Kyla

"Worked two shifts last night?" my mother stood over me as I opened my eyes

I groaned, stretching my body out "A shift and a half"

"Come on, Kyla" she sighed "I said no double shifts. Lilian's isn't a twenty four hour restaurant, how come you there so often?"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry" I stood up "At least you don't have to ask if I'm working hard or hardly working" I smirked

"I don't want you over working yourself"

"I got it mama" I nodded "No double shifts on the weekdays"

"Mhm. Don't let it interfere with school" she cracked a small smile "Get dressed, I'll drop you off before I go to work"

"Alright" I went in to peck her cheek

"Mm-mm, honeybun" she playfully pushed my face away, covering her nose

"That's foul" I chuckled, heading to the bathroom

"So is that morning breath" I heard her say before I closed the door

That's me, Kyla Marie Parker. I'm 17 years old, a senior at Kemp's Lake High School, a waitress at Lilian's diner, and currently still sleepy. Let me finish getting ready for school and I'll tell you more about myself.

"Thanks mama" I pecked my mom's cheek as we pulled up to the school "See you later, lil bit" I looked in the backseat at my five year old sister, Camryn

"Bye bye, Ky" she smiled

"Straight home after school today." my mom said

"Got it. Love you" I got out of the car, grabbing my book bag

"Love you too" her and my sister said back to me as I walked towards the front door of the school

I promised to tell y'all more about myself, and I will...just let me get myself situated first.
   I got here just as first bell was over. I watched as the halls began to fill up with students coming out of their first period class. I made my way to my locker, walking through the crowded hallway.

"Excuse me" there was a group standing in front of my locker

They moved, some of them gave me dirty looks while doing so. I don't pay it any mind though, most kids at this school just don't like me. It's been like that ever since my freshman year here. I've never done or said anything bad to anyone. I don't understand why they don't like me, but I really don't care. I come, do my work, then leave.

Mekai (Me-ky)

"Mr. Andrews, you're late" my calculus teacher said after noticing me trying to sneak into class

"I know, I apologize." I sat down

"Mhm. Stay behind after class" she said

"Then I'm gonna be late to my third period." I said in an obvious tone "And I actually like that class"

"One more word and that'll be detention"

"You know I don't give a shit right? You always getting on me about everything and I don't even be doing nothing" this teacher is always giving me hell

"Detention" she said, writing my name on the board "And I'll be speaking with the coach"

"Bitch" I smacked my teeth, putting my headphones in & starting the classwork she had on the board

That's me, Mekai Isiah Andrews. I just turned 18, I'm a senior, a star quarterback, and currently ready to fucking graduate.

I hate this school, I hate the classes and most of the people, but I want something to fall back on just in case football doesn't take off as a career. I don't want to be one of those dumb athletes.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder, so I looked up and took one plug out my ear. "What?" I rudely asked. I hate when people bother me while I have headphones in

The girl scoffed "Never mind."

"Then why you tap me?"' I squinted in annoyance

She ignored me, putting her attention into something else.

"Dumb bitch." I put the other earphone back in, blasting my music

"If you didn't finish the classwork, finish it for homework." The teacher said before the bell was about to ring "And we have a test tomorrow, so try to be here on time." She looked at me

I bit down on the inside of my jaw to keep from saying anything back. "Aye, where my wallet?" I felt my pockets

The bell rung and students started standing up, about to leave out. "Oh hell nah. Ain't nobody leaving out this bitch until I get my wallet." I announced

"Mr. Andrews, don't cause a scene. If your wallet is missing, you can go to the principal's office and make a complaint. Class is dismissed." She said, opening the door and letting the kids leave

"All my money and shit will be gone by then." I argued. "Why would you let them go?"

"Maybe if you were on time to class, you wouldn't have misplaced your wallet. Now have a nice day" she smiled

Just as I was about to say some cruel shit to her, I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Looking for this?"

The girl from earlier held my wallet in her hand. "You took my shit?"

"Don't need it." She shrugged "You dropped it on your way in class. That's what I was trying to tell you when you were being rude."

I checked to make sure everything was in there. Thankfully for her sake and mine, everything was just like I left it. "Yeah whatever." I placed the wallet back in my pocket

"Still a rude asshole I see." She headed out the door, going to her next class

I followed behind her "Fuck you talking to?"

"You. Someone does you a favor and you can't even say thank you. I should've thrown your shit in the trash." she continued walking through the loud halls

"Trust me, you would've regretted doing that." I still walked behind her. This bitch really think she's about to mouth off to me. Does she know who the fuck I am?

"Probably not. Now stop following me." I watched her hips move as she walked to her locker. She was about to open it, but I blocked her.

"You got a lot of balls talking to me like that." I looked her in the face. Her face definitely doesn't match her attitude.

"Yeah, huge ones. Now get out of my way." She pushed me, but I didn't budge, instead I grabbed her hands.

"You might wanna watch yourself." I pulled her to me and whispered in her ear

"That supposed to scare me or turn me on?" She yanked away

"Whichever one you prefer." I smirked

"Ugh" she scrunched up her face "I'll just come to my locker later." she started walking off

"Nice ass, baby girl!" I made sure she heard me

She turned around "Kiss it!" She stuck up her middle finger then headed off down the hall.

I don't know who she is, but she crazy. Cute as hell, but crazy.
