Love Is Like A Playlist

I Jasmine Elian Williams...

I sat up in bed quickly,I breathed deep and heavily. I was sweating from my previous experience.

I closed my eyes, inhaled and exhaled. I swung the covers off and walked across the hall to the bathroom. I did my business, washed my hands and looked in the mirror.

I pulled the baggy skin on my face, untill the point where it hurts and let it go. I watched as it jiggled it's way to its original position.

I ran back to my room and picked out my School clothes. Today was the first day of 11th grade and I Jasmine Elian Williams was in a huge rut.

I took a shower. When I finished, I wraped the towel around myself and wiped the mirror off with my hand. I made a ugly face and laughed at myself.

As I put my clothes on thoughts ran through my head.

'Are they going to like me?'
'Will I fit in?'.

I hate being the "new girl". Oh well. I grabed my stuff and jogged downstairs.

My mom was sucking face with my step dad. "Eww! Get a room!" I said covering my eyes.

They pulled away from each other and giggled. Dis-Scrost-Ting!

I got a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator. Moving here will take some time getting use to!

"DaShawn! Let's go!" Greg (my step dad) said.

DayDay came running down stairs. "Alright! Alright! Alriiight!",said Greg, "Jasmine have a wonderful first day! DaShawn drive carefully!".

I kissed my mom and followed DayDay to his car. "You nervous?" he asked.

"Me! Of course not!" I said trying to sound believeable.

We both started cracking up! We pulled up at this house. DayDay beeped the horn and a couple of guys came out.

I looked at him and rolled my eyes. They got in the car.

A light skin one wearing blue came to the front. "C'mon dawg the fronts my seat!" he said.

"Well you 'gone learn today son!" I say pointing to the back seats.

The boys laugh. He squezzes in the back seat with the other 2. "So who are you anyways?", another light skin one asks.

"I'm Jasmine! DayDay's step sister!" I say playing Flow on my phone.

"I'm Spotlight!", the brown skinned one says. I wave.

"I'm Julian!", the second light skin one says.

"Langston!", the front seat rider says.

I smile at them. We pull up at School. I got out and got my stuff. I turned around and see the boys drowling.

"Off limits!", DayDay says locking his car. I flip my hair across my shoulder and walk into the School.

"You must be Jasmine!", a short lady with thick glasses asks.

"I am she!", I answer walking towards her.

"I'm Mrs.Terrance. Nice to meet you! Welcome to Gail Valley. Here is your schedule. Your first class is with Mrs.Washington. Hope you enjoy day! Gotta run! Hey boys!", she says in one breath.

I breathed for her. Wow! "Who has Mrs.Washington?", I ask the boys.

Langston and Spotlight puts their arms around my shoulder. "Today's gonna be fun!", they both said in unison.

Yay! I said sarcastically. They both walked me to her class. Everyone stared at me. I looked around.

A girl looking sort of ratchet whispered to this other girl next to her, who began laughing and looking at me. I rolled my eyes and sat down in a empty seat in the back.

"Class this is Mrs. Williams! She is a new student. Today let's try to welcome her and make her comfortable. Hi dear, I'm Mrs.W! Come! Sit a little closer, let me look at you.", she said.

I got up and walked to a middle seat. In front of where the snickering chicks were and beside Spotlight.

"That's better! Okay Jasmine, correct!", she asks. I shook my head yes.

"Jasmine this is math! Just pull out a journal and copy the board!", she says.

I pulled out my pink 5 star notbook. "5 star! I didn't know poor people could afford it!", one of the whispering girls said.

I looked back. "Oh really! So why do you have one dearie?", I say in a white girl voice.

The people around us oh and aw. She folds her arms and sit back. Easy! I copied the board and answered her question. The ones I knew at least!

After class I gathered my things and waited for Langston and Spotlight.

"Where to next?", I ask them. "Well I have Science! You'll be with Langston for a while!", Spotlight says putting his bookbag across his shoulder.

He daps Langston and leaves. Langston gets up and grabs my paper from my hand.

"Oh! You have a different History teacher.", he says.

Great! I'm going to be alone. "Oh okay then.", I say disappointed.

He smiles apologeticly. I walk behind him so he can show me the classroom. He drops me off and leaves. Here goes nothing. I walk into the classroom.

The same thing. Looks and whispers. I hear a whistle. I roll my eyes and sat in the back. Again I get moved to the middle. Copied the stuff. And left.

Now Science class. By myself again! Their was lab tables so I didn't know what to do. The teacher was about to assign me to some sweaty kid, but this jock looking fella spoke up.

"Mr.Muadline! She can be my partner! Beside Amber isn't doing so well and Carl is smart he can catch her up!", he says.

The Amber girl gasps at me. Next thing I knew I have a cute science partner and I have a science project due in 2 weeks! I am on a role!

I arrived in the Cafeteria with my science partner. His name is Drew! We were discussing our project since class ended. He seems really nice. He even asked me to sit with him and his friends. But I turned him down and sat with the old new people I know.

I plopped down next to DayDay and hugged him. "Someone I know!", I said onto his shirt sleeve.

"You know us, and we ain't getting no hugs!", Julian says.

I laugh and air hug them. "So boys! How were your classes today!?", I ask sounding like an adult.

"Charming, if I say so myself!", Spotlight says. We all laugh.

Some girls sat down at the table with us. They look at me and slowly wave. "Hi! I'm Jasmine! DayDay's step sister!", I say reaching out my hand.

One girl shook it. "Kiana! Nice to meet you!", she said.

I smile. "Brittany!", the other one says also shaking my hand.

Brittany! I like that name! I told my mom that I would name my daughter that if I ever had kids. We all smile at each other.

After lunch the boys rode in DayDay's car and I rode in Brittany cars with her and Kiana.

"So how was it being in a car filled with super hot muscular guys?", Kiana asks daydreaming.

Brittany and I laughed to each other. "Uhmm..It was cool I guess if you think their cute." I say trying to sound casual.

We all laugh. "Since her 2 year relationship break up; She's been going a little...crazy.", Brittany says to me.

"Why you putting all business out on the street like that! What's wrong with you?" Kiana says waking up from her daydream.

We laugh again and head to our clueless destination.
