Chapter 66: Working out!

Working out!

  "Yeah that's right yo! We sent you so many texts and gave you several missed calls..." Lamar added angrily. My face fell to the ground the up to look at their angered faces again

  "Guys, what the hell? Its going to sound crazy but I wasn't home last night. I was at my dad's old coupe...I wronged him so he left me there to myself, no phones." I tried to explain heartily but they countered flaring up.

  "Just shut up, Drill! It doesn't make sense." Jeff said

  "You think we're going to believe that, J? What's getting you distant? Or are you also counting us as lame? Cashless?" Lamar said

  "Of course we know that you got the most money, we ain't good enough to be your friends I guess." Jeff supported Lamar. My mouth was widely open lost for words 

  "Bunny? Hoodie? This is not you, yeah?  Telling y'all the truth and why would I not want to keep y'all as friends? Who's Talking about some shit money that ain't ours yet?" First time in my life I admitted to not own my fathers' money even if I knew soon enough it will be.

  "Are you jealous or what? I'm pretty sure you saw our Instagram pages...yeah, that's what's up!' Jeff added turning to leave

  "Seriously Kareem, its not funny. We're off for tutorials." Lamar said as i watched them walk out of the class. Some students stood staring and chattering then I yelled unconsciously

  "You got a problem?" They turned away to face their businesses. I took my bag walking out angrily to the extent that I threw my new headphone to the ground walking out, I guess someone might have taken it or whatever. I headed straight to the class Pixie and I used for tutorials. I didn't know she was sitting in the class prepared. 

  "Hi!" She said almost whispering

I ignored her, I threw my bag on the chair

  "Anything for today?" I asked angrily still trying to suppress my anger and I tried to take my gaze off hers, I made sure I did not look at her in the eye. She flipped the pages on the textbook looking at me

  "Could you concentrate and let's get this over with!" I cautioned angrily, my friends had a very big influence on me. We've been friends right from kindergarten down to the final year in high school.

  "Look Jordan! Its ok if you don't want to go through this today, we can reschedule right?" She asked calmly in concern

  "No! We're not! We're doing this here and now." I countered Instead with Instructions

  "Ok fine! Your choice!" She accepted

I took the textbook as I began teaching her, trying as much as possible not to yell at her

  "Could you explain again, please?" She inquired politely

  "You're too dumb, very unintelligent Pixie!" I blurted then i explained Skipping some lines, she got confused I could see it in her eyes but she was very careful to not say something. I ended the lecture, I rubbed my hair placing my elbows on the table looking downwards then blurted out

  "I just hate the fact that we have to collide every single day, why are so annoying? I just wish we didn't have to be us right now. We don't work, can't you see?" I asked almost calmly. 

  "I don't understand you, Jordan. It's not my fault that I'm not good at math like you are.

It's not my fault that I'm not wealthy like you are or got expensive taste like you do. Nothing has ever been my fault Jordan, you have the faults, all the problems Jordan and don't try to put the blames on me again." She blurted  with a breaking voice

  "Well that's not my problem! How about you ask your boyfriend to tell you what the problem is. Everytime I see you, you just disgust me and irritate me. I hate everything about you Pixie, you don't deserve me or my help..." I said again proudly 

  "I'm sorry if I ever made you feel inferior or maybe insecure about everything. I'm so sorry for being ugly and actually not your type, someone out there appreciates me the way I am!" She said almost yelling and then tears ran down her cheek immediately i felt guilty, my father would never want this; making a woman cry. I didn't feel comfortable about it as well, I was really hit by karma, I was guilty. She tucked her books into her bag she stood up to leave then I held her arm

  "Pi...Pixie! Pixie!" I called trying to apologize, this time I meant it.

