Chapter Forty-Two

I drove myself to school early today. I borrowed Lubemba's car and she borrowed moms. Moms off for the day because she's home having a great time talking and laughing with Steve. Probably making out but I don't wanna think about it.

It's the Senior year spectacular this evening and I'm hoping I get everything in order because I'm the director and coordinator of the event. I'm also performing but not predominately running the stage with my grace just like Luwi, Fiive and Scarlett will.

I'm in the girls bathroom dressing up like the rest of every other senior teenage girl performing today. I texted mom about coming over for the show an hour earlier before it starts.

I asked if she could come along with Lubemba. They could both bring Steve and Jeremy for all I care, I just want them around to see what we've all pulled off.

I'm tying my Afro hair in a neat bun and I start to apply my make-up. I then hear some voices behind me of three girls who are talking about Cameron and his team all being accepted earlier at the university of Stanford and Harvard. They then whisper to each other to ask about my relationship with Cameron.

I keep myself busy trying to avoid them but one of them comes up to me with a light innocent smile on her face.

She taps my shoulder for my attention. I turn to look at her.

"Hi,Kabwe. I just wanna ask,uh,how do you feel about Cameron heading over to study at Harvard?"

"I feel good for him. I'm happy that he's chosen to do what he loves," I reply hoping she doesn't say anything that could tear me apart.

"Well,uh,just one last question: will you miss your boyfriend?" She asks excited and almost every girl in the bathroom looks at me curiously waiting for an answer.

I get nervous and swallow the hard lump on my throat that could make me wanna cry.

Cameron and I broke up so I don't know if I should tell these people the truth or not. I just wish Luwi was here with me but she's busy in the theatre hall with Karan, Georgie, Scarlett and Fiive and with Bradley and Cooper just looking at the place to make sure it's set for the performances.

I clear my throat to speak up and I tell the truth.

I mean I can't lie. This is the last time I'll even be around here because I'm graduating and so I don't wanna keep my high hopes of probably meeting Cameron someday.

"We broke up actually," I say and everyone is dumbfounded.

Murmurs come up and of course they feel sorry for me. The girl hugs me and tears up instead of me.

"I'm so so sorry. Gosh,we saw you guys together forever. He's never in his life here feel happy like he was with you. I'm sorry,Kabwe," she tells me and wipes her tears heading back to her friends still crying though.

Okay,she's weird.

"We're sorry,Kabwe," I hear another girls say to me and the bathroom is filled with apologies over me and Cameron parting ways.

They were rooting for me and him to last forever? Didn't see that coming.

I just lightly smile and continue dressing up ready to head over to my friends and distract myself about being single again...the usual.

I'm preparing for the musical backstage. I'm trying to make sure everything and everyone is looking amazing which they are and I'm super proud of everybody's work.
