Stuck

-Picture of Aubrey-

I woke up this morning with my parents going back and forth again. All they do is argue. I rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom but didn't forget to grad my wireless beats by dre on the way.

I put on Bryson Tiller to drown their voices out. I grabbed my toothbrush and got ready for school.

As I was walking out the door and I heard the most comforting voice calling my name.

"Aubrey," I tuned around and went to give my little sister a hug. She's 5. Her curls match mine but mine are dyed lighter while hers are naturally black.

"Yes, Lyric,"

"Mommy and daddy are fighting"

"I know, just go back to your room and use that trick I taught you okay,"

"Okay,"

"Do you remember?"

"Go in my closet. Cover my ears and pretend I'm somewhere else," I smiled. A fake one. It's sad that she has to go through this. Always hearing them argue. She ran upstairs and I walked out the door.

I turned my music back up as I walked. I don't live far from school. Maybe a 10 minute walk.

My shoulder started hurting from carrying the extra duffle bag on my shoulder. I'm carrying my cheer clothes. My best friend talked me into it because she's on the basketball team.

Cheer is fun but everything that goes along with it isn't really my thing. I don't like attention and popularity isn't something I crave.

When I got to first period I sat in my regular seat. I put my headphones around my neck and started taking notes. I hear the girls behind me whispering. They haven't stopped talking since the beginning of class.

"Just look at her. Geez. I would let her strap me down anytime," I heard one of them whisper.

"I'm not even gay but she could get this," another said. I turned slowly to see who they were looking at. I guess she's new. It's a lightskin stud sitting across the room taking notes.

She's cute. Strong jaw. Full lips. She had her hood on but I could see her square earring shining.

She looked over at me and smiled. Her eyes are gorgeous. Fuck. she caught me looking. I turned back fast and my stomach started turning. When the bell rung I thought I saw her walking towards me so I sped out the classroom.

I went the rest of the day without any awkwardness like first period. I didn't see her again. The last bell rung and I went to the locker room to change. As the rest of the team filed in I continued to hear about the girl. Her name is Yazmin but apparently she's telling people to call her Yaz.

Typical stud name.

After I got dressed I headed upstairs to the gym for practice. The girls team practices the same time as us.

I entered the gym and saw my best friend Jaylan. She's a stud. She's not the tallest but 5'6 suits her. She was strong not stocky but if she flexed you might think she was a body builder.

I'm not going to say that she's the reason I like girls but she gave me confidence to come out to my parents. We've never dated. Sometimes I feel like she likes me but she had the juice. Girls on girls. One of the most known in the school.

She went back to her team and I noticed a new face on the line. Its Yazmin. She had on a sleeveless shirt and her arms look nice. Her muscles flexed every time she moved. I forced myself to look away. Me and the cheer team rolled out the practice mats. We stretched and warmed up. One of my friends on the team, Kate, came up to me.
