              "Hold on, I know you..."

Your eyes wandered from Angel's nail which was pointed at Eren. You squinted your eyes in confusion as you looked at Eren, his cheeks flushed with the color pink.

Eren ignored Angel and didn't even look up from his phone. Everyone stayed silent as they kept their eyes on you, Angel, and Eren.

"You know Eren?" Chanel questioned Angel.

"Yeah we were out together last weekend, Saturday from what I remember," Angel kept her eyes on Eren, who still was looking down at his phone.

"Huh?!" Kendrick and Hakeem were the first to break the awkward silence between everyone. They both looked at each other after hearing what Angel just said.

"Is that why he couldn't pick up the phone?" Hakeem rose one of his eyebrows as he looked at Eren.

"It has to be 'cus ain't no way," Kendrick wiped his hand on his jeans before sipping on his sprite, clicking his tongue after swallowing.

"Eren," you called out his name. Eren peaked one of his eyes at you, barely showing his whole face, "Saturday? I thought you said you were busy on Saturday with Armin?"

Armin sipped on his bubble tea as he kept his eyes on you and Eren, softly patting his chest after clearing his throat.

"Um," Eren finally spoke up, having the courage to fully show his face, "I can explain."

"Ah hell nahhhhh," Hakeem and Kendrick hollered as they shook their heads, "Not the 'I can explain' bullshit."

"Well?" you ignored Hakeem and Kendrick instigating and waited for him to explain himself. Everything felt still. Nobody made any movements as they waited for Eren to continue talking.

"What were you doing on Saturday, Eren?" you asked him, your voice coming off as calm and steady. Eren would open his mouth but quickly closing it as he hesitated to answer your question.

"Spit it the fuck out white boy," Hakeem raised his voice a bit as he kept his eyes pierced on Eren, "The hell was you doing?"

"Oh shit," Kendrick placed his cup back on the table as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and waved  at Chanel to come sit beside him again. Chanel tip toed away from Angel as she took her seat next to Kendrick.

"On Saturday I went over your place to see you," He started, "And I didn't see you there because a guy that opened the door told me you were out with Kendrick..."

You, Hakeem, and Kendrick all groaned after realizing the "guy" was Shawn. You rubbed your temple and rested your cheek on your face, "Okay and what about Kendrick?"

"I thought you were out doing something with Kendrick."

Kendrick and Chanel slapped their hands over their mouthes as they looked at each other. Hakeem kept his mouth slightly open as he blinked his eyes, wandering his eyes from left to right.

"Now why the hell would you think that?" you closed your eyes, "Because you were what? Jealous? I literally told you who Kendrick was and that nothing was happening between us."

"Wait y/n is your childhood friend right?" Chanel whispered to Kendrick who was still drinking his soda.

"Uh she's my ex girlfriend but childhood friend could work too," Kendrick shrugged.

"Ex?! She didn't tell me that?!"

"Shorty it don't matter," Kendrick made the lightskin face as he bit his lip, staring at Chanel. Chanel scrunched up her face and playfully pushed Kendrick's face away from hers.

"But I still felt...jealous," Eren said lowly.

"Okay? and what did you do instead of talking to me?" your fingers spreaded out as you moved your hand in the air.

"I went to the club," Eren spoke lowly as he lowered his head as well, "And I..."

"And you what?" you drummed your fingers against the table, still waiting for Eren to continue. You felt pissed off by how long it was taking Eren to just get to the bottom of everything.

"I did some things, with Angel."

You averted your head away from Eren's sight as you caught up to what Eren meant. Your fingers were covering your mouth in disbelief, your leg bouncing.

You blinked repeatedly, wishing what you just heard was a hoax. You felt Hakeem gently pressing his hand on your shoulder for support as he helped himself up.

"I know you fucking lying," Hakeem tried to grab Eren's shirt but Chanel already clenched his jacket, pulling him back, "WHITE BOY GOT ME FUCKED UP."

"OH SHIT!" Kendrick pressed the record button, moving the camera in Hakeem's direction, "WORLDSTAR????"

"Mamas, is this your boyfriend? 'Cus ion play with that cheatin' shit," Angel placed her hands on the table as she looked at you, drumming her nails against the table.

"Nah, he ain't my boyfriend," you looked back at Eren who looked away from your eye contact. You clenched your jaw as you kept your eyes on him, just thinking about how stupid he was.

"That ain't her boyfriend but they clearly had something going on," said Chanel who was still trying to hold back Hakeem.

"Nigga?" Angel gave Eren a mean mugged face, farrowing her eyebrows down, "You told me that you wasn't messing with nobody?"

"So you not only lied to me? But you even lied to her too?" you lowered your head down to his level so you could see his face, "Nigga im talking to you," you pressed your finger against his chest, causing him to sit up.

Eren didn't respond, he kept his mouth shut and just listened to the profanities that Hakeem was shouting at him.

"Are you dumb?" you snapped at him, "Like are you fucking dumb? You feel some type a way and the first thing you do is whip out your dick?"

"On Black History Month too? Man has no shame," Kendrick shook his head and clicked his tongue as he zoomed the camera into Eren's face.

