What A Life

Ny'Kayla

"I'm not telling you anything about me so stop asking." I said

"Kayla I'm not like anyone else, I'm not just going to leave you foreal I just want to know how your day was." The random boy said.

As the conversation went on she held her guard up. She woke up at 5 to start getting ready for school knowing it takes almost forever to get a perfect outfit out. First she showered then searched for an outfit that was different, different from sweatpants or ballers and a random tee. Nothing exotic but some she hasn't wore recently. For the last few years, life had been tough so she felt no reason to dress to impress. But today she just wanted to try for a change. Once she decided on clothes she flat ironed her hair and put on a necklace from her childhood, something that felt as if it was a good luck charm.

Name? Ny'Kayla Waters, I'm 17, I am starting my junior year at a new school which means all new people ... Hopefully. We moved Louisiana about a month ago and I have done nothing but sit in the house alone because my mom was always working. I was raised by my single mother Corinna Waters, I've been told she is my birth mom but every time someone says it or just the thought of it, just doesn't feel right. I feel like this life I've been living for the past few years have all been a lie, you have people who act like they care everywhere you go, then there is me. I'm one who just continues to stay to myself because everyone to me is the same.

When I finally got ready to leave I went to the end of my court where I saw a group of boys and girls standing together, laughing, clowning, and talking about everything. There was this one boy who stood out he was the tallest one in the group, hazel eyes, brown skin, with long dreads, I was so caught up at looking at him the bus had come and was almost gone. He came over and tapped my shoulder asking if I was riding the bus, I felt embarrassed, there was a few laughs coming from the back, but that all ended when he took a seat right beside me. The bus ride was only about 7 minutes and he decided to take that time to try and get to know me but then there was me trying to allow him but a shot of the old me came back and messed it all up. When we got to the school we got off the bus and went to what they called a "homeroom" to get our schedules. But me being the new person I didn't know where I was going. I tried to ask a couple who were standing near the stairwell and surprisingly they knew exactly where I was headed because that as their homeroom also. At this school I felt the difference, I don't know what it was, I just felt a good vibe, the students were helpful, the teachers seemed chill, and maybe I could get used to this. I just knew it wouldn't last long though, nothing good lasts long. The school day was chill, quick, and enjoyable. The bus ride home was full of music, talking, laughing, just everything. I didn't see the boy I saw this morning, I don't know if it's because he's in the back with them or what but I was really looking forward to sitting with him and getting to know him now that I think I have the confidence now. I guess I'll have to see how tomorrow goes. When I got to my house I went straight to the kitchen, one thing I can say is, I was never left hungry or broke. I changed into my ballers with a tank top and watched "The Amazing World of Gumball". I was so into the show laughing and all until I heard the oven timer go off and the doorbell ring. I paused for a second because my mother had a key so she wouldn't have to knock and I don't know anyone around here so who would be knocking on my door. I opened the door and stood in shock, it was the boy from this morning. I allowed him to come in and told him he could sit down while I went to the kitchen. I made some fries and chicken nuggets but you would have thought that I had planned to share because I made a lot. Just as I was getting my juice out of the fridge, he walked up to me and grabbed my hand and scared the crap out of me. "Really boy?" I said pushing him in his chest.

"Sorry cutie. Damn, you really gonna eat all of that" he said with the cutest smile

"Yea eventually, but I mean I can share" I said getting another plate out of the cabinet

"You are wastin' plates just put it all on yours and we can share " he said seriously

Once we got all of our food out of the kitchen we sat on the couch and started to enjoy the show together. He started to dose and I allowed it. He is just so cute but I know he can't be mine. I mean I don't want him to be mine. I don't know anything about him and though I said I want a change, maybe this is too much of a change. In my mind there is all of these thoughts now...."Should I wake him up? Should I let him stay? What made him come over here? Is he really sleep? What should I do now? Could there be a relationship? Does he have a girlfriend? Where does he live? And with those thoughts I began to get tired and just decided to take a short nap also.

Sooooooooooooo What do y'all think? Just give me atleast 2 comments and 4 votes to let me know what y'all think!
