Shamika jumped out the back of King's Jeep with Haley.

"You guys always gang up against me" She said.

"That's because you're always wrong" Haley scoffed.

"Kodak is beautiful, y'all are just stush" she said walking away.

"If you say so" Haley yelled after her laughing.

"Your cousin is so annoying" Haley said turning back to look at Lola. "Okay then" she said to herself and turned away when she saw her brother and Lola making out.

"I'll see you later" Lola smiled.

"Wait, one more kiss" he mumbled smiling sexily.

"You said that the last time" Lola giggled.

"I know" he grinned leaning forwards and kissing her soft lips. His tongue slipped into her mouth and danced with hers.

She smiled as she pulled away from the kiss and edged towards the door.

"I'll see you later" she said opening the car door.

"Have a good day" he said as he started the engine again and began driving off.

"You guys are so annoying" Haley complained linking arms up with Lola and walking into school with her.

"Says you" Lola said side eyeing her "you and Luke act like a married couple in school"

"What do you mean?" Haley exclaimed dramatically and pulled away from her friend.

"One minute your fighting, the next minute you're making love with your clothes on" Lola shrugged.

"Stop playing" Haley said hitting Lola's shoulder softly.

"Whatever" Lola laughed.

"Wassup" Michael said wrapping his arms around Haley and Lola and standing between them.

"Lola's complaining about me and Luke" Haley said crossing her arms.

"I ain't gonna lie" Michael started. "Y'all look like you're on your honeymoon every time I look over. Sure it's cut but you rubbing it in people's faces."

"Y'all are so annoying" she said pushing Michael's arm away and speed walking ahead of them.

"I was just be honest" Michael shrugged walking with Lola.

After the school project with the baby they got closer as friends. And they started hanging together in school, even with Jared. But Shamika and him were on and off since he had plenty of hoes around school.

"So what you doing after school?" Michael asked still hanging his arm off her shoulder.

"Nothing, maybe study" Lola shrugged.

"You wanna come to a party tonight?" He asked eagerly.

"It's a Wednesday" Lola said raising her eyebrow.

"My friend had a free house and might as well have a party. You only live once, right?" Michael said shrugging.

"Urgh" Lola shivered. "Don't say that again" she laughed walking up to her locker.

"Say you'll come" Michael pleaded as Lola took out a ring binder and checked herself in the tiny mirror.

"Lola!" Michael slammed her locker door shut.

"Aight, I'll come,chill" Lola said walking with him to class.

At Lunch, Lola sat with Haley and Luke waiting on the others.

"Are you not gonna get anything to eat?" Haley asked munching on her fries.

"Nope, school food isn't that nice" Lola said placing her bag on the floor. "I'll eat at home"

"I've got some nuggets if you want" Luke suggested taking out a McDonald's bag.

"Where'd you get that from?" Lola asked raising her eyebrow in surprise.

"I've got a plug in school who gets them for me from time to time." Luke said pushing the bag towards her.

"Are they still warm?" She asked taking two out the box.

"Yup"

"Those smell good" Jared said snatching the bag and sitting down.

"No one likes you Jared" Haley said, it was true. Luke was still angry with him and Lola didn't like how he was using Shamika who was really gullible. Michael only liked him since they had been homies for time.

"Y'all really act like I care" he said with a mouthful of nuggets. He put the paper bag down and walked away to another table.

"He's so annoying" Haley said shaking her head and chewing angrily.

"You find everyone annoying" Luke said taking the leftover nuggets for himself.

"Did you hear what Michael said about us?" Haley said.

Lola rolled her eyes as her friend started babbling to her boyfriend. She watched the door to see whether Michael was coming or even Shamika.

She then saw a pair of eyes staring at her as he walked past. He had a smooth dark complexion with a very structured jawline that went well with his long face shape. Once he caught her looking, he smiled slightly and turned to face where he was heading. His smile was lingering in her head as Michael sat down.

"Yo" Michael said dapping Luke up and sitting next to Lola.

"So since I ain't dealing and shit-"

"You was dealing?" Haley exclaimed.

"Why you putting my business all out there?" Michael said shushing her with his finger. "Anyways, Imma go back to basketball." He smiled clapping his hands together.

"I told you time ago to come back dude" Luke said shaking his head.

"What? Y'all not excited for me?" He said looking around.

"Sure" Lola said drinking her water. "But I don't even know if you can actually ball" she shrugged.

