The two

Him

"Will you go to homecoming with me?"
****************
It was the second week of my freshman year on Tuesday, I didn't realize that the person that just sat by me was going to be the love of my life.
"What's good bro." He said to the boy across from me, I think his name was Tyler. "What's up" Tyler said back to him and they dab each other up. Of course he didn't talk to me, first two days he only talked to me when he wanted a question answered cause he was in my math class.
The next day was practically the same, I came to school and sat with them, did my work and moved on. Thursday though was a bit different he talk to me a bit more but not like he talked to Tyler, Mrs. King came over to us that day also, she was a teacher who just walked over to other classes, and she also taught civics. I learned his last name not actually but what she said, he still didn't talk to me like that but she did. Next week Tuesday we had a test so of course we had to separate our desks so we don't cheat, he was in-front of me. That day I forgot my phone in my moms car so she was bringing it to me, I finished the test and so did Jay, which was his name. "Hey, hey." After to be looked back at me, he was hot but I didn't really feel attracted to him. "Can I use your phone." He nodded and handed it to me it, he didn't ask me for what or anything, I guess he did see me as a friend. "Thanks." With his phone I texted my mom about it, and after I just looked at his messages not going through all of them but just two, the one that had his name on them and one with Tyler. I got my phone after that but he didn't really talk to me much.

Monday, I was late but when I got there Tyler said, "there she is!" They both looked at me. I sat in my seat and they both talked to me a bit. I was 5'4, brown/dark skin and had glasses, Tyler was light skin and had a dumb but long messy Afro so did Jay but he was dark skinned. They were both at least 5'10 but Jay was a bit taller. "Samira, what are we supposed to do." They were actually so slow, "I don't know I just got here." I said. After that it was pretty boring.

Tuesday, I was late again but there wasn't a chair to where I sat so I didn't sit there, I didn't get to talk to either of them to be honest, next day I still thought that the chair wasn't there but there was a chair, so I didn't sit with them again, I was just going to sit there tomorrow. Then Suzan decided to sit with them, my friend winter told me the apparently she was trying to flirt with them but they wasn't feeling it, I wasn't jealous but I sure as hell knew that they WAS felling it with her. I wanted to ask Jay to homecoming but I knew with her I couldn't, I was bigger, brow skin, not the cute type, the uneven skin tone type. Also messy hair, while Suzan had perfect straight hair, even skin tone and was skinny. Tyler always said gyatt if I had bent down or have my tight flare pants on but I didn't care, he wasn't the one I was interested in, but of course he was still my friend.

Now I'm not trying to sound like a pick me but I'm being honest would you choose me over Suzan?

Though what was odd about Jay was that he seemed to be interested in me but just didn't say it, sometimes even when I was sitting with him he would stare me for a second, I to be honest hate my side profile that's why I noticed him first of all though. Wednesday, It was almost my birthday I was excited cause I was turning 14, I attempted to sit with them but my teacher said that Suzan was going to sit there because it was "better" for her and I. "That annoying bitch." I didn't say it to the teacher though just under my breath. "What happened?" Winter asked, "Suzan decided to sit with them, I don't care too much though." After that Jay rarely even looked at me. Thursday, It was my birthday!!! I had many many birthday wishes because I wore a birthday sash. That day I think he looked at me in that class more than winter, he then stared for I while and I looked at him and smiled, he looked away after. First I thought maybe he liked me but then I realized that he was probably looking at my side profile, ugly asf. After class I went up to him, Tyler, and Suzan to give him some of my Hershey's bar, I asked Jay and he shook his head I asked Suzan, I wasn't focused on Tyler though but he got a piece. After that I didn't talk to him till he next Friday, Jay anyway.

Friday I had to cheer at a varsity game so I wore my jersey and skirt. He stared none stop and I heard the occasional gyatt from Tyler. Suzan sat back where she was at first but they all still talked so even though I liked him, I didn't look once at him, but he was the opposite, I knew he probably liked me but I really didn't know, I guess that day answered my question.

7:00p.m
"Gimme a V, dot the I, curve the C, T O R Y." It was game time and we started cheering and the kids was with us. I was on JV abut we were cheering at the varsity game with varsity cheer. I saw Jay, he was looking straight at me, he doesn't play football so I knew he wouldn't be too interesting to him, I noticed and he noticed I noticed. He didn't look away though that was what was different. During halftime we had a break till 2 minutes on the clock. "Samira!" He called my name for the first time in days, "what's up Jay?" I responded turning around to face him, he had flowers they were huge, I could literally see them from behind his back: Tulips and roses, pink roses. "Do you know where Mira is I want to ask her to homecoming." ...

"Sh- she's by the bleachers I think.." "thanks, you did really good today also." And he ran over to her. "Keep your cool, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry." Tears ran down my cheeks as I said that. Well what I said was a lie he didn't actually ask me to homecoming, no one did, I totally thought I could change that but I couldn't. What I said though wasn't a lie also, only that part. After Jay their was Jonathan and Cameron. They were both seniors so to be honest I didn't talk to them that much in my freshman year. But Jonathan, Johnny was different I talked to him a lot because I had a class with him; of course he didn't flirt with me like that but shit we did talk, especially after homecoming.

Oh yeah, homecoming; it was fun but then when I saw Jay and Mira there grinding I was about to cry, but I didn't because Lily and Val. They were making homecoming wayyyyy to much fun, for me to be crying. That was the basics though, there were twerk circles, people doing flips, and grinding but being with my friends was enough for me.
