She needs love too

Chapter 3

          Sunday mornings was always the best, in some cases. I got up and brush my teeth, Then went in the kitchen to see if there is anything I could eat. My mom and Vince were still sleeping so I tip toed into the kitchen trying not to wake them up.I found my favorite cereal, froot loops, so I went in the fridge and got some milk and then I went to look for the bowls. I open this cabinet and gues what? the bowls were all the way on the top shelf. I struggled to get one until I heard someone coming into the kitchen. I thought it was my mom so I turned around and started speaking.

"Hey, can you get...." I stopped, and looked at Vince

"Uhh, what do you need?"

"A bowl" He went to the cabinet and took down the bowl for me.
"Thank you"I poured some cereal out for myself and then walked back to my room. I turned on the t.v. and started watching Charmed. Thats when I heard a knock at the door.

"Hey Tiana" my mom said as she walked in

"Hey"

"How you like it so far" I wanted to tell her I hated it but I didnt want her to be unhappy.

"Its ok, so far"

"Umm, Vince,Malachi and his parents Joel, Mary and I are going out, do you want to come?"

"Where you going?"

"Ihop probably" I looked down and then back up. Honestly I didnt feel like going anywhere, with anybody.

"No, its fine, You could go"

"You sure you shou-" I cut her off

"No, its fine, you could go" She sighed and then walked out the room. Few minutes later I heard them taking turns in the shower. I got up to put the bowl back in the kitchen, when I walked out I could see Vince standing there fixing his shirt

"Hey Tt, why you not coming?"I wanted to curse so bad, but I decided it wasnt the best idea.

"I didnt want to go" I replied as I went in the kitchen, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone of them. As I walked past back, It was very akward. I went into the room and continued watching the marathon for Charmed. A few minutes went by and then I heard the door closed. I walked out and saw that no one was home. I went to take a shower. When I came out i put on a Tank top on. I always feel comfortable in the house with tank tops, but only in the house. I put on some tights and socks and went back to watching t.v. I started to feel myself dousing off, so i turned off the t.v. and went to sleep.
Few hours later

I heard the door opening and then slammed shut. I got up and went to see if they were back already. I walked out from the back and went into the living room to see who it was,Malachi. I was headed back towards my room when he stopped me.
"Look man, it looks like you going to be here for quite a while, and we are going to see a lot of each other because Vince and my dad are best friends, so let's at least try to get along " I looked at him and sighed

"Ok, I guess" I just wanted to end the conversation and go back to bed but no he wanted to still talk

"Umm, they said to bring this food to you, they are headed to the movies right now" I took the plate of food and sat down in the living room and turned on the t.v. He started to head out but then turned around

"I could keep you company if you want. At least until they come home" I wanted to be alone but if we are going to play nice I have to at least get to know him. I shook my head and he sat down next to me. A moment later, his phone started ringing and then he got up and started talking to whoever was on the phone.
One sided conversation
Malachi-who like me

Malachi-oh that darkskin bitch

Malachi-man you know I don't fuck with dark skin, they look like a roach, I only want light skins

Malachi-naa man her pussy probably stink

Malachi- Hahah very funny

Malachi-man I got to go bye

I heard everything he said, before he even came back in the living room I got up quickly and went into the room and started crying. I know he wasn't talking about me but I'm dark skin. This is the main reason I'm not comfortable with my skin tone. I used to be, up until everybody started being judgmental. I heard him calling my name but I just ignored him. I didn't feel like facing him right now. I guess he left because I heard the front door shut. I just layed there and cried myself to sleep.
