There she was sitting on the bank her beautiful self with no make up, no hair brushed, and nothing but her lovely self. I hate thinking that I have liked her ever since our eyes met. I walk slowly to her because I know she doesn’t think of me as i think of her.
“Hey gurl,” i say in my best western accent.
She laughs then says, “Do you have my homework?”
“is that why u called me?” i ask sarcastically then add, “I thought you would want to see my beautiful face.” I add a spirk with the last part.
“Clever, but surprisingly no. What would you think if I didn’t go to college?”
I am absolutely taken aback ever since we talked she always said stuff about how much fun and great college is.
“I mean like i could start my own future hopefully I’ll meet the right guy and settle down. I want a break from all this Ryder, I want to explore this hell of a country”
“In that case I’d go with you and explore this hell of a country. now where do you want to eat? Chick-fil-a? Whataburger?”
“How about La Madeleine?” She asks happily.
“Anywhere that you want to go is fine with me.”

After we eat, I take her to my house. I give her all the homework that she missed from the day. She takes it does at least three thirds of it in 20 minutes while I’ve been stuck on the same damn page. I have no clue honestly where she gets the brain from, her mother is a drug addict and abuses her and only her, then there’s her father that left for family issues.
“How are you doing?” Jaz asked me knowing I’m having trouble.
“Just great,” i say through clenched teeth. She gives me this look that says well you don’t have to be rude about it. “Sorry, i didnt mean that.”
Even though i can tell she is hurt her voice is happy, “No it’s quite alright i understand if this is stressing for the undeveloped mind.” Now its my turn to look hurt even when i want to burst out laughing.
“Well ouch!,” I say in a little kid voice, “Didn’t know that mine was still undeveloped.” She laughed,but at the same time her phone rang. when she answered her face dropped the smile and suddenly she grabbed her bag says goodbye then walk out.
