Nyemiah POV
I woke to my alarm, notifying me that it was indeed time to go to school. My break was over already! Oh how I wish it could've lasted longer. I was glad that this was my last year of grade school.
Climbing out of bed, I receive a text message from Liam.
Liam: Hey, wanna catch coffee at the Starbucks downtown after school?
Me: Sure I'll text you when I get home.
Liam: K
The only thing that separated me and Liam was that he went to David High Christian school and I went to the city's public school, Keller High. Yeah Liam was a Christian boy, but that's exactly what I need. To turn my life around before I end up in college like every other athlete and lose my chances of becoming pro.
Climbing out of bed, I pull out some clothes and accessories to wear for today, in mm, and head over to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After cleaning up I head back in my room and pull on my clothes. Grabbing my book bag, I check to make sure I have everything before heading out to the bus stop. Just because I had a car doesn't mean I'm gonna waist my gas for school when there is free transportation. Plus my friends ride the bus.
"Morning." I say to them before placing my book bag on the ground. Good Mornings and sups erupt from the quiet crowd that were currently on their phone, searching through their newsfeeds. The bus appeared from around the corner and everyone hopped on and found their seats. We'd joke around like usual and pick up the other students on the way to the high school.
Finally pulling up to the building, we unload the bus and head inside for another day at Keller High.
~~~~~~~~~~$$$$$$~~~~~~~~~
Me: Hey Liam I just exited the school I'm in the parking lot by the old gym. I text to Liam. During school he had textured me saying he'd like to come pick me up from school today and I agreed. So I was currently standing in an empty lot waiting for him to come by.
Liam: I'll be there in like five more minutes. Ugh!
Jeff POV
As I sit here watching Nyemiah from the mall parking lot, I couldn't help but wonder who she's waiting for. Maybe I should take her home. But she looked as though she was in no rush. I wonder who she's waiting for-
Just then I see this red jeep with the same guy she was talking to yesterday, pull into the parking lot and she just hops into the car. That infuriates me. She is so willing to jump in the car with some other guy when we have a regular disagreement? Suddenly my plans for saving her today were tarnished and I'd figure I have to wait a little while longer. I decide to follow them to...Starbucks? Where they walk in and she's just smiling and laughing at the stupid boy.
I climbed out of my car and headed in to order a coffee, trying not to be noticed. I sat at a booth right behind them and listened in closely on their conversation...
Plotting....
Nyemiah POV
"So Liam...tell me about yourself." I say to start up a conversation.
"Well my name is Liam Hardwick, but you already know that..." I giggled. "Anyways, I'm 18 years old, graduating this year from David High with a football scholarship to Harvard and I plan on going to become a veterinarian."
"That's really cool Liam! You know you're actually the first guy I've met that actually said he had a back up plan instead of automatically assuming a scholarship means a spot as a professional."
"Well I've always been taught to have a back up plan. Plus most NFL players go bankrupt after their career is over so...don't wanna be broke." He jokes and I laugh lightly.
"So Nyemiah...tell me about yourself." He says mocking me while taking a sip of is cappuccino.
"Well my name is Nyemiah Rivers, but you already know that..." he chuckles lightly. "Anyways I'm 18 years old graduating from Keller High with a basketball scholarship from Georgia Southern, and I plan on becoming a Lawyer." He applauded me and I did a mini bow giggling.
"So how was your previous relationship?" He asked after a moment of silence and I gulped. What the hell do I say!?!
"Well...my ex technically wasn't my ex, because we went on one date and we weren't compatible so I just cut it off and he went ballistic. Gladly I didn't lose my god given gift to him because he's crazy." I say exasperated and he laughs.
"Crazy?"
"Hard to explain....you remember that guy from yesterday?"
"That's him? He is crazy." Just then someone in the booth behind him stands then turns to us and I gasp. Jeff.
"Liam I think it's time we get going." I say standing to my feet and grabbing my drink.
"What-Why?" He asks confusingly but standing anyways.
"Yeah why Nyemiah, you just stepped in?" Jeff says and that's when Liam notices and grabs my hand as I cower behind him. It seems as though once that happened, Jeff was pissed.
"Lets go." I whisper and we quickly speed out of there.
"You'll be mine Nyemiah!" We hear him yell as we exit the store and hop in the car.
"Jesus can that guy not take a hint? Where did you meet this guy?"
"He lives next to my grandma, I haven't been over there in awhile either." He nods and says, "maybe you should report him."
"I should, but I actually have no evidence to get him arrested. He hasn't hit me or anything."
"File a restraining order. It works."
"I think I'll do just that. This is my turn right here." I say as we pull onto Claxton.
"Thanks Liam, I had a great time with you. Aside from the Ex incident." I laughed nervously.
"I had a great time with you to and...I wanna meet up again. But at a real restaurant and a real date."
"I'd like that." He places a kiss on my cheek and winks at me causing me to giggle while climbing out of the car. I wave to him as he pulls out of the drive and rides off.
Heading inside I drop my bags and my shoes in my room before returning to the kitchen to fill up my belly!
"How was your day today?" My mom asks me.
"Great! I went out with that guy from the dog park and he's really sweet and he plans on becoming a veterinarian. We're going out again soon."
"Well that's great, what college is he attending?"
"He has a scholarship from Harvard." My mom squeals in delight.
"Its about time you found a respectable young man. I wish you two the best."
"Thanks mom." I say before carrying my food back to my room.
