Bambi had never thought of the day when she would be stuck in the situation she was in now.

One part of her wanted to completely snap while the other wanted to turn around and run down the hallway.

She was torn and the only thing she could was WWBD.

What would Bria do?

Watching Mac kiss some random chick in the cut of a hallway took Bambi's breath away. Mostly because she had expected more of him which was probably her first mistake. Listening to her first mind Bambi approached the duo and cleared her throat. They didn't hear her or feel her presence so she did it again and much louder.

Mac pulled away from the girl and as soon as his eyes locked with Bambi's the regret in his face was almost enough for her to feel sorry. Keyword, almost.

"Really?" was all Bambi could say. She was pissed and he wasn't even her man. She could think about how Bria was going to react once she found out. Bambi wasn't going to watch her best friends man cheat and not say something, she didn't operate like that.

"Bambi please" Mac completely pushed home girl to the side and stepped closed to Bambi.

"Please what Mac? You're a fuckin cheater and I'm telling Bria. I don't care if it was just a kiss" the look on Bambi's face showed how disgusted she was with him.

"Let me tell her" Mac pleaded and Bambi shook her head.

"Mac who is this?" the girl asked making her presence known once again.

"I'm the best friend of the bitch who is going to beat your ass if you don't leave right now" the girl looked shocked but didn't move.

"Mac get your bitch" Bambi warned.

"She's not my bitch Kayla just leave please."

"Whatever Mac" with a dismissive wave of her hand she finally walked away leaving them alone.

"Bambi can I explain now"

"Explain what? I just saw it all with my own two eyes" she yelled at him.

"It just happened Bam, I'm not no dog like that. I admit it was wrong but I can't lose Bria over this shit"

"You should have thought about that before you laid your lips on that dog"

"Just let me tell her please" he pleaded once again.

"I give you one-day Mac, if she doesn't know by this time tomorrow. I'm singing like a fuckin canary"

"Thanks Bam"

"Don't thank me and the name is Bambi nigga" she gave him one last look before she walked away shaking her head the entire time.

She was still reeling over what she saw and really didn't want to finish her classes but she also didn't want to be around Bria for too long. She would only end up telling her and as mad as she was Bambi still wanted to give the Mac the chance to explain.

As she walked across campus to her next class Bambi tried to think about how she would feel if she had caught her man kissing another chick. The last real relationship she had was in high school and although she did love him she could have cared less about if he had been with another chick. At the time she just wasn't built to care.

Now, she didn't know how she would react but she knew somebody would be bleeding. Kissing was still cheating to Bambi no matter what anyone said. It still crossed boundaries that shouldn't even be thought about when in a relationship.

"Thinking hard?" the voice startled Bambi from her thoughts. She looked to her left to see Grant now walking along with her.

"Where have you been?" she hadn't seen him since his kickback during the first week of school.

"Here, just been in the books. I have seven classes this semester."

"Damn Grant, that's a lot."

"I know and half of them are science and math related so a nigga been stressed."

"I can imagine; you look tired" she noticed the bags under his red eyes.

"I am but I got to do it, next semester is my last one I can't fuck up now" she smiled hearing how passionate he was.

It was refreshing for Bambi to come from home where most niggas biggest ambition was to drive an Infinity but now to be around a bunch of black men who were still rough around the edges but had legitimate goals was nice.

"You'll get through it Grant."

"I hope so but I'll catch you later I gotta head to the union."

"Ok don't disappear on me again."

"I won't" he said walking backwards. Bambi waved at him and headed into the building where her second to last class was.

"You dog ass nigga" Bambi heard Bria yelled before she could even turn the key in the lock. She hadn't expected for Mac to tell her so soon but was glad he did.

Opening the door Bambi entered cautiously not wanting to get hit by any flying object.

"Bria I'm sorry I fucked up" Mac yelled back at her.

"Fuck you Mac, get out my damn house!"

"No" he said and Bambi was shocked. She tip toed past Bria's room trying to hear all that she could without getting caught.

"Mac you have like ten seconds before I fuck you up with something real sharp so I suggest you leave" hearing that Bambi speed walked to her room but left the door open.

