Falling Before We Started

💞 Chapter two 💞

"The world is really crazy right?" I asked Tamara my best friend.

I can't believe my Mom would let me out of the house on a date with Mara. Mara and Tammy is what I call Tamara, I call her that because I think its much more cooler and better than calling her full name...TAMARA WILLIAMS.

Mom always goes coo coo when ever she hears me talk about going out. Either on my own or with a friend and since I got only one friend who happens to be crazy and a little wide...Mom became super strict about me going out.
Its not like she hates or despise Mara, she just don't like allowing her kids out of the house on their own just in the name of "its not safe out there" her words as she always says.

"Nope...it's absolutely not" she replied my question.

"you are just weird,and besides you don't want to have fun" she added shrugging her shoulders.

I rolled my eyes at her remark and sip a mouth full of my slush drink as I stare out in a daze, a little bit lost in my own thought asking myself why everyone thinks I'm odd just because I wouldn't date someone.

"Your Dad will soon get you a boyfriend fresh!! out of your village. trust me on that" I heard her said to me and I couldn't help laughing at what she said.

"Seriously?! girl..." I asked still laughing.

"My father... will NEVER do such a thing"
I said to her emphasizing on the word never. She stares at me grinning before blasting into an uncontrollable laughter.

"Girl...all that Bullshits only happens in the past and in an unadvanced places where girls are forced into marriage. such mentalities are uncalled for Mara Williams" I pout being serious.

"Bah bah bah...but the truth will always be the truth." She strucked out her tongue at me.

I became furious at what she said and was unable to say anything to her. Not because she is right... but it's all because I was just not going to let her get on me arguing with her.

And I was surprised hearing all this from her.

She gives me a look that say 'come on tell me I'm wrong?' As she starts poking her slush with the straw inside.

"Your Dad is likely going to do something like that with the way his taking things out on you if you don't change. or maybe the worst that can happen is...everyone thinking that you are a Gag"

"Eww...stop that" I yelled at her not minding the people present at the other end of the restaurant. It's not like am against the gay lesbians stuffs it's just that I can't picture myself touching or being touched by my own gender. Like, it's totally awkward if that could be the perfect words to describe how I feel about that.

'yeah, that's obviously the perfect words'
M

y inner demon responded.

" I'm not a Gag and nothing will ever make anyone to think that about me...especially not my parent of all people" I said strictly to her in a low tune to avoid attention.

"Then prove it" she said giving me a challenging look. I get the point that she is just trying to pull my legs and annoy the hell out of me right now but I'm not gonna let that happen.
I just have to calm down before I say something that will definitely hurt hurt.
