CHAPTER NINE

DARRIAN HAS BAD anger issues. he doesn't think of the outcome of what he says, he just says it. he was also quick to jump to conclusions so when celeste wasn't answering his texts he was more worried than angry.

that was when he found out dd had called her and she talked to him. he wasn't jealous, at least that's what he thought.

"yo look you ran ha away." notti nudged his arm and gestured to celeste who walked past there lunch table probably making her way to the library.

he found his eyes roaming her outfit which only consisted of a essentials hoddie paired with a pair of white sweats with her uggs. even tho he was "mad" at her he couldn't lie and say she didn't look pretty to him right now.

"stop staring at ha and go talk to her pussy." dd huffed before shoving chips in his mouth. ddot ignored him and pulled out his phone to distract himself.

that was until haven plopped next to him.

darrian looked up to her and saw her makeup caked up face. his face scrunched up from smelling her scent. she smelled like oranges, ew.

haven turned her head to face darrian and smirked which he just gave her a blank stare. "soo, you and my sister?" he heard her honeyed voice speak. he already hated her voice.

"sister?" he said signaling her to continue. "crystal- i mean celeste." she shook her head laughing nervously.

notti heard there conversation and side eyed her before speaking, "how you claim you ha sister but forgot her name?" he asked.

"word." dd agreed while mugging the orange haired girl. haven giggled slightly but stopped she she saw nobody was laughing with her.

darrian was fed up and lifted from his seat making haven stare at him while biting her lip. "ight imma go talk to my girl now──nigga move." darrian shoved her off and began walking away from the table.

the curly headed boy was stunned from his own actions. he was never the type to apologize first but here he is, walking to the library to talk to celeste.

he honestly didn't know what or who he was mad at, he wouldn't even call himself mad he just missed her and didn't like that fact he stood him up but called dd the next day.

darrian finally found the library door and walked through it making the small bell ring. ms gálvez saw him and sent him a smile before pointing towards the back of the library knowing he was looking for celeste.

darrian nodded and mouthed a 'thanks' to her then slowly walked to where she was sitting.

darrian was now standing in front of her and saw that she hasn't even noticed because she had her headphones in. "always in those damn headphones." he  mumbled to himself before tapping her shoulder.

celeste lifted her head up and saw him. she took the headphones out of her ears and placed it on the table.

darrian sat next to her and didn't say anything for the first five minutes. celeste was tired of the silence and decided to be the one to break it this time.

"hey." it was barely audible but darrian felt something in his stomach that he has never felt for a girl, like ever.

"i'm sorry." he mumbled, embarrased for the first time around her. he was so used to being the one that makes her nervous and he wants it to stay that way.

"hm?" celeste acted like she couldn't hear him but she could she just wanted to hear him say it again. "i'm sorry." he repeated himself, "for what?" she titled her head.

"for.. y'know ignoring you for nothin, like, that was my bad. you just made me worried when you wasn't answering your phone but then called dd and notti." he revealed.

celeste's face softened at the thought that he was just worried not mad. celeste cupped his face making him look at her, "d. i had my phone on dnd, i wasn't purposely ignoring you." she dropped her hands from his face and interlocked there fingers. "but i'm sorry for standing you up like that, now that's my bad."

darrian and celeste talked about what happened between there days they didn't talk then darrian mentioned haven.

"yo is you and haven related or sum shi? she said you was ha sister." celeste's face subconsciously scrunched up from the mention of her. "no. she's my mom's daughter."

darrian nodded and pulled his curls out his ponytail. "you should reallyyyy do my hair tonight." he insisted in which she just nodded while smilling.

WHEN CELESTE ENTERED her house she heard her dad yelling over the phone with someone. it was like she already knew who it was because of what he had said next, "no, no. scarlett she's not coming over here. are you out of yo damn mind?"

celeste sighed, knowing that haven would eventually have to come over to her house.

marc came out the room slinging his keys between his fingers with a stressed looked on his face. "i'm goin over scarlett's baby, call me if you need anything." he said when he saw his daughter came into view.

celeste couldn't even plaster a smile on her face, she was full on frowning and it didn't go unnoticed by her dad. marc frowned from the look on her face and brought her into a tight hug.

"she ain't comin here anytime soon, baby." he rubbed her back softly and layed a small kiss on her forehead.

"and i'm prolly gon have to fight with her all day, so how bout go to that lil boy's house and stay over for the night hm?" her dad suggested. celeste's frown immediately formed into a smile from the mention of darrian.

the girl just nodded and hid her excitement and slid nervousness when her dad was leaving.

celeste went up to her room and texted darrian if she could come over and stay the night. he had replied seconds later confirming she can. darrian also mentioned that dd and notti would also stay over.

the lightskin girl decided not to take a nap knowing she would sleep her self til the next day. she was a deep sleeper and knowing by her past mistakes she would even forget she had somewhere to go.

so she settled on doing her missing homework with her headphones in and set a alarm for six, as that was the time darrian would come pick her up.

while she was doing the missing work she saw a incoming call from darrian which she quickly picked up.

she sat the phone on a soft pillow that was centered on her legs so the camera was facing her with her head leaned on the headboard.

celeste heard shuffling on the other wide of the phone so she played with the pink fluffy bear that was next to her until darrian started talking.

darrian shifted his gaze to the phone and placed his attention on the girl on the screen. "my bad, hi mama." he greeted her and celeste smiled and mumbled a small 'hi' back.

"what you been doing?" he asked as he took inhlaed the smoke from the blunt he was smoking. celeste started talking about what she was doing but darrian got sidetracked by her beauty.

she honestly was the prettiest girl he's ever seen. and he wasn't scared to admit, he found his eyes lingering on her longer than they should. he liked how her skin always looked soft and smooth, how plump and pink her lips always looked, the way she always sounded delicate when speaking.