"Fine but a nigga just gone keep coming back."

"And a bitch is gone be ready to cut your ass every time" Bambi laughed at Bria's response. Her room door flew open and Mac stormed out slamming the front door behind himself.

Bambi gave her girl a minute to think and didn't leave her room until she heard Bria crying.

"I can't believe his ass Bambi" Bria said not even turning around to look at Bambi.

"I know girl, I can't either."

"He told me you caught him"

"Yep, I told him he had one day to tell you or I was" Bambi said as she sat on her bed.

"I'm so mad at him"

"I know"

"But I know I'm not done with his ass"

"I know" Bambi said once again. Even when she had caught them she didn't expect for three years of love to be thrown out the window over a kiss but this was a major road block for them.

"This is some real bullshit. Mac and Nate out here kissing bitches, acting like we not some bad bitches"

"Nate?" Bambi said shocked.

"Yeah girl, you know Lia the Delta?" Bambi nodded "she posted pics of them from yesterday all hugged up in that nigga hot tub."

Bambi's eyes widened "Oh shit he had you in the hot tub too huh?" Bria hadn't even remembered that Bambi was with Nate the night before until she saw her face.

"Damn that nigga dirty, all these niggas dirty" Bria said with more tears coming from her eyes.

Bambi couldn't even respond; it wasn't like she could be mad that he was with another girl but it was the respect. For him to take pictures with some chick just hours before he had her in the same spot probably spitting the same stupid ass game to had Bambi on ten.

"I'm not even pressed" she was trying to sound believable.

"Yes you are don't lie to me. But it's okay we can just be sad together" Bria was still crying and Bambi was annoyed at this point. She got up and went to her own room closing and locking the door behind herself.

➤➤➤➤

"You ready to see him?" Bria looked at Bambi who only shrugged her shoulders. Putting her eyes back on the road Bria shook her head and focused on getting to campus on time.

Bambi had ignored every text and call from Nate on Monday and Tuesday. Now it was Wednesday and she would have to see him in class not that she cared anymore. Skipping classes on Tuesday, Bambi sat in her room all day mentally cutting all ties from Nate. She didn't want any more drama that he could potentially come with and she didn't want the feelings she had for him to get any deeper. Bambi was trying to spare herself from heart break at any cost.

They arrived to campus just minutes before they had to get to class, saying goodbye they went their separate ways agreeing to meet up for lunch as always. Bambi felt anxious about seeing Nate and she was trying to keep a panic attack at bay.

By the time she got to class Professor Wright was already greeting the class "Bambi nice to see you" he said making everyone look at her. Her name was only one of the few he actually knew and she hated it.

"Same to you" she said and found a seat on the other side of the classroom furthest from Nate who had been watching her since she had walked in.

He could already sense her change in attitude and he knew what it was about. And for once, Nate didn't know how he would handle the situation.

Class for both Nate and Bambi dragged on longer than it usually did. Professor Wright's lecture had become scrambled in Bambi's head and she found herself scrolling through Pinterest looking at potential outfit ideas.

"Ten-page paper due next week class, don't forget. Have a good day" Bambi was the first one up and out of the class. She was halfway down the hallway when Nate's hadn't caught her arm. He turned her around so that they were facing each other.

"You need something?" she looked down at his hand that was still holding onto her arm sending an obvious.

"My fault" Nate said letting her go.

"What do you want?"

"You know we need to talk"

"No we don't, I'm good on you Nate. I know we are just friends but that shit you pulled was completely disrespectful and I won't deal with it. Have a nice ass day" she didn't even give him a chance to respond before she walked away and out of the building.

"Was Nate in class?" Bria asked as soon as they met up.

"Sure was I told his ass I was didn't want anything to do with him."

"That's right girl at least one of us has some backbone" Bambi stopped dead in her tracks and stared at her best friend.

"Bria you could have waited a week at least. Not two days, you should have let that nigga sweat."

"I couldn't help myself" Bria already feeling stupid for taking him back so quickly.

"Whatever its your life. If you like it, I love it" Bambi walked past Bria and headed for Starbucks.