  "Let me go! I'll be here tomorrow waiting for you again." She refrained walking to the door then I stood in front of the door instead with a smirk, I knew she couldn't escape my grip. She looked angry and beautiful still wiping off her tears the she opened her bag taking out something. It was my lost headphone from the first day of resumption. I was elated, my face brightened immediately, I forgot that I hated her

  "I'm sorry i couldn't get this back to you soon enough!" She said in a very low tone, I didn't wait for anymore words from her then I hugged her tightly. I refrained yet I felt very heavy to say thank you. I moved away slowly from the door then someone opened the door like we were followed. It was Lamar. As soon as he entered he hugged Pixie that was when she wrapped her arms around him and kissed her, i felt really furious and jealous i think. I took my bag and the headphone walked up to them, I paused staring at them i didn't know when I blurted

  "Really?" 

  "Yes really!" Lamar answered back while Pixie looked remorseful about something. I walked out angrily, it felt like I was betrayed but to be frank, no one betrayed another; it felt as simply a misunderstanding.

I walked out of the classes area heading to the parking lot, my ride was waiting for me.

Then I saw Lamar and Pixie walk to his ride as well, he opened the door for her to enter the I turned away. I opened the door then I entered yanking the door.

  "Good day Ka..." Larry began then I cut in

  "...Just drive!" I ordered like the boss and rudely then he turned away slowly kicking the engine as we drove out as the tyre screeched causing their attention turned towards me, it felt we had all planned but no then Lamar's car kicked off too.

Along the way, I realized my rudeness towards Larry then I called even apologizing was extremely hard for me people I considered were considered paramount to me.

  "La....Larry uhm...." I stuttered

  "It's ok, boy! I understand. Still having a bad day, seems like resumption never got better!" He said correctly

  "That's the truth....I just feel overly terrible and engulfed at the same time, it just feels like everything is slowly unfolding. Thanks Man!" I ended. I didn't want to talk for long or discuss further in as much as I want to talk to someone, yet I don't feel its Larry I should talk to just yet not because he's not worth but because at this moment I'd love to be introverted about this.

05:04pm,

Mother and father were out while Yeesha was at her groupies' house, those cuties. I really wanted to talk to my friends about everything and the misunderstanding at least, these guys have been there and they've always stood by me in good and in bad times. I tried to call them up but they ignored or maybe weren't close but I stand on the fact that they ignored intentionally. I sent them a text instead I assumed they'd come through at our favorite hang out spot

I took a jean denim jacket after putting on a white sneakers from Yeezy, wore some sprays then I headed out briskly rushing down the stairs then I met with Bella

  "Belle, could you tell them that I'd be back soon." I informed about to leave

  "Lamar and Jeff, I know." She smiled at me, I couldn't resist her motherly charms, I kissed her on the cheek and ran out instantly. I had my mother's key to the black Range Rover, her paper work were inside it but I still didn't bother if it was my possession or not I drove out speedily.

I waited for them at the first class restaurant we love to eat out hoping they'd arrive soon, luckily, they walked in majestically, they were late with thirty minutes and this is how they walk in, no remorse, I thought inside me. They sat down staring at me without a word.

  "This is messed up! Y'all can't keep looking at me like the devil in here." I started triggering them to respond which they did.

  "And who's the devil?" Jeff replied first

  "Kareem! What's your problem?" Lamar asked, I scoffed with a smirk then leaned backwards

  "My problem? You think I got a problem? Tell me what is then." I said to them

  "Its obvious that you're jealous..." Jeff said

  "Just stop with the jealousy shit, jealous about what? We got everything in common so what am I jealous about though?" I cautioned with seriousness

  "The fact the you like Pixie and wouldn't say it! You pretended about it." Lamar concluded 

  "About what? Bunny, I don't understand you. I don't like Pixie, y'all know that..." I clarified. I wasn't sure about that, it seemed like a getaway excuse

  "You do, Drill!" Jeff responded "You're only mad at the fact that you can't own up to tell her how you feel about her. Now that's lame, dumb and not classy. We own up, we don't lie about ourselves, we tell the goddamn truth, Drill!" Jeff finalized

I remained silent and definitely not confused because I understood what they were talking about. 

