Love After All ? (Keith Powers)

The Beginning...

I'm Selym.. Selym Carter. Yeah awkward name, I get it a lot but hey its different ... I was born and still being raised in Brooklyn, New York. I'm currently 17. A SENIOR ! My mom passed when I was 6 , I've been the saddest person since. Not only to mention turning 9 my father passed away as well.. Been in foster care since too. Well here goes my story.

- Selym's POV -

First days of school get pretty hectic. Along with all the girls getting ready for school, jibbering and jabbering . We all get pretty geeked, but I'm more geeked ! Last year of school, oh word! Enough of that, I was dressed in something comfortable, yet cute (in media). I dashed for the double doors to say bye to a few of my favorite people. I darted out the door heading for the bus stop. It was important for me to NEVER miss the bus. As the bus approaches, I was scrolling on my iPhone, when these girls from somewhere came giggling and whispering behind me. It takes a lot to piss me off, so I shrugged it off. I got onto the bus I sat down, noticing the boy I've been crushing on for quiet a long time. He was a bad boy type, and see me I'm kinda nerdy and a goodie two shoes. So ever having him will never ever happen...

*At School*

I attend the worst school that could ever be built Millcrest High. Friends only come in one with me. My best friend Ra'Shunda. Ghetto girl with a big heart. You would never think we were friends.

"Sel bitcccch," she yelled from down the hall. I shook my head laughing.

"Can you not scream again like that, I'm just right here."

"I know but it's the first day of school hoe like come on !" She said jittery.

I know I know first day of school was a big deal earlier, but when I finally got here I realized how much I hate 'this' school. Crazy.

"Eh, I'm not really excited." I said covering my face.

I could hear her inhale and exhale. She been taking classes to control herself, she crazy as hell basically.

"Ok, I'm just gonna' pretend you ain't say that shit, now let's go get our schedule's!" she said grabbing my hand.

***minutes , MANY MINUTES later***

Shunda and I finally received our schedules , discovering we only took two classes together. The pain was real. We didn't take 1st period together, we could've had 1st period together! But we had went our separate ways. I had Mr.Conley, and let me tell you. Mr.Conley is so sexy. Here's the problem though, if asshole was a person. It'd be him. He literally gives no fuck in the world. He's just HORRIBLE.

I walked in the class to see people I've seen before, nothing new. I took my seat in the back. Just because I'm a goodie goodie doesn't mean I like the front seats. I dodge that stereotype. I placed my bag on the desk grabbing my ear buds out, so I could block this noise. Not even finding a song in the corner of my eye I saw my crush, the love of my life, and boy of my DREAMS. Keith. Agh, Queen of Dramatic.

I try not to act weird because I get like that. As he walks in he dabs some of his friends, and says hey to a couple of girls. I only wish was me though. He continues to walk to the back where I am, and sits next to me. Then he speaks.

"You don't mind me sitting here do you ?"

Words couldn't form,my mouth wouldn't let me. So I just shook my head smiling. He giggled a little.

"You seem funny girl, what's yo' name ?" He spoke again.

I squealed in my mind , "THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!"

I responded slightly, " Selym."

He seemed taken back, "never heard that before, that's real pretty for a pretty girl."
