Chapter 9
Detention
After school, I got a text from Dre saying, “The other girls are just jealous cause you are my wifey. You must be an angel because I have really fallen for you and would like to be in a serious relationship with you. We have a really good vibe and it hurt to hear you question it. Cause you're the only girl for me.”
I shook my head and started to look for Dre but bumped into my sisters instead.
“Sasha why were you in a fight today…” Selena asked.
I didn't want to tell my sisters what happened. I was afraid that my sisters would laugh at me and call me a yam head, so in my mind, I started to build up my courage I counted down 3…2…1… then out of nowhere the sprinklers went off. Which made us jump at the same time I saw Victoria walking past with a smile on her face.
Just then the Dean called me and told me to come to detention. I told them that I will see them at home and head to the office.
When I reached I saw that everyone was already there.
Mr. Willson the dean said to us that he had some papers to photocopy and told us to be quiet and write 100 lines in our book saying “I should not fight at school.”
They all open their books and pretend to write and as soon as he walked out they close their books except Trina.
“Girl, are you an idiot why are you writting for?” Domonique asked Trina.
Trina threw down her pen and closed her book kind of awkwardly "But anyway I talked to Dre and he said you guys just jealous and we shared something special and we have-” said Trina but ….
“A real good vibe and it hurt to hear you question it….” Dominique continued.
Now all three of us said together “ …. cause you're the only girl for me?” In sync like a choir except for Violet.
“Damn he saying the same things to all of us.” Dominiquie said.
“Watch yah, he fool around us and then sleep with us-” I said.
Trina in shock lean over, “You both slept together?!”
“Girl, Dre and I have something special.” I said and flicked my hair.
Trina shook her head, “Yeah sure you two share the same pum pum. And you sprain my wrist.”
Dominique, said under her breath, “Well you not only back flip but lay down too.”
“Oh plz Dominique, like everybody don't know that you're mouth and front very active.” I attacked.
“Girl, Dre and me belong together you hear.” Dominique snaps back.
I laughed, “Girl he is my man you hear, he brought me out last night. Plus he said I am his wifey, me and him are head captain too anyway.”
“Like he takes either of you two seriously.” Trina out brust.
We continue to argue amongst ourselves, Violet who was sitting in the back of the class started to get very annoyed by us, “Shut up.”
We all turn to look at her, “Who are you a talking to?” Domonqiue asked,
“All of you guys I am talking to. Look, he always call you babes don't?” We all looked at each other then back at Violet.
“He do that so that he don't mix up the names and he always talking about you have a vibe but never say you are in a relationship.”
“Gyal you with Dre too?” I said, “No girl, but we used to anyway, like which girl Dre haven't. But that is how every boy behave girl.” Violet answered.
Trina, “You know you're right and him always made me felt guilty.”
“You know if a boy treated me like that I woulda-...” Violet is cut off.
“You woulda just broke up with him yeah yeah. And him would have just get a next girl by the next morning.” I said and the girls started to turn around.
“No…I woulda do him back the same thing.” Violet said and started to chew her chewing gum.
Just then the dean walked in and told us to be quiet and finish writing our lines.
When I reached my community I stopped at my friend's Diamond family cafe shop to get some credit to put on my phone and ice cream.
When she came to open her bedroom door her little black cat walked out behind her. I called to her cat while greeting Diamond, “What's up girl, what happened to you today?”
“Girl I amma tell you, drama happened.” I had already bought my ice cream so I sat and I explained in detail what I have been up to while I ate.
Derek at the time was still patrolling our community. I wouldn't have possibly known about this yet but long after I found out that Derek's best friend was dead, when he was told by one of the guys that work for him, it was said he yelled out in anger and he pop the trunk and took out his babies, his smith, and west, and loaded them with his silver bullets and went on to kill one of the girls who was turned into a vampire that was hiding in an abandoned house.
After that we called Makenza out of her hole- I mean house and went to go on the swing.
I puffed my spliff and Diamond pushed me on the swing and my head fell backward to look at Makenza swinging alongside me. Only the sound of the swing and her popping her gum echoed throughout.
It's like I started going on this euphoric trip. Maybe it's because this time I put some strong grabba in my weed, but either way, it felt great.
I stumbled my way to the jungle gym and climbed on top like a drunk person. With my wobbly balance, I looked down at Makenza and asked her to sprinkle pixie dust on us and we started flying around the little playground laughing and fooling around.
When I went home I saw my sisters taking off their outfits and sweats.
They had their octopus tentacles helping them with Sabrina. She was eating a chip so one tentacle held a bag of chips while the other was wrapping her hair and another held a cup.
Selena also had one tentacle holding her clothes and another one her new phone and another her tablet.
They asked how my night was with Dre being all excited to hear every detail. Usually, when I heard Dre's name I would be smiling or blushing but now I don't even want to hear his name, “Can't talk about it yet. What mommy said?” I asked while walking towards the fridge and stripping off my shoes.