"darrian? d." celeste called for his attention a little louder this time making darrian snap out of the trance she had him in. "hm? my bad ma. you so pretty." he complimented her.

celeste smiled and looked away knowing how red her cheeks always got when someone compliments her.

"but, i just wanted to check up on you. i'll come pick you up in a bit so get ready ight?" he informed her before taking out the blunt on his ashtray that was sitting next to him on the bed.

celeste just nodded and closed the black binder that had her work in. "i'll text you when i'm outside, safety ma." "safety." and with that the call disconnected.

celeste lifted from her bed and went to take a short shower. she changed into a white tank top covered up with her brown juicy couture tracksuit, and slipped on her uggs fluffy slippers on. she decided to do nothing with her hair since the braids still looked good.

the girl grabbed a small tote bag and placed clothes to sleep in & go to school with the next day juat incase. celeste grabbed small neccities before hearing the doorbell ring.

she grabbed her phone and made her way downstairs to the front door, she took the black jacket before opening the door.

"hi ma." darrian pulled her into a hug. celeste smiled into his neck before letting go. "we walking?" she asked while darrian interlocked there  fingers together. "mhm."

the two walked to his house, engaging in a conversation.  "oh, notti and dd want you to they hair too. if you wanna." darrian brung up. "yeah. i got nothin else to do anyways." celeste shrugged before smiling.

they eventually made it to there house and walked in.  celeste started looking around until her eyes landed on  a woman that standing in the kitchen washing dishes that were in the sink.

she assumed that was darrian's mom and started feeling nervous already. "mami, i'm home." darrian said making his mom turn around. her face turned into a smile before dropping the plates into the sink and walked over the two.

"my love, eres la chica bonita de la que mi hijo ha estado hablando!" she gushed and cups her cheeks in her hands making celeste smile. but darrian on the other hand is groaning in embarrassment.

"grácias." celeste replied humbly, darrian's mom face lifted from the fact that she speaks spanish. she brung her into a hug then pulled darrian by the ear behind them so celeste didn't see, "y habla español! ella es perfecta, no te metas con ella." she whispered before slapping him in his chest softly.

"i'm gonna let you guys go now, have fun my babies!!" her thick dominican accent came out when she spoke.

before celeste could even wave bye, darrian pulled her by the hand upstairs to his room rushing to get out of the embarassing moment.

"don't belive anything she say she lies a lot." darrian claimed making celeste laughed at his embarrassed state. he opened the door to his room to see dd with his headset on yelling at someone on the game and notti on live while smoking a blunt.

notti was the first to notice them, "yooo." he greeted the two while spinning on the chair. celeste waved at the two and followed darrian who sat on his bed.

"who's going first?" she asked mentioning doing the boys hair as she took out the hair products to use. ethan quickly slid in between her legs making darrian mug him. celeste laughed at his frustration before taking the hair tie out of his hair.

"are you tender headed?" she asked while laying a hand on his curly hair, notti shook his head in response.

she started working on his hair as the boys started talking or well just dd yelling. "my heart celeste doin my hair right now, bouta get litt." notti showed the live celeste braiding his hair. she smiled at the camera showing her pearly whites.

maybe a hour later passed and she was done with notti. "ight, i'm done." she said. "thank you celll." notti got up and hugged her around the neck, choking her a little.

darrian shoved notti out the way while he was walking to celeste making them mug eachother. "my sons mad cause notti got his hair done by his girllll first." dd pointed out spinning around his chair.

celeste laughed slightly as darrian got in between her legs. "now i know you tender headed, baby." she claimed  patting his head. darrian felt his face heat up from the nickname and started cheesing.

"mmcht i got the munchies." darrian whined, halfway through when celeste was braiding his hair gently. celeste pulled one of her hands out his hair and took doritos bag out of her tote bag and gave it to him.

darrian smiled so much it reached up to his eyes, making small wrinkles form around them. "thank you mami." he thanked her as he opened the doritos bag.

celeste nodded and continued his hair, then she heard her phone ring and notti picked it up since he was the closet to it.

"notti, answer it for me." notti nodded and accepted the call, "hello?" celeste could already tell it was isis from her deep voice. "hi? were celeste at?" isis's face came into the frame seeing notti.

"yo." he greeted her and isis's smiled at him, "ooo i don't know who you is but you so prettyyy." she complimented him. isis had always been open with her feelings, she never kept if to herself and was always honest even if it came off rude.

"stop playin with me, thank you tho ma." he sent her a smile and kept talking to her making celeste snap her head to him. "nigga ain't that my cousin?"  she emphasized on the word my while mugging him.

"she's mine now nigga." before she could even say anything notti ran out the room with her phone.

celeste kissed her teeth in irritation while finishing darrian's last braid. she finally finished and turned him around to see the braids. "ouu, look at you pretty boy." she said as she looked through the fresh braids.

"thank you, mama." he kissed her cheek before patting it. "david reyes! get yo ass here before i don't do yo hair no more." she said loud enough for the stream to hear.

"aii. bye chat, imma get my hair done bye wifey bye y'all." he grinned goofily at the camera whispering the wife part knowing if darrian heard him he would wanna fight.

when he sat in between her legs she pulled the comb extra hard through his hair because of the slick comment he said. "ow!" he winced rubbing the part she pulled roughly.

"what i ever do to you?" he asked frowning making her laugh before mushing his head back. "don't get smart with me boy." she replied smartly.

now that celeste was more comfortable around the boys she found her self being happy more often. if it wasn't for them she would probably be taking a nap in her bed right now but here she is sitting with her favorite people.
