Chapter 34 A Shoulder to Cry On

Thursday

         ~~LARISSA~~

It was Thursday and I was glad that we were getting closer to the end of the week. We have a game on Friday which means we will be performing. The game will be at our school which makes it more convenient, less stuff to carry and I can go home as soon as the game is done.

I still didn't get to talk to Elisha about the whole situation with Brian coming to my house for dinner.

I had very mixed emotions about it all. On one hand I was happy for my sister. She looked happy which made me happy. But at the same time I had to admit I was jealous. My mom was so impressed with Brian and he barely had to do anything. So what if he's some criminal justice major, he's not even at a university yet. My mom frowns on community colleges and put Danielle down about wanting to go to one. She finally got over that I guess. And then she's so impressed by Brian's parents being an accountant and a teacher, when her ass gives me such a hard time about "settling" for being a teacher. She's such a hypocrite. I can't stand her sometimes.  She still has never given me a valid reason why she doesn't think David is right for me. There is no valid reason. The first time she met him, she made it so awkward and uncomfortable for him..and me. He doesn't even like to come to my house because of her, but he just comes for me. I love him. My mom needs to accept it.

I was happy for Danielle, but felt jealous and uneasy. I felt uneasy because I was scared that just in a matter of time he would show himself to be the person Elisha said he was. I believe Elisha wholeheartedly, but I just hope maybe he has changed for my sister's sake.

I saw Elisha during lunch time as usual but of course Reese was there so that was a no go to talk about Brian. It would have to wait until practice was over.

I also feared that if Brian did end up cheating on my sister, it would make things awkward between me and Reese. I know it shouldn't, but if he did cheat, I know every time I see Reese, I would think of what his brother did.

I have a lot on my mind to say the least. I need to start applying to colleges and  scholarships and I need to retake the ACT and SAT. My mom says she has a college fund for me but she is so vindictive. I know there are some stipulations she has in order for me to have that money. What type of mother would do that? Mine.

After dance practice, me, Elisha, and Kendra ride home together. I was surprised Kendra didn't ride with Jason.Maybe she is trying to take it slow but I know sometimes his brother Josh rides home with him too. That would probably be awkward for Kendra to ride with the both of them. So far, she has not been up to date with the drama with Brian. She's kind of been in her own world which I understand after what she went through with Eric, and now Jason has her attention. So I'll have to update her on everything too.

"So what happened with Brian?" Elisha asked.

"Who's Brian?" Kendra wondered.

"Brian is Reese's older brother who we found out is dating Larissa's big sis Danielle."

"What??"

"Yea and he's a playa for real"

"I told my sister about it and she got kind of defensive and was saying she doesn't see that in him and she wants to give him a chance. So he came to meet my parents this weekend. We had a little dinner or whatever.  He was actin so proper and talking about how they met at a Black Student Union meeting and he was attracted to my sister's passion for helping black students adjust to college and what not" I explained rolling my eyes.

Elisha busted out laughing.
"Now that nigga know he ghetto as fuck and don't give a damn about helping black students adjust to no damn college"

Me and Kendra laughed at her comment.
