Raea is an intelligent black girl with a confusion of love, lust, and infatuation. High School hasn't been "fun" for her, but things change this year. Her Junior year. She will figure it out for herself, hopefully. Things will grow and unravel as we...
As I'm walking to the parking lot with Marcel, I see someone, in my peripheral view, walking full speed towards us. I turn and I see Armelo. I start to walk faster, almost sprinting. Marcel yells after me but I keep going. I turn and see Armelo running also. I mentally slap myself and I start running faster. I really don't want to talk to him. He found my Instagram last night. After I told him to lose my number.
Marcel and Armelo catch up with me. I look at Armelo with a bothered face. He smirks and says, "Why you running from me Raeaaa Selina." I roll my eyes hard and I proceed to get in my car. If I pretend he's invisible, maybe he'll leave. I put my stuff in the back and I turn to see him still standing there smiling. I turn to Marcel, who is confused by my actions. "Get in so I can take you to get your car," I say a bit irritated.
Marcel gets in and as I am trying to open the driver's door, Armelo closes it and stands in front of it. I look at him crazy and I give him a "nigga what?" look. "Let me talk to you real quick, please?" he asks, practically pleading. I guess I'll hear him out but as soon as I hear one ounce of bullshit; I'm out. I step off to the side away from my car and I look at him waiting.
He steps near me and starts talking. "I wasn't tryna be rude, I've just had a crush on you for a long time. So in my head your mines, I create random scenarios of us being together. Which makes it feel like you already mine. Let's hang out later so i can prove it to you please Raea?" he says looking down at me. I stare at him blankly. Should I?
I mentally slap myself for what I'm about to say."Okay just text me where and ill meet you there, " I say walking back to my car and I get in cranking it up. I glance over to see Marcel eyeing me. I don't feel like hearing it right now. I pull out of the parking lot and I drive to the mechanic place.
As we get closer, Marcel finally speaks up. "What was y'all talking about ?" he asks looking over at me. I shrug and simply say nothing completely not acknowledging the conversation I had earlier. He shakes his head. We've been friends for like 4 days, he gotta give me time to open up to him completely. Even about small things like this.
Once I drop Marcel off I drive home and shower. I hope Armelo don't try to kidnap me, I got shit to do. I decide to use my favorite winter scented body set "Twisted Peppermint". The body wash, lotion and perfume. I check the day and I realize I need to wash my hair, so I grab my shampoo and conditioner. I know, I'm doing the most, but I want to smell good when he and I meet up.
As I'm finishing my shower I hear my phone ring, I reach out of the shower door and press answer without looking. "Hello?" I say loud enough for then to hear. "What part of Windsory do you live in? Ima come pick you up," I hear Armelo ask from the other end of the phone call. Bruh, I don't even stay in Windsory. Like I mentioned, I stay in the county beside it.
"I don't live in Windsory, I live in Brawston, " I admit. I mentally slap myself. I don't understand why we couldn't meet up, as I said earlier. "Oh... Well send me your address then, " he responds in a confused tone. I hang up and I tell Siri to send him my address.
As I'm putting my last shoe on, I get a text from Armelo telling me he outside. I spray myself with some perfume and I look in the mirror.
