Jasmine's POV --
Truth be told , Daniel has been calling me non - stop. I have no clue what so ever to how he had gotten my number, but he has it . Hell, it seems like the guy had ... mutated into a whole different person. He's become so odd - peculiar . I can't put my finger on it, but dude is not okay.At all.
As for me, I'm getting ready summer since it's the end of the school year and I am a Senior . I was able to skip eight grade, so I'm obviously a grade ahead . This morning would be the start of the last week of school , and I'm really excited for what's in store for the summer for me. Hopefully I'd be able to see Jas'mariee , and the countdown to summer starts now...
Date: 6/1/84
Time: 5:30 A.M
1st day of the last week of school.
I was suddenly awakened by the booming of thunder, along with the titters of the rain outside my window. I began to drag myself out of the bed, trying to rid myself of sleepiness and heading towards the bathroom door for a morning shower .
I left my hair in it's deformed curls and slid on a maroon romper, dark blue jean sleeve-cut jacket and a pair of blue jean Toms. I had already polished my nails maroon last night so as far as matching, I was okay . As a finishing touch, I put on a pair of my silver genuine hoops an cross necklace that my father gave to me at my sweet 16 before the incident ... with Daniel . I grabbed my shoulder bag and headed downstairs to come upon the aroma of my mother's breakfast.
"Good morning Mama , how are you ?" I said, approaching the counter .
"Good morning my love. I'm well, how are you?" She said looking up from placing food on my plate.
"Hungry Mama and maybe a little excited." I laughed along with her.
"That's good , " she said putting the plate in front of me. "so, have you talked to Rosalinda and Elijahh since Baby Jassie's transmit?"I heard the concern in her voice.
I looked up at her, swallowing the remains of my strawberry . I had forgotten what she had stated about me until now. She didn't want to be concerned with me giving Jas'mariee away because that was sorta on the lines of what she said about 2 months ago

I was resting on the couch with
' Mariee in my arms. I was admiring every miniature feature of her body, wondering what other mothers were out there doing as I am. I had been home for about a week from the hospital. While home, my mind had stayed on my Father's statement about keeping 'Mariee and had really pissed me off, but I really wanted the best for my daughter & I had already made my decision. That's when I heard the front door slam causing
' Mariee to jump out of her doze.
" JASMINE !" Mama wasn't happy at all .
"Mama please. ' Mariee is trying to sleep."
"Baby, why didn't you tell me you were sending baby Jassie to Rosalinda and Eli ?" she implied , running her fingers through her natural curly brown hair.
See , Mama wasn't really fond of her twin sister Rosalinda because she felt as if both of them were raised wrong as children by being spoiled with everything. Marilyn was always happy to be able to help & work for herself instead of being a lazy spoiled brat; but Rosalinda believed in living the good life, with maids doing her everyday work and getting just about everything she wanted.
Mama told me that although they were twins, their personalities were nothing alike.
"Mama, you know I wanted to get pass the rest of this year. Why don't you understand?"
"Why don't I understand? Jasmine you know , I would have loved to have taken care of my granddaughter. You didn't have to send her off to Rosalinda."
"Well, Mama, it's already done. I thought you and Dad would have been busy. Besides the fact Mama, you know Dad didn't even want me to have her." and after those words were spoken from my mouth, her total demeanor had changed.
"All your father wanted Jasmine was for you to grow into a fine young woman before having a child; But you had to go off and change that thought of his."she said harshly , walking out of the room.

I knew Mama didn't have any idea about the true reason of me actually getting pregnant, but the actual thought of her saying to me really hurt .
"Yes , I have Mama. 'Mariee is doing fine , " I said putting on my shoulder sack, "I'll see you later." I said walking out the door .

I met Donna at the entrance of Gateway High School , the school that'll soon be out of our hair. The school that's full of memories - good and bad . The school we'll remember forever .
" Well J, last week of our high school lives ! How ya' feeling ?"
"I actually don't have any idea of how we feel D , mixed emotions I guess."I said as we headed into the doors of the school.

"Alrighty , guys and gals . I actually got Mr. Michael Jackson to agree to accepting our letters! I'm excited for you guys, maybe one day one of you ladies will thank me. Who knows ?" Our teacher, Miss. Miranda stated . You could here tho
I can't believe she actually got Michael Jackson to agree to this shit, like doesn't this guy have something better to do. I know I'm just ready to get this assignment over with.
" Miss. Miranda , how in the hell did you get Michael Jackson to agree with you ? You creeping or somethin' ?" This guy named Devontae asked , while the entire class rolled with laughter. The kid used to be obsessed with me , until I got pregnant of course. Now no one really talks to me anymore; although, I truly don't care.
