Chapter 2: A Change
"Mrs.Jenkins you have to move my seat. Please I can't take it!!" I whined.
I was sitting after 5th period with Mrs. J. It's been 3 weeks since the first day of school and since Jeremiah my archenemy was placed next to me in our 5th period class. He has poked and pinched and annoyed the mess out of me since day 1. I've walked out of class, screamed, cussed and done everything in my power to get the message through to Jeremiah to leave me alone but he doesn't listen!! Day after day he just ugh!
"I'm sorry Daesha. But your the only one who can handle his a- I mean butt." She said with a laugh.
"But it's killing me." I say beginning to laugh also. " But I guess I can stick it out just because your my favorite teacher."
"Thank you sweetie now go on before your late." She said.
A couple more days pass with the same routine. Then one day he comes in without a word. He sits down and puts his head down. This happens for a couple days. And it started to worry me. I had been to a few games and he hasn't been playing. So against all of what I know to be good and true. I tap him and ask him what's wrong.
"Hey, Jeremiah. What's wrong? You've been acting strange. Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about the silence but what's wrong?" I say.
"Oh. Yeah. Uh it's nothing." He said
"I know good and well something is wrong with you." I say.
"Fine. My girlfriend shit my EX girlfriend cheated on me with my EX best friend. So I confronted him and we got in a fight in the locker rooms and then Coach came in and he suspended me from playing. I lost everything I ever cared about. My game and girl and friend." He said bitterly.
"Woah woah woah are you saying your in this pissy mood because of a girl? Ok 1st of all what do you think was gunna happen in a year when high school is over? This ain't The Game! Ain't nobody bout to give up their life to follow you to wherever you want to go to college. Y'all would have broken up anyways. And 2, the coach HAS to put you back in because our team is shit without you. And 3, if your friend betrayed you he wasn't your friend in the first place. So yeah. You only live once so stop sweating the little stuff." I said contently.
"You know what. Your right." He said.
"I know I'm right I'm Daesha. I'm always right." I said.
He laughs "I guess you are" and he pokes me.
"Oh hell no. DONT TOUCH ME!!!!!" I say.
He laughs and I laugh.
The bell rings and i stand up and gather my stuff and start to leave.
"Dae! Thanks." He says
"Don't mention it. Seriously if you do I will kill you." I say
"I gotchu lowkey" he says and winks and laughs.
"Not even boy!" I call after him.
No I don't like him. Don't even say I do. No. No. No.
