Two Natures

Chapter 11

"Listen- what's your name again? " I wasn't sure whether or not he told me his name.

"Tamik." He said flashing me a grin.

"Right Tamik, I can't-"

"You don't have to say anything else, can we just be friends?" He stretched his hand towards me gesturing for a hand shake. I was surprised to say the least, I thought he would be like one of those ignorant guys.

"Of Course Tamik, there's nothing better than friendship." I grabbed his hand to shake it firmly. "So what did you get in for?"

" Does it matter? I'll be out soon anyways."

"Oh I get it, that embarrassing huh," I grinned at him while walking out of class.

"What, it wasnt!"

As we all know, I never pay attention in class but there are times when I do, today was not the day.

Sometimes people like to reflect on themselves, right now all I am doing is thinking about everything that came down to this moment.

And to be honest, I'm hella happy, I'm happy about everything that happened, well except the unfortunate death. But all of this gave me some insight on my life.

It's clearer. Like somehow now I have a purpose, now I've become self motivated and it makes me happy.

I guess being happy makes time go by faster or maybe it just normally goes that way.

But soon enough, I was out of detention. I was telling my crazy room mate goodbye and to hit me up every weekend.

And Tamik too, how could I forget. He's a dork.

I was hoping some heroic deeds would go down but it was quite boring with the security and I was kind of lazy to do anything, if anything would have happened.

The feeling of seeing someone you love after a long time is simply extraordinary. Especially when the person is in good shape, when they can finally smile without feeling threatened or when they can finally create the house of their dreams.

Its awesome, they can finally be who they want to be.

"Hey mom, I'm proud of you." I didn't see fear anymore, I saw a confident black woman that isn't afraid to speak her mind.

Now she walks like a queen.

"I'm proud of you too sweetie, you haven't even got yourself in trouble, Its good."

She smiled at me, I smiled back, because why not,  I feel like a changed person.

Maybe I have, maybe I haven't, maybe I found what was missing.

"And do you think I am what was missing?"

"Mira?"

"Of course Anna, who else could it be." Maybe it was a stupid question, she's the only one who would be in my head.

"Well to answer your question, I feel like my twin came back to me, I didn't get to meet her but," I sighed, it always felt weird talking about my twin. Well I always knew she's out there somewhere, in a good place. " I think I should tell you thank you."

"For what, didn't I caused you more problems than good?"

"Nah, It was alright, most of it though, you changed my perspective on a lot of things, so thank you."

"Well then you are most welcome." I could feel her smile as she said it, it felt like I was the one that was happy because her warmth was my warmth.
