Staggered Lanes

S.L (CHAPPIE 1)

There's usually a lot of perks to transferring to a high school out of your area, but mines, has a plate full of downfall. It is in the vicinity of my father's home and church so my mother decided that I am going to live with my dad. That should be easy because he spends most of his time in a office managing church files. The hard part would be me having to be in the church all the time, I have no problem with being there but it has limits. I sang in the choir as a kid, when my mother and I lived here in Queens with my dad a few years ago, but it's much different now; clubs and dance studios everywhere. I'm not sure how i'll make it here because i have to keep the reputation of the "Pastor's Daughter" an m-

"Brielle are you even listening to me" my asked out of frustration. He's probably worried that I won't like it here, but say what, he should right? "Brielle Nariah Perez!" his voice was stern and his eyes were focused "yes dad I'm sorry I'm just tired" I simply stated. "We're here, now I had Nicky's mother decorate your room, your mother said you liked blue at 10" he looked at me matter-of-factly. "uuh yeah dad just let me unpack, btw dad I'm 15" he then looked at me like I was missing something "Brielle you know I'll always be at the office, either in church or around the block so I won't bother you but" he said with a slight hint of negotiation "but what father" "you have to rejoin the choir and come to church now Romello got some new chords so when you get settled you should meet him at the church preferably at 7" he said with authority, so had no choice but to obey. Romello is really handsome but he's like 3 years older than me; tall brown skin and he wears glasses but, I'm used to it. He was our guitarist for the church, but seeing that he was at church most of the times, dad would have me stay with him and learn something while he was out. His mother and my father were so close that it felt uncomfortable at times, mother once thought she was being played, it was all so organized because his dad left so my dad was his was always there for him and I don't think that changed.

When I was finished with my new chores, I organized myself and left for the church but there was one problem; I don't wear skirts or dresses, the last time I wore any was when I lived here so I had on a ¾ army pants, Marvin Gay hat, Last Kings jersey and a pair of Kd's on my feet. Thank God my dad wasn't here to see this, he'll flip out, "at least I'm  not wearing a shorts" I said out loud as I walked in the church's music room. Otherwise known as Romello's spot.

There he was, looking at me like a his a lost puppy "Brielle you're back ,oh I missed you so much" I was losing air due to his strength "I-I m-missedyouto" I said jumbled with my few air left "I'm sorry, you have no idea how happy I am to see you, so what's goin on?" if only he knew what's going on in my head, damn he didn't look handsome no more, he was sexy ,lord forgive me for using not so holy words but  wow "nothing much, I'm fine" "yes you are" he said checking me out, I could tell things won't be the same between us, but I'm going to enjoy this as much as I could "what?" I acted confused. "Nothing" he said in a quick breath then continued "So what you did to get expelled :)Bribell:)" ...Oh how I love when he calls me that.."well I guess my father should have told you that too huh?" I said being smart "Well? What you did" he was focused on getting his answer "Hmm persistence, I like it.... Well, I almost beat a girl to death, not much tho: broken arm, fractured skull, broken nose" I shuddered at the fact missing, I want that girl dead! And Romello's brain went dead for a while "girl what you wanna be, a criminal, I didn't know you get down like that, what did she do to you" he asked still shocked "she sabotaged my chance of being in my school's defense group by messing with their computers, her father owns the school so she gets what she wants, so I had to let her know it's the same here" I was satisfied with my answer until Romello smirked at me "so you saying you go after what you want" he said that like there's something I'm supposed to catch so I threw one "yep, don't car what it is" his smirk then widened "what was that?"  If dad was to find out I'm hitting on Romello or the other way around, he might be afraid it could crash his dreams with Romello's mother Nicole, or as he calls her < Nicky. "How about letting me hear those new chords I came to hear and teach me" I said all plain "fine with me, but what exactly you want to learn "he said, and walked to pick up his guitar  and left me speechless. If only I could man up and tell him what I want him to teach me. "I see you still have a smart mouth ". "I see you haven't lost yours either" he said in defense

After 2 hours playing a few songs and singings along with him, we decided to take a break a talk. Romello's usual conversation would be about soccer, music or school. "It's getting late I should walk you home" he stated, as if I was his responsibility "yeah lets go". When I got to my dad's house he hugged me and left when I went inside. I just smiled at him because I was distracted by his scent; he smelled so good, a hint of apple and an unknown male perfume. This boy, well I can say man, has my hormones under stimulants. I feel intoxicated by his very presence and that's not the way it should be.
