As I sat on the top of the bleachers I tried to wipe my face with the sleeve of my sweatshirt to keep my tears from being seen by the rest of the guys. Prince was the only one who noticed and I can easily tell that it just passed him smooth off. He would look back at me then turn to look over at Wilson. He did this for at least five minutes. I had a feeling that he was either going to say something to him or just get up and knock Wilson on his ass. I was praying that he would just for my sake but Prince wasn't gonna pick a fight unless he knew he had to. Instead he excused himself from the guys and climbed his way up to the top of the bleachers and sat down beside me. He didn't ask me any questions or rub my heartbreak in my face. He simply pulled out a small pack of tissues from his back pocket and handed them to me. I took the tissues and pulled one from the pack and dried my face. I went to hand him his remaining tissues back but he pushed my hand softly away.

  "Keep them. It's all good." He said.

I tried to give him the best smile I could muster up but I was way too sad to smile. Price slide over a little closer to me and put his right arm around my shoulder and pulled me into him.

  "If you think I'm gonna say it......I'm not. I wouldn't be a good friend if I did." He quietly whispered in my ear as I cried in his chest.

  "Prince I'm so sorry." I sobbed sitting up.

  "Why? You don't have anything to apologize for!"

  "Yes I do. I should have listened to you. You were right about Wilson all along. He's a jerk."

  "What happened?"

I was almost afraid to tell him that I saw Alley lip locking with Wilson. That would only be the icing on the add whooping cake. On one hand if I told him it would piss him off and break his heart as well. On the other hand I didn't want him pining over this girl for a month and hiding it in my treehouse to mask the pain. It was a huge gamble either way but I did what was best for both of us and just told him.

  "Prince......Alley......" was what I could only get out at first as I turned to find Wilson sitting at the bottom row with his stupid jock friends.

  "What about Alley?" He asked in a nervous tone.

I took a deep breath and spilled the beans on what I saw.

  "Alley and Wilson were kissing at her locker when I saw them. That's what happened."

  "You lie. She wouldn't-"

  "She would and she did. He kissed her and she was into it. If they had kissed any longer I could have sworn she'd be in her first fucking trimester."

Prince's eyes widened as he sat straight up on the bleacher and only shifted his eyes downward in Wilson's direction.

  "My Alley?" He asked confused.

I guess the expression on my face had clued him in that Alley had just entered the gym and was sashaying her twig ass passed Wilson. She switched her assless hips as she walked by and blew Wilson a kiss. Prince couldn't believe his eyes. Everything I had told him was true and he had no choice but to believe me. I looked at Prince and the red color began to rise from his neck to his face. His honey toned eyes were now a darker brown and his chest heaved quickly.

  "Prince?" I called trying to snap him out of his anger.

It was already too late. He was furious. Prince picked up his book bag and put it on his back as he glared at Wilson. Prince was about to make his move.

  "Skipper? What are you doing?" I asked him as I tried to slowly reach his shoulder to pull him back down to sit next to me.

  "Stay here." Was all he said as he took one step down towards the floor.

  "But Skipper if you get into a fight-"

  "I don't wanna hear it just stay here!" He demanded.

  "Prince you don't have to do this! He's not worth getting suspended from school for!" I shouted as he charged full speed down the bleachers.

I shot up from my spot and yelled down to Andre and Dez.

  "Dezzy! Dre! Stop him!" I screamed at the top of my lungs just as he ran down passed Morris.

Andre didn't hesitate to run after his best friend before he did something stupid. Dez  went under the banister and jumped down from the fifth bleacher row where he was sitting down to the ground and bolted for Prince along side Andre. At this point Prince was already in a full sprint as he got to Wilson who was now on the other side of the gym posted up against the wall. Once he got to where Wilson was he stopped and dropped his book bag on the floor next to him. I can tell heated words were being exchanged because Wilson stood up from the wall and got in Prince's face. The two boys went at t for about a minute or two as Andre and Dez were trying to keep the two separate. It looked like their efforts weren't working so I ran down from the bleachers and headed towards them. The whole gym watched as everyone was hoping that someone would throw the first punch and the fight would begin. Once I got there Prince and Wilson were still arguing.

  "You don't know the first thing about treating anybody with respect!" Prince screamed at Wilson.

  "Just like how you don't know the first thing about respect! I know about you and your horny lifestyle. You and your friend over there have been screwing girls in that whore house of yours!" Wilson screamed back.

  "Hey man! Watch yaself before I-" Andre scolded before prince stopped him.

  "Let him think what he wants. At the end of the day the only whore I see is him." Prince replied.

Wilson threw the first punch but Prince was quick enough to get out of the way and throw his hands up.

  "What's the matter scared to fight?" Wilson asked him after investing all of his strength into that punch.

Prince looked over at me then looked back at Wilson.

  "Nah. Regan was right. Fighting you ain't worth it. Keep Alley. I never thought she was all of that anyway."

Prince looked back over at me and smiled and I smiled back and thanked him for doing the right thing. Wilson let out a chuckle as Prince walked away.

  "I knew you would rather fuck the best friend. That's why I started talking to Regan in the first place. Too bad I never got the chance to show her what a real man feels like."

Prince abruptly faced Wilson and quickly jabbed him right in the center of his face.

  "Fuck you! And you better stay away from her." Prince said as he watched Wilson grab his nose.

Prince turned his back and walked my direction.

  "Sorry. He had it coming." Prince said time with a grin.

  "It's fine. Thank you though." I giggled.

He took my hand and as we began to walk back to the bleachers when Wilson charged full speed at Prince and jumped on his back. Prince let my hand go a grabbed Wilson by the collar slamming him hard on the floor face up and began to beat his face in. I tried to  pull Prince off of him but he was in rare form. After about three minutes of cheers from the other students around us the fight was broken up my two teachers. One male and one female. The male teacher pulled Prince off of Wilson and hoisted him away to the principals office. Andre and I looked at each other and then followed behind Prince. Andre went ahead as I stopped and turned back to see Wilson holding his face and trying to get the taste of blood out of his mouth. I walked up to him and slapped him with all the power I had.

  "I fucking hate you!" I shouted at him before walking away.

  "Regan! Hold up!" I heard Wilson say.

I just ignored him until he had the balls to come out of his mouth and say....

  "I never really liked you anyway prude bitch!"

I stopped turned around and ran my fist full speed into his face. Ten times. And that's how me and Prince wound up in the principals office on the second day of school! Bruises and all.
