Mercedes ***
We just danced. That was it.
" So why did you actually go to bootcamp? " I ask.
" It was that or 5 years in juvenile or jail. My mom thought that would teach me a lesson " he says.
" You and chucky are so much different. " he laughed.
" How? "
" He's a clown. Your just bad all together. But both you are always in trouble. He just thinks before. You don't " I say.
" I don't think before I act? "
" apparently not if you got your self in boot camp. " He laughed.
" I know what you saying but maybe I wasn't the reason I got sent. Maybe I went down for somebody else. "
" You got to take responsibility for your actions. And nope your not thinking if you going down for somebody else's bullshit " I say.
" What you just rat out yo people's then? " He asked.
" I don't go down for nobody else's dumb choices. If they was stupid enough to do some shit that would get them caught up they should pay the consequences. Not me for their poor choices " I say.
He smiled at me and pulled me closers with his hands on the side of my big pink puffy dress. It was the most beautiful dress I ever laid eyes on. So I got it.
" How smart of you. Next time I'm going to think of that "
" You better. I know Chucky was hurt when you left " I say.
" Was Chucky the only one? " he tease.
I laughed. " No comment "
" Whatever " He says. Chucky was dancing with some girl.
Prom wasn't looking to bad without you know who ...
But I couldn't lie ....
Deep down I missed him..
And I hated it. I needed to forget about him.
That's why I was ready for Dallas.
I needed this move...
