*Jhene
After lunch and constant laughs, I had to go to my 3rd period which is ROTC.
"What class you have next?" Kristen asked me as she threw her trash away.
"ROTC drill team." I told her whipping lent off of my shirt.
"Oh I have cooking." She frowned. Aw.
"Well I have art after that." I told her as if it would make a difference
"Me too bro we hecka dope" she smiled
"You hit!" I laughed
"Oh shut up Jhene." She hit me softly
"Ladies you need to get to class." A nearby teacher instructed
"Kay bye Jhene." Kristen waved
"Bye Kris." I said. I don't know where that came from. That giving people cute nick names crap isn't Jhene Marie, so I really don't know what was going on. Nonetheless I asked some stranger to show me where the ROTC room was located.
I knocked softly on the door. That bomb sub sandwich got your girl sleepy.
A tall brown skinned guy opened the door in an all blue uniform with his waves on swim. All in all he looked around my age. He smiled sweetly at me before opening the door wider so that I could come in. "Hi, I'm Jhene Harris" I introduced myself feeling like it's the respectfully thing to do.
"Welcome Ms. Jhene I'm Derrick the student teacher" he extended his hand which I firmly shook.
I searched the room to see everybody looking at me , until I reached 2 familiar goofy smiles. Austin and Chris...or maybe it's his bipolar twin 'brown'.
"Well you can have a seat, I'll be back with a uniform for you." He sent me another warm smile that I found myself kind of lost in.
"Hi I'm Jhene Harris the new student from New York son!" I heard someone copy me
"Really brown?!" I raised a perfectly arched eyebrow
"Oh dawg you brown now!" Austin laughed
"Do we have to keep going through this Jhene?, I thought we were friends" he said with that smile I know all too well. God he so....just lord take the wheel.
"We are, but friends don't copy other friends" I sat next to him and his other friends that looked at me like I was some type of meat.
"Okay me sorry" he smiled with his freckles visible
"Aw OMG Chris you have cute freckles!" I found myself gushing and pinching his chubby cheeks
"Aye girl!" He slapped my hand away
"Stop! You look so cute" I pinched his cheeks again
"I ain't cute...I'm sexy girl get that right." He slapped my hands away again with his sneaky grin painted onto his face.
"See brown you just had to mess up the mood." I rolled my eyes calling him by his bipolar nick name
"Man you tripping Brooklyn" he smiled at me
"Whatever yo. Hello baby Austin?" I said to Austin..did I mention he's my favorite? Yeah well he's my favorite.
"Hi you doing Jhene?" He asked smoothly. I swear him and Chris were similar in so many ways, they must be really close friends.
"I'm chilling you dig?" I stated sitting back my seat looking at the people in the class. Half of them were guys and a handful of girls. Everyone were decked out in their blue uniforms looking like they are proud to rep their country. Chris and Austin started talking with their friends while I texted Ryan about his wrongs he just did no longer than an hour ago. No matter how much we fight I have mad love for him...I guess you could say I WAS dangerously in love with him, but just the little things he does drives me crazy. I love Ryan...but I'm not IN love with him, I just think he has some crazy hold on me that keeps pulling me back. Derrick or Sir derrick whatever he wants to be called came back with my uniform, I excused myself to the girls locker room changing into my uniform placing my things neatly into the small locker they provide for us, and heading back into the main training room. All eyes were on me, I felt like they thought I was a mirror or something like they thought if they look at me long enough they would see their own reflection. I'm telling you when I snap on one of them for looking at me, they gone learn! I released my hair from the tight bun I had it leaving it in it's nature lion mane style. I went to my seat next to Chris feeling his eyes on me, him looking at me caused my body to heat up and blush. Why? I have no clue.
" we're about to march ladies line up!" Derrick yelled
I stood to my feet along with all the other girls....and boys? I could have swore he said ladies, Urm okay.
We turned to the left facing the door smoothly stepping on our left foot then right, left then right, so on and so fourth until we were outside on this field held with empty guns.
"Grab one ladies!" Derrick yelled. We all did as told, these things were heavy. Y'all prey for me.
****
After marching and all that good stuff we were allowed to go back inside and get cleaned up. Robyn sat by the door mugging me. Am I missing something?
"Hey babe?" She said
Is she talking to me? 'Cause I don't-
"Hey what you doing here?" Chris answered
Babe? As in...babe?
"I was board I wanted to be with my MAN" she said loudly looking at me causing giggles to leave my mouth. I thought she was with this breezy guy...and she's with Chris well okay then.
My phone vibrated in my hand, I viewed the text instantly heating up with blush.
Ryan:* I know you mad at me, but don't be. I'll tell you why I got suspended later on tonight when I call you, but I don't want you worrying about that right now. It's about you, today is about you so enjoy it and don't let me get in the way of that. Any way I got a job to do therefore I'm turning my phone off I hope you read this and pick up when I call.
Love you Jhene don't forget big head Lol.
You see what I mean? He could do something stupid, then be sweet in a total of minutes. Something's always pulling me back.
