“I’m not fighting over no nigga!” One of the two girls who had a circled crowd formed around the lunch table they were at said to the other.

“But I am. So you either gon get the fuck up and fight back or stay seated while I do yo shit in.” The other girl told her.

Some people in the crowd had their phones out recording, others made commentary about which girl they wanted to win.

“Chy is this necessary?” I spoke up.

Oh yeah, the girl who was standing was my friend. My best friend actually. Her name was Chyna.

“Yes! This stupid ass bitch KNEW he was my nigga.” Chyna said with a mug on her face not taking her eyes off of Jonae, the girl who was sitting down.

“Well bitch you need to be talking to him! The nigga who owed you loyalty not me!” Jonae spat back.

“Oh trust and believe I went to work on his cheating ass. You next, so stand the fuck up.” Chyna pointed to her and took a step back.

I took a step back as well, maybe even two. Cause if you knew how Chyna got down you would know that once she take that step back she about to swing.

“I just said I’m not—”

“Well get this ass whooping then.” Chyna cut her off before sending a punch right in Jonae’s face causing her to let out a scream.

Chyna then got a hold of Jonae’s collar and dragged her out of her seat at the lunch table onto the ground and got on top of her and immediately started sending multiple blows to her face mainly.

Jonae didn’t even attempt to fight back, she was too busy screaming and begging Chyna to get off of her. And when she was fighting back her hits weren’t doing much damage.

“Fucking on somebody nigga when you don’t even know how to fight is crazyyyy.” A random person in the crowd said.

“Exactly!” Others agreed.

Eventually one of Jonae’s homegirls stood up.

“Get the fuck offa her!” The friend yelled and ran over to the two and grabbed a handful of Chyna’s hair to get her off.

I let out a sigh and used the scrunchie that was around my wrist to tie my hair up into a ponytail because I was about to jump in.

While I think this whole fight is unnecessary, I’m not finna let nobody jump my friend.

By this point the girl who jumped in was hitting Chyna in the back of her head and I immediately ran over to the girl and pushed her back before swinging her down to the ground and got on top of her.

Her hair was all in her face so she couldn’t see where she was swinging. That gave me the advantage to start punching her all in her face.

“YOU DUMB TRIFLING HOE!” I heard Chyna yell at Jonae.

“GET HER CHYNA!”

“BEAT HER ASS KIYARI!”

I heard the people in the crowd chanting for me and Chyna mostly. As I’m beating the fuck outta the girl on the ground I felt a strong pair of arms scoop me up and remove me from her while I tried to get out of whoever’s grip I was in.

“STOP!” The person yelled at me and I realized it was a security guard.

I looked over at Chyna and saw a guard removing her as well. Jonae and her friend remained on the floor.

We definitely finna get sent home for some days I thought to myself.

Once the security guards removed us from the cafeteria we were sent into the principal’s office. We were now sitting waiting for him to come in.

“I whooped that trick.” Chyna laughed a little.

“I still don’t think you should’ve fought her.” I said truthfully.

“I don’t give a fuck. Like I said she knew I was fucking with Von. She used to be on dick liking our stories and posts of each other and all. It would’ve been different if she wasn’t doing allat. She knew.” Chyna defended.

I mean she do got a point. Jonae one weird ass female.

“How many days you think we getting?” I looked at her.

“Five max.” She responded.

Suddenly the door opened and in walked the principal. Mr. Harris. Once he took a look at the both of us he shook his head. There was a silence until he got to his chair and took a seat.

“Why is it that when one of you is in my office, so is the other one?” He questioned.

“Cause we a package deal.” Chyna replied.

“Cause bad bitches come in twos.” I said causing me and Chyna to laugh but once we saw the serious look on Harris’ face we stopped.

“This is the third time in less than a month the two of you have been in a fight.” He told us.

We were well aware of how many fights we’ve been in here. We had way more in the summer time.

“And this the third time this month one of your disgusting students have tried to play in our face. I keep telling them I’m not the one.” Chyna shrugged her shoulders.

Mr. Harris looked between the both of us before folding his hands and placing them on his desk.

