Cielos POV.

I woke up to Nik gently shaking me.

"C wake up we're gonna be late"

I rubbed my eyes and sat up slowly.

I got up and walked over to the bathroom to take a shower and Nik followed.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I turned on the faucet.

"You can't get your wound wet for 2 weeks remember so ima help you" she said smirking.

"I do not need help" I looked at her dead serious cause we ain't even get to finish our talk yesterday.

"Mm alright be like that ima be in the room if you need anything tho" she set my crutches to the side and walked out the bathroom.

I hate showering with one leg shit is a struggle.

Once I was done I felt light headed as hell from the hot water so I stepped out trying to catch my balance.

I reached for my towel and fell on my ass. 😐

Nik walked in almost instantly with a worried expression.

"Don't say nothing" I said already irritated by the embarrassment.

Her concern turned into an amused smile.

I had the towel wrapped around my body so I wasn't exposed as she helped me up. I limped to my crutches and walked out of the bathroom.

I went to my backpack of clothes and picked out some all black polo joggers with my black uggs and I let my locs hang.

Once I was ready we walked down the stairs and out to her car. I missed her aunt, she always made breakfast every morning and I loved it. My mom always too tired to cook so I had to learn at a young age.

While driving my stomach was growling like crazy but I ignored it cause I don't even have an appetite right now.

We pulled up to the school and I got out quickly not wanting her to feel the need to help me out. She locked the doors and walked into the school.

"If you need anything hit me Ight" she said and I nodded instead of replying.

I couldn't help the feeling that she was embarrassed of me so I wasn't gon stress her.

The bell ring as I was walking in the school. People were staring at me but I just ignored it.

"Aww you okay papi?" Some fem asked me.

"All g nun major" I replied and continued walking to my first period.

I walked into class and locked eyes with Nik but she averted her gaze back to the teacher. I really hate Chem with a passion.

I had my AirPods in for most of the class and the teacher kept telling me to sit up cause I was resting my head on the table. I was just tired from not getting enough sleep these past nights.

I looked at Nik and she was chopping it up with some fem in our class so I just scrolled through my phone until the bell rung.

"Alright students don't forget next class I will be assigning a project for you, you will be assigned partners and there are no opportunities to switch. I want you all to work together and bring good outcomes with the project." The bell had finally rung and I was ready to dip.

"Mrs Lentero can I speak with you please" Mr. Garcia asked.

I nodded and walked over to him.

"I see you are injured is everything okay?" He asked me.

"Yes I'm fine it was just a minor incident" I said lying through my teeth.

"May I ask what happened?" He pried.

"I rather not talk about it if that's okay" I said and he nodded.

"Feel free to talk to me at any moments notice, I am here for all my students and if there is something affecting you please let me know so that I can be in an understanding place when you are distracted in my class" he said.

"Yes I'm sorry about that I've been having a hard time concentrating since my incident so I guess I just have some adjusting to do" I said.

"I understand, communication is key in this class thank you for being open about this, I'll see you next class" he said. I nodded, faking a smile as I walked out.

Out of no where I was knocked over and felt my leg throb. I looked up to see a tall ass "super stud" looking down at me.

I got up slowly.

"Watch where you going man" I said limping to grab my crutches.

"Watch yo mouth n*gga" she said with a mean mugged.

I scoffed and walked away. When I felt a push.

"Bro what the hell wrong whichu, you see me right so why you bugging" I pointed at my fucked up leg and turned around snapping cause who tf shawty think she is over here pushing the injured. I would whoop baby ass if I wasn't in this position right na.

"Man whatever" she rolled her eyes and walked in the other direction.

I went to the bathroom to recollect myself cause I really ain't tryna be in a bad mood today it's my first day back.

I looked in the mirror, splashing water on my face when I seen the same fem from class earlier walk out the stall, moments later Nik walked out the same stall.

She looked at me and her eyes got wide.

I didn't say anything and just walked out the bathroom completely ignoring what just happened even though my heart felt like sinking down to the middle of the earth. I was right..

I continued to my next class and listened to music the entire period. I was just excited for lunch to see Nya and Shawn. I ain't talked to they assess in a minute. I been spending most my time with Nik or alone. I got sad again thinking about her but I should've known better.

After continuing through my periods I was finally at lunch and went to find my homies at our regular spot.

I didn't see them yet so I assumed they were still walking, I sat at our table and pulled out my phone.

Nik 💙

Me: Im taking the bus don't wait up

I sent the text and looked up to see this gremlin ass stud from earlier.

"Someone not in a good mood today" she said.

I didn't say anything cause there was rlly nothing to say.

Hopefully Nya will come soon so she can tell this gremlin to leave.

I sat there uncomfortably for another min cause this stud was just staring at me.

"Who even are you" I asked confused.

"Somebody you should be worried about"

"Jordan get up out my seat" Nya said.

Finally.

"Mann whatever" she got up and walked away.

"Yo who is that" I asked.

"Some blood from 60th" Nya replied. "Why" she asked.

"Cause she been bugging me since this morning and I think she just threatened me" I said looking at her walk away.

"Well don't take her threats lightly rel, she one of shantis rivals, the gangs been beefin for years" she said.

Well das great. Another person I needa watch out for. I ain't say nothing just shook my head.

"Where shawn at" I asked changing the subject.

"Bathroom with some jawn I think" she took a bite of her apple.

I chuckled, of course.

After lunch me and Ny went our seperate ways and I continued on with this irritating ass day.

Once school was out I walked to the bus stop when I peeped Niks car was still in the parking lot. I hope she don't make another scene. Ion think she will though she prolly don't wanna talk to me as much as ion wanna talk to her.

I sat at the usual spot and chopped it up with Shawn for a min. He was talking about the jawn he was with today and how he think she the one yatta yatta. For a hoe he got a big lover boy mindset he be having me deaddd.

Once the bus arrived to our stop, all of us got off.

"Yo Nya tell shanti I need to re up asap" I told her, I was almost out of heem and on a day like this that ain't good AT ALL.

"Tell her yo self she gon be by here ina hour o sum" she replied.

"Ight just tapn or swoop by my crib wit her my momma working late tonight" I said. She nodded and we went our separate ways.

I finally got home, locking the door behind me. I limped up the stairs and walked into my room. I basically collapsed on my bed and stayed there for a min. I decided to take a lil nap befo shanti get here so I turned my ringer on incase she calls.

I checked my messages and seen Nik head ass left me on seen. She acting weird now and ion like it.

I stopped thinking about it and played some music until I drifted off.
