It Started with a BET

Chapter Fourteen

Zemela's POV:-)

"Good morning daddy" I greeted, he nodded not looking at me. He has been really busy lately.

"I'll be going to Skyler's after school" I told him, I planned on asking not informing, I practiced how to ask him but my mouth doesn't buy the idea.
She invited me over to celebrate since we couldn't finish up on Friday.
"For what?" He asked
"For a project" I lied.

"Can't you do it in school?" He asked
"Not really we__"
"Do it in school and come back home, just one hour extra" he concluded cutting me shut.

Arghhhhh!

My morning is already ruined, I hate when my dad does stuffs like that even though it's something he does always, I'm meant to be used to it, yeah? I am used to it actually but I can't help but get angry over and over again.

                                  ~
My mind flashed to the look on Bryson Griffin's face from Friday night, why were they fighting? Why did he look so dangerous and emotionless.

"....Mela!" Skyler hugged me distracting me from my thoughts.
"Hey Nerdy" Sadiki hugged my head.

"What's wrong?" She frowned.
"My dad refused" I told her.
She chuckled, "I don't know why you bother asking him, but then he wouldn't know would he?" A hint of mischief in her voice she smiled.

"I__"
"Morning" Arlo cut me shut.
"Hey Arlo" Skyler smiled.
Arlo nodded at me, "what's wrong?"

I must be frowning really bad.
"Her dad stopped her from coming over as always" Skyler told him. His mouth formed an 'O'. "We could all hang out then" Arlo suggested.

Sadiki stared at him shaking his head, "if she isn't allowed to go to a girlfriend's house, what makes you think she can hang out with us guy friends?" Sadiki asked him.

"True" he pouted shrugging.

"Don't worry girlfriend he wouldn't know" Skyler assures me.

"That would be__" Skyler glared at Arlo at the same the bell went off.

Wait a minute! I'm early to school! Oh my Chocolate!!

                                  ~
I went through classes like a dummy, I could feel Bryson Griffin's lazer eyes on me all through our classes. I wonder why he's in school, Reggie Abdon isn't in school could he be in the hospital? My bad! Bryson Griffin's face was a mess but he still managed to look good.

Stupid him!

Closing bell went off and I sang praises to God.
"Zemela" Bryson Griffin held me... I'm angry with him, he was acting all unbothered after getting me detention.

I looked up meeting his bruised good looking face.

Fuck him!

Did he see me and Reggie kiss?
Is that why he wants to talk?

"Why did you kiss him?" He asked confirming my suspicion, he saw us kissing.

Wait! Why do I care?

I found my confidence, "I owe you no explanation"
"Yeah, I agree but__"

"Let's go Mela" Skyler tried dragging me away glaring at Bryson Griffin, I had told her how he was the cause of my detention.

"You shouldn't trust her" he warned me in a loud whisper.
I looked at Skyler then at him and then scoffed, "you are nobody to tell me who to trust not when you don't care about anyone but yourself now let me go!" I glared at his fingers on my arm.
