Chapter 13
Sometimes life's surprises turn out to be hidden blessings, but this? This was nothing but pure disaster.
With a mix of shock and curiosity, I opened my Twitter mentions. The sheer number of notifications made my head spin.
"What in the world? Did I somehow log into someone else's account?" I wondered, scrolling through the mentions as I walked.
The first one I read hit me like a punch to the gut: "@ladi being used as a tool and he thinks he's making me jealous? Fool!" - 3 hours ago
And guess who posted that tweet? The same guy who'd been hovering around Faith earlier - the one sitting next to her at the pool. I found out his name was Ken.
I continued scrolling and saw more tweets from him:
"@______ ain't no niggah pulling me down, you will lose" - 3 hours ago
"@_____ By the time you see this, you'll probably be crying" - 3 hours ago
He'd attached a photo to that last one - him and Faith at school, their faces close enough to kiss. So they were classmates? Lovers? Both?
These tweets weren't just random - they painted a clear picture, even if I didn't want to see it.
I decided against responding. First, I needed to find Faith and hear the truth from her about their relationship. Besides, real men settle things face to face, I'm not a keypad warrior. I throw fists.
