Morant: Back to the basics

Lauren

Ugh! Finally the day is over. I never knew how exhausting the first day of senior year could be. I was sitting in my car waiting for my little sister Stephanie who was a grade behind me. I pulled out my black berry and I.M. Lisa and her sister Leslie on MySpace.

"Aye ma, funny running into you again" Temetrius walked up to my passenger side with his brother Chris.

"Is that the best line you got? I mean we did park beside each other."

His face turned red and I even shocked myself. "What you about to get into?"

"Go home and eat some gra-"

"Oh yeah, grapes, right?"

"Oh you keeping up with the kid?"

"Damn" Chris laughed

"Anyways I'm about to go to the gym I'll see you around" he got into his car

Soon as he left steph, Lisa and Leslie hopped into my ride then went to my house. "Girl, why was Temetrius at your car?!" Lisa asked

"I don't know I guess he was trying to flirt"

"You better stay away from him. You know Kara is head over heels for that man" Stephanie added

"That hoochie?! He can do much better than her" Lisa said

"I said the same thing" Leslie laughed

"Play that B2K joint, sister" Steph said and put the CD in.

"Bump, bump, bump" came on and the sunroof was open. We jammed to the music until I got a notification on my blackberry.

"TeeMorant wants to be friends"

"No effin way! Temetrius just added me on MySpace!"

"Damn girl how he find you?"

"I mean my MySpace name is my first name" we all laughed and got out my car

We walked into the new house my dad got after being promoted and into the kitchen. "Hey auntie Netta" Lauren said speaking to her moms sister

"Hey girls, how was school?"

"Someone caught Temetrius attention today" Lisa said

"Ooh the cute boy who lives next to us?"

"What?!" I yelled

"You didn't know that?"

"Auntie netta we just moved over here so no" Stephanie added

As we sat in the kitchen gossiping about the school day there was a knock on the door. Lauren gets up and opens the door, there was Ja standing there with a welcome basket.

"Jones?!"

"Morant?"

"Sumter really is small. I didn't know that was you moving right next to me"

"Me either"

"My mom sent me over here with this welcome basket but I got hungry on the way so I stole a cookie"

"You are a class act" I giggled a bit and took the basket from him

"Well I'll see you around neighbor." Temetrius said and turned to walk away. Lauren shut the door and took the basket into the kitchen.

"Temetrius's mom made us a welcome basket" I said

"Aww, I have to have them over for dinner one day"

"I still can't believe he lives next door to us. What if my room is facing his!? I'd never open my blinds" We laughed but I was dead serious

"Shit if I was a few years younger I'd leave mine open" Auntie netta said truthfully

After we talked with Auntie for a bit and had dinner, Lisa and Leslie went home and steph and I went to our own rooms for the night.

I was listening to my iPod when I got a IM on my desktop. Instead of going to my computer I picked up my blackberry and checked it.

TeeMorant: look out your window

I was confuse but my curious ass looked out and seen Temetrius's room and we right there across from mine.

"I'm starting to think your doing this on purpose" I smiled a bit

"Nah, ma. Don't act like you aren't happy to look at all this sexiness" we laughed

"Cocky much?"

"Cocky much?" He mocked me but made me sound extremely white

"I don't even sound like that"

"Yeah ok Becky"

"Good night Temetrius"

"Just call me Ja"

How the fuck you get Ja out of Temetrius?

"I know your thinking how do you get Ja out of Temetrius but my middle name is Jamel so ya know"

"Goodnight, Ja" Lauren smiled

"Goodnight Lauren" Ja said

I closed my blinds and smiled to myself. But that smile was short lived. It was true I had a crush on Ja for awhile now but I know he would never go for someone like me...