"You belong to the streets my nigga, the streets," Hakeem hissed at Eren as he struggled from getting up due to Chanel holding him back.

"Y/n seems hella calm," Connie whispered to Kendrick as he held a handful of fries.

"It's not a good calm bro, she was like this when we got in a argument," Kendrick took some fries from Connie's hand, "Just watch."

"Nah nah fuck that shit," you slowly got up from your seat and stood over Eren, "My problem is the fact that you couldn't even trust me and for what?"

"See I told you," Kendrick chewed on his fry as Connie also continued to eat his fries, sitting on the edge of his seat, "Where's the communication at?!" Kendrick made a high pitched voice as he looked at an imaginary camera.

"What i'm saying," Armin lifted his eyebrow and rested them as he mumbled under his breath, leaning back in his seat.

"We ain't even in a relationship bruh and you can't even trust me? So how would this be any different if we were in one?" you kept going and pressed your two fingers against his temple, "You have no place to not trust me when you do this shit behind my back."

Eren crossed his arms after you pushed the side of his head with your fingers, "We're in public, can we not do this here..."

"Nigga you tryna silence me? You had no problem having sex in the club, why the fuck do I gotta quiet down?"

"Damn shawty has a point," Angel rubbed her thumb against her lips.

"My people will never be free," Kendrick randomly blurted out as he shook his head.

"Kendrick oh my-" Chanel hovered her hand in front of her mouth as she giggled.

You whipped your head back and tried to grab Kendrick's phone, "Turn that damn camera off."

"Aye aye aye, don't drop my phone," Kendrick moved his phone away from you and decided to stop recording.

You knew you couldn't get too mad about Eren sleeping with another girl but you were more upset about the lies and how untrustworthy he was towards you.

He left you clueless, he embarrassed you, and he made you look stupid. You despised him in this current moment just for that.

"Y/n beat his ass before I do," Hakeem threatened as he tried to get out of Chanel's grip.

You ignored Hakeem and glanced back at Eren, "How long were you gonna keep this a secret," you crossed your arms together as you looked down at him. Eren stared at his shoes, tapping his foot against the legs of the table.

"I don't know," Eren shrugged, bringing his hand up to his neck and slowly rubbed it.

You brushed your thumb against your nose and let out a chuckle, "You was finna keep this act up weren't you? Eren, you had me walking around looking dumb as fuck for days."

Eren glanced at you through his eyelashes and slumped his shoulder after seeing your eyes darting into his soul. He's never seen you this pissed off before, he knew that he messed up big time.

"You're pathetic," you sounded irritated, as you snapped at him, "Had me worrying sick about where yo ass have been, worrying sick about how different you were acting just to find out you were doing sneaky shit behind my back?"

"Never trust a white man, what did I tell you Y/n," Hakeem exclaimed but quickly forming his lips into a straight line after feeling the eyes of your other friends on him.

"Omg Angel, I'm sorry that you gotta witness this, i'll call you later yeah?" Chanel looked up at Angel who was still standing in front of the table

"Ight," Angel nodded at Chanel before clearing her throat, glancing at you, "Uh Y/n is it?"

You looked away from Eren after glaring at him, your face relaxed as you stared at Angel, "Yes?"

"Sorry for causing all this, I do hope things work out," Angel made an awkward smile, her grills showing a bit as she patted her hands against her leg. Your eyes softened at her kindness, slowly giving her a small smile.

"Don't blame yourself Angel, blame this mothafucka here for lying to you," you sent Eren another cold stare as you pointed your index finger near his face. Angel waved goodbye to everyone before walking towards the exit of the food court.

Everyone stayed silent as they kept their eyes on you and Eren, surprisingly Hakeem even went silent as well. Your eyes stayed put on Eren's presence, still in disbelief about what he did.

"Sorry," you heard Eren clear his throat as he spoke.

"What?" your top lip lifted up a bit as you looked at him up and down.

"Sorry..." Eren repeated himself, still not giving you any type of eye contact.

"Sorry my ass," you scoffed and began to grab your things, "Hakeem let's go, i'm done here."

"Damn...I cant beat his ass for real?" Hakeem groaned as he felt Chanel's grip on his jacket loosen. You shook your head and grabbed all your stuff, shopping bags etc.

You flipped your phone as you started to remove the case and pulled out the photo strips that you took with him, "Shove this up your ass," you threw the photo strips at him and held your shopping bags.

"Yo white ass is lucky Chanel was holding me back from colliding my fist with your jaw," Hakeem looked at Eren up and down with a stank face before walking with you to the exit of the food court.

Completely forgetting that your other friends were with you, you ended up leaving without even saying goodbye to them. Chanel and Kendrick were the only ones left, with the others.

Everyone was shocked about how quickly your tone changed, it was like you were another person. You were so kind and sweet, seeing you like this made them feel so bad for you.

No one was surprised about Eren's fuck boy antics but we're mainly surprised about how you reacted to everything.

"Uhhh me and Chanel are gonna go," Kendrick picked up his tray and stood up. He shook his head at Eren before turning around, Chanel waving goodbye to everyone as she followed behind Kendrick.

"Wow," Connie exhaled after witnessing everything that went down.

"That was," Sasha slowly chewed on her french fry, "Intense."
