Hard to get

My brother had just moved into college and that means that I get to steal his room now.I'm Amara and I just turned a junior in Brooklyn high school.It's just like the same thing every other year I've passed but so far but I will say freshman year was never the best year so far and I don't think it will ever be good for anybody who starts high school.You know that one boy who thinks he's smart good looking  and cool? Yea that person would be Alonzo the biggest obnoxious jerk I've ever seen.He's dumb mean and he's just a tool to girls.He's dated half the girls here for crying out loud. As I went to go put my stuff in my locker I heard a familiar whistle coming towards me and of course it was Alonzo.

"Hey Amara~"
"Ugh hey Alonzo"
"Why the grumpy attitude Amara?~
"What do you want Alonzo?"
"Oh nothing just saying good morning"

Sometimes I don't know why he talks to me like that it's..weird.At the the end of the day I go to dance practice to get things off of my mind so I can a good nights rest and stop thinking about how Alonzo always acts weird to me.Tuesday's are them kind of days where you just get the day over with but trying to stay in a positive mood even though you are going through the worst stomach pain in all of history and you feel like you're gonna die.

"Amara~"
"Go away Alonzo.."
"Aww feeling grumpy again?"
"Please just go.."
"Must be that time of the month I see~"
"S-SHUT UP ALONZO"

God he's so annoying I wish he just disappear.No I don't I take that back.Even though he's a pain in the butt he's the only one who says something to me every day and it feels like I'm not really alone.As I finished up doing my homework I get a knock at my door.

"Hey Amara.."
"What the hell Alonzo what ware you doing here it's late you know"
"Why are you always nonchalant to me?"
"You came to ask me that at this time of night"
"Still grumpy as usual"
"What do you want Alonzo.."
"You~"
"That will never happen"
"You'll see~"

I closed the door and went back upstairs curios if he was serious about him wanting me.Then again it's probably a lie because of all the toys he had gotten he threw away because he got tired of them.The next day at school Alonzo got weirder by the second.

"Why you being so uptight?"
"Why you being so determined to get me I mean you don't even like me"
"You don't know that~"

With him saying that I wasn't to be able to focus on my studies all day.He's constantly in my mind and I can't get him out. But I will say he's kinda cute tho.My last boyfriend was in freshman year and yes he was a freshman too.Turns out he was gay and he was just dating
me so no one will think he was gay.Don't get me wrong I'm supportive and all  but it's Wrong to use people and that was just the beginning of it.Moral of the story I can't trust guy's no more.

As I'm walking down the empty hallway trying to get back to my class   Alonzo came out of nowhere and pinned me to the lockers.

"H-HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Doing something I've should've did a long time ago"

Then he kissed me making me blush like crazy.I got back into reality and pushed him off and ran out the school going home.

When I went home I went to my room and shut my door and went under the covers thinking about why did he kissed me and why did it gave me butterflies in my stomach.The next day I went up to him so I could talk to him about yesterday but instead he ran the other way when he saw me.For the rest of the day he did that.Every time when I walk down the hallways or when I tried to sit by him during lunch or he would lie about his friends calling him for something.I couldn't stand it anymore so when it was time to get out of school I pushed him to the lockers demanding answers from his actions from yesterday.

"Why did you do it Alonzo?"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Don't play dumb with me"
"When I said that I liked you I really meant that Amara."
"So why play these games with me you could've told me straight up about it."
"I tried but you were being so mean to me that I couldn't get it out"
"Oh yea..."
"I really do like you"

He put his hands on my hair then caressing my cheek and I felt his warm hands touching my waist leaving me speechless.

"Don't look at me with those eyes"
"What eyes?~"

He said as the sunlight beamed through the window making his eyes look even more beautiful.Then I find myself kissing him but then I stopped and looked away from him.

"I should probably go"
"Please don't" As he touches my hair
"you know it's wrong to touch a black girl's hair right"
"I didn't know~" As he began touching my hair again

I pull him close to me making him blush a little and then we kissed again.
"I should really go now"
"Fine.."
"Why are you looking like that?"
"Because I don't want you to leave"
"Fine I'll let you stay at my house"
"Really?!"
"Only for one night tho"
"Got it!"

He gave me his number and I gave him the directions to my house and waited for him to come.Hours later he shows up with a bag and smiling at me. I blushed when I saw him but I still don't know if I can trust him or not to be my girlfriend.We started watching movies and playing games and I finally want to confess to him that I'm scared that he will hurt me.

"Can I tell you something"
"Go ahead"

I told him my story about me not trusting guy's and how I'm scared to commit to someone.I feel like committing is a scary step and it's like you're going through a new stage of  facing your fears.Then he comes and hugs me saying that he would never hurt me and he told me his story about how he dated a lot of girls because he was scared of committing to someone and finding the right person.He pulled me into his arms and I fell asleep minutes later.After a while he carried me upstairs a put me in my bed.

"I love you Alonzo~"
"I love you too Amara"
