I push jaheem from off of me "WHY
WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR?"
"I miss you"
"AND...YOU DON'T FUCKING DO
THAT SHI..."
"Ok, ok please stop yelling,
somebody's gonna come up here" I
paused and thought for a second
about what I was actually doing
"Fine i'll stop yelling but get out my
house right now and do not come
back!" I pushed out the room telling
him in a stage whisper. Slamming the
door behind him I fall onto my bed
crying. Why did he have to come
back why couldn't he just stay where
he was it would be so much easier. I
wanted to forget him. I wanted him
gone forever.
**************************
"Tamra!"
"Yes" I shout jumping up from my
slumber, there was a bright light
coming in through my windows
"Hurry up and get ready you have
school"
"Okay" I rush to get ready seeing as I
had to leave in 15 minutes. Taking a
quick shower and finding my outfit I
ran downstairs looking for my bag,
almost tripping over it in the hallway
"oh there it is", I picked it up and
went to the door, seeing my mother
in the kitchen grabbing her coffee,
together we walked to the car.
She always insists on driving
me to school even though it has
always been within walking distance.
But it's nice so I don't complain.
"Have a good day, ok sweetie?"
"Yes mom."
"Oh and jaheem is bringing his mom
to dinner tonight. Itll be great
seeing her again. "
"Okay"
I went into the school but I was heated. And he is the one to blame.
************************
I walked into my first period AP
computer science class and saw that
the class was almost filled. Sitting
down in the back corner I put my
stuff in the chair next to me as
always. There was always a few extra
seats in the classroom and people
realized that sitting next to me was
not the smartest of ideas, so I always
had my own little space. That
is....until HE walked in.
* mental heavy sigh *
I watch as he walks with a smirk on
his face and sits next to me, moving
my belongings to the chair in front of
me. I turn away from him looking at
the teacher with a look that would
make the dead shiver.
"Mr. Henshaw c-could you please sit
up here next to melissa? Sorry for the
inconvenience but all new students sit
in the front of the class for the first 3
months after there transfer."
"No problem." He flashed the teacher
a quick smile, that and his deep
accent brings a soft rose blush the
teachers face. 🙄.
Great his first day here and he's
already trying to flirt with anyone.
It never ends does it. The rest of class
spent with jaheem getting to know
every girl in the room....including the
teacher. While I finished up my work
and went to sleep.
**************************
School is almost over and I am not
looking forward to seeing jaheem and
his mother at dinner tonight. I
wonder can I make a valid excuse to
miss dinner?
"What's got you so deep in thought,
huh?"
"Why are talking to me?"
"Because freedom of speech"
"What do you want?"
"What you thinking 'bout? "
"So you have no reason for talking to
me?"
"Well I'm trying to make conversation
clearly"
"So I'm gonna go now" I turn around
to walk to my last class when I feel his
hand grab my arm.
"Let go of me right now"
"No. What you gonna do about it?"
"And you say you do nothing wrong.
If you dont let go of me in the next 5
seconds I will show you exactly what
I'm gonna do about it"
"Try me" his hand squeezes tighter
around my arm most likely leaving
Mark's now"
"Fine" within a second I elbow him in
the face, snatch my arms out if his
hand and continue on my way leaving
him holding his eye in the middle of
the hallway while people gawked at
him.
**********************
Class finishes finally I pack up my stiff and make my way towards my locker.
"Hey stranger!"
"Hey Angela"
"Girl where you been yesterday?"
"Did you see the new kid?"
"Oh...yeah, girl what he doing back
here?"
"He said his mom didn't like the
people over there"
"Has he tried talking to you?"
"Yup. And apparently him and his
mother are coming over to my house
for dinner" I finish gathering my stuff
and we start walking to my house.
"What! Are you serious?"
"Mhmm and he just came over
yesterday, I made it perfectly clear I
didn't want to see him. But he keeps
popping up"
"But I dont understand why you
wouldn't want to see me." Speak of
the devil. We paise turning around to
face him
"You have some nerve jaheem talking
to her after everything you've done!"
"Tamra you should put your little
doggy on a leash"
"Its not worth it Angela let's go"
"Hey....I'll see you tonight! At dinner!"
"Tamra you know you need to tell
your parents eventually"
"I haven't told them for the past 4
years, I'll be fine."
"If your not I got your back"
"Of course"
"Always. Now let's get to your house I
need to raid your fridge" we laugh
walking to my house to get food and
study some before my parents get
home.
*******************
I sit in my room staring at the ceiling
with my music blasting into my ears.
Angela left 2 hours ago and now I'm
just waiting for this wretched dinner
to start and be over with. I dont want
to look at him for any longer than I
need to.
The thought of him makes my blood
boil. It's been years since I've thought
of him and what he did 4 years ago.
************************
"Tamra!! Come here the henshaws are
here"
"Coming mom!" This was going to be
interesting.
