My alarm blares, and I almost don't wake up because my dream has an alarm. I don't remember the whole dream; the only thing I remember is an alarm blaring and my face full of black curls. I smile, pushing the hair out of my face pulling the owner of the hair closer to me, and kissing her on her cheek. Then I hear little footsteps running towards our room, and we brace for the body that's going to slam into ours. But before we did, I woke up and sighed heavily, hoping to be back in the dream. I roll my eyes, get ready for school, and walk towards my car with Max following me. I start the car and drive off, with Max grumbling about something in the passenger seat.
"Hey, what are you mumbling about over there?" She looks at me and quiets down, looking away.
"It's nothing" I roll my eyes, turn my music up, listen to it on the radio, and move my head with it. We finally get to the school, and I park, revving my engine to get people out of my way. I get out along with Max walking towards our school, and as soon as I walk in, there is a whole bunch of Halloween shit everywhere. I roll my eyes and look for Ebony and Jordan, but before I can look any farther, two girls stop me with a flyer in hand. I look over them and ignore them until they say a party, then I start listening. I take it and walk away, reading it; a Halloween party is what they were throwing. I scoff and shove it in my back pocket, finally finding Ebony and Jordan; thankfully, they haven't seen me yet, so I walk away. I smirk once I hear Ebony calling my name but as soon as she is in front of me, my face is blank.
"Do you need something, Ebony?" I ask in fake annoyance, looking into her eyes.
"I just wanted to apologize. I know you told me you liked me, but I didn't believe you cause I know you are or were a player. I also felt like we hadn't even known each other for that much, and you told me that you liked me. My last thought was I had never dated anyone, so I was nervous about the whole thing. So I'm sorry, can you forgive me?" I smile, open her hand, and hand her the flyer. She looks at it reading, then looks back up at me in confusion.
"You and I are going together to this party with couple costumes then I will forget about it I already forgave you," I answer truthfully and thoughtfully; she smiles a little and gets shy all of sudden, looking down. I put her face back up, so we are making eye contact,
"You have to pick out the costumes, so hurry cause the party is this weekend" her smile is a bit brighter, and she starts shooting out ideas,
"Ok we can do Sandy and Danny from Grease or a nerd girl and a bad boy! What do you think?"
"Either idea sounds good for me."
"Ok we'll do nerd girl and bad boy; I have to go buy some glasses and some other clothes."
"Alright sexy chocolate"
"You need to stop calling me that I don't like it."
"Ok I won't call you that anymore how about-"
"How about my name?" She interrupts, annoyed with the whole conversation already
"Alright Ebony I'll listen to you, but are you going to listen to me?" I ask as I look her deeply in her eyes,
"What do you mean?" She whispers
"I mean are you going to believe what I said about how I feel and give me a chance?"
"I don't know. I don't have good trust issues since my ex gives me until after the Halloween party."
"What did he do?"
"Who, my ex, he's a fucking idiot."
"What did he do?" I asked seriously; he must be an ex for a reason
"He cheated, but it's not a big deal; he got a good beating from all three of us" how could that shithead cheat on this beautiful woman. I grab her hand and keep holding her hand as we walk to class together. I know she's uncomfortable with everyone watching. Still, I don't care what they think because they don't matter. As soon as we get to class, I let go of her hand, grab her chin, and whisper to her,
"Don't let them determine your confidence; they shouldn't matter to you" she smiles and kisses my cheek. I feel myself blush a little, hoping that nobody can see it. I grab her hand and squeeze it once before I tell her bye, and I'm walking to my class. I smile a little, but it drops as soon as I see Carol but no Tommy.
"Hey, handsome," I ignore her and keep walking; she scoffs,
"I don't even know why you are talking to the bitch; she probably sucks off every guy she sees" I turned towards her with pure rage; she was smirking, looking around, but once the bitch saw my face, she got scared.
"What the fuck did you say?"
"I mean she hangs out with those two freaks so she must have sucked them off and she-"
"You need to shut up cause you don't know what you're talking about. She isn't like that at all!"
"Ok I'm sorry just chill out why do you care anyways?" She surrenders with a quiver in her voice.
"None of your business and if I catch you saying anything else about her I'll be back" I roll my eyes at this bitch spreading lies about people.
