Chapter Text
Chadara couldn't believe that the day was finally here, the day where she would become a high school student; Nasir on the other hand was so nervous that he was shaking during the whole car ride to their new school in the backseat. When Chadara's mom pulled up to the school, all that she could think is there it is Rebel High in all its glory; Chadara kissed her mom on the cheek and told her that she would see her later; Nasir said the same then they got out and started walking inside as Ms. Carter said have a good day and drove off. On their way inside while Chadara was going on about how she couldn't wait to get her a "older man"; Nasir started reminiscing about the early days of the Nasir & Chadara show.
Flashback
Nasir and his parents came to America when he was eight years old from Syria and settled in Florida because his dad got a job offer from this big corporation that paid a lot more than the job he had in Syria. It was during the summer when they moved and Nasir's parents thought that this was a good thing because it would give Nasir a chance to make a few friends before school started so he wouldn't have to be a outcast. The street that they settled on is where he first met Chadara because she lived on the same street on the opposite side just a couple houses down from Nasir's house. While the movers were moving their stuff into the house, Nasir stood outside and dribbled his basketball when this girl with blonde shoulder length hair, small silver hoops in her ears, bright pink shorts, a sleeveless white tank top and pink chucks came over and said "Hi" Nasir said "Hi" back then the girl said "I'm Chadara, i live over there" and pointed this yellow and white house across the street.
Nasir: I'm Nasir
Chadara: So, you're new around here?
Nasir: Yeah
Chadara: Good
Nasir: Good?
Chadara: Yeah because i get to be your first friend around here
Nasir: Uh, ok?
Chadara: You wanna go to the park down the street?
Nasir: Yeah! Just let me go ask my parents first.
As they were walking to the park, Nasir dribbled his ball
Chadara: You have really pretty hair
Nasir's hair wasn't past his shoulder's as it is now but it was dark brown and shiny. Nasir blushed a little and reached a hand up to his head and smoothed his hair down
Nasir: Thanks.
At the park
Nasir shot some hoops while Chadara looked on and talked to him about some things that she found to be interesting when this fat kid about their age but a little taller tried to take Nasir's ball. Nasir put up a good fight but the boy was bigger and stronger; when he got Nasir on the ground, Chadara came up from behind the boy and kicked him between his thighs to get him off of Nasir.
Ever since then they've been inseparable.
They were the same age and went to the same elementary and middle school. Their parents became good friends because they were so close, even though it was just Chadara and her mom; she never knew her dad. He left her mom when she got pregnant with her, they were only seventeen and still in high school so Nasir's dad became like a father figure to Chadara since she was around so much. They bonded over the fact that they didn't have siblings and ended up becoming more like brother and sister than best friends.
Except for that one time when they were twelve and shared that kiss that didn't feel right and Nasir realized that he didn't like girls.
He told Chadara afterwards that he didn't think that he liked girls and she got really excited because she was going to have a "BGF" or in other words a best gay friend even though he wouldn't be the typical gay; he was into sports, good at sports wasn't all about how he looked and besides his long hair there was nothing that could be considered "gay" about him except for his interest in boys.
Once they entered Rebel High they looked around with their mouths agape and couldn't believe it the school was huge and there was a lot of people walking around that suddenly made them realize how short they were; Nasir was about 5'8 while Chadara was just a little bit taller than him compared to the other kids they felt like dwarfs. Nasir's nerves slowly dissipated as he realized that he could meet his first boyfriend here. Here they were both fourteen and freshmen; starting this new journey.
As they walked through the school looking at their schedules trying to see what room their homeroom was and where their lockers were
Chadara: Can you believe we made it?
Nasir: Dar it's just high school. You know comes after middle school which we just graduated from
Chadara elbowed him in the rib hard
Nasir: Ow!
Chadara: Quit trying to act like you're not excited to be a high schooler
Nasir: Ok. So i'm a little excited
Chadara: There you go! Do you know what this means?
Nasir rolls his eyes, Chadara elbows him again.
