Amayah

I'm back to school after spending a nice weekend with D. I haven't told the girls that me and him are a couple yet but they will soon. Skipping happily down the hall, towards the girls who were holding a very intense conversation making me slow down my steps and creep behind them, hearing a little bit of the converstation.

" The letter said we need to try to keep them away from eachother." Aaliyah said to Lisa with her back turned to me, not noticing me right behind them opening the locker. "Yes but how?" Lisa asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows and decided to jump in. "What letter?" I asked and they jumped and turned around quickly with suprised expressions on their faces.

"Amayahh... Heyy..." Lisa dragged awkwardly. I raised my brow curiously while rummaging through my locker. "What are you two chicken heads talking about?"

"N-nothing.." Aaliyah stuttered. I stopped my actions and raised my brow suspiciously. " You got another letter?" I asked. Lisa and Aaliyah exchanged looks. I eyed both of them suspiciously.

"Should we just tell her?" I heard Aaliyah ask Lisa. I furrowed my eyebrows at my friends, wanting to know about what their hiding." Tell me what?" Aaliyah sighed. " You already know about the one letter, right?" She asked. I slightly widened my eyes as if im saying' obviously'.

"Well.. I have been getting more of them and somebody has bee-

Aaliyah cut her sentence short when someone wrapped their arms around my waist. I looked down and I saw red roses held by two caramel hands and I immediately smiled when I felt his big lips kiss my cheek before whispering in my ear." Hi, beautiful."

I blushed and turned my body around so I can wrap my arms around his neck. He kissed me passionately but I pulled away shyly, sensing that people around the hall were staring. I buried my face in his chest before saying a quiet. "Hi." To him.

I pulled away from his embrace to meet his gaze as he glanced down at the flowers and then back at me. "For you." He said and handed them to me. I blushed. "Thank you." I said before he chuckled." Your welcome." He said before leaning in again and pecking my lips, slowly. I blushed even more and looked over at Aaliyah and she had a shocked expression on her face and Lisa had this expression.

I giggled at them." What?" I asked. Aaliyag pointed at us. " So you guys are like a thing now?"

I smiled excitedly." Yeahh.. D is my boyfriend now." I said and giggled while Donald rested his chin against my shoulder. Both of their expressions dropped and they exchanged looks. "Wait like forreal?" Lisa asked." Yeah forreal." I said furrowing my eyebrows and my chuckling slowly dying down and my smile turned into a frown. "You guys don't seem very excited for me.."

Lisa shook her head quickly as Aaliyah stayed silent." No no! We are its just it was a shock for us but we are happy for you." She smiled but I could tell it was forced.

Something ain't right..

After a little awkward silence Donald excused himself but not before giving me a kiss. I turned to Lisa and Aaliyah and frowned at them." What was that all about?"

"Nothing it's..... nothing." Aaliyah said before looking down. I furrowed my eyebrows even more growing irritated." Really guys? Whats up with yall?"

They stayed silent, exchanging looks once in awhile. I rolled my eyes." Look..  If you guys really have a problem you can just tell me." I said.

Aaliyah sighed before folding her arms." Look are you really sure about this?" She mumbled." Sure about what?" I asked confused.

She rolled her eyes annoyingly." About Donald. He seems like a nice guy and all but don't you think you guys are moving too fast?" She asked worriedly.

I shrugged. " Well he asked and I just wanted to see what happends." She sighed. I cocked my head to the side my whole mood starting to drop. "Whats really up you guys? At first you guys were encouraging me to go for it and now you guys acting different.." I sighed." What made you change your minds?" I asked.

They again glanced at eachother before looking back at me. Aaliyah grabbed my arm and pressed her lips together. "Just... Don't rush into things, okay?" I sighed before nodding.

"Lets have a girls night today, aight?" Lisa asked. I nodded." Aight sure." I said before grabbing my books and walking away.

Something is up with those two and i'm going to find out what ever their hiding from me.

Lisa

I watched as Amayah walked away before grabbing Aaliyahs hand and pulling her towards the school library.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked while I still kept pulling her. "We gon skip today. Come on." I pulled her in the library not really paying attention to my surroundings.

We went to the back and sat down." Okay okay. So listen. I think I know who has been sending you them letters." I said as I digged in her bag and found them letters in a stack wrapped in a red rubber band.

She had a confused look on her face." What? How?" She said while I took off the rubber band and spread the letters on the table in front of us.

"I think I know what MJB stands for." I excitedly said. She raised her brow." Why are you excited about this?"

I waved off her question and she frowned at me." Some girls were talking about this girl named Melanie, Melody or Mehlani, kehlani.." I frowned as I tried to remember the names." But anyway. One of the girls said that Melanie or melody or whatever the girl name is, used to go to school here." I said. Aaliyah stared at me before slightly widening her eyes waiting for me to continue. "And?"

"Aannd." I dragged and that made Aaliyah roll her eyes." I kept listening and they said. Melanie.. if thats the name.." I said and Aaliyah rolled her eyes again." Melanie Jeanne Beatiste." I said proudly thinking that it is the right name. Aaliyah just squinted her eyes.

"Is she associated with Donald?" She asked. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"What makes you think that she could be associated with Donald?" I asked obviously confused. Aaliyah frustratingly ran her hand across her face.

"You need to make sure if the person we are looking for is associated with Donald. I mean who else could be warning us about him if they don't know nothing about him?" She asked.

"Yeah I know but Li, think about it. It could be her." I argued." And what makes you think that its a her?" She argued back. We kept arguing back and forth about the names for about good 15 minutes. Still not figuring out what the name is.

I groaned in frustration." I don't think its any of those names Li. We should just give u-

I stopped mid sentence when I saw a girl with brown shoulder lenght straight hair and bushy eyebrows walk towards us.

"Hi... umm sorry to interrupt but that girl over there." She pointed behind us and we turned to look at where she was pointing at and we saw a girl quickly walk past with a hoodie on. I couldn't see her face because of how fast she was walking towards the school exit but all I could make out was blonde hair and white hands.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Who could that be. I turned back to look at the girl." Told me to give you this." She gave me a letter and I immediately exchanged looks with Aaliyah. I took the letter and opened it.

I frowned before turning to the girl who was still standing in front of us. " Did you see her face? Do you know her? What does she look like?" I said while passing the letter to Aaliyah.

She shrugged cluelessly." I'm sorry. I don't know her and I couldn't really see her face with the baseball cap and the hoodie covering her face but I could definetly tell it's a she."

I nodded and we stayed silent for awhile before she spoke up again. " Even though I don't know what the letter is about.. To me it seemed like she really wanted to be very lowkey.. You know hidden from the public." She said. I just stared at Aaliyah and Aaliyah stared at the letter.

"H-how do you know?" I asked. She shrugged Lazily." I've read too many undercover stories..." She said and looked at us awkwardly." Okay. Bye." She ran away quickly.

"Mary Jane Bullock.." Aaliyah repeated before passing me the letter and I just kept staring at the name.

"Now where have I heard the name before?" She asked quietly to herself. I pursed up lips as a question popped in my head.

"You think she related to Tina turner?" I asked Aaliyah, snapping her out of her thoughts and she gave me the look like I have two heads.

"What?!" She asked. I shrugged." Her last name is Bullock. Just Like Anne Maes. Eat the cake Anne mae, eat the cake." I started to imitate Ike turner and she frowned at me.

"Might as well say. Eat the cake Mary Jane, eat the cake." I said. Her frown deepened." Bitch." She said before snatching the letter from me. "You a whole fool. What does that have to do with anything?" She hissed at me.

I shrugged." Had to ask." She just shook her head.
