I put the links to characters on my profile. Riley, Huey, and Caesar are drawings from DeviantArt while Soleil is portrayed by Beyonce in her younger days and Jazmine is portrayed by Tinashe Kachingwe.
As the day went on, I familiarized myself with the campus and made very little effort to socialize. Of course because of this, I got some hard stares, but I ignored them. Anyone that did try to come up and talk to me, I blew them off and they'd get upset and leave.
The bell for lunch rang and I thought I would kill myself before it did. I didn't eat breakfast because I had to rush to get here straight from the airport. My parents were a real pair of douchebags. They knew that today was my first day and they still scheduled my flight to come in this morning 30 minutes before school started. Sighing, I gathered all my things in my bag and made my way to the cafeteria. They loud sounds of ghetto ass kids and wanna be's filled my ears and I rolled my eyes.
"Red! Aye, Red, over here!" I ignored whoever was calling me and made my way to one of the lunch lines. Then, I felt someone's hand grip my wrist rather tightly and my eyes twitched. "Hey, didn't you-" Before they could finish their sentence, I flipped them over my shoulder and they landed on the floor with a hard 'thud'. NOBODY touched me without permission, and hopefully that got the point across. The entire cafeteria was silent as everyone stared at me.
"DAMN, YOU JUST GOT YO ASS HANDED TO YOU!" A loud voice suddenly broke the silence. The cafeteria was then filled with whispers and I looked down at the boy I flipped. It was a dark skinned boy with dreads and he was kinda cute. "Caesar!" I looked up at the familiar voice and came face to face to my younger cousin Jazmine and Huey.
She had on a tight and revealing long sleeved green shirt, which helped bring out her eyes, dark blue skin tight jeans and green Nike dunks. Her hair was pulled back into a high bun, she had her nose pierced and she had on light make up and jewelery.
"Soleil? What the hell are you doing here?"
"If you must know, I was sent here to stay with you and your parents. My parents wanted to get rid of me."
"Well, we don't want you here either, so go find a friend to stay with back in California. Oops, that's right, you don't have any," she said, mocking me.
I almost forgot that she was such a little bitch. Huey was looking back and forth between me and 'Caesar'. "What happened here?"
"I was minding my business and your friend here was calling me ignorantly, so I kept walking. Then, when I got in the line, he grabbed me and I flipped him obviously. I don't like being touched without permission, Huey."
"How do you know Huey?"
"It's school, am I not allowed to introduce myself to someone, Princess Jazmine?" I replied, sarcastically.
She rolled her eyes and turned to walk away. "So, I take it you two don't get along?"
"We used to get along really well and everyone thought we were sisters when I came to visit, but then I wasn't able to visit as often as I used to and we lost touch. Over time, she got mean and when we did get to see each other, she'd act like a bitch, as you just saw. I honestly don't know what happened, but it doesn't bother me one bit if she doesn't like me anymore." By this time, Caesar had picked himself up off the ground and was staring at me in awe. "You've got some muscle on you, girl!" "No, you're just not heavy. Before we continue this conversation, you need to know rule #1: never touch me without permission." He simply nodded and continued to stare at me. "I'm sorry about what happened and my name's Soleil."
"Michael Caesar, at your service, cutie. You know Huey?"
"We're partners in Literature and apparantly he lives across the street from me." "Oh, so I'll be seeing you more often then," he said with a smile. I rolled my eyes and went to get my lunch. When I walked out, Huey and Caesar were still standing there talking. I raised an eyebrow at them and cleared my throat, and they turned to look at me.
"Why are you guys still standing here?" "We wanted you to come and sit with us."
"I think I'll pass." I brushed past them and went to find an abandoned table. "Oh come one, Soileil. You look like you could use some friends," Caesar said.
"Well, I don't, so leave me alone." "You heard her Caesar, leave her alone. The others are waiting for us so let's just go." They left and I began to eat my food, but my mind kept wandering back to Huey. I was glad he got Caesar off of my back, but part of me wanted to follow them back to their table because of him. I don't know what it was, but it was just something about him that put me at ease.
I was halfway through my lunch when the bell rang and I growled. At this rate, I'll start looking malnourished thanks to the lack of food. I grabbed my bag and went to go dump my plate in the trash. "Aye, ain't you the girl that flipped that bitch nigga, Caesar?" My eyes narrowed at the boy in front of me. He had cornrows and dressed in baggy clothes, but what caught my attention was the color of his eyes. They were the same color as Huey's and they sort of drew me in. Maybe they were brothers. "What's your name, kid?" "Riley, but you can call me Young Reezy." "I think i'll stick with Riley. The name's Soleil Dubois, and yes I'm the one that flipped Caesar. I take it you're somehow related to Huey Freeman?"
"How did you know that? That gay ass nigga is my brother." I knew it!
"You have the same eyes. This was nice and all, but I need to get to class and so do you, squirt." "Aye, don't go around calling me no damn squirt! Do I look ten to you?"
"No, more like 11." With that, I walked away, leaving Riley glaring at me from behind. I chuckled at that and made my way to my 5th period class.
Just a short update, sorry it took so long. Review!
