Study Buddy: A Chris & Miya Story

Chapter 9

Chris.

Only God knows how much I wanted to give that little boy what he was asking for. I hate when people confront me, especially in public. If we talk in private, I might be a little calm, but confront me in public it's a whole different story. I don't take any kind of disrespect lightly. Never do, never will.

And here I was backing away from a fight. I was going to give him one good punch, but then I looked at Miya... She asked me not to do anything. I really don't know what came over me, but I had to listen to her. It was all worth it when I saw her smile.

A small smile crept up on my face, as I thought about her perfect smile. Like it's painted on her perfect mocha colored skin. Her long reddish-brown hair, her body...my goodness. Slim thick...just the way I like it. Her lips, her  plump lips. I wonder what it feels like to kis- Wait. 

Even though, I'm satisfied with her smile, a tiny spark of realization settled in place.  I'm sitting here fantasizing about her, while the whole reason she was telling me not to do anything... Was to protect her stupid little boyfriend. The smile I had on my face vanished. Now, I'm getting confused, am I crushing on her... Is it this serious? I got punked because of her... I shook my head slightly to rid my mind of this confusion.

Finally, when I started  thinking straight, I realized I'm sitting at my lunch table with my people.

"Ha... Man that's crazy." I said to Anthony. He was telling a story and I wasn't paying attention, so I had to say that line.

"Yeah..." Anthony dragged out, laughing. "But I can't wait for y'all game next Friday." He said with enthusiasm.

Sean and Thomas agreed by cheering. "We're going to be good, as long as Chris doesn't get injured." Sean said, shaking my shoulder. Which caught me off guard a little bit, because I'm not really in my zone.

"Yea... Yeah! Um I need to go to the restroom, I'll be back." I stood up and removed myself from the table. I need a minute. Why am I feeling like this?

Walking passed Miya's table, I was staring hard. I could stare at Miya all day, I thought. So out of focus, I bumped into a random girl. I grabbed her so she won't fall back.

"Sorry." She said looking at me with lust.

"Nah. It was my fault." I smiled then let go of her, as I walked off. She was going to say something, but I just didn't want to have a conversation with anyone right now. I walked out of the cafeteria and to the restroom.

When I walked in I looked at myself in the mirror. I sighed then starting laughing.

"You don't really like her... Maybe you're just attracted to her that's all." I'm talking to myself, like I'm whole different person. "But... You're doing things you nev-" I stopped talking when someone walked in. "Thomas, wha- what's up?"

"Chris... You good man?" He asked.

"I'm chilling." I said, trying to act cool.

"Don't hit me with that crap. I've known you since 6th grade." He knows me well. I want to tell him what's up, because I trust him. Our trust goes to the moon and back. I trusted him with my life. But... I'm not even sure what's going on.

"I don't know man..." I said walking away from the mirror. I looked at myself one last time, then at Thomas,

"Come on I'm here for you... No homo." Thomas said putting his hand on my shoulder. We both shared a quick laugh.

I took a deep breath. "Okay. Lately I haven't been feeling like myself..." I started. "I've been feeling weird."

"The hell? You sound weird." Thomas furrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms over his chest. Okay that's his problem, always getting ready to call someone out on something.
