DIAMOND LOVE

EPISODE 10;THE STRUGGLE IN-BETWEEN

KINGSLEY!!!..,It started that day,woke up to my mom's call, feeling dizzy...my face on my hand, waiting for the fog in my head to clear,till it did...then I realized it might just be the most hectic day in my life,i remembered all my schedule going from classes to practice with Rosa,then also an expected terrible practice with Kai and finally dinner with Ivory's family, which I'm hoping to be comforting.

Mom made pancakes and coffee,I wonder if she knew I'd have a stressful day ahead,
you ok dear?;she asked...um yes mom,I'm fine why?
Well you look stressed out even before heading to school,seems you have a busy schedule today,huh?
Yes mom,I guess I suddenly became a business man overtime,oh please you know your Dad will think you're mocking him if he heard that:she said winking at me with a smile,which I returned also.

Your principal called...I suddenly choked on my pancake and ended up coughing when I heard that,you ok dear?..yes mom I'm fine,well I'm not how can you not tell me about the basketball competition,she asked looking sternly at me,well mom im sorry you had to hear it from my principal first,I just....oh dont give me that she caught me off angrily,you always tell me about all your competitions so why not this one? and what's more you didn't also tell me about you dance performance at your international cultural day event...what's wrong dear?
is something going on at school?;she asked looking worriedly at me

Well I couldn't really tell her about Kai and I totally forgot to tell her about Rosa,I guess that one skipped my mind
No mom I'm fine,I'm sorry I didn't tell you about any of it
I took a pancake and walked out giving her a peck on the cheeks from the look on her face I could tell she had something else to say but I didn't want to hear it so I hurriedly left the house, only to meet a strange car packed out front

Trust me,I couldn't believe who came out of it,it was "Rosa",she came out of the car waving and looking so innocent I'm guessing she also knew this was improper so it probably had me wondering why she did it,but anyways i couldn't let my mom see so i rushed towards her as quickly as i can,tucked her into the car a bit gently,then got in also without explaining anything and with the look on her face, she was also wondering what was going on but i couldn't speak until the car had started moving.

After moments of silence, she finally asked and trust me,she really tried being quiet because all the while I could see it on her face that she wanted to throw a tantrum and scream at me probably because of her hair-do which I ruined but she didn't so I applaud her for that... what was that for?:she asked,
What?:I asked looking away,
why did you tuck me in the car like that?,if you didn't want me there, you could have just asked me to leave,and you will?:I asked looking sternly at her,w-well...she tried to respond stammering until,"buzz buzz"my phone rang and guess who it was,it was Ivory, looking at Rosa who had quite an unexplainable expression on her face i picked the call,
"where are you?"; asked Ivory
Um..on my way to school, without your bike?,well yeah and besides,how did you know I'm going without my bike?,well i came to your house to pick you up but your mom said you left already,but clearly i saw you bike packed outside so clearly you didn't go with it so explain to me how you're headed to school right now?
Well,the thing is...Rosa came to pick me up,WHAT?,after that exclamation I quickly ended the call so as to prevent my eardrums from impairment.

I saw we already got closer to school i told the driver to drop me off, so i would walk the rest of the way, I expected Rosa to throw a tantrum but she didn't and from the look on her face she clearly understood my reason, obviously it won't be so good if people saw us coming to school together,so i got dropped off and appreciated the driver answer was about to begin my walking to school,i heard a horn behind me, and from the face of a familiar driver and car i knew it was Ivory,
"Get in",she ordered,but I'm already close to school, really?she asked folding her arm and looking meanly at me,I still wanted to protest but that's when Mr Henry convinced me saying "you better get in kid sge gad me run almost "300 meters per hour" just so she could catch up with you

Without further protest I got in and Mr Henry drove the rest of the way to school where we stopped to meet Rosa settling on her car as if she was waiting for someone, Ivory got out first and they both engaged in a long stare until I finally got out of the car and Rosa broke from the stare battle with a surprised look on her face,
Oh really and here I thought you were trying to avoid drama, nicely played K.J,I really wanted to explain but I just really couldn't,well aren't you going to say anything?... c'mon now dear,he doesn't have to explain himself to you,
Ivory snapped and then they started staring at each other like they were gonna tear themselves apart,I was practically speechless I mean I thought the practices were going to be the hectic parts of my but I haven't even gotten to the practice and things are already hectic,I mean could this day get any worse?

The stare lasted for almost a minute until,...now! now!, ladies take it easy it's too early to be competing said Ben,and for once I felt relieved to see someone, honestly it's as if Ben comes at the right time because he seems to be the one that stops them when they're moments away from pulling each other's hair,"ggggrrr!" the school bell rang and classes began, during the class I don't know why but I could really feel the absence of Kai,well part of me was glad,at least maybe that could mean that the basketball practice would be cancelled but art of me felt something was up,but nevertheless I focused on class the whole day until it was time to practice dance with Rosa.

After lots of twists, turns and falls,she finally let out her anger,why can't you get things right? how can you not have gotten 3 basic moves properly?,what's going on with you?
Without letting me answer she continued...;if this dance means nothing to you please feel free to switch,I can't have you ruining my presentation to my dad,I was on the verge of snapping at her but after hearing the word "dad",my eye became clearer and I could see she was on edge so rather than yelling I tried to comfort her,but she didn't make it easy so I walked out of the hall for her to cool off, practically for we both to cool off because I believe we both could explain if we stayed together much longer,as I left the dance hall I could finally get some breath and I could hear her scream practically letting herself out because it's all too much for her.
