look herself in the mirror, brushing her hair. When the front kept sticking up, she sigh to herself. She grabbed her headband off her dresser and put it on. Taking a step back a little, she look at her full outfit.

She had on an Aaliyah shirt with grey leggings. Dark Grey Jordan 12s on her feet. She only wore them after seeing the boy from yesterday wearing them, which reminded her that she had a pair of her own. After putting on her jewelry and her glasses, she got the rest of her things then headed out her room.

She walked down the hall going to her aunts room. Knocking on the door, she peeked in seeing her aunt still asleep. A random man who was half naked sleeping beside her. Blu shook her head, walking into the room and over to her aunt.

"Auntie!" She exclaimed, shaking her. Erica woke up, Blu rolling her eyes.

"Whatchu need girl?" Erica asked and Blu mentally roll her eyes.

"I need you to take me to school." Blu told her.

"What time is it?"

"7:15." Erica quickly shot up after hearing the time.

"Damn girl, why you wake me up so late?" She asked, tossing the covered off her naked body. Blu quickly turned her head not wanting to see her aunt body.

"Girl, don't act like that. We have the same shit." Erica told her, putting in a robe.

"Brittney left?" She asked, sliding her feet in her slippers. She tied her robe then her and Blu walked out the bedroom.

"You already know she did." Blu answered as they walked downstairs.

Brittney, the head cheerleader, was Blu half sister. Their dad, Redd, ended up cheating on Brittney mom in revenge after her mom cheated first. It was a petty situation and out of it, Blu was born. Her dad and Brittney mom were two petty adults that really didn't deserve to be with each other.

And Blu mom was just a bystander. It was a one night stand gone wrong basically. Brittney and Blu didn't get along even though they were related. Brittney was spoiled and didn't like the fact that she had a sister, so because of that she made sure to make Blu feel unwanted. She wanted their dad to herself, so she could be daddy's little princess.

Unfortunately, she couldn't.

Blu didn't worry about Brittney not one bit. She was good with her not liking her cause she didn't care. Blu was very nonchalant about things. Nothing really fazed her unless it was personal or if she made herself care about it. And even though, Brittney tries her hardest to get on Blu bad side, it never worked.

She was just nonchalant like that.

They walked out the house and got in the car. Erica started up the car while Blu put her seatbelt on. She put her AirPods in, leaning back in the seat. She went to her music and played Teenage Love Affair by Alicia Key.

"Are we going to switch?" Brittney asked, her hands on her hips.

Blu look back seeing Brittney and her friends up on her. She roll her eyes, shutting her locker door.

"Switch what?" She asked, putting her purse on her shoulder.

Brittney roll her eyes, "Partners in Mr. Brown class. We're switching." She told her, Blu rolling her eyes and started walking.

"Umm, don't walk away from me!" Brittney shouted, Blu ignored her still walking off. She didn't have time for her at all.

She walked into the cafeteria that was crowded with students that got breakfast. Once she seen her friends, she started walking over to them.

Jahseh look up from his notebook once he seen Blu. His eyes followed her until she took a seat at a table with some other girls. He look away and was met with Dexter eyes staring at him.

"What?" He asked, Dexter smiling.

"You was staring mighty hard there, Mr. Smith." Dexter joked, Jahseh smacking his lips.

"Don't." He told him, going back on his notebook.

He wasn't able to finish his homework last night since his dad was making his practice. They were up until one in the morning training in the garage. He was lifting weights, doing about one hundred push-ups and more. He was sore by the time he went to sleep and he had to do it all over again today at actual football practice.

"What? I'm just saying what I saw. She's pretty, you know her?" Dexter asked, Jahseh shook his head already knowing what was about to happen.

Whenever Jahseh found an interest in a girl-which was rare-Dexter would get into this mode. The mode Jahseh calls The Wingman mode. Dexter literally would do a lot just to get Jahseh and whatever girl together. He like pairing people together, and they usually do end up together in the end.

"I don't know her, know her. She's in my class though." He answered, Dexter nodded his head.

"Wanna-"

"No." Jahseh quickly told him before he got up. Dexter frowned, Jahseh shaking his head.

"Your a party pooper."

"Oh well."

"Jahseh, stop being lazy and let's go!" Apollo shouted before blowing his whistle.

Jahseh took a deep breath feeling the urge to throw up. He took off his shirt, wiping his face then tossing it on the ground. After taking another deep breath, he started his sprint to the 10 yard line and back. He did that again going to the 20, the 30, and so for.

He kept going right along with his teammates. The more he ran, the sicker he felt. He also got annoyed the more he heard his dad shout his name. Out of all 30 players on the team, Apollo only called Jahseh out. It was getting annoying and he was getting frustrated.

"JAHSEH, STOP BEING LAZY AND LET'S GO!" Apollo shouted and Jahseh had his breaking point.

"Bro, stop fucking calling me!" Jahseh shouted back catching everyone off the guard. His teammates all stopped to watch the interaction.

"I'm not your damn bro, so get back on the line now!" Apollo shouted back.

"I'm not getting on shit. You pissing me off steady calling my name." Jahseh continued shouting, his anger coming all out.

Usually his brother would be here to help calm him, but he wasn't. And that made him even more angry. He was still upset about his brother being gone as well as his dad picking on him.

He was just over it.

"That's how football is, so get over it. You wanna keep having your petty moment, you can leave."

"Man, fuck football and this stupid ass team." Jahseh muttered, walking off the field.

"So, your leaving?" Apollo asked as they all watched him walk off. "That's unsportsmanlike Smith!"

"BRO, STOP FUCKING TALKING TO ME!" Jahseh exploded. He grabbed his stuff then headed towards the school building.

Reaching it, he swung the door opened and walked inside. He was beyond pissed, his fist balled up right by his side. He wanted to just punch something until his knuckles ended up bleeding. That's how pissed he was.

Walking to his locker, he grabbed the lock and attempted to put his code in. However, he was too angry that he was having a hard time.

"Maybe you should relax first." He look over seeing that girl. Blu walked over to him, pushing her glasses back a little.

"Not to be rude, but I got this." He told her, Blu nodded her head.

"Right, you got this, but it looks like your struggling. Relax first then do it." She repeated herself, Jahseh biting the inside of his lip.

"I really don't need help from a random to open a locker, so I'm good." He told her.

Blu hummed, "What's your code?" She asked, pushing him to the side a little. Jahseh sigh, not bothering to fight with her.

"12-26-38." He told her, she nodded her head putting the code in.

She unlocked the lock and opened his locker. She turned towards him and gave him a small smile.

"Maybe if you was to listen to me, you would've gotten it. Plus, my name is Blu not a random." She told him, handing him his lock.

Jahseh tuck in his lips and she was started walking away.

"Uhh, thank you." He thanked her.

She turned around to face him, "Your welcome Mr. Meanie." She said, turning back around and walking off.

Jahseh let out another sigh, taking his stuff out his locker. He shut the door then put his bag on his back and began walking the opposite way. Sadly, he had to wait until practice was over to go home cause his dad was his ride.

He couldn't wait to get his own car soon.
