"do you still talk to diane and trayron?" her mother asked while they were having dinner that night
kim swallowed a piece of her mother's chicken before answering, "it's diana and trayvon, mom."
mother waved it off, shrugging "oh. well i apologize for trayvon because i actually liked that boy" her mother snorted, taking a bite of chicken "diana on the other hand..."
kim rolled her eyes "she was and still isn't a bad influence, mom" kim slumped in her seat "if anything; trayvon caused me heartbreak, di never hurt me or threatened my safety."
mom gave her a look that said that she disagreed but moved on, "whatever." and the rest of the dinner was about school and her mother's work
kim went up to her room in hopes to finish up some homework but instead she was dancing around her room to some throwback songs,
"whatcha know bout me?"
"whatcha-whatcha know bout me?"
"whatcha know about me?"
"whatcha-whatcha ya know?"
"i said my lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool, all the boys keep jockin, they chase me after school—!"
"kimberly, keep it down!" her mother yelled from right across her room, "it's midnight!"
it was actually 9:30 but her mom was just exaggerating to be dramatic.
kim turned off her music before attempting to focus back on her homework
but felt something watching her
kim turned around quickly and saw the boy who couldn't seem to escape her mind
"it's you" she lets out shocked
he smiled at her amused but said nothing
"ahh!"
kim broke into a run for the door and closed it behind her, leaning against it as her breathing slowed
she turned around and stared at her door for a few seconds before she cautiously turned the knob and opened the door slowly, her hands shaky
her brown eyes met his blue ones as they both stood right in front of the doorway on opposite sides.
when the door was fully opened they stood in front of each other, her eyes wide with shock and his narrowed as he laughed
he was beautiful.
"who are you? are you real?" kim asked, her voice wavering
the god-like boy separated his lips to speak his poetry but her mother opened her own bedroom door to see what was going on before he could; prompting kim to turn around and face her mother
"kimberly—"
kim started to panic, "mom this isn't what it looks like, i don't even know who he is!" kim motioned to what was behind her without turning her head
her mother's eyes shifted to look behind her daughter before giving kimberly a look, "i don't have time for your games, kimberly"
kim whipped her head around to see nothing and nobody inside her bedroom, that bastard
"hello? earth to kimber—"
"you know what? sorry mom, i thought i saw a cockroach but it was just my imagination—bye now!" kimberly walked in her room hurriedly before shutting the door of her bedroom to avoid her mother's speech
there was a slow, mocking clap behind her that made her roll her eyes
"that was bullshit acting" his voice was as smooth as honey despite the insult
kimberly glared when she turned around to face him nonetheless, "well i didn't see you coming in to save my acting skills, white boy."
the boy chuckled softly at kim's apparent aggravation
"nice to know that your anger can get in the way of your curiosity"
kimberly furrowed her eyebrows, feeling confused and slightly offended
" you don't know what or who i am, yet you're speaking to me like you've known me forever because you're angry at me" he explained, reading her face
kim put her hands on her hips and glared at him harder, both of them on opposite sides of her room
"well i tried to ask but you chose to ignore me" kim started to lose confidence but damn well made sure she didn't show it "now who the hell are you?"
the boy had a smile slowly creep on his soft lips "leo"
she remembered the name on her fogged mirror and shuddered
she felt so intoxicated suddenly by his presence
kim shook the thought out her head "how did you get into my house?"
leo shrugged, his blue eyes roaming around the room. "i was always here"
kim blinked once and said something she thought to be absurd "are you a ghost?"
the question evidently threw the blue eyed boy off
he watched her as she approached him slowly
neither of them saying a word,
until she reached out her hand towards his arm
"kimberly," he warns
her hand then went right through his arm. her brown eyes widen in horror.