Nasir: Ouch! Same spot. That's gonna bruise
Chadara: I saw you roll your eyes. Anyways, it means high school parties, high school boys and some independence
Nasir: Yeah i know what you mean
They reached their lockers which are on the top floor because they're freshmen. They are a couple lockers apart from each other because Chadara's last name is Carter and Nasir's is Hakim. They put their bookbags in them and take out notebooks and pens/pencils and head to homeroom which is also on the top floor of the four-story building
They have homeroom together. As they walk arm in arm Chadara turns to Nasir
Chadara: How do i look?
Nasir gives Chadara a once over and she's wearing pink doc martens, a pink dress/shirt thingie with pink shorts underneath. As you can see pink is Chadara's favorite color. She even has a pink highlight streak in her hair, pink bands, rings and earrings on.
Nasir: Seriously?
Chadara nods at him.
Nasir grimaces.
Nasir: Like a bottle of Pepto Bismol
Chadara uses the arm that's not tangled with his to whack him with her notebook.
Chadara: Hey!
Nasir: I'm sorry. But at least i think you're pretty
Chadara was pretty very pretty in fact. Nasir always swore to her that if he wasn't gay she would definitely be his girlfriend; she had long blonde hair now down to the middle of her back, a nice little figure with a big butt and B cups that would only develop more throughout high school.
Chadara: Well thank you, you're not so bad yourself
Nasir: Shut up
Nasir could be quite bashful at times. He really didn't believe that he could be as cute as Chadara always told him he was.
Chadara: I'm serious Nasir. You're cute.
Nasir: Thanks
Chadara would never admit this to Nasir but she always secretly wished that he wasn't gay so he could be her boyfriend. She's always saying to him that they would make cute babies if they were to have babies together.
After homeroom the next couple of periods went by pretty fast and now it was lunch time
As Chadara was making her way through the cafeteria to sit with Nasir she suddenly bumped into someone who wasn't watching where they were going.
Chadara: I'm walking here!
The boy turned to her and by the way his face was screwed up looked like he was going to say something just as snarky but when he saw how she looked he looked her up and down like he was sizing her up
Boy: You're hot.
Chadara looked him up and down with both eyebrows raised; the boy was about her height, had a very round shaped head/face, there was a tan to his skin and he had a medium build with nice biceps. Firm upper body.
Might just be the older man that i am looking for she thought.
Chadara: Um, thanks?
Boy: I'm Rhaskos
Chadara: Chadara
Rhaskos: Well Chadara, i hope i see you at Spartacus' "Back to School" party on Friday
Chadara: The senior right?
Rhaskos: Yep
Chadara: Oh i'll be there
Rhaskos: Cool!
The rest of the day was a breeze and there was no homework except for an English paper they had due on Friday. Nasir in his honors class and Chadara in her basic class. The next couple of days went by pretty fast and then it was the day of the party.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The night of the party Chadara's mom convinced Nasir's parents to let him go because them being Muslims and all didn't think that it was a good look for him to be going to a unsupervised high school party. Chadara's mom dropped them off at around ten. The party was on the sixth floor of a ten-story apartment complex. Spartacus' place was big enough to house like three hundred teens. Everybody knows Spartacus', he's the most popular boy at Rebel High, he's not rich but he plays like every sport and is the best at all of them, he's good looking with short dirty blonde hair and blue eyes about 6 foot 2. And he has a girlfriend her name is Mira. Spartacus is eighteen and he's been emancipated since he was fifteen that's why he already has his own place before he has even graduated high school. He had a rough childhood. His mom left him and his dad when he was about eight years old because Spartacus' dad used to beat on her and he hasn't seen her since. After she left his dad started drinking more and began beating on him and they were always moving from place to place because his dad couldn't hold down a job. Spartacus can afford to pay his bills because he has a good paying job and he receives some type of government funds.
Before Nasir and Chadara went in they looked at each other to make sure they were looking good. Nasir had on some black levi's, black boots, a black short sleeved button down that he didn't button up over his pecs exposing his beater underneath and his hair was parted a little in the middle and pulled back behind his shoulders and some of it in the back was in some sort of band. Chadara had on grey ankle heel boots, a tight pink miniskirt, a pink halter top, her many pink rings and bangles on her arms and fingers, her hair was in curls down to her shoulder blades and she had big silver hoops in her ears.
