Two Worlds Same Minds

Mixture 2

Carmelo

 

Meme told me that Justice was kissing Alex in the hall. So I guess she moved on, when I didn't. Not one bit. I was putting on an act, to make her mad or jealous. Meme said she was definitely not jealous, she depressed and mad. And I could see she wasn't jealous. Whenever, I was with Hallie she ignored me or held her head a little higher. It may seem that I don't care about her, but I want to go to her and kiss her and hold her tight. I want her to laugh at my jokes, and not Alex's like she is right now.

 

I was in the hall grabbing my books, when Alex and Justice walked down the hall hand in hand like how they used to. They look so happy together. I slammed my locker shut hard, making everyone look at me.  I just walked off, and I saw Justice look at me with depression, guilt, and regret.

I bumped into Hallie and she smiled. " Hey baby. " She stood her tippy toes with puckered lips, and I just brushed past her leaving her on her tippy toes, lip puckered, and eyes closed. A couple seconds I heard her scream. " Carmelo! "

 

I smirked and walked to my next class, grieving over Justice.

 

I was sitting at lunch, when Meme, Terence, Keyshia, and Walter sat down. " How you holding up? " Keyshia asked, and I shrugged. " You miss her? " She asked. I just gripped my tray hard, and looked over at Justice sitting at a table alone then Alex walked over and kissed her. Then a smile spread across her face. I flipped my tray over and walked out the caf.

" Carmelo! " Meme shouted coming after me. I just ran around to the nearest bathroom. Meme hates the boys bathroom, so do I but I know she won't walk inside. One she's scared of big daddy's, and is disgusting to her.

 

" Carmelo! " She banged on the bathroom door. " Go away. " I said. " Just talk to her. " She said. " I don't know what to say. " I said. " Tell her how you feel. " She said. " She doesn't want to talk to me. I'm pretty sure. " I said. " Carmelo you sound like a little boy. " She said.

 

This girl knows I have low self confidence. But I try my best to overcome it, by playing all these sports, and dancing, rapping, and singing. Along with making poetry and music.

 

I walked out the bathroom, and brushed past her. " Carmelo come on. " She said. i just shrugged, and kept walking. I didn't know where I was going, so I just walked around.

" Call her tonight. " Meme said walking beside me. " I'll think about it. " I said. " I knew you'd come around . " She smiled and walked away.

 

Justice

 

Today was our last game, and we won by four points! I was so glad.

 

I was grabbing my bags from the locker room, when my friend Alyssa shouted something. " We killed it today! "

 

"Yea! We did! " Kayla shouted. I smiled, and the rest of the team shouted together.

Then coach came in and it went quiet. " Good job out there girls. " Coach smiled. Then she put the trophy in the air, and we all cheered. " We deserved this girls. We did good in all games, even when we lost. " She said and we all nodded. Then she went from there. About twenty minutes later I walked out the the locker room, greeted by my parents. I smiled and hugged them tight. " Thanks for coming. " I smiled. " Anything for our baby. " Mama ran her fingers through my curls. " You were so good. " She smiled. " Yea, i'm going to play volleyball when i'm older! " Rayan said with much sarcasm.

 

I rolled my eyes, and we walked out the building. " Wassup Jay. " I  familiar voice said and I stopped in my tracks. I turned to my left seeing Carmelo, and big smile spread across my face, and I ran over to him and jumped on him.

 

I hugged him tight, and kissed him hard on the lips. He kissed me back, and I was so happy and shocked. I haven't talked to him in two weeks and three days. It almost cried, but I sucked it up. But not enough, because some tears slipped out as we kissed. I pulled away and buried my face into his neck.

" Why you crying? " He asked into my ear and I could tell her was smiling. " I missed you so much. " I said into his neck. " I missed you too. " He hugged me tighter.

Then to ruin the mood, either my brother, mom, or dad cleared their throats. I jumped off his and turned around, and my mom was looking around, while brother was on his phone, and my dad looked at me with disapproval. I just rolled my eyes. " Call me later? " I asked as my family was walking away and he nodded. I smiled and kissed on the cheek. " This don't mean we cool just yet. " He whispered into my ear. I pouted,and he sucked onto my bottom lip. " I'm just playing. " He smiled and kissed the weak spot on my neck. " Damn. " I murmured. " Stop. " I pulled away and he chuckled. " Just because we weren't cool don't mean I don't know you Jay. " He said into my neck giving my shivers down my spine. I pecked his lips and walked away.

 

Later that night I was sitting on my bed, facetiming Carmelo. I was sitting in the dark, except for my lamp that's dim. The light of the lamp  looks like I a candle lit.

Carmelo's room was just like mine. Lights off except for a dim light, that shows his abs, as he does his homework.

" Why are you doing your homework in the dark weirdo? " I asked. " It makes me sober. " He said. " Oh, so you in your feelings? " I asked. " No. " He said. His voice was getting deeper, and I loved it, yet it scared me a little. Pops told me when I was thirteen, when guys voice gets deeper it means they're getting horny. He says boys get horny at night, start talking about things they shouldn't, but some know how to control their mouth. I believed daddy because he's a man and used to be a boy.

" Why you just sitting there? " He asked. " Cause I like sitting in the dark. " I rolled my eyes. " Anyway, I need to get some off my chest. " He asked. " Okay. " I said calmly, but my heart started pounding. " So when we were having our little situation did you really like Alex? " He asked. " No. I was just doing that cause Meme gave me the idea. I was mad and depressed, and she said since you made me feel that way, that you should feel the same way. Two can play that game and so on. " I said. " Oh. I mean I felt the same way, just not acting like it. " He said.

" They told me that many times, but I didn't believe it, since you always looked at me like I was once of your admirers in the hall, or gum on the bottom of your shoe. " I admitted. " I was just doing that to make you feel bad about what you said. " He said. " About not trusting you? " I asked. " Yea. " He put his led pencil down, and started moving around.

" I was just mad and confused. " I said. " I guess I should've thought about it that way then. " He said laying on his bed. " Yea. It really hurt seeing you with Hallie. You sticking your tongue down her throat like you do to me. Now I don't even want to kiss you anymore. " I said. Thinking about it made me want to puke.

" I could say the same about Alex. " He said. " I did it cause you did it. " I shrugged. " Aye don't be pointing fingers. " he said. " You know we'd never would've had that situation if didn't believe Hallie. " He said. " We wouldn't be any of this if you didn't attack me like that. You could've just convinced me instead of going all out." I said. " Whatever, I don't want to talk about it. " He said. " I don't either. " I shook my head.