"I can ball" Michael hyped himself up. "Tell her Luke"

"I mean you wasn't all that"

"This niggas spitting lies" Michael mugged him off. "I was the shit"

"That's why all the girls like him" Haley said. She was still eating her fries.

But it was true, and fairly obvious. Once Lola and Haley started hanging out with them they realised how thirsty some of these girls were. Only just yesterday two girls they had never seen before tried sitting at their table so they could get close to Michael.

"The attention I got kinda decreased when I stopped though" he mumbled.

"You're tryna get more gyal?!" Lola laughed.

"I like the attention" he shrugged crossing his arms over his chest and relaxing into the seat.

"So are you guys going to the party tonight?" Lola asked.

"Yup" Luke answered straight away.

"I can't, my dad wouldn't allow it" Haley said looking up at Luke.

"Seriously, you could just sneak out" Luke suggested moving a stray hair behind her ear.

"I'm really not like that" Haley said.

"I could pick you up" Michael said. "And I'll drop you off too, whenever you want"

"I got it Junior, my moms lending me her car" Luke said.

"You'll bring me back when I say then?" Haley asked.

***

Lola was getting changed in her bedroom. Shamika has moved into her own room a while ago. It was a good thing because Lola now had her private space again. But it also meant she had no idea what Shamika was up to sometimes.

Lola put on a little make up and wore a t-shirt dress with a tiny belt around her waist and some sandals. She heard a knock at the door and ran down the stairs with her phone in her hand.

"Dad, I'm going out with a friend" she yelled as she unlocked the door.

"I don't recall you ever asking" Lucas, her father, said. He held a paper towel in his hands and looked down at her with his eyebrow raised. His face was basically saying 'you ain't going nowhere'.

"I texted you about it" Lola groaned as Michael stepped into their home.

"Hey Michael" Lucas smiled shaking his hand. They had become friendly after the project Lola and Junior shared. And in his eyes, Michael was a superhero when he stepped in for Lola at Pop's Milkshakes. "How's your mother?"

"She's good" Michael nodded.

"Can I go dad, please?" Lola pleaded with her hands.

LOLA'S POV

"Bring her back at a decent time" my dad called as we got into Michael's car.

We drove for a couple of minutes until we were further down town and approaching a house surrounded by parked cars.

Inside the house, the music was pumping through my blood. It was so loud and deafening, and it was crowded despite it being a school night.

I held Michael's hand and followed him through the crowd. I felt several eyes on us as we pushed our way into the kitchen. It was clear that they all knew Michael, and so were probably wondering who I was.

"Yo Junior" A tall built light skinned guy yelled near by a counter. There was a nasty stench of alcohol in the air.

"Wassup" Michael hollered walking over to him. I followed him since I had no idea who these people were

"Who's lil mama over here?"  he said licking his pink lips. I noticed the gold in his teeth and smiled politely.

"This my friend Lola" Michael introduced me.

"My name's Cameron" he said sticking his hand out.

"Stop playing" Michael laughed slapping his hand away. "His name is Terrence"

He shrugged and laughed along with Michael.

"Nice to meet you Terrence" I said awkwardly.

"You want anything to drink?" he asked over the music.

"Sure"  I said, I was really hoping he didn't give me alcohol, but I didn't wanna seem boujee and tell him anything. After a few seconds he emerged from the crowd with a can of coco cola.

"Thank you" I said opening the can up.

"No problem" he said before leaving me with Michael.

"So, where's Luke and Haley?" I asked.

"I dunno" Michael shrugged sipping from a red cup. "Lets dance" he suggested.

He took my hand and pulled me into the living room where people were dancing and grinding on each other.

"Im not dancing" I said pulling my hand out of his.

'You know I respect you Lola, you ain't gotta do alla that" he said his lip twitched upwards making me laugh.

"Aight"

I took his hand and we found ourselves a space to dance, and it was good since the songs weren't whining songs. Some Migos songs started playing and me and Michael started rapping along to the song and dancing. It got really heated since we were trying to get all the words, and it was obvious I was the bigger Migos fan.

Then, 'Muder she Wrote' started playing and I started whining my hips to the tune.

"I thought Lola was a good girl" he said into my ear as I danced.

"You don't know what I do in front of my mirror" I said smugly. He chuckled.

He started moving his hips in the opposite direction to mine so that it looked like we were salsa dancing.

