Devon ran toward me with his arms outstretched ready for a hug.
Trinity: OMG Devon! Are you okay?!
Devon: Yeah baby it ain't even hurt.
i knew it hurt because he winced when i hugged him. That didn't stop me from hugging him tighter. I whispered in his ear, "i gave your medicine bottle to Jahmeire, he's gonna bring it to your house tonight."
He pulled away so fast. "why would you do that?! I'm sellin that. he better not fuck with my shit trinity."
The officers caught up to him and pulled him from me and told me to leave. I did as instructed because I could NOT get in any trouble more than I was already in. I got a long drink at the water fountain so I could be nosey.
The officers had him open his locker and they took everything out of it. The police dog sniffed around the pile of his locker contents. The dog found nothing. THANK THE LORD!
"you need to leave this does not concern you" said the officer.
I left this time without hesitation.
It was so sad seeing them have Devon in this situation. I remember he told me he promised his mom that he would never see the inside of a jail. It pains me to think that I was the reason he broke his promise.
I went back to class, not to learn, but that's where I was supposed to be. I couldn't help thinking about him the whole time. Everyone in the class was talking about the fight and some kids were even reenacting it. assholes
I sat in silence, partially because I ain't fuck wit no one in that class.
The teacher finally settles everyone down and she gives a mini-sermon on how to go about handling a problem with another student properly. Everyone gave their two-cents on why the fight started:
"i heard it was about drugs" wrong
"I saw Jordan punch Devon so hard his head spun around" wrong
"I heard it was about a party in harrington" wrong
"I heard it was about Trinity" what
Everyone looked at me. I put my hood up and my hands in my hoodie pocket.
The teacher looked at me and she says, "well was it?"
i shrugged. "idk all i know is that you ain't see me throwing no hands so don't try to say i was involved."
I wasn't answering any questions. that's how you get your words tangled up and shit. i got up and walked out the class.
