should've picked up the phone, but my pride got in the way...
NOTTI HUFFED as he pulled down his ski mask, putting his hood over his head and gripping onto the hoodie he wore as the cold air hit him.
he ignored anything dd and ddot were saying as the three walked, his mood being thrown off just by the weather being cold.
reaching the end of the street, the three stopped and ethan looked up, his eyes moving over to the other side of street like usual.
lani stood, smoothing down the skirt she wore with one of her hands as the other scrolled on her phone. she ignored any looks she got from the older men that walked by her, not even bothering to look up.
he narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, watching as she jumped as she heard, "kai baby!"
Alaina walked up to her, wrapping her arms around the girl as loren followed behind her, the two wearing the same uniform as kailani.
notti felt someone bump into him, causing him to take his eyes off the girl and to his brother and friend.
"dd, bro." ddot shook his head, smacking his lips as he moved away from notti.
"i'm sorry, my heart—"
"you can't stand straight or somethin?" ddot cut dd off, mugging him.
notti shook his head, tuning them out once again, moving his eyes back to kailani.
cee and zayn were now standing with the girls.
he watched as loren pushed cee away from her, alaina and him laughing as zayn wrapped his arms around kailani.
his eyes squinted, watching as the two pulled away but zayn still kept his hand on her arm.
he smiled down at the girl, saying something before kailani laughed, slightly looking away.
"fuck?" notti mumbled.
THE GYM of ethan's high school was extremely loud, as everyone that sat in the bleachers were having conversations as they waited for the game to start.
he fixed his jersey as he sat on the bench, his body turning as he searched the large room for darrian.
loud laughing made him turn his head to the bleachers near him, watching as Kailani jogged away from alaina, and stopped in front of zayn who stood near the stairs of the bleachers.
he stuck his hand out for her, and slightly spun her around, not letting go of her hand as the two talked.
"how long you been a cheerleader?" zayn asked her, tilting his head as the thought about how the two had went to the same high school, and he had no clue she cheered.
he guessed he just hasn't payed enough attention.
"middle school." kailani nodded.
kailanis mother had wanted her to cheer from the moment she went to school, and for awhile kailani only did it for her.. but after awhile she grew to actually love it.
and, she loved that her best friends were doing it with her.
the only thing was, she had to cheer for notti.
as whistle blew, zayn and kailani parted and notti stood up.
cee stood next to him, "yoo." he dragged.
the two dapped each other up, and notti gestured over to kailani with his head, "yo, is lani and zayn together?"
cee shrugged, "ion think so— he want her, though."
nottis eyebrows raised, simply and silently nodding.
he didn't know why a part of him cared, and didn't like the fact that someone else wanted her.
the game started, and he ran onto the court, and although he looked focused, his mind was in a lot of places.
a part of him missed talking to kailani as much as he used to.
he was curious on what she had been doing, and if she wanted zayn like he wanted her.
he ran down the court, his eyes on the ball that cee had. he put his hands up, yelling out to him to let him know he was open as he was being guarded.
cee passed the ball to him, and notti quickly threw the ball, watching as it went in the hoop.
people that sat in the bleachers cheered, and he could hear his friends yell his name, but his eyes went to the cheerleaders.
one in specific.
he watched as kailani shook her pom poms, lazily putting one of her arms up, but she didn't cheer at all.
a smile wasn't even on her face.
his eyes squinted, as he looked at the other cheerleaders to see them cheering loudly and smiling wide.
except loren and alaina, who had similar expressions as kailani.
he scoffed, taking his eyes off of the girl in attempt to get her off of his mind.
why was she the only thing he could think about all of sudden? he didn't know.
but it annoyed him.
WALKING BACK to his room after being congratulated on his win by his mother and sister, notti threw himself on his bed.
his body was sore, he was tired, and his head was throbbing.
he stood, changing into comfortable clothes before grabbing his phone and sitting back down.
he went on instagram, seeing the first post in his feed was a post by alaina. there was multiple pictures of her, kailani, and loren from today.
he ran his tongue over his bottom lip as he clicked on kailanis account that was mentioned, clicking his tongue as he saw that they still followed each other.
his thumb hovered over the "message" button, but he shook his head, scrolling out of instagram.
she could text me— he thought.
