<(ω⊙ω)> Chapter Thirty-One
It's been two days after Cameron asked me to be his girlfriend and I have been freaking out about mom ever finding out.
I can't live like this forever--lying to my parent. The only person who takes care of me.
But again,I'm scared of what she might do. I'm scared of what she might do to not just me but to Cameron.
Will she drive to Cameron's house and file a complaint against him to his father and Nana? What's gonna happen if I let her find out I'm in a relationship with the boy she rebucked me from ever seeing?
I'm running out of my mind!
"Shit,I don't know what to do now Luwi," I tell my best friend over the phone as I put on my shoes and get ready to head out to school.
"Well,I don't know what to tell you," she says and I hysterically laugh over the phone but sarcastically.
I'm losing my shit!
I'm so nervous about this whole shitty situation I'm in.
"You're being mean right now," Luwi tells me and I deeply sigh out of frustration.
"You're supposed to help me out,Luwi Young!" I say to her with desperation and panic.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'm coming to pick you up with Karan and you can explain to us clearly on what's bothering you so badly and we will help you figure something out," she suggests and I groan in annoyance.
"Tell me to lie to my mother and pretend as though I am still the purerest child she's ever raised. That'd be a great idea," I tell Luwi and she laughs.
"Kabwe,mom's find out shit either way. Just sit tight,I'm coming over to pick you," Luwi tells me and I hum in affirmation.
"See you soon,butterfly," she says and cuts the line.
I throw my phone on the bed and loudly shout out of annoyance that I forget Mom is in the house.
"Ngomungulu uyo?!" Mom shouts out from downstairs asking me why I'm behaving foolishly and I clear my throat to speak up defensively,
"I can't find my left shoe! Sorry!" I shout back and there is silence from her.
I deeply sigh out of frustration.
I hope I don't go into depression just like every other teenage girl that has the greatest epiphany in life that makes them see that every stage of their existence has nothing but a gallon of salt pouring on their open cut wounds and it hurts.
This is the moment I accept that Life will always be a bitch.
I immediately grab my phone from the bed and begin to text Cameron letting him know that I'm on my way to school.
Me typing...
Me: 7:35am
*Hey,Cameron. I'm on my way. Can't wait to see you soon,xoxo.*
I send the text and its delivered.
I grab my back pack, calculus text book and look into the mirror staring at my miserable teenage reflection and I deeply sigh out of frustration.
"You're a shit and you're in trouble but you're beautiful," I say to myself and my phone beeps.
I check to see who texted and its my boyfriend whose responded to my text.
Cameron: 07:36
*Can't wait to see you too,babe. Xo.*
Cameron says over the text and I just react to it with a heart.
Okay, Kabwe. Let's seize the day with teenage trouble. I then rush out of my room.
*
"Bye,Ma!" I bid my mother goodbye as I hurriedly get into Luwi's car.
"Bye,Ma!" Luwi shouts out to my mom who smiles and waves at my friends.
"Bye,my babies! Make sure you take care of yourselves,guys!" Mom shouts out and we all wave at her goodbye.
Luwi then drives off.
*
Yungblud's hit song, "FUNERAL" Is playing on the radio as Luwi drives us to school. I'm panicking and probably regretting ever saying "yes" to Cameron.
"So you're telling me you decided to accept Cameron's proposal without thinking about your mom?" Karan asks with a laugh.
"Haha,laugh all you want. I'm guessing my life is a fucking living meme now," I say in annoyance and Luwi chuckles.
"No. You're just naturally funny in all that you do,baby. Just relax and you'll be fine," Luwi says.
"How will that happen when I'm having a crisis right now?" I ask.
"Well,my opinion is break up with Cameron Winston and forget about him," Karan says.
I laugh hysterically.
"Wow,I'm guessing your mental crisis really is serious,nha?" Karan says surprised by me.
"She did that to me too. Over the phone," Luwi tells Karan referring to my hysterical laugh at him that I did to her over the phone earlier.
"Not gonna happen! We just became a thing like two days ago. I can't be like the Kardashian's who always end their relationships within weeks," I say in panic.
"Kabwe, it'll be the best," Luwi tells me with her eyes focused on the road.
"Come on,now! You guys felt happy for me when I told you about being Cameron's girlfriend so why should I jeopardize this one chance that I have to prove to my ancestors that I can handle my teenage life and relationships?" I ask my friends who don't really have the perfect answer to my dramatic question.
"I don't know." An honest answer from Luwi.
"I think you should think about what you want out of this life,Kay. Is it a brighter future ahead of you or Cameron? " Karan asks me and It's a very sensible question that it tats on my brain.
"Fuck,I'll think about it," I tell my best friends and they have smiles beaming on their faces.
I will totally think about it.
Though "thinking" is something that stresses me out despite me being so great at my academic work that I become so uneducated in my own field of "Love life".
Wow! Just wow.
But I want both of those things: A brighter future and Cameron.
