We was sitting in class and Ronnie and My brother and of course Pete was behind both of them I couldn't stop thinking about his smile or get it out of my mind "Jasmine get yourself together" I told myself I didn't even bother to look up and make eye contact with my brother because I knew Ronnie was gonna to try to talk to me and that's all we need to add is a white student trying to talk to a negro student.

"Hey Jaz." I heard Pete say and me and Ronnie locked eyes and I turned my attention to Pete
"Hey Pete." I said
"Hey Jasmine.." Ronnie said
"Hey Ronnie..." I said lowly and avoided his eyes
I knew I couldn't talk to him while looking into those eyes I'll get lost and say stupid stuff. Why did he have this effect on me it was like when we look at each other slow music starts playing and it's only us and that's so cliché I don't even say stuff like that. While English went on I was too busy doodling Ronnie name on the bottom of my folder
"Hey Jaz... you going to the Titan first game tonight?" My best friend asked and looked down at my folder I covered up it
"Yeah." I said avoiding her eyes
"You got the hots for that vanilla brother." My friend said
I looked at her and laughed we walked down to the door until we was stopped by my brother and his friends
"Hey baby you coming to my game?" Petey said
I looked at him but Ronnie beat me to it
"Ya know Petey I'm new here but it doesn't seems she likes you that much." Ronnie said and I started laughing and so did everyone else
"Man sunshine what do you know?" Petey said I looked over at Ronnie and I swear I saw him wink at me I looked somewhere else so I wouldn't blush.
Me and my friend walked outside as she headed home I was stuck outside waiting for my brother to get out of practice and there he was with his blue eyes. Ronnie Bass waiting to cause trouble. He knows we aren't suppose to be together alone let alone talking what would his people thing what would My people thing... ugh my mind is even segregated.
"Hey Jaz." I heard him say but didn't pay him no attention I couldn't risk my reputation being tanked because he wanted to talk to me
"Jaz I know you hear me... lucky for you I'm out of practice because I'm second string quarterback... meaning your brother in there for another hour." He said and I knew he was smiling I heard the chuckle leave his lips.
I sighed and continued to look down at my shoes hoping someone would save me or at least walk past interrupting our conversation.
"You don't talk much or.... is it you don't want your friends to see me talking to you because I'm white." He said lowly
"I don't care what people think." I said lowly so he wouldn't be able to hear me but he did
"If you don't then face me and have a conversation with me." He said
"No... your people always get what they want... to embarrass people like me people with my skin color... it sends a thrill through y'all blood." I said getting heated
"We don't...and I'm nothing like them.. you mean people like ray who plays football with colored people and still can't face the facts that nothing was the same." He said standing in front of me
"What are you saying you don't see color?" I asked
"Yes I don't see color I see people with beautiful souls or terrible souls." He said sticking his hands in his back pocket
"Your lying.... your like every other white guy you wanna see if a black girl is what every white guy say she is angry and mean and ghetto." I said turning my head away from him
He turned my head back facing his and whispered
"I'm not like them nor am I pretending to do anything I don't want too." He whispered
My breath started to get heavy as I looked into his blue eyes and saw he was telling the truth his eyes gazed at my lips and back to my brown eyes I said something I probably should've been saying...
"Prove it..." I whispered
With that he kissed my lips but it wasn't a hurried rushed kissed it was more of sweet soft passionate kiss like it was something he wanted to do for a long time like we had known each other for forever. I dropped my books and I kissed him back and placed my hands on the side of his face at this moment I didn't think about black or white just him and me in this moment until we realize that we were outside. We pulled away and he helped me with my books.
"Umm." I said tucking my hair behind my eye
"Meet me behind the bleachers before the game tonight." He said kissing my cheek and leaving I stood there numb about what just happened
"Hey sis you ready to go." I heard my brother say
"Yeah lets go." I said lowly looking back at Sunshine walking in the opposite direction