NO ONE'S POV

They started dancing closer together so that Michaels crotch was closer to Lola's stomach and they were basically grinding on each other Lola laughed as the song ended, she was genuinely having fun with him. Soon, red nose started playing and Lola stood their awkwardly.

"we can sit down if you want" Michael yelled into her ear over the loud music.

Before she could reply, a light skinned girl with long weave slid in-between the two and started whining on Michael.

"Jay" Michael yelled over the music.

"Come on Junior" she said taking his hands and putting it on her waist. She bent over and started twerking on him.

"Have fun" Lola saluted and walked over to the couch to sit down. She noticed Haley and Luke dancing in the middle.

Although they were surrounded, they seemed to be in their own little world, where nothing bad could happen.

Lola then started thinking about King, until she was interrupted.

She felt the weight of another human sit next to her.

"Wassup shawty?" a brown skinned nigga asked, he wore a low fade that suited his face, but he looked 25 and Lola was only just about to be 18.

"I've got a boyfriend, sorry" She smiled.

"Damn, who even said I was tryna holla?" he said crossing his arms and looking ahead.

"So you ain't tryna holla?" Lola was surprised.

"Of course I was, you just shut a nigga down real quick" he smiled licking his lips.

"Sorry"she shrugged going onto her phone.

"Is your boyfriend here?"

"No"

"What he doesn't know won't hurt?" the guy said moving closer to her.

"I'm not like that" she said looking at him weirdly.

"Don't play with me shawty" he said putting his hand on her thigh.

She pushed his hand off her and stood up. "Can't you take no for an answer?" she asked.

"I know you want this" he said. Lola looked around for Michael as the guy stood up, but he couldn't see him anywhere.

"Just chill out" he said edging towards her, she noticed the red in his eyes. He was either high or drunk as fuck. Probably both.

She froze as he grabbed her hand roughly.

"Yo" The guy she had noticed in the food hall pushed the guy backwards.

"Who are you?" he yelled in his face.

"Her man" The guy said taking Lola's hand and standing in front of her.

The drunk man left them alone and Lola walked out the house with the guy from school.

"Thank you" she said hugging him tightly. She felt weak and vulnerable and was so glad he had stepped him.

"Are you okay?" He said looking down at her.

"Imma be aight" she laughed nervously. She tried to blink away the tears but it wasn't working. She wiped them away quickly and pulled a smile off.

"You wanna sit down?" he asked looking at the brick wall that stood around the house.

As they sat down the sky got darker.

"My name's Darius" he said.

"Im Lola" she responded.

"How come I ain't ever seen you around school before?" he asked leaning on his knees.

"I guess I keep to myself, didn't really wanna associate with others after people thought I was dating Michael" Lola admitted. A lot of girls looked at her nastily after that, it got worse after the incident at Milkshake's. It was clear Michael had a soft spot for her, he never showed that to any of the other girls.

"You shouldn't, you're really beautiful" he said.

"Thanks" Lola blushed. His dark complexion looked gorgeous in the moonlight and his arms tensed due to the breeze that was coming through.

They spoke into the night about school and the people in their lives as the party went on.

***

Jay's behind was doing tricks and Michael was loving it, it was giving him all types of satisfaction and Jay loved the attention she was getting from Michael. She was glad he was looking at her rather than that Lola bitch.

She felt him get hard and smirked to herself, she turned around and whispered into his ear before leading him upstairs.

His hands roamed her body and reached down to her peachy butt before she pushed him against the wall.
She kissed along his jawline and made her way down his neck, then down to his pants.

"Is this okay?" She asked as she unbuckled his belt. He nodded his head and held her weave up for her.

He groaned as her throat worked it's way up and down his member.

***

"How are you getting home?" Darius asked. It was nearly one in the morning and Lola hadn't seen any of her friends yet.

"My friend is inside" Lola said. "He's gonna give me a lift."

"I could give you one if you want" he smiled.

"I really shouldn't, my dad would go crazy if he heard I go in the car with a stranger." She giggled nervously.

"Ouch" he held onto his chest "stranger?"

"I only met you today" she said honestly.

"I promise I won't try no weird Shut if that's what you're scared of" he said. "Plus we got school later today"

"Fine" she said. She smiled at him and followed him to his car.

Once she got home she thanked him and quickly ran to the house. She opened the door quietly and sneaked upstairs, passing her dad who was asleep on the couch. The Tv was playing in the background.

She changed into her pyjamas and went back downstairs with a blanket and covered her dad up. She then switched the television off and walked upstairs again to go to sleep.
