The Color of My Skin (A Princeton Love Story)

Total Surprises

Mya P.O.V.

Jade must have heard us say her name because she looked at us and began to walk towards us.

"What's she doing here?", I whispered to Jacob.

"I don't know.", he replied.

She continued to walk when I actually had a good look at her. She was wearing uniform.

"Hello niggers. Long time no see.", she said when she was in front of us.

"You work here?", I asked ignoring her comment.

"Yes I do. I got a job yesterday after Justin and I were fucking.", she said smirking.

I laughed.

"Cool. How was it? Oh Jade you haven't changed a bit. I remember saying that it was his loss and I don't care anymore so you can bring up the subject anytime you want.", I said.

Jade looked down.

"Whatever.", she said.

There was an awkward silence.

"Soo....", I said.

"Mya I'm sorry.", she burst out. I even felt spit fly from her mouth. I wiped it off.

"Excuse me?", I said.

"Oh don't make me say it again.", she said.

"No. I didn't hear you.", I said shocked.

"I said I'm sorry. Everyone isn't talking to me now and I can't go back to school. Justin isn't going back either. I know how you feel now. I'm sorry.", she said.

I didn't know what to say. I didn't care if she was sorry because she didn't understand.

"It's gonna take a lot more than sorry Jade. And-

"I know. I know", she interrupted, "I know I've been a bitch and-

I cut her off. "It's more than being a bitch Jade. It's only been a week for you. I had to suffer through half my Freshman year and-

"I know Mya. I know how you feel-

"Stop interrupting me and let me finish.", I said annoyed, "Now like I was saying. It takes a lot more than apologies to take back everything you said about me and Jacob. But since I'm not you and since I'm a nice person I'll forgive you but I will never forget what you did to me."

"Thanks", she said, "Well uh I gotta go now."

"Yea we do too. So bye.", I got up with Jacob and we departed.

"Your a good person.", he said.

"You know how I do.", I said popping my imaginary collar.

.

"I'm borrred ", I said for the fifth time.

"Well what do you expect. Your just lying in bed.", Jacob said shrugging.

"We have nothing to do.", I complained.

Jacob shrugged.

"Well stay bored."

I sat up so quick and raised my eyebrow at Jacob.

"Listen boy. I don't care if your turning 16 next week. Don't sass me.", I said while grinning.

He laughed.

"Or what? You'll seduce me?", he said laughing.

"I don't know. Maybe I should.", I said seductively.

"I was only joking.", he said.

"What? Your scared?", I said staring at him intensely.

I stared at him for a while until we both burst out laughing.

I laid back down next to him.

"I'm borred.", I said again just to annoy him.

Before I could react he climbed on top of me.

"J-Jacob Wh-

Before I could finish my sentence he kissed me passionately. I didn't know how to react because it was so sudden. He forced his tongue in like he's been wanting this for a long time. He released after a couple of minutes. I was breathing hard.

"Can you get off me please?", I whispered.

He got off.

"Sorry it's just that-

I cut him off. "I-It's ok. Lets just not talk of this please....ever."

I turned around and fell asleep.

Jacob P.O.V.

I laid there in shock. When I heard her steady breathing I knew she was asleep. I just couldn't believe what she said. Was the kiss that bad? She said not to speak of it again. Did she really not like me that much? I thought we had something special. I actually thought she liked me. I guess I was wrong. Why would she like me? And to think I thought she loved me. Because truth was....I loved her.