Nasir: You look hot!
Chadara: You too!
They knocked and when the door flew open a boy about their heights built like a brick wall; large around the middle, muscle all around flashed a smile and said "Welcome, come on in; I'm Lugo by the way".
They stepped in
Chadara: I'm Chadara and this is Nasir
Nasir looked Lugo straight in the eye and gave a head nod. Lugo then proceeded to engulf them both in a bear hug lifting them up off the ground taking the air out of both of them. When somebody approached them and said "Lugo let them go before you crush them with your big ass". Lugo let them go and turned to a guy who was like 6'2 with a blonde buzz cut and said "Shut up. My ass is not big". Me and Dar started laughing. Then the guy shook both of our hands and said "I'm Donar and don't worry about Lugo he's harmless".
Nasir: Yeah but he might hug us to death. Nasir said sarcastically.
Lugo laughed a hearty laugh and clapped Nasir on the shoulder and said "I like you little man". Nasir laughed too.
Rhaskos must've saw Chadara from across the room because he came over and said "I'm glad you could make it" offering Chadara a drink in a red cup. She took it and said "Thanks. Me too" tapping Nasir's shoulder she said "This is my bestie Nasir" Rhaskos shook Nasir's hand and said "What's up man i'm Rhaskos".
Nasir: Nice to meet you!
After those few meet and greets Nasir and Chadara separated, she spent the rest of the party dancing and talking to Rhaskos. While Nasir met a girl named Naevia who was about 5'7 with high cheek bones, hazel eyes, full lips, a short asymmetrical style haircut and a slim frame talked all night. As a dude about 6 feet tall with a very muscular build stood talking with some handsome guy with long blonde hair and a slim athletic build a bit shorter than very muscular guy gawked at them until he approached the pair. At some point during their conversation; Naevia pointed and said "That's my boyfriend Crixus and the guy with the long hair is Gannicus". After that Crixus came over to them and Nasir and him were introduced. Gannicus and a pretty girl with long blonde hair and a tight little athletic build of about Naevia's height disappeared into the only bedroom of the apartment apparently to hook up and Nasir learned that her name was Saxa.
Nasir told Crixus that he didn't need to worry about him trying to push up on his girl because he was gay and Crixus said "That's a good thing because i wouldn't want to have to beat you up" then they both laughed. Naevia then said "I know somebody that would really like you" Nasir raised a eyebrow to her and said "Really" before she could continue Crixus said "No Naevia don't try to hook him up with that dumbass" Naevia smacked him across the chest with the back of her hand that was closest to him and said "Hush" then said to Nasir "His name is Agron and i think you might like him too".
From across the room Donar and Agron were talking and Agron was looking around the room and all of a sudden his eyes went big and Donar seeing this followed his gaze to Nasir then he slapped Agron on the back of the neck and said "Can you not be scoping out your next conquest while i'm talking to you" Agron then blinked and said "Who is that"?
Donar: His name is Nasir. Donar said flatly because he knew what Agron was thinking without him even saying it. He looked at Agron who was now smiling still staring at Nasir.
Agron: Nasir and Agron, he said happily; don't that sound good together. Our couple name could be Nagron.
Donar just rolled his eyes and walked away from him.
Crixus then interrupts the whole party to announce that he is going to marry Naevia one day and everybody just says who cares and tells him to turn the music back on. He says fuck all yall then turns the music back on and comes back over to Naevia grumbling a whole bunch of curse words.
In the meantime
Spartacus and his girlfriend of two years; Mira, are on the balcony and it looks like they're having a serious conversation. After about ten minutes of watching them. The balcony door then opens and Mira comes over to where me and Naevia are sitting on a couch with tears in her eyes and says "Me and Spartacus broke up". Naevia says "Aw Mira" then hugs and rubs her back for a bit. Seeing me over Naevia's shoulder, Mira sits up and looks at me and says "I'm sorry i don't think we've met, i'm Mira" shaking my hand. I say "I know you're Spartacus and Mira everybody knows you guys, i'm Nasir".
The party concludes and as Rhaskos drives me and Dar home i start to think that i'm going to like it at Rebel High.