“Five days. Both of you.” He said significantly.

“Told you.” Chyna whispered to me.

“And, when you two return…you will no longer have classes with one another except for lunch.” He said and the both of us immediately mugged him.

“You can’t do that!” I sat up in my seat.

“Exactly! Like what we almost four months into the school year you can’t just change our classes around. That’s not fair.” Chyna added on.

“I’m the principal of this school I can do whatever I want. I already have spoken to both of your parents and they all agree. You two together is trouble. Maybe not being with one another every second of the day will make you two find that you have minds of your own and not a mind of one.” Mr. Harris told the both of us.

I scoffed and sat back in my chair again.

“Unbelievable.” Chyna shook her head.

“Your parents are in the main office waiting for you. You’re dismissed.” He said before handing us our suspension papers.

Me and Chyna got up and exited the office quietly. We were going to our lockers to get our things so we could go home.

“There go my little Tesehki juniors.” Our friend Tory said as he waited by our lockers since they were side by side.

Him and our other friends were standing around waiting for us.

“Y’all beat them hoes up.” Samaria said proudly. “How many days y’all get?”

“Five.” I replied.

“And they switching our classes around so me and her won’t have the same ones anymore.” Chyna told them before putting in her locker combination.

“They can’t do that lame ass shit. We got classes with y’all too.” Malachi turned up his face as he took an AirPod out of his ear.

“That’s what I said. But it’s already set in stone once we get back from suspension.”

“Why they switching y’all?” Layla asked while smacking on her gum.

“Harris said it’s trouble when we together. Sumn bout us not having a mind of our own and always thinking as one.” I opened my locker and grabbed my tote bag along with my hoodie.

“I mean he not wrong.” Layla said and both me and Chyna turned to her and mugged her.

“See, y’all too in sync.” She defended.

“Whatever ion care. I’m just ready to enjoy my five days at home.” Chyna sighed and looked at me. “You ready?”

“Mhm.” I closed my locker back. “We’ll text the group chat later.”

We said goodbye to our friends and made our way to the main office. Once we got there we saw our parents conversing with each other.

My mama saw me and shook her head in disapproval.

They didn’t even speak to us. They just walked out of the building and we knew that meant to follow them.

“How could y’all agree to that?!” I semi-yelled at my parents while we made our way to the parking lot.

“No seriously, that’s so weird!” Chyna took my side while talking to her mom.

“Look, you think we want to separate you? We don’t. But this shit is getting out of control.” My mama turned around, finally speaking.

“Why the fuck are y’all always in something?” Chyna’s mom Annette chimed in.

“Because I wasn’t finna let some girl disrespect me. You know I don’t take disrespect lightly, you taught me that.” Chyna said to her.

“And I wasn’t finna let her get jumped. If y’all mad at that then I don’t know what to tell you honestly.” I crossed my arms.

“That’s enough. The both of y’all getting separated and that’s final. Maybe some time apart will do y’all some fucking good.” My mom said before she started walking again.

“What you mean time apart? He already switching our classes! You agreed to it.” I reminded her.

“That’s not what I’m talking about. Y’all both are on punishment, I don’t know for how long cause we haven’t gotten that far.”

“What?!” Me and Chyna said in unison.

“I hope you had fun today. Cause the only way y’all will be speaking from now on is through text and FaceTime. Be lucky we can’t take your phone because you both pay your own bill.”

They can’t be deadass.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“Why you get suspended?” My big sister Tajae asked me as I sat on the couch in our spacious living room.

“I got into a fight.” I told her while I used the remote to find a movie to watch on the seventy inch flat screen tv that was in front of me.

“With who and for what?” She questioned and I let out a sigh.

“Some girl was tryna jump in Chyna’s fight with her friend. You know I wasn’t going for that.” I said before clicking on To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix.

This was such a good movie.

“Why are you always in something because of Chyna? See this why I don’t like you hanging around her.” Tajae said truthfully.

“Good thing you ain’t my mama then.” I looked at her.

“Girl mama don’t even like it. That’s why you on punishment and can’t go nowhere with her now. Smart mouthed ass.” She rolled her eyes.

