of her thigh.

Out of instinct she turned around and scooted over eyeing him.

"Please don't touch me."

Simone started to resume walking before she felt arms tug on her waist pulling her on his lap.

Rodney held a grip on her waist so she doesn't move while he grazed his nasty hands over her.

Simone nudged him in the chest giving her the opportunity to get up and run towards the door.

"Fuck is wrong with that girl?" Kristina said as she saw Simone run past her. "Running all over my house and shit. She needs to learn some manners."

"I have no idea." Rodney said as Kristina gave him the cup with beer in it.

"She's so weird I swear." She sat down next to him taking big sips of the red cup.

Simone constantly banged on Morelia's door waiting for her to answer.

"Mija what's wrong? Simone fell into her arms crying

"Can I please stay with you"
Simone asked while tears were aggressively running down her face.

"Of course, of course. Cmon let's talk about it upstairs okay?" Morelia wiped the tears off her face trying to lead her upstairs.

Simone was way overwhelmed with her average life. She couldn't have a normal teenage life because of stuff like this she was forced to deal with at home.
