Me - Aaliyah baby are you ok ? I asked .

Her lips starting quivering and a tear slid down her cheek as she nodded

Liyah - give me a minute she said and rushed into the bathroom

I sighed wondering what's wrong .

Why was Devan looking at her like that ?

James walked back up to me

James - Travis is she alright ? Why is she crying ?

I took a deep breathe

Me - she's going through some family issues right now

He furrowed his eye brows

James - is that all ? He asked
I nodded

James - you sure it isn't something else that happened ? He asked hinting towards something else .

Last night when he was texting me it was like he wanted to tell me something

James - did she say anything about Devan ?

I shook my head no

Me - no why ?

James - no reason he said and walked off .

I turned my head to Devan who was at the end of the hallway with Melena .

He looked back at me and smiled .

Is there something they need to tell me ?

•••••••••

Me and Liyah don't have all of our classes together but the couple we did was spent with her being quiet as I rubbed her leg .

She wasn't saying much , just doing her work .

When lunch time came around me her and Deja walked into the lunchroom .

Me - come sit with me I said when I noticed she was walking to a table different than where I sat with Devan , James and some more of my friends at .

She shook her head no

Me - why not ?

Liyah - I don't want to be at a table with your friends Travis she said lowly

Me - please , just today ?

She scratched her head before giving in and walking to the table .

I know she's not a fan of being around my friends a lot

Devan - Hi Aaliyah he said to her as she sat down .

Deja - bitch don't try being cool with her she said as Liyah grabbed onto my arm tightly

Me - you ok ? I asked
She nodded

The whole lunch period was just awkward . Liyah eventually ended up getting up and walking away without any explanation .

Devan was just acting weird , smiling more and shit and James was looking at me . Still acting like he wanted to tell me something .

Me - Liyah where are you going ?

She said nothing but just kept walking with Deja .

I sighed and got up going to follow after her

James - uhm Travis can I talk to you ?

Me - not right now -

James - it's important .

I looked back at him and he had a guilty face .

Devan - James keep your fucking mouth closed he said through gritted teeth .

Me - what's up ?

James shook his head

James - nevermind Travis

I shook my head annoyed and walked off .

They're both hiding something from me and I know what they're hiding is gonna piss me off .



- Do y'all think James is gonna tell him what happened ??