“We told her that you gone over to Diamond's house and we even made Diamond talk to her on the phone.” I almost took a sigh of relief.
“But girl she mad, cause she said she never gave you permission to stay out over Diamond house. So it probably never work.” Selena says while wrapping herself in her towel.
I got a message from Dre asking why I haven't been texting him all day. I ignored him and started texting another guy that I know likes me. I then called him and asked if he wanted to go out the next day, which he agreed to.
I went to the couch when Dre texted me asking why I was asking out his friends, he called me and I answered him by accident, that's the lie I wanted to tell myself. He started shouting at me asking me why I ignored him and if I knew that he was worried about me.
We argued over the phone for a bit. I ended it saying, “Don't baby me, like seriously can't believe I laid down wid yuh.” I said and hung up the phone throwing it down in the cough.
I buried my hands in my lap and arms and cried then said "This day can't get any worse.” I probably shouldn't have said that.
Just then the door opens and mom walks in. I lifted my head up and both our eyes met. Mommy didn't hesitate to grab me and started to hit me on my arm.
“Sasha go for my belt out of the freezer.” My mother demanded.
“Mommy just please…” She lifted her hand again and I jumped over the couch without turning around.
I took the belt out of the freezer, then my sisters walked out, “Mommy we a beg for her.” Selena said, then Sherise's eyes glared at her with fire.
“You don't bother talk you hear, cause all of you in trouble for telling me a lie. You think I was born yesterday I went over Diamond parents and they said Sasha was never even over there.” She then turn to me, “So tell me Sasha where were you?” With tears running down my cheeks already I was scrambling another lie, “Honestly mommy I slept over my other friend-... to help wih homework.” My mother gave me a death stare.
“That;s a next lie,come here.” Sherise sayid. As she stood there, looking at me, menacingly
Get it ..like that SpongeBob episode with…never mind ..back to my ass whopping.
The breeze from the windows and curtain started to blow really hard and the night got chilly. She put down her handbag and cracked her knuckles and shoulders.
Then took her stance as if she was an anime shinobi, all of us three girls' eyes darted to the front door, our only escape since we lived in a 5 story apartment and we were on the 3rd floor.
Then quickly she ran at us and started to beat all three of us relentlessly, we were begging for mercy, “Mommy stop and take it easy!” Selena calls out.
She paused for a moment and looked at us in amusement.
“Stop, you really want me to stop, you guys think you're an adult now that your 17. You smelling yourself now.” She said.
“Look at least don't beat them it's my fault anyway, we soonwill be 18 when we turn 20 are you still gonna beat us?” I said.
“Ofcourse, as long as you live under my roof then why the hell not!” Our mother exclaims.
“Oh please we have our own money now we don't need to live with you, we need our own space anyway and we making more money than you now. You ever once ask us where we get some of the things we have or where we get money to go school. Or you just don't care and just putting on a show, what if I told you that I am having sex from I am 15.” At that Sherise slapped me in my face.
Selena the eldest of us came in between us and held me, “Mommy just give her some time it seems like she a go through something. Let us talk to her. But mommy I do agree that you can't beat us for ever Sabrina and I will be 20 soon.”
“Oh, so you the smartest out a three Musketeers eh?”
“The one who repeat 4th form cause him fail him subjects. Yes, talk to him, like you never lied to me too. You know how much I go through cause I went and lay down with a man. If I never had you kids I would have been better off in life but no. I should have put you all in a basket and swung you guys over my head and threw you away!” Our mom shouted.
Sabrina got up, “You over doing it now mommy don't blame us for you're lack of capability, We tired of you saying things like that, you saying that you shouldn't have had us, if you didn't want us somebody must would have want us.”
“Like who?” mom start to laugh, “You don't see you're worthless father don't even did want you guys, so a who would want you. Eh, is either my way or the high way which one…cause you guys not going to tell me how to raise you and you not even know how to raise you're self.”
“You know what lets leave you're place, cause I wanr to know who cook the food in here, its usand we clean where do you thnk we get the money from to buy food and the new laptop for school. If we ask you for something you always say you don't have the money. So we don't bother ask you but you always have money to get new outfits and naild done to go out.” Sabrina said and walked with me while we went to the room.
“Then where you get the money from to buy the laptop, you told me that it was you're cousin leant you, the three of you are liars eh.” Sherise yelled at us,
“We are pole dancers that's what we do get money, we able to get the things we want. We shake our ass and get cash.” Selena blurt out. Then mom slap[ed her also across her face hard enough that she fell to the ground.
"Get it, get out my place. Get outta my house you damn ungrateful!” She shouted at the top of her lungs.
Then runs into the room and takes up the clothes and started throwing everything outside in her frantic and fast movement she took up one of our suitcases and it became unlocked and stacks of money fell out of it, we hurry to grab the money and the rest of our things and suitcase and uniforms and went out the house and hurried out the apartment.
We then went on our phones and went to a hotel for the night.
