"IM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU RAHEEM" I threw my bed lamp at him, " YOU DO THE SAME SHIT EACH FUCKING TIME" I threw yet another object at him and he dodged it. "Bro chill the fuck out, for i really do that to you" he stepped up to me and caught my arm before i threw his shoe at him. "Boy fuck you, get out!" I pointed to my bedroom door . "Whatever bro , call me when you done trippin", he gathered his shoes and jacket and left out the room.
After i heard the front door shut i let out a scream in frustration as tears forced themselves out of my eyes . This was my every week routine damn near . Raheem and i have been on and off since we were freshman in high school and we're now both freshmen in college.
The love i have for the boy is unconditional and he says his is the same but his actions don't match . We're only ever off when he decides he wants to fuck around with and/or text whoever he wants to . And sad to say i stick around through it all because I'm his "dummy" .
Getting up i picked up my lamp and placed it back on my nightstand . I slid on my house shoes and walked out my room into the living room . I stay in the nearest apartment complex to our college because it's way too expensive to stay on campus, like Raheem does , but his parents can afford that , i can't . Sitting on the couch i grabbed my phone from the glass table to check the time .
Rolling my eyes as i realized i had class 30 minutes i got up , going back into my room . I grabbed some sweats and a crop top , threw it on , grabbed my backpack from near my bed, grabbed my keys and i was out the door .

"girl he was texting WHO?" my best friend since diapers, Jamya yelled. "Exactly! And knowing the both of them I'm positive they already fucked. I can't wait for my love for this nigga to fade the fuck away dawg." I laid my head on the desk as the professor walked in. "girl you should've been left his ass , i would've left when.." i side eyed her and she threw her hands up mouthing my bad, "yea, yo bad."
"Okay class, in all honesty i didn't plan anything for y'all to do today due to it being Monday and i was kickin' it this weekend also" the class shared a laugh. "So, I'll just pass around this months Syllabus and once you get it, class dismissed." I watched him hand stacks to each row and waited for mine to reach me.
Grabbing one i passed the stack to Jamya , waited for her then we grabbed our belongings and left . "Anyways you going to Cameron's party Saturday?" Jamya asked me as we walked to the cafe that was all the way on the other side of the campus.
"No and you're not either heffa. Mommas birthday is Saturday and if you're not at her dinner , you know you getting cussed out." This weekend was my mommas 50th Birthday, and my brother was making a huge dinner and invited the whole family, even our distant cousins. I wasn't too excited because i don't get along with all of them but if Jamya was there I'd be fine.
She threw her head back in defeat "oh my god, they so extra. Why we can't just go to Applebee's or sumn so we can eat at 9 and be shaking ass by 11?!" I laughed at her as we continued to walk .
Looking around I stopped in my tracks causing Jamya to stop and look around . "Bitch is that Raheem and Raven right there ? I'm finna beat her ass, hold my shit", she tried to hand me her purse. "Nah boo it's okay , Karma's a bitch and you already got too many violations here , they gone throw yo ass out." We kept walking and Raven finally seen us but Raheem didn't.
She grabbed him by his neck and tounged him down. "Whole time that was all in my ass last night , but go awf sus" I said but only loud enough for Jamya hear me. "Bitch you nasty", she laughed and we made our way down some more and into the cafe. ———
"So, wassup with you and Josh?" I asked as we sat down after getting our subway. "Girl who? Don't speak of that man," she rolled her eyes . "Whatchu mean bitch? Y'all just went to dinner two nights ago" I looked at her with the duh face.
"Girl he talking about he love me and what not, you KNOW I don't do relationships" she shook her head as she ate some chips. I laughed "well what do you expect ? y'all been on and off for 3 years dummy. You the only one that don't wanna commit."
She shrugged as she picked up her ringing phone "speaking of the devil" she rolled her eyes and excused herself . Shaking my head , I started to finish up my food, sneaking a few of her chips because i didn't buy any. "Is this seat taken?" I heard a male voice. "Don't you see food right there?" I rolled my eyes and didn't even look up.
Although Raheem wasn't shit , I've never cheated on him and never planned to. "My bad love, I'll find somewhere else" I finally looked up to see a fine piece of chocolate. He smiled showing his pearly white teeth and I couldn't do anything but stare .
" I , uh, umm.." "She's happily taken, sir. Move around" Jamya walked back up and sat in her spot waving him off. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were.. you know what , ima just go" he turned on his heels and walked to another table.
"Girl now ion like Raheem, but he will air this whole bitch out if he seen you even looking at him, and I ain't tryna be a witness in nobody case."
Finally snapping back to reality I looked at her and rolled my eyes "girl he was finer than Michael B. Jordan and you know i love me some Mike." "Yea well he gone end up in the same place as Michael Jackson , if you keep playing." I threw my napkin at her as we both laughed.
Sad thing is it was true . Raheem ain't play no games when it came to me, he'll air out a church if he seen me too close to the pastor. He cleaning shit out about, above and behind me. That's why i loved him so much , cause he cared about me and no man, not even my sorry ass daddy,has ever.

Saturday came faster than i thought and here we were at the mall trying to find something to wear, with less than two hours to get ready. "I told you we should've came yesterday! This whole mall cleaned tf out!!" Jamya groaned in frustration.
"Well bitch i studied all Thursday night for my test yesterday, i was exhausted as fuck and didn't wanna deal with people!" We both had our outfits but couldn't find shoes to match at all. "You know what ima just go with the shoes i have back at home , we don't have time to waste and i got some that'll match yours too , come on."
Finally dressed and ready to go i checked the time and it was 6:45 , my brother wanted us all there by 7:30 so we had time. "Come on bitch damn, why tf are you eating and we on our way to eat?!" I yelled. "Bitch we ain't ate all fucking day! This ain't no muthafuckin Thanksgiving dinner, i should NOT have waited this long, the fuck." I rolled my eyes and grabbed the keys ready to go.
Locking my apartment door, we walked down the stairs and to my car. Getting in i put the car in reverse and backed out the parking lot and we were on our way .
