Chapter 21: chapter 20
Abbie's pov,
"Brandy, hey." He turns around and I'm waving vigorously jumping to catch his attention.
"Abbie." He matches my energy and waves back then I jog to where he stood waiting for me to catch up.
"Hey, it's unlike you to be in this part of campus." The field was really not his thing.
"I came to clear my head."
"Is everything okay?" I begin to get worried and he laughs and I get confused.
"Isn't it funny how human perceive life? Like I just said I came to clear my head and you think something is wrong. Je vais tre's bien.
"Aaah," I laugh trying to hide my embarasment.
"The president chick you hang out with is playing today?"
"Yea. It's a friendly." He tries to bring the normal mood back and I take the cue fast to avoid further awkwardness.
"All cool, you watch her I need to get to something."
"Rynna? Why not stick around a minute."
"Yeiks girl it's really important. I will catch you later." He smiles and walks away. I watch him disappear.
"Something is definitely wrong." Yea I said that out loud and everyone gives unsatisfied glares at me. I turn to excuse myself and enter the hall looking around for empty seats.
"Abbie." Chanel's bff Mitchie waves at me and I see an empty seat besides her. I wave back and let out my best 'please let me come seat there' smile. Oh wait, Chanel is there too. I stop smiling for a while to think. Hey, it's a seat it's not like you sitting on her lap. I walk fast and when I get there Chanel switches and seats where the empty seat was.
"Oops. Taken." She stares up at me and I really want to pop those eyes with my fingers.
"Oh, okay, but you know ass doesn't get bigger by sitting on two chairs right? Oh, and dyeing hair blonde?" I let out a chuckle. She stares and stands. Mitchie pushes to my side and thank God she's separating the two of us.
The game is about to commerce and everyone is betting on Kiara. I knew she was good but people betting on her? This is sooo coool!
The commentator releases the screens for the score counting and the game begins. Kiara throws a glance at me and smiles when I wake up to cheer so loud that everyone's eyes are on me and I feel really stupid for it. Chanel did not miss the golden chance to laugh. What's her problem anyway.
Soon the game is over and Kiara had the most dribbles and shoots as well as scores. Damn, she's good, what am I good at? The whole team is celebrating and the guest team is frowned and leaving. It's a good thing we didn't loose in our home. What an embarrassment it could have been right?
"You never do anything quietly uuh." Sally says behind me after I squeal when he tickles my waist from behind.
"Don't do that! I could have fallen and died! Then what?" Yea that was so over.
"Why do you always say that. It always has to be a heart attack or death. You fear death that much?" He is leading me out of the hall and I Remember I didn't say goodbye to Mitchy but Chanel...
"Don't you?"
"Fear death? It's something that will happen to all of us sometime."
"I know but..."
"We had a win today let's not discuss death. Shall we?" He is pointing at the icecream palour and I can't say no to icecream.
"You have..." He shows with his finger and I understand he's talking about my cheek or lip having icecream stains.
"Here?" I have no idea where he's pointing his finger is all over my face in my pov.
"No, lower." I scrub lightly below my nose. "No," he get's up. "Let me help." He gets the cream and sits back.
Wtf is he doing?
We are laughing as we walk down the hallways and across to the hostels. He holds my hand and my body makes a jump but he doesn't let go. I look down to the part where out hands meet and look up at him. I look ahead quick in the fear of being caught staring.
Henry and some other dudes walk towards us and he suddenly lets go of my hand and keeps his distance. Wow.
"Bruuh" they do the shoulder bump hugs and it's like he suddenly doesn't recognize me.
"Abbie right? Bruh!!" He looks at Sally and does a dramatic finger click biting his lip and they all laugh.
Are they laughing at me?
"Uuh, sorry I need to rush. My roommate just texted me." I lie and leave and it's like I was never there. Sally does not even look my way one bit.
I try the knob and it opens. I stomp into the room and Prudy is sniffing white substance on the table.
"Prudy?" I call out carefully as if I feared my voice was going to break glass. She stares at me plainly and bends back to sniff a whole strap.
"What... Is that..." She does the shhh sound on me and i lower my voice. " Is that cocaine?" I whisper.
She laughs hysterically and sits up.
"Come..." She builds another strap or so I called it. Here. She hands me a rolled paper.
"What the hell. This is a hostel we going to get caught."
"Don't be a p**** c'mon. Go on, it's fun."
"No! You need to stop! Imma call Kiara. stay right there."
"Don't! This is who I am. I'm done with all this tryna be a good girl shit! I'm tired of tryna please people and so should you Abbie beiby, you think Sally will love you? He has never loved anyone. He uses them and you are not even his type! He's gonna fuck you and fuck Kiara after that or maybe me! Uuh, tell me, do you wanna live for that guy or do you wanna be you? C'mon." What she said might be true. Half of it well all of it except the part of being me. I don't do drugs and I don't wanna be that girl.
"What's you thinking about? Your drama queen mom? Mine died. I killed her. I killed them." She laughs this time pain evident and sniffs the strap she had made and another and another then stares at me.
"I watched them bur..." Blood starts dripping from her nose.
"Oh shit!" I rush to hold her as she passes out.
