Consequences by Skyy Page B

coming to the club, and it’s my first semester at Freedom. I transferred from Christian Brothers.” Lynn smiled at Cooley, who tried to keep her cool face on. “I didn’t know you were the head stud around here.” Lynn laughed.
    â€œHa, ha, ha, very funny. I’m not the head of anything, I’m just Cool. So what are you getting into after the club?” Cooley looked Lynn in her eyes again. It made them weak. She could see it was working on Lynn.
    â€œNothing. Just going back to my room, unless I find something else to get into.” Lynn gave Cooley a seductive grin.
    Cooley licked her lips. “I think I have something we can do. Watch a movie or something. Let me grab my things, and we can head out.” Cooley headed to the dressing room. Suddenly her night was taking a turn for the better.

    Carmen scanned the crowd, looking for Nic. She noticed her standing at the bar. Carmen’s heart dropped when she saw Nic talking to Jamela. She quickly began to make her way to the bar.
    â€œSo, your show was off the chain,” Jamela said to Nic.
    â€œThank you. Thanks for the tips,” Nic said. She hoped the bartender would quickly give her the drinks she ordered.
    â€œSo, what’s up with you anyway, Nic?” Jamela batted her fake eyelashes. “What’s a girl got to do to get to know you a little better?”
    â€œNow you know I got a woman,” Nic said, handing the bartender the money.
    â€œSo, you can’t have friends?” Jamela batted her fake eyelashes.
    â€œI already got those too. But thanks.”
    â€œJamela, what the fuck do you think you doin’?” Carmen said as she jumped in front of Nic.
    â€œCarmen, chill.” Nic attempted to grab Carmen’s arm, but she jerked away.
    â€œWhat you mean? I think I’m talking.”
    â€œBitch, don’t make me hurt you. You know Nic is mine and if you come by her again, I’m gon’ beat you worse than Teka did,” Carmen threatened.
    Last year a girl named Teka had attacked Jamela for sleeping with her girlfriend. Teka beat her and pulled all her clothes off of her in the middle of the parking lot. Jamela had to run to her car naked.
    â€œWhatever, bitch,” Jamela retorted.
    Carmen began to swing, but Nic grabbed her hand.
    â€œCome on, let’s go!” Nic said in a stern voice as she pulled Carmen away.
    â€œCarmen, what the fuck is wrong with you?” Nic asked as they drove home.
    â€œWhat you mean, what’s wrong with me? What the fuck is wrong with you, all up in her grill and shit!”
    â€œCarmen, I can handle my own shit. You don’t even know what I was saying. Why you trying to go off? Before you tried to jump bad, I had just told her that I had a girl.”
    â€œShe don’t care. She was gon’ try you anyway.”
    â€œShe can try all she want to. That don’t mean I am going to let her. Shit, Carmen, you ain’t got to worry about these scandalous bitches out here. I’m with who I want to be with.”
    â€œBut—”
    â€œThere isn’t any buts to it. Carmen, you can’t try to fight every girl that tries to talk to me, just like I can’t try to fight every girl that tries to get with you. I know you aren’t going anywhere.”
    â€œAnd you know girls not gon’ try to talk to me like they try to get with you.” Carmen fought to hold back her tears.
    â€œCarmen, please, that isn’t the point. The point is that I don’t want any of them. I got who I want. You gon’ have to get up off that jealousy shit.”
    Carmen fell silent. She knew Nic was right. She didn’t know how to react to those situations. “I just don’t want to loose you.”
    â€œYou aren’t going to.” Nic kissed her hand. “Wit’ yo’ crazy ass.”
    They both laughed.
    â€œI love you, shorty.”
    â€œLove you too.” Carmen smiled,
