chapter fourteen: news

Chapter 14

it's only been a week since we started dating and the word spread throughout the school. I couldn't figure out exactly how the whole school got to know but, I was not against it. It was high time I needed some respect in the girls squad.

"So if it isn't Micheal's new play toy".... Ray-ray said as she approached my locker.

"What do you want this time whore",I replied rudely.

"Stay..away... from...my..man", Ray-ray warned me.

"Or what?...what are you going to do. For your information, Michael and I are dating and there's nothing you can do about it.

Ray-ray just smiled as she left with her goons. That bitch! I hate her. i was about leaving when I ran into max.

"Tina what is this I hear about you and Michael? "...., are you seriously his girlfriend?" Max asked with seriousness.

"Yeah... and what do you think you're doing here?", I replied rather rudely.

"Just answer me Tina...!!!!!

"Stop shouting at me max, you heard right we are dating. You should probably settle things with jade, instead of meddling in my affairs"

" you don't know what you've done," he muttered before leaving.

Max walked away angrily, I wonder what's his problem, he is never like this.

was there something he was not telling me? something he's hiding?... I couldn't stop thinking about this in class.

I went for recess, searching for my boyfriend. I really just wanted to see him, to be with him, .....and there he was on the field, playing football with his friends. He spotted me and smiled, coming towards me with a ball in his hands. He welcomed me with a long deep kiss, I could see his friends cheer and smile in the background.

"Yo...lover boy, come up for air already" they said slapping each other high fives.

"Where have you been baby, ".

Michael asked, Ignoring their comments.

"Wellllllllllll, I haven't been doing anything soo, I should probably ask you"..I answered in a flirty voice.

"Is that so?ミ●﹏☉ミ" Michael asked, pulling me closer now.

"Hey bro...you still playing or should we just watch you two make babies." one Michael's friends asked while patting him on his back.

" Sure I'll play"..."baby, could you please watch my bag while I go play, it would only take ten minutes and besides, when we're done I can call my driver to come pick us up."

"Okay, No problem "...I said, as I sat on the bleacher.

*Beep....beep*....,

Michael's phone kept ringing. But I couldn't answer it, he was playing football. Besides, that will be rude.

*Beeeep...beeep.....beeep....beeeep*...

Whoever is calling must have something urgent to tell him, and besides, I'm his girlfriend. I quickly picked up the phone and answered;

"Hello......"

"Hello.., hello.., is that Michael. I've been trying to call you, why are you still doing this to me"...I heard the female voice say.

"Uhmm....this is tina, his girlfriend, Michael_____",beep*

She hanged up on me. Wow! The audacity!.

*Incoming message*

Kimberly

* Don't do this to me, Michael. You're all I've got. 😭😭😭😢🙎*

I couldn't help but think,who is she to him and why is she begging him like this. More questions kept popping into my head, and I couldn't help but wonder WHO IS SHE?..

I spotted Michael coming and quickly kept his phone back into his backpack.

"Heyyyyy... babe", I said nervously " how did the practice go?"

"Well it was okay ,since, younno....you came to watch me". he replied while holding my hand.

Still sweating out of my nervousness, I had to ask..

"Your phone was ringing and I answered it. I think it was from Kimberly or something.

Baby, who is she?,....I was getting red now.

"Michael's mood seemed to change for some second, but he still smiled.

"She's my cousin, from my mother's side. She got into some trouble with some guys, and now they're asking her for Money.", suddenly he sighed ;

"This is not the first time she's getting herself in trouble. I just don't want to be someone she'll keep depending on, whenever she has problems".

I could see his eyes. His dark eyes. They seemed to pierce my soul as he told me his story. Now I see his normal side, the part of him that I think i fell for, his good side. I held his hands and hugged him;

"Everything will be fine"..,I whispered into his ears.

"Thanks so much baby,'' he said still holding me. "But promise me something, you won't check my phone again sweetheart. I deal with so many bad people and I don't want them to hurt you, especially now they know you're my weakness.''

Now I couldn't stop myself. I've really fallen for him and his sweet words. He wasn't only kind but he was selfless too, how I wished we was at his place. I would have shown him how much he means to me.

"Well... Michael I've got to go", I said detaching from him.

''jade is probably waiting for me''.
