Hey My name is Tinashe[Ti-NA-Shay] Kairo [Kay-Row]. I'm mixed races, My Mom is Indian, Puerto Rican, and Japanese. My Dad is Egyptian & the ordinary regular American. I bet your wondering what that has to do with anything but those are the reasons why I can't be a normal teenager. When I was a young girl I always imagined my marriage to be beautiful but I was WRONG!!! I'm being forced to wed enemy. Well I at least I think he is.

Me: Mother why must I get so dressed up, for an outing with Latimores' it's not like they're royalty or anything.
Mother: Darling it's for celebration of your birth. Since they're family friends they're invited.
Me: Is Jacob coming?
Mother: Yes.
Me: I really don't want him to come?
Mother: But, Why?
Me: I just don't like, NO matter of fact I can't stand the sight of him makes me sick!!
Mother: TINASHE ALIANA KAIRO!!! How dare you say such things?!
My mom walked out angrily and slammed the door shut. I recently had my sweet 16, so most likely I was having a dinner with family, I wasn't thinking the Latimore's were gonna be invited. I was wearing a dumb red dress which in India was mainly worn at weddings. "Oh Shit!". My Dad warned me that my Mom was gonna do this. We don't do much of the old Indian or Japanese traditions, or follow the rules but this was it the thing me and my family said we would do. I forgot about it I made this promise when "I was freaking 12 I was dumb as shit back then"
Mother: Sweetie, come downstairs before the Latimores' arri- sweetheart what's the matter.
Me: I'm not feeling well, why can't we just forget about this dinner till another night.
Mother: Ooh Poor baby (rubbing my head gently) But suck it up come on down. We are all ready, the Latimore's are on their way.
Me: Moooooomm, I don't wanna get married.
Mother: MARRIED!!! NO SWEETIE YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET MARRIED!! You-
Me: Whew! So it's just a dinner with the Latimores.
I ran downstairs to my Dad, He looked at me and smiled, then a tear fell from his eye.
Me: Dad! What's the matter?
Dad: Nothing just my allergies, you know the weather, is just fighting me.
I giggled, and gave him a pecked on the cheek. My mother ran down like there was a fire or something but it was nothing, We had our housekeeper Roselandly [Rose-Land-Lee] set up the table.
Me: Mom, I thought we were eating out tonight?
She looked at me with a gigantic smile. Next thing you know the doorbell rings since Roselandly was busy I went to get the door.
Me: Hello Mrs. Latimore, how are you this wonderful evening?
Mrs. Latimore: I'm fantastic how are you TiTi?
I personally hate that nickname because Jacob gave it to me when we were like 4 or 5 years old, cause he could say my name. I let her and his Dad in but I tried so hard to shut the door before Jacob got to it but I failed.
Jacob: MAJOR FAIL!! Wow! Are you really wearing a dress?
Me: Shut Up!!!
I then punched his arm. I hit his muscle the shit was hard as rock! I hurt my hand tears started fell out of one eye, I turned away and walked to the dinning area, to have a seat.
