"Hart and Genesis, may I see your work?" The teacher calls us both. I stand up grabbing my papers and handling them to him. "This is incomplete Mrs. Genesis." He spats.
"I did my part Sir." I sigh. "Hart had to take care of the rest," I say while glaring at Josh.
"But it was supposed to be made in group Miss." He says.
"I know Sir, but Josh was busy playing ball and he couldn't keep it up with the team and this homework at the same time, and of course, I wasn't going to do the whole thing by myself," I reply.
"I do not care about Mr. Hart personal life or yours, the work isn't done completely. I won't be hearing complains about the grade you get." As I'm about to fight back he opens his mouth again. "Now sit down Genesis, the discussion is over." He demands and I do so.
Once the last class of the day is over, I grab all my belongings and decide to find Josh.
I walk inside the gym while the basketball team is practicing and look for Hart. When my eyes find him I start to yell. "Josh fucking Hart!"
Everyone stop what they're doing and pay attention to me, on the other hand, Josh keeps laughing and talking with Kyle. I walk up to them both and grab Hart by his jersey.
"Yo, what the fuck!" He shouts turning around.
"What the fuck you! Why the hell you didn't do your part!?" I ask him annoyed and I hear the rest of the team mumbling.
"It's a stupid ass work Genesis, chill out." He spats.
"Chill out? Are you kidding?" I start to raise my voice again.
"I am not, I have more important things to do than that work!" He raises his voice too.
"You are being extremely selfish!" I push him.
"How so?!" He questions me.
"Because your dumb ass will get a scholarship thanks to basketball but I won't cause I don't do any sports so I need my grades, Josh!" I yell.
Before he replies Coach George walks to me. "Miss you cannot come in here yelling at my players like that!"
"I can and I am." I turn around facing him.
"You can get suspended." He points his finger at me.
"How? Last time I checked you were just a coach, not a teacher, and last time I checked I'm not even a basketball player." I don't know where all these aggressiveness is coming from, guess my frustrations are getting the worst from me.
"That's it. Suspension for you Miss." He calmly replies.
And before I open my mouth again Kyle speaks. "Coach, you cannot do that. It's against the rules." He stands up for me.
"I can and I will," George replies.
I face Josh again and mutter a sarcastic thank you to then make my way out of the gym at a steady pace, I need to get the hell out of here before I get myself in more trouble.
I can't believe I was dumb enough to believe that a basketball player would do something besides the ball. I can't fail that class, and not only because of college because my family may not care about my health but they do about school.
I keep walking home, kicking everything on my way, still overthinking. I hear a few steps behind me but I decide to ignore it.
"Gen you are gonna get hurt!" Kuz's voice interrupts me from kicking a lamp post.
"Why do you even care!" I yell at him.
"You are a grown woman Genesis, stop it." He says grabbing me by my waist to stop me from kicking it.
"Get your hands off me!" I spat at him and he quickly does, raising them as a sign of rendition. "What are you doing here anyway?" I ask him.
"I got out earlier." He lies.
"Yeah, that's the lie now tell me the truth," I mutter as I cross my arms on my chest.
"I might have defended you and got kicked out or may just leave the class because I don't feel well." He scratches the back of his head not making eye contact with me.
"I'll take the second one cause the first one is too good to be the truth." I turn around and keep walking home, I feel his footsteps behind me.
"Hold up ma!" He states once he reaches my side.
"Where do you think you're going?" I ask him.
"Wherever you are going I am." He shrugs.
"Boy, you ain't coming home." I spat.
"Then let's go somewhere else." He lays out.
"Enlighten me then." I stop my pace to look at him.
"Fine." He says grabbing my arm and leading me back to school.
"I ain't getting inside again!" I tell him and he chuckles.
"We are just getting inside my car, not school!" He explains.
I stop making him stop too. "And who said that I'm getting inside your car?" I question him.
"I did." He demands. "Now stop wasting my time."

"So why did you leave the other day without saying a word?" I question him taking a sip of my lemonade.
"Because every Saturday morning I and my dad practice some basketball together and if I don't show up he gets really pissed off. He explains calmly.
"Oh, it must be nice to have a close relationship with him," I say.
"Well, yes. He ain't my biological dad tho." He shrugs and I nod.
As I am about to say something I notice Zo walking towards our table. "Look at this cute couple having a nice day at The Lemonade!" He laughs and I roll my eyes. Brandon and Michael are right behind him.
"A girl and a boy can be friends Lonzo," I announce to him and he chuckles taking a seat beside me while Brandon seats beside Kyle and Michael approaches a chair from another table.
"What you talking about lovebirds?" Michael jokes.
"I see some of you are in a good mood huh?" I state.
"I see some of you are on a good date," Lonzo replies smirking and I roll my eyes once again.
"This ain't a date y' all chill, she has a whole man." Kyle finally speaks out and we all frown.
"A man?" Brandon questions me.
"Do I?" I ask too.
Lonzo gets closer to me while I'm taking a sip and whispers. "The tall light skin that came to the gym with you the other day." I start to choke on my drink.
"You mean D'Angelo?" I yell and start to laugh and he nods.
"I don't know his name." He shrugs.
I look at the boys who seem pretty confused. "I think your homeboy is jealous," I smirk and laugh again. "I mean, I wish he was my man." I lie.
"Wait for guys," Michael utters. "Is this a date or not?" He asks and we all laugh.
"Boy, you've been sleeping for the last 3 minutes or what?" Brandon chuckles.
"Let me explain it to you, my confused ugly friend." Lonzo expresses. "This girl right here has a good-looking, light skin may I add, friend." He points at me. "And the boy right there." He points to Kyle. "Thought that friend was her boyfriend, but they're not dating and no this ain't a date. That was just a joke." He finishes getting comfortable on his seat again. "Anyways." He looks at me. "Wanna go on a date with me?" He winks and I chuckle.
"Yeah, not even in your wildest dreams," I reply. "Tho is your brother single?" I ask and his face turns serious.
"He a child Genesis!" He states and we all laugh.
"I ain't talking about the younger one!" I defend myself.
"Ew now, I don't think I could stand you moaning all over my house in his room!" He almost yells and I punch him on the shoulder.
"Manners!" I shout as my face turns red and the boys keep laughing.
