Let Me Love You

School (part 2)

As I was sitting and eating, a shadow appeared over me. I looked up to see the same group of guys from earlier. They all took a seat around me and the dude who started it all spoke up.....

??- Hey
K- Hi?
??- Thought you could use the company
K- I was fine actually, love, but thanks for the thought

Another guy spoke up.....

???- Damn, you're a feisty one
K- I guess
??- Why so sassy
K- I mean, y'all made those other guys leave me alone because they were harassing me but then y'all come sit with me and talk to me just like they were
??- Nah this is different ma
K- Firstly, don't call me ma and secondly, how so
??- We're tryna be your friends not gang rape you like those other weak ass niggas
K- I see and your name is?
??- I'm Calvin. What's yours?

Just as he said that, the bell rang and I rose up, throwing my trash away and grabbing my belongings. They all gathered around me and I said....

K- I'm Kirsten and look, I already have an older brother who fills the over protective role, I really don't need anymore of that

With that, I walked off to my first class of the day.

In class.......

As I walked in the classroom, I made my way to my teacher and introduced myself before taking the first empty seat I saw. As I sat down, the one and only Calvin, made his way into class and took his seat right next to me. He looked over at me with a smile and I rolled my eyes, shaking my head and staring at my teacher, waiting for her to begin. My teacher spoke up......

MW- Hello all, I'm Mrs. Wright and this is Honors Calculus. We have a new student today and her name is Kirsten Andrew. Kirsten, would you introduce yourself?

I rose from my desk and spoke......

K- Hi everyone, I'm Kirsten

Some people nodded their heads at me while others just stared. I smiled and took a seat. Mrs. Wright began to teach the lesson for the day and I took my notes. As I was copying down everything she wrote on the board, a folded piece of paper fell on my desk. I picked it up and looked over to see Calvin smirking at me. I rolled my eyes and opened the paper. It said.....

Paper- Lunch?

I wrote back.....

K- Nope

I folded the paper back up and threw it back to Calvin. A few minutes later, the paper landed back on my desk. It said.....

Paper- Please?

I rolled my eyes again before writing.....

K- I'm good

I folded the paper back up and threw it back to him. As Mrs. Wright was finishing up the notes, the paper fell on my desk once again. It said....

Paper- Why you gotta be like that beautiful?

I wrote....

K- I'm not acting any type of way. I just don't know you and don't have any intentions of changing that

I folded the paper up and threw it back at him before copying the last of my notes. Mrs. Wright gave us our assignment and said we could work in partners or groups if we wanted to. Calvin quickly asked me.......

C- Can we pair up?
K- Sure why not

He moved his desk closer to mine and we began to work. After a few minutes, he spoke.....

C- So why can't I take you to lunch?
K- Because I don't know you and you don't know me
C- Let's change that
K- Don't want to
C- I do
K- Well it's a good thing you don't speak for both of us
C- Damn babygirl. That's how you feel?
K- Pretty much and I'm not your babygirl
C- You could be
K- I'm good but thanks though
C- Why you gotta be like that?
K - Be like what? Honest?
C- Nah
K- Then what?
C- You won't even give me a chance
K- Chance to do what?
C- Get to know you
K- Why do you want to get to know me so bad?
C- Because
K- Because what?
C- Because I can tell there's something special about you that draws me closer to you
K- (laughs lightly) Wow, I wonder how many poor females have fallen for that line
C- None, you're the first girl I've used it on
K- And how many girls has that one worked on? Seriously, what next? There's no other girl like me? Or maybe I'm the only girl who has your attention?
C- Damn, so I just sound like a cliche to you?
K- (smiles wide) Pretty much hun
C- Well then let me show you that I'm for real
K- Nah I'm good but I love the determination. It's kinda cute
C- So I'm cute?
K- Didn't say that but anyways I do believe we have work to get done
C-That's true
K- So let's get it done

I smiled at him and we both went back to work.
