Omniscient
Nadir took a seat at the very front of the class. She would rather be alone upfront.
Two weeks in, and nothing had changed.
Taylor attempted to apologize, but it was really an explanation as to why he couldn't help her.
Not everyone could stick up for her like Chance or Antiere did.
"Nadir, you and your partner could come up and present your project"
Nadir's eyes widened.
The project she didn't start in class yesterday, and said that she would do at home, but didn't remember until just now.
"It's not finished" She mumbled.
"Well, present what you have. Who's your partner?" Her teacher sighed, obviously getting annoyed with her.
"I don't have a partner"
Most of the class laughed, making her feel self conscious.
"That's points off, but you still have to present"
"I don't have anything to present" Nadir mumbled.
"I don't take well to slackers, Ms. Bennett. We can be friends, or I can be your worst enemy"
There would definetly be no friendship.
Nadir blinked at her before looking down.
"Do you have something to say?" Her teacher asked.
"She do" Some students hyped her up.
"Say something to her, Ms. G"
"Aye, y'all can settle this after school"
There was only twenty minutes left in the day.
Nadir grabbed her backpack before exiting the classroom.
She walked out of the school, and down the stairs.
Her bus was usually early, so she would just sit there and wait for the rest of the kids.
"Excuse me, girl"
Nadir kept walking, and didn't bother looking up for the risk of making eye contact.
Because there was no pretending once eye contact was made.
She took a seat at the front of the bus, and called Antiere.
She had figured that her calling him so much was bothersome, but she didn't have any friends, and she longed to hear his voice.
"You calling me earlier than expected" He spoke smoothly into the phone.
"Really? I'm pretty sure that it's the same time everyday"
"I'm pretty sure that you skipped class, but I'm gone leave it at that"
"I can't confirm or deny those allegations"
"I know you heard me, baby. When someone says excuse me, you supposed to offer your assistance"
Nadir could feel the smile growing on her face, and she stood up with her backpack.
She tripped on the stairs, and was greeted by Antiere and Chancelor leaning against the side of the bus.
Nadir hugged Chance first, and he laughed. "I told you she was going to hug me first. Stay in yo place, boy"
"She just hugged you first cause she was going to show me more love" Antiere countered.
Nadir let go of Chance, and hugged Antiere.
"Aye, some privacy please" Antiere joked before kissing her on the lips.
"Yeah, yeah. Nadir, who got you leaving school so early?"
"I'm going to drop out again" She mumbled. "People are mean"
"Go ahead and list them off" Antiere pulled up his pants. "I'll fight a teacher too"
"I don't know their names"
"Ask your brother then. He probably knows" Antiere suggested.
"That nigga is not family" Chance shook his head. "He can take that shit elsewhere"
"I don't think we'd be friends. He only acknowledges me at Mr. Bennett's house" Nadir said.
She didn't want to call him sir, but that sounded just as bad.
"I could acknowledge you. I got a whole hotel room" Antiere said.
"Watch me take this rental car and dip" Chance scowled.
"Where'd you get money?" Nadir asked Chance.
"I told mama that that nigga Antivirus was going to see you, and she just coughed up the money so that I could go too. She couldn't free up her schedule"
Truth was, Pharoah made his mother pay to get Chance out of the house for two weeks.
"She called her niggas to school so they could escort her ass to the bus" A student exclaimed.
"And anybody that says some shit from a distance can walk up on me and say the same damn thing" Antiere called out.
"I should go" Nadir mumbled, wanting to get away from the situation.
Taylor walked over to where the bus was, and stopped infront of them. "I'm-"
"Shut the fuck up. Ion care who you is" Chance extended his hand out, and physically pushed him back.
Taylor looked over Antiere's frame, and Antiere did his best not to react. "I'm your sister's whole nigga and my sexuality is not versatile"
Taylor got on the bus, and Antiere took Nadir's backpack.
"Spend the night with me, baby" He reached down and grabbed her hand.
"Damn, what we finna be doing?" Chance intervened.
Antiere opened the passenger's side door for Nadir. "It depends on what time you're going to sleep"

"It wasn't even that bad, was it?" Pharoah asked, touching Faris's leg.
She looked down at her broken wrist and didn't respond.
"You know you supposed to fuckin' answer me when I'm talking to you" He sunk his nail into her leg.
"No, it wasn't, Pharoah" Faris lied, and made the move to stand up.
Pharoah pulled her down by her injured wrist. "I wasn't done talking to you"
She winced, and took a seat.
"So you know you're going to bring Nadir back to me, right?"
"She's not ever-"
"It's not up for debate. You have any idea how many people I'm paying to make her miserable? She'd come running down here as soon as she gets the opportunity"
The opportunity that was sure to happen.
Faris sat quietly, thinking.
"You not telling Antiere, and you not telling the cops. You know that would be it for you"
He had never shown off behavior problems before.
All of this was so sudden.
"I don't know if Nadir's a virgin or not, but you're definitely going to watch us fuck" He decided.
Faris could feel her stomach churn. "You don't have to do anything to her, I can take it by myself"
Nadir had gone through a lot in the past few months. She had had enough.
"I'm going to get the two for one special. Nadir would just cry, then she'd be fixed the fuck up. She cries too much anyways"
Faris could feel her eyes water. "You're fucking sick. I hope you rot in hell"
Pharoah grabbed her hair, and pushed her face down into the bed. "Let me show you what hell feels like"