“I think I’ll live.” I straight faced her. “Do you need something? Like why is you in my face antagonizing me?” I asked her.

“I need to use your laptop. What’s your password?”

“missyari122”

“Thanks!” She said happily. “And stop looking so miserable, you’ll get wrinkles.” She said before walking away.

Tajae pisses me off.

My phone dinged as it sat on my lap and I looked at the notification seeing it was my group chat so I clicked on it and unlocked my phone.

chy
because why would i let you kill my nigga? you can do whatever to him now we done

malachi
Ain’t said nun but a word 😂
Only was sparing him cause of you

I turned my phone off and turned my attention back to the tv.

Honestly, Malachi and Khalil really did get down like that and their history with Von wasn’t pretty. Chyna actually did know the beef they had with him she just didn’t care because she had taken a strong liking to him.

Hence why Khalil just said she lying.

I know that she knew because I’m the one who told her. She didn’t know at first and I only knew about it because Khalil told me personally.

It wasn’t like she was being grimey, the heart want what it want.

But when Malachi and Khalil found out it took a hard turn on our group. They was calling Chyna all typa shit. Khalil wasn’t slow so he knew she knew because if I know something it’s a good chance Chyna knows too because we just that close and tell each other everything.

So once Chyna kept pretending she didn’t know it made Khalil and Malachi see her as being even more weird.

Khalil and Malachi cut Chyna off and when I was trying to mediate the situation they said I was choosing sides and cut me off too. It was a whole lot of bullshit honestly and our falling out lasted for a while.

Eventually they got over it and we all got back cool but they would still say slick stuff about Von sometimes which irritated Chyna but she suck it up given the circumstances.

As soon as I really started paying attention to my movie my phone started ringing.

khalil
would like to FaceTime…

I answered the call and Khalil’s face popped up on my screen with a mean ass mug.

“Get yo best friend Kiyari before I do sumn to her ass.” He told me.

“I literally just clicked off the message thread.” I told him.

“That yuck mouth ass bitch talking out her damn neck. Get her before I do.” Khalil said and I shook my head.

Every time somebody in the group had an issue with someone else in it I was the first one they would call. I’m a good mediator.

“What happened?” I questioned.

“Go read it.” He said before hitting his breeze.

Listening to him, I went on iMessage and clicked on our group chat. I didn’t read it all but I skimmed through it and saw Khalil and Chyna exchanging cuss words.

“Y’all both aggy.” I admitted.

“Bitch shut up.” He said. “Always taking up for her.”

“I just said y’all BOTH. So how am I taking up for someone?” I looked at him through the camera and he stuck up his middle finger.

“Nigga anyways, you coming out to that party in honor of Dee?” He asked me.

Dee was a known boy in our neighborhood, he got shot last night so people were throwing a party in honor of him. He was cool people though, praying for his family.

“No. I just said I’m grounded.”

“So? You grown as hell talking bout some grounded.” He jerked his head back.

“I’m not grown until I’m not living under my parents roof anymore. Plus I don’t got time to hear their mouth even more.” I said truthfully.

“You was grown when you was getting in trouble at school.” He pointed out. “Fighting sounds grown to me.”

“Bye Khalil.” I said, about to hang up and he smacked his lips.

“For real doe, come. Chyna supposed to come.”

“What her coming gotta do with me? And weren’t y’all just beefing?” I chuckled.

“Cause y’all do everything else together, shit. And what that mean? When I see that bitch ima drop kick her that’s the only reason I’m glad she coming. She better fight back too just like she was fighting that keyboard to type and talk shit.”

I let out a laugh because he was dead serious. His face was so serious looking. He standing on big business.

“I’ll see.” I sighed. “But I’m finna take a nap tho, so talk to you later. Hugs and kisses.” I blew a kiss at him and he mugged me.

“Bye.” He said dryly before hanging up.

Dumb mean bitch.

I laid down on the couch and pulled the blanket over me. I had a long day so this nap was needed.

I thought about going to that party. I was debating.

Should I go?
