Two Worlds Same Minds

Latoya

I woke up to the annoying beeping sound of my alarm clock. I turned it off once I heard it, and pulled myself out of bed. I got in the shower, using my french vanilla soap that Aunt Duna made for me.

After brushing my teeth, washing my face, and putting on my acne ointment. I put on some denim destroyed baggy jeans, and timberlands, a crop top spaghetti straps, with a red and black plaid shirt, some black lipstick, foundation, and the cat eye.

I went downstairs, and ate some pancakes, bacon, and grits, with orange juice. Then I went back to the bathroom and brushed my teeth again.

I walked into the school and my best friend Sandy walked up to me.
" Hey! "

She hugged me. " Hey. "

" What are you wearing? " She asked.

" I'm not in the mood, for high waisted pants, heels, dresses, none of it. I want to dress normal yet differently. " I said.

" We planned that you would wear Maticevski Fluoro Mesh Synthesis Cropped Top, Acid Wash Distressed Denim Jeans, Tory Burch Robinson textured-leather tote, JIMMY CHOO 120mm Anouk Patent Leather Pumps, and Bling Jewelry Bamboo Beauty Hoops. "

" That's over one thousand four hundred dollars. " I said.

" Is that surprising you? " She asked.

" We wore a dress that cost more than that outfit. " She said.

" Look I don't want to grow up too fast. Plus I can wear those clothes anytime I want. " i shrugged.

" Your totally brainwashed. " She shook her head.

" Can you not except me for what I wear? " I asked.

" No I can. " She nodded.

" Good. " I said with much attitude.

I then walked away, and got my books from my locker went to the caf to meet with Alex.

I sat down next to him, and he pecked my lips.

" What you wearing babe? " He laughed.

" Clothes why? " I asked.

" I'm not used to you wearing clothes like that. I didn't even know you had clothes like that. " He said. Then he chuckled. " They're cheap. "

" This outfit cost over two hundred dollars. " I said.

" Cheap babe. " He said.

Now I was getting angry.

" If you can't accept me for the clothes I wear, then we're done. " I said.

" Aight. " He shrugged then some girl came and sat on his lap. My mouth dropped open, and I walked out the caf.

Then I started crying it wasn't sadness, It was anger. Then I walked to class, not caring about what others said as I walked the halls. I hated being popular. I hated it!

Everyone was asking if I was okay. Then I saw Carmelo and his friends. That's when I headed the other way. I couldn't let him see me crying. So I just walked out the building.

" Aye wassup girly what's wrong? " One of them said. He was really cute. Light skinned, with light brown amber eyes, pink lips, green braces, white teeth and pink gums, and he was tall. Then another one, he was brown skinned, with chocolate brown eyes, brown pink lips, his teeth were straight on top and crooked on the bottom, with they were white and he had pink gums too. But they weren't Carmelo.

I looked up and shook my head.

" Girl you crying. " One of the girls said. She was short, had long dark hair that flowed down her back, she was probably Dominican or Puerto Rican. With hazel eyes pink full lips, and she had a body a little bit. She probably wore a C in bra and her butt was big but then got flat at the end.

The other girl was short too, but she was African American. She was brown skin, had brown eyes, dark hair, with brown highlights, she had pink brown lips. They were really pretty.

The Dominican/ Puerto Rican girl said something to them, and pushed Carmelo forward. Then the space surrounded me got tight. Not like tension, but heart pounding. My nerves were getting nervous.

" Wassup. " He said into the jacket.

" Hey. " I wiped my face.

" Anyway, that's Meme. " He pointed to the Dominican girl.

" But my real name is Melanie. " She stated.

" That's Keyshia. " He pointed to curly head.

" Walter. " The light brown eyes boy.

" And Terence. " The boy with crooked teeth.

" Hey. " I said quietly.

" Now tell us wassup popular girl. " Keyshia sat down next to me, and crossed her right leg on top of her left.

I told them what happened, and they looked at me stupid.

" One they weren't true or real to you like we're to each other. " Keyshia stated. Then Meme spoke. " Then that's something stupid to be crying about. We never cry over boys or girls. "

" Well, once you find someone you care about or known your whole life, and they turn on you then you'd understand. " I said putting my hand over my face to block the sun. Then the bell rung.

" We'll talk later, meet us lunch. " Keyshia said.

" What lunch do you go to? " Meme asked. " C. " I said. " Okay good. " She smiled then they all walked away except Carmelo.

" Why you still here? " I asked.

" I don't know. " He shrugged and sat down next to me. " I thought you didn't like me and was still mad. " I stated looking at him.

" Sometimes people forgive. And I forgot what I was mad about. " He said and I smiled. He licked his lips, and his tongue was long. When he licked his lips it was a snack flicking its tongue. I love long tongues.

" Maybe we can hang this weekend since Terence throwin' a party. " He said.

" Sure. " I smiled.

" I might not go though, gotta a lot going on. " He stood up.

" Like what? " I said I was playing though.

" Just a lot. " He scratched the back of his head. He looked sad or disturbed or whatever, then he walked away. I noticed the whole time his jacket was covering his mouth.

I frowned my eyebrows, and walked in going to class.
