My Story: Kelly

Chapter 13

Kelly Brown-Williams 1993
October ~

'Wait a minute!' Nick came sliding in front of me, stopping me from entering the English classroom

'Move out of my way nigga!' I laughed

We are cool now, but I won't forget what he did to Kayla......

'Yo Shawty, give me a chance' he showed of his beautiful smile

'I told you my name is Kelly!' I playfully rolled my eyes

'Nah, I like messing with you' he said

'Whatever' I tried to get through but he wouldn't budge

'Nigga!' I tilted my head

'Just hear me out' He got closer to me

'Okay then' I felt gushy inside

'You free after school on Friday?' He asked

'Wait-' I took a step back 'Are you asking me out?'

'Kind of.....me and the boys are having this lil party and I want you to come' he said

'Oh Really?' I put emphasises on the last word

'Yeah, it would be Way better if you were there' he said

'Hmm.....I'll come' I said 'you gone invite my girl Kayla though' I asked

'Kayla?' He questioned himself 'like she's you know.....'

'She's what?' I was confused

'You know, she's just a little big' he said

'And that's a problem to you so she can't come' I assumed 'Alright then, I ain't bringing her round y'all, where y'all not going to make her feel welcome so I ain't coming' I stepped further back than before

'Kelly, you know I'm just playing, she can come' he started talking

'No!' I said as one of my eyebrows rose

Not being one of those fake friends that lets their girl be shit on.

'Jackson......Williams.....get into class' Mrs Coleman told us calmly

I walked into the classroom, and as per usual, Ashley was spreading her STD's to DeVante. It's sad to see your ex with a girl that has such a disease and he can't see that because he's whipped.....well that his problem.

'AYE!' Mrs Coleman started clapping out of nowhere 'GET TO YOUR DAMN SEAT ASHLEY!'

Please can she just stay back there......

'Hey Kelly' Ashley randomly said as she sat in her seat, leaving me with a confused look on my face

'How about a little bit of writing for a start' Mrs Coleman suggested 'I'll give y'all twenty minutes to write about how you feel and why do you feel like that. Your feelings can be written as a story, a poem.....whatever you feel like doing'

As the papers were being handed out, I turned around in my chair just to take a quick glimpse of DeVante as he sat calmly in his seat with his legs opened as one stretched out further than the other as he was slouched in his seat.

'DeVante sit up straight' Mrs Coleman told him 'You ain't at home!'

'Yo Kelly' someone tapped my shoulder to get my attention as they passed me this note

'I'm really sorry!

Nick

P.s. I would do smiley faces and shit but I don't get down like that'

'Yeah Whatever' I said to myself as I laughed, turning around to see his reaction which was a smile

'You know, people that talk to themselves are crazy' Ashley's voice echoed into my ears

'Just fuck off man' I thought to myself

I got my pen from out of my pencil case and started jotting down ideas, anything I could think of......well, whatever the fuck I'm writing about, which reminds me, I need to start writing back to Nina.

I started to think about the first day at this school, the first time seeing DeVante since 92 which was the last time I saw him. I've always wondered to myself, What if.....he didn't bump into me and Kimberly like that? What if......he didn't give me an unreadable expression? What if......he was happy to see me again?

Like imagine if that same situation ended up positive......

We were turning the other way as we walked past the Sports hall. Some boy must've been running too hard because I couldn't even see him coming with a blink of an eye.

'YO DEVANTE WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING NEXT TIME!' Kimberly shouted as my heart stopped

'DeVante?' I questioned in shock and confusion

'Yes I'm De- O My god' his hazel eyes met up with mine

You know when you've finally found someone that you haven't seen in a long time, your heart melts with joy awaiting for your embrace and shed happy tears with each other?......his eyes were telling me exactly this feeling I felt.

I would be able to realise the colour of his eyes when he was angry, they would turn black. When he was happy, they would turn green and when he's himself, they are hazel. They were much brighter than usual, causing his eyes to twinkle. It was like all of his problems was solved when he saw me.

'DeVan-' before I could say anything else because I knew I had a lot of explaining to do, he ran up embracing me into a tight hug

'Where the fuck have you been?!' He spoke as if he was worried and happy at the same time, pecking at my lips repeatedly

'Looking for you.....' I spoke, chocking on my words

Just Imagine........