  "So if I like her as y'all assume then Is that  also a crime?" I asked them, my brows squeezed

  "Just back off man. I won't let that happen, you hear me? This is not some fling I'm serious about her, I want her and I'm keeping her ok?" Lamar said defensively, possessing her like some clothe

Jeff and I stared at him in surprise, the time we came to agree.

  "You're not falling in love, are you? This is just a game, don't even go there Lamar!" Jeff added

  "Back off? I won't. If I feel like having something off shore or intimate with her then you can't do nothing, Lamar. Its me, Kareem don't forget." I clarified boasting

  "Really? I know you very well. You're that fool that's always ingratiating." Lamar said. I maintained myself instead, the punches intended were subdued by the thought of my family's reputation, I clenched my fist instead, I had an urge to punch his face.

  "Ok! What exactly are y'all mad about I'll apologize." I pointed out because I really didn't understand the cause of this misunderstanding. "About yesterday, I swear it, I wasn't home at all that's why I couldn't pick your calls, I left my phone and laptop at home. You could ask Yeesha, she knows better. About Pixie, I'm not sure myself. I don't even know why I'm mad at her sometimes and sometimes...." I stopped

  "Go on! You can't because you like her, yeah?" Lamar said

  "....I want to be nice to her but I just can't. She's caused me a lot these past few days so I don't know what Lamar is talking about." I said to them particularly Lamar

  "Yet you made her cry? What was that about though?" He turned to Jeff "He molests her." He Said. I couldn't hold it any longer then I warned him

  "Yo! You've got to be careful with how you talk to me ok? I'm not some shit ok? Its funny how y'all are going to let a girl come in between us. Who's Pixie anyway? Jeez, who's she to us, no one. That lowlife and dumb girl got nothing on us, we've existed right before we met her, what's up?" I scored almost yelling at them both. Jeff was quiet, I wasn't mad at him but Lamar was my problem.

  "Whatever Kareem, just don't come close a'ight! We're cool with or without her but she's my girl so you've got to respect that too." Lamar said almost calmly, what I said made sense.

  "Y'all are stupid! I really thought we had us, fighting over a girl is lame and dumb. Pixie is no one. We're getting our lives back on track without her interfering, we are doing our old stuff, Gaming, live shows, parties everything we've ever done, we're stopping all this shit and getting back to normal. Are we good?" Jeff scolded

  "Why not!" Lamar answered first

  "Drill?" Jeff persisted

  "Absolutely!" I said simply then I turned away.

We reconciled like nothing happened before, I would definitely make this girl's life miserable for making my friends and I go through her mess and interference.

 It was past 7pm while I was driving home, my car got stopped by the cops, I had no license, it dawned on me that I was still a juvenile. I tried to convince them that I had no dubious intentions but they insisted we go to the station and besides it was Late, as they described then I could invite my parents. Double trouble. Paper work without License is nonsense?! I thought. We headed to the station while they followed me with the car. My parents agreed to come by within thirty minutes, we waited and i was prepared for just anything but not prison. Why do I keep getting into mess every single day of my life I've different situations to work on. My parents would hate me for this and maybe i wouldn't get to go Los Angeles again. Maybe they'd cancel my appointment or maybe they'd let me slip still grounded. I was hot, sweating profusely then I turned to entrance expecting my parents but there weren't there. I wouldn't stop sighing, trying to keep calm and act calm, my skin developed goosebumps and eyes dimmed, I know that. I asked to cop to call again since they wouldn't let me use my phone  then they agreed to it. One of the cops approached me after his phone with my father I guess, he dragged a chair to sit next to me then he began with a very sarcastic expression on him.

  "You are a juvenile, right?" He asked me then I affirmed with a nod, he continued "Ok! That's right. I called your parents and I couldn't get through to them so I guess you'd be spending the night here. We can't let you drive another mile, our patrol men are out there so kid---make yourself comfortable while I prepare your bars!" The cop stood up quietly with a smirk on his face. I knew my parents had a hand in this because I wasn't expecting to be retired from prison at no cost, no punishment.
