Wow! A big step he's taking in the hallway. He started to slide his hand down across my chest, down my torso, to my waist, slowly moving his hand to the rim of my shorts.
"What are you doing, sir?" I said between laughs.
His hands went inside my shorts, I grabbed his hand so fast. There was like a sad puppy look on his face.
"What's wrong? I thought you was ready, this is exactly what had happened the last time."he said. Sounded like he was getting upset or angry or something.
"I know but, do you really it's the time and place to do that here? I mean be serious."
"You're right. Does later sound better?"
"I'm honestly not ready, I just want to focus on finishing school."
"Yeah, I feel the same way."I could tell that was a lie.
"I'm so stupid. I'm so sorry."he said.
"It's okay, don't beat yourself up about it. Gym starts in a few, you should get changed and go."
"Yeah, see you partner." we're doing this 'partner' thing again, really?
I just need to focus and maintain myself for college. School is almost out and I don't know where I'm going. A lot of choices, just a lot of responsibilities with them.
I went into gym and there was Jay, with no shirt on, playing basketball. He's such a handsome guy. The good part is we have a sub, meaning, no partner activities.
Nosey me, looking around the gym, I saw Ashley sitting there alone. I took that chance to go talk to her lonely ass.
"Hey Ash, what's up?"
"Nothing."yeah, there's something wrong.
"Come on, it's Virgin Mary here. What's wrong?"
"Why didn't Tymirr ask me to the dance?"
"Just give him a chance."
"Is it because I'm pregnant? Gullible? Condescending?"
"Woah there, where is all this coming from?"
"Life."
"We'll get through this together. Trust me."
"Promise?"
"You know I don't trust a promise unless it's a pinky promise."
We locked pinkies and just talked about madness the whole period.
"Alright future mama, it's time we change these clothes and head to your house."
"I think my mom coming to get me."
"Tell her I'll take you home, I wanted to stop and get a smoothies."
"Smoothies? Here I come?"Ash ran to the locker room.
I changed my clothes and started walking to my locker. Out of nowhere someone was pulling me back. Of course it was Jay.
"Hey mama's boy."
"Hey Mama."
"Ew, your sweaty."
He tried to put his sweat on me. Like he was literally picking a fight on wiping sweat.
"Boy! Get your sweaty ass off of me."
"Watch it Ms.Moore." Great. The principal heard me.
"Ha-ha." he thought it was funny. I kicked him right in his ass.
"Can I get a kiss?"
I gave him a peck on the lips which turned into more kissing, even more kissing. At this point, I don't care who's watching. Finally, we took a break for some air. I took that as a chance to open my locker. The locker door flung open, a rose and letter dropped. It read,
"Open at home.. "
I'm opening this at home for sure.
"I got to get going miss."
"Bye, ain't nobody stopping you."
"Yeah, okay."
We kissed one last time and he left.
"I saw you and Mr. Badboy over there making out, you giving him some cookies?"
"Uh, no, not yet."
"Smoothie time." she pulled my arm and ran to my car. She's always down for a smoothie or any treat period.
We ordered two smoothies. I had strawberries with bananas and she had peach with mangos. It was pretty good. Hanging out with her feel like I can let my hair down.
Time check, it was time to go. Time really flies by when your actually having fun.
We arrived to her house, still looks the same as before. Her mom wasn't here, that sucks.
"Hey, want to see something?"
"Sure."
We went to her room and she went to this secret hidden door, there was a gigantic book inside.
"You sure you want to see?"she sounded as if this could mean something to me.
"Yeah, what is it?"
The first page had said, 'Memories'. Memories about what? She flipped to the second page and it had my name on it. She kept flipping through the pictures and it was me, my mom, and I'm guessing my dad.
"How did you get these?"
"I keep a lot of memories, even though my mom had them for so long. She said someone dropped it off one day and she kept it ever since."
I have to say, my dad was a good looking man. Looking at these pictures made me regret a lot. I've talked and talked about having privacy for so long but, I didn't expect it to come so soon.
"Thanks for showing me this."
"Anytime."
"Yeah, let us get this party started and I hope Jay don't try to find me."
"Why you say that? He stalking you?"a confusing look was presented on her face.
"Girl, no. It's just that he comes to my window at night."
"Welp."
~week later~
The week past, guess it's time to head home. I left Ashley and headed home. On my phone were several miss calls from the lady I call mother. What could she possibly want?
Home sweet miserably home, it's not even my home anymore.
"Crystal? Where have you been? I was worried sick."
"I spent the week at a friend's house."
"Without confirming it with me?"
"Listen, you haven't been there for me. My friend was, you just popped out of nowhere."
I didn't realize what I was saying.
"Excuse me?"
"Don't act innocent right now. I'm about to leave for college soon, all you did was be in my life for a second. You left me stranded because you was scared. Seemed like you already had forgotten me be-" I was cutoff by her.
"Crystal!"
"Don't cut my off Diana, you left me. You let Dad die, you created a new family. You didn't even care to check on me through the years!"
"That's not true!"here comes the water works.
"That is the truth and you know it! You just think you can come and run things! Moving into my house, giving out bullshit rules!"
*SMACK*
She smacked me, across my face.
"And how can I forget, abuse." I was rubbing my face.
She pushed me, kicked me, slapped me a few times and I did nothing. I sat there lifelessly. I waited until I got the strength to get up and go to my room. I just laid in bed thinking. Icing my pain that will turn into bruises. I wished she was dead instead of my dad. Rest up Dad.
