Get ready to dive into the captivating story of teenage couples as they navigate the treacherous waters of high school and strive to make their relationships last.
Maurice and Elisha have been inseparable since 10th grade, their love story a shinin...
"You datin' a white boy?" He asked with a grin spreading across his lips.
My expression that was once riddled with nervous anticipation now was a nervous smile, that I tried to cover up with a sassy response.
"Yea" I said with a hint of defensiveness.
AJ's question had a hint of confusion, disappointment, and even shame. It was as if he was asking what was wrong with me for even entertaining a white boy.
At this moment I needed an SOS from my mom because I didn't know how the rest of this conversation would go.
"Wowwww" AJ said leaning back and running his hands down his face.
My mom studied him with a nervous smile on her face.
"What??" I asked.
"I..I just wasn't expecting that...thats..that's different".
I just sat there watching his reaction. Here we go.
"What's wrong with it?" My mom finally came to my defense.
"I'm not saying somethin wrong with it, its just..I don't know..I guess I shouldn't be too shocked."
What did he mean by that?
"Well he seems like a nice guy and that's all that matters" My mom continued.
"You right, as long as he treating my sister right, I'm good. He treating you right?" He asked looking me straight in the eye.
"Yes he is"
Finally the conversation shifted to other topics, but my mind was still on the way AJ reacted. The way he looked at Jason as if he was an alien or something.
Did he think I was whack for dating a white boy?
I know none of this should matter because I've had the biggest secret crush on Jason for months and now I finally have him. I shouldn't let other people's opinions dictate who I date. I would hate it if Jason did that to me.
After an evening of laughter, deep discussions, and awkwardness, AJ was getting ready to go.
I missed him. I didn't want him to leave even though his reaction to Jason rattled me and had me mad at him for a moment. He's my brother. My big brother after all. And I love him.
We all stood from the couch, my stepdad walked back to the living room to say bye to AJ. We watched as they slapped hands and pulled each other into a brotherly hug.
My mom gave AJ a tight hug " You be good baby boy, and call me when you get home".
"I will Ma" He said kissing her on the cheek.
AJ's eyes settled on me and smiled. "My lil sis.. I love you". He said hugging me.
"I love you too" I said against his shoulder.
"Let me holla at you real quick" He whispered to me.
My mom watched as I followed AJ outside. I could see the curiosity all over her face.
I closed the door behind us.
AJ started to speak "Look man..I just want you to be careful. I hope this ain't the case man but he's a white boy and from my experience any time a white dude talking to a black girl he tryna fuck"
I silently gasped at his bluntness but I obviously was not good at hiding my shock because he picked up on it.
"Yea, I gotta be real witchu, I ain't finna sugarcoat shit, you my lil sister and I don't want no nigga playin wit yo heart. I'll fuck a nigga up about you. Just be careful man, alright" He warned me as he pulled me into a hug.
"I'm hear for you, if you got any questions about dudes, you can call me man. I know I dont be around like I should. I got my own shit goin on but I'm always here for you, you hear me?"
I nodded.
We hugged again and he went on his way.
I came back inside.
"What was that about?" My mom asked.
"Oh..he was just talking to me about boys and stuff"
"He's trying to look out for you, but you know this guy, but like he said just be careful. Don't let your guard down too much. "
I nodded. "I have to use the bathroom" I lied trying to find a reason to be alone and process everything that just happened. I had a bathroom in my room. I went and splashed some water on my face and took a few deep breaths. My mind was racing. Why was I confused? Why was I doubting everything now? I knew Jason. Not for long but I knew what he showed me. He has always been kind, sweet, and helpful. But what if he does have an ulterior motive?
What if he does just want to have sex with me and leave? That's what Eric wanted.
I was confused. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through all the texts between me and Jason. I started to read and try to analyze the things he said to me. Just then a text from him came in.

I smiled and texted back.
