Until The End of Time: The Prequel

6. Shade

"I'm still hungry." Olive pouted.

"You eat like a fuckin' mad man but don't gain any weight." Kyan stated, his voice going up a few octaves as he spoke.

"Must be nice." I shrugged and Hazel looked at me crazy.

"Thad used to be chubby." Kyan mumbled and I kissed my teeth.

"Awwwww, baby." Olive chuckled and I side-eyed her.

"Oh, so you always been a skinny nigga?" Hazel shot at him and I high fived her for being on my side.

"I'm payin' for your food and you wanna talk reckless?" Kyan asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Baby, I got racks." Hazel snapped back with some sass in her tone.

"You talkin' to the King of Money though." Kyan smiled and she rolled her eyes.

"Monopoly money." Hazel mumbled and I couldn't help but laugh.

You could tell that they wouldn't accept their feelings for each other. They both had the same personality. They were both stubborn as hell and always hiding their damn feelings. They can get over it though because they got something special and it's gone be crazy one day.

Olive and I went to the park after we parted ways with Kyan and Hazel. The sun was setting, so it wasn't too hot and the sun was a beautiful red-orange color with soft clouds sprinkled across it. The trees provided more shade and the wind blew.

I pulled my hoodie over Olive's head and she stuck her arms through it.

"What's the point of the hoodie if I'm wearing shorts?" She giggled. I kissed her nose.

"I was trynna be romantic." I laughed with her. "And stop them nipples from showing when you got cold."

She smacked my arm and we both laughed anyway as she latched on to my arm. "I had fun today." She said quietly as we walked around the trail.

"Me too. I felt like a kid again, but you always make me feel like that."

She smiled up at me and then sighed. "Let's skip school tomorrow."

"No can do. Education is important."

"I don't feel like seeing girls drool all over you. Let's run away together." She pouted and I kissed her pouty face.

"One day, baby. One day."

Olive

Without Thad to cling on to, I couldn't sleep very well. I missed his warmth and the way he holds me when we sleep.

It shocks me how I could possibly be so open with him. He cracked my shell and I had some crazy feelings for him. I'm still shy and quiet around people, but with Thad, I'm just me. I do stupid things and he thinks it's the cutest thing ever.

I dragged into school next to Hazel. She kissed my hair before we parted ways to our first block. As always, the teacher didn't care about our education and let us have free will. I took my headphones from my purse, and plugged them in my phone.

Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu flooded my ears and I instantly felt relaxed. That is until Fiona and Lola sat down next to me. I could see their mouths moving, but couldn't hear because of my music. Fiona snatched out my right headphone.

"Bitch, I'll-" I stopped and gasped, realizing I cursed.

"Wow. Thorp is rubbing off on you." Fiona gushed.

"You guys are my fav!" Lola exclaimed.

"You're definitely whipped." Fiona and Lola giggly hysterically.

"I am not!" I exclaim and then lower my voice. "I have Thaddeus wrapped around my finger. What I say, goes."

"That pussy make him bow down." Lola chuckled and I nodded in agreement.

"He basically worships the ground I walk on. He's pussy whipped." I flipped my hair over my shoulder.

"You guys are still cute as hell." Fiona nudges me. "The picture he put of you on Instagram had me dying from all the cuteness."

"What picture?" I frown in confusion.

Lola quickly takes out her phone and goes to Thad's Instagram. It's a picture of me from yesterday before we went to play paintball. It was an off guard and I was fixing my hair. The caption read: "If this world were mine .... 🌎❤️"

I smiled at the picture and then the lies I just told dragged me down. I gave the girls a fake smile.

"I didn't know." I pouted on the inside.

Thad wouldn't find out about what I said, right? I didn't mean it anyway.
