Player's Prayer

Chapter 24: The One

Jon Jon shrugged. "He late, I guess."

"Oh, well Ima catch y'all later." Then I headed inside.

I spotted Mila at her locker. I snuck up behind her.

"Mila."

She jumped and hit her head on an open locker.

"What?" She yelled, then backed up into the locker when she realized it was me.

I chuckled a lil bit. "You ain't gotta be scared ma. I just wanted to say sorry, I ain't have no right to put my hands on you." I cupped her chin. "I hope you can forgive me."

She nodded. "I forgive you, but I can't fuck with you like that no more Ronny." She whispered.

"That's cool, cause I can't fuck with you like that no more either."

She looked lost for words and I really didn't wanna know what she had to say, so I headed to class.

"Hey Bestfriend." I greeted Candace.

"Hey Ronny."

"So I had this idea.."

She rolled her eyes. "What is it?"

"How bout after school, we go get something to eat?"

"Definitely not."

"Why not?"

"You know why Ronny. I appreciate you tryna help me and all, but now you doing a little too much."

I put my hands up in surrender. "Whoa, this ain't even bout eating. You don't gotta eat. Well you gotta eat something, but this is really about us catching up. I'm not try force you into nothing, I just thought it would be coo."

"I'll think about it."

"Ight, let me know 8th period?"

She nodded.

"Alright class, papers due at the end of the period." Ms. Jackson said.

"You got your paper?" I asked Candy.

She nodded and dug into her backpack. "You got yours?"

I nodded and went into mine.

We put our papers on the desks.

"So I gotta question." Candy said out the blue.

"I gotta answer."

"How did you get Quan to 'come out' to you?"

"If you come with me after school, I'll let you know." I smiled.

She smacked her lips. "Fine, you win."

I chuckled. "Nosey ass."

Candace's POV

Lena beat me to the tree. She was there eating hot wings.

I sat next to her and unintentionally sighed.

"What is it?" She said, munching on hot Cheetos.
