Take A Look At Me Now

30 - Faith

Keisha

Its been 2 days since I put Marco in his place. Since then, I never saw him. I wonder what he is doing here.

Oh shit!

I just remembered they lived here and they went UK for business. Since we buried dad, I haven't been to school. This semester has been really bad. My grades are bad and I'm behind everything in school.

I don't even know anyone who would like to help me. Most teachers in that school are arrogant and weird. When you don't understand something and you let them know, they get mad and start talking rubbish.
All they do is talk and they never explain anything in the end.
Dad knew all about this and was planning to change my school when he had enough money.
But some pathetic ass nigga had to go crash into him.

I don't know how but I began to think about Marco. In the movie, kissing booth 2, I vaguely remember Noah's mum advising Elle, literally telling her to listen to what the other person has to say, no matter what.
I don't know but her words gave me that feeling to listen to what he has to say.

As I was thinking about him, my phone buzzed.

Thinking about the devil himself!

I had gotten a text from Marco, saying he was sorry and he wanted to talk. He wanted to explain himself.
I gave in and told him to meet me at a diner which isn't far from my house.

I got up from my bed, connected my phone to my speakers and played music.
Music is my everything! 😭❤

Thinkin' Bout You by Ciara was playing and I sang the lyrics out loud forgetting that my mum was home.

🎶 I've been thinkin' 'bout you
Wondering who's stuck in your head at night
Wonder if I ever cross your mind (Yeah)
Keeping you up in your bed at night (Ooh-ooh)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you (Uh)

I can't get you off the brain (No)
Loving you is something strange (So strange)
Don't get me wrong, I ain't complainin' (Nope)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you (I've been thinkin' 'bout you)
I'm wondering if your love's a game
Just kissing girls and taking names (Tell me)
Is it love or entertainment?

I've been thinkin' 'bout you (Ow)
Wondering who's stuck in your head at night
Wonder if I ever cross your mind
Keeping you up in your bed at night (Ooh-ooh)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you ('Bout, 'bout)
I try to fight it but it's hard to hide ('Bout, 'bout)
I've been thinkin' 'bout you, ooh-ooh
I've been thinkin' 'bout you, ooh-ooh
I've been thinkin' 'bout you (Yeah) 🎶

I stripped of my clothes, got into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.
I scrubbed myself. I washed all the dirt from yesterday.
I turned off the shower, grabbed my towel and got out of the bathroom.

I put lotion on my beautiful tan skin. I wore a black shirt with gray sweatpants.
My hair was wet so I sat under the fan till it was a little bit dry.

I combed it and pulled it up into a stunning ponytail.
My hair skills were getting better everyday.
I did my edges, sprayed some perfume, turned of my music along with the speakers and got out of my room.

There was a note on the dinner table.

Out for a while, take care
- mum

Okay. She is out.
I got out, locked the house behind me and got into my car.
I played some music to lighten up my mood.
I drove and drove till I got to the diner.
