EXPOSED

chapter 6

After a few more classes it was lunchtime and me and my friends sat at our usual table

And for the first time, I wasn't happy about lunch.

" okay time for business" I brought out my notebook and got ready for notes

You may be thinking I'm going too far or I'm doing too much but honestly, I haven't done enough.

Dani came over and sat with us " okay what's the plan?" he said while chewing on his food

Freddie spoke up " well let's find a weak spot, something that would actually hurt him"

We all sat there thinking what's something that would have a big impact

" Dani, don't you know him the best?" lia asked

" yeah but he barely talks about stuff and during practice it all about the game," he said munching

" then why dont we use something about basketball, I do know he's really good at it," I said putting my head down to think

" well I do know he's working on getting a scholarship, to some major league college"

" that's it!!, we could ruin his chance of getting that scholarship," lia said and although it was a good idea is that going too far? It is his future.

" that's not going too far," Freddie said I guess she can see what I was thinking

" but won't that ruin his future?" I said kinda worried and now second-guessing this plan

" listen chass this man record something private about you two, and that can ruin your future too, imaging going to a job interview and they do research and they find that video or you could be famous and some "fan" can find that video and ruin your career, he didn't second guess on his decision and neither should you" Freddie explain and I'm honestly surprised and this gave me my courage again.

" okay kets go with that plan" I continue to eat

" Okay, but how do we make sure we dont end up in trouble, like prevent this from coming back to us," Myla was right how do we prevent this from coming back to us?

" that's something we'll have to think about" and that's when the bell rang and lunch was over.

I headed back to my other class thinking how am I going to get this show on the road

Dani's pov

While we were talking about how to get revenge on ralph I was thinking to myself, and you may be wondering why would help? Well, ralph not much of a nice guy he does a lot of shitty stuff and honestly needs a slap in the face. And of course, for myself, I remember freshman year he was calling me offensive names cause I was too shy. What can I say I'm a sensitive nigga, that happens to hold grudges. I'm actually the type of person that believes second chances as long as they learn from their mistakes first and I know chass does too. speaking of second chances I see jazz walks by and she's been looking over here for a while, so after lunch, I went to catch up with her in the hallways

" hey let's talk," I said and grabbed her arm taking her to the library she looked very confused which was reasonable

We sat at a table and she started talking " if this is about me and chass, I dont want to hear it"

I crossed my arms " well it is, you  and I both know she'll forgive you in a minute, I haven't known her for a while but I can tell, so what's stopping you from apologizing?"

What I didn't expect was for her to start crying

" i- was just so stress about my feelings with Myla and myself and my promise to Freddie that I wouldn't do anything but I couldn't hold in my feelings and now I miss our friendship and Lia is not even a bad person I was just jealous of her, it took me so long to figure out that I like her as a person an-nd I put all that built up anger on my best friend" she was sobbing and I could tell this really hurt her.

" well do you still like Myla?" I question, while I was rubbing her back.

" no I dont, quickly got ver that as soon as I and chass fought" she cried some more

" so I guess that means its time to say sorry" she lifted her head " why do you care so much?" she asked

" because I kinda know what you're going through, losing friend cause of your dumb discussion and because you couldn't control your feelings for your friend trust me I know how it feels" saying that really took me back to a bad year

" Really?" she sniffed her tears

" yeah I'll let you in on a little secret"

And I whisper in her ear and after that, we left the library

" don't forget to apologize" I left and put up deuces.
