Love Is Blind

Chapter 3

I woke up super early that Sunday morning because my mom likes going to early service at church. The whole 2 hours we were there my mind was in the wrong place. All I was thinking about was Dante. When church was over we went straight home to cook because my family always has Sunday dinner & they have it at my place because they all love my moms cooking.    

I love when Sundays come because I get to see my favorite cousin Dayandra. Other than Novisha she's the only other person I'll sit and tell everything to. Bad thing is she doesn't have a phone so after a whole week I had a whole lot to say.      

I told her about the mall yesterday and all about me and Dante's date. She was looking even more shocked than Novisha was sounding over the phone when I told her last night.    

See Dayandra is a lot more like me. We're both real shy when it comes to talking to boys. But I had a little help hanging out with Novisha, I kind of started to break out of my shell & hopefully it happens for Dayandra too.    

After Sunday lunch was done we ate then our moms dropped us off at staples gave us some money and told us to get everything on the list we needed. Dayandra started asking about about Dante so I decided to call him and see what he was up to.    

"Hey Dante."  

  "Wassup Kendra, wyd?" He asked.    

"Nothing much doing a little school shopping, and you?"    

"Playing the Xbox. This game is mad hard." He said.    

"What game is you playing?" I asked.  

  "Basketball, 2k13."    

"Oh I know that game, I play it with my cousin all the time, I bet I can beat you." I laughed.    

"If so I'm gon need for you to give me some pointers." He said as he laughed too.  

  "Anytime." I said. My mom came pulling up so I tld him I had to go and that I'll and ended our call. If my mom catches me on the phone with a boy she might ground me then I'll never be able to leave the house or see him again.    

The first day of school is tomorrow and we were both excited. Dayandra told me so many stories about her high school experience. She's a Junior so I'll barely get to see her but she was cool with driving me home everyday. When I got home first thing I did was get my book bag together & go over my class schedule, then went to sleep. I didn't want to get on any of the teachers side by being late.    

I woke up the next morning to my screaming alarm clock feeling good. This was the first time in a long time I was happy to be going to school. I showered and then started going thru my closet looking for something cute to wear because I forgot to pick out clothes last night.    

After 10 minutes of searching I put on a cute Hollister top and some jeans ate a banana and was out the door. As I'm waiting by the bus stop I start to reminisce about my kiss with Dante the night before. This was the exact spot that it had happened.    

The bus finally arrived and I get on the bus cheesing hard as hell, nobody was going to ruin this day for me. I sit in my favorite seat by the window 2 seats back from the front. Charles, this boy I've known since elementary sat in the seat behind me. He's one of the few boys I don't have a problem talking to.    

"Why you so happy Ms. Styles?" He asked leaning over the seat.    

"I had a great weekend that's all." I replied with a smile. He gets up and sits in the seat next to me.     "Word? What you do?" He asked.    

"None of your business now take your nosey behind back to your seat." I said and we both started laughing because we both know I'm not even mean like that.    

"But foreal what did you do?" He asked now getting a serious face.    

" I went on a date thats all." He looks away then looks back at me.    

"What you do on your date?"    

"Went to the movies, why are you acting so strange?" I asked because he was. He was acting a little different then he was a few minutes ago  

  "No reason." He says then he gets up and goes back to his seat. The bus finally gets us to school and I go straight to my first period class. Charles had 1st period with me and usually sits by me in whatever class we had together but this time he went and sat in the back. I don't know what his issue was but like I said nothing is going to ruin my day.    

After class I went to my locker and Novisha was standing there with the biggest grin I've ever seen. It made me laugh so hard.    

"What you smiling so hard for" I asked still laughing at her.  

  "Oh nothing. So how was your first kiss with a boy?" She asks.    

"It was not my first kiss. But it was amazing!" I said getting a happy smile thining about it.    

"You think that was amazing, wait to you start having sex." She said then I smacked her arm and looked at her crazy. "What? I was just kidding, but you act like its never going to happen."     "Its not happening anytime soon plus I just met this guy."    

We rush to 2nd period which we both had together. "So when is your next date?" Novisha asks. I was wondering the same thing.    

"I dont know. We spoke last night but I had to rush off the phone so we never discussed that."     "Well I think next time we should go on a double date so that I can see what this guy is like." She says. I just laughed.    

"Sure. I'll ask him later."    

At lunch me, Novisha and Dayandra meet up for lunch and told each other about our new classes, what teachers we liked and disliked and all the cute boys we saw. Charles ignored me but I just took it as him being jealous.    

"Whats up with him?" Novisha asks while she watch Charles walk past acting like he didnt see me.     "I don't know. He's been acting funny with me every since I told him about my date on Saturday." I answered.  

  "Maybe he liked you." Dayandra said joking.    

"No. He's my friend." I blushed. I never saw Charles in that way but now that I think of it he is kind of cute.    

We talked about random crazy things for the rest of lunch then I headed to 3rd period. As I walked to take a seat I saw a familar face but didnt want to stare to hard and catch his attention. He looked up at me as I was about to turn my head, it was Dante. I couldnt believe he was in my class or that he was even at the same school as me.    

When he noticed who I was he got up and came and gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. Charles walked in right as that was happening and walked past and pushed past us with a attitude. I rolled my eyes and took a seat next to where Dante was sitting.    

"You didnt tell me you were going to be going to my school." I said.  

  "You never asked." He replied. But this my first year here and I don't know nobody so I'm glad you here." He said. I smiled.    

"Sorry about rushing off the phone yesterday, my mom was picking me and my cousin Dayandra up and she would have went crazy if she knew I was on the phone with a boy."    

"Its ok cutie I understand." He responded making me smile again. For the whole 3rd hour it was real hard for me to keep focus. I was to busy looking at Dante and occassionally back at Charles who I can feel staring at the 2 of us hard.    

The bell finally rang and Dante met me before I got on the bus. "Hey do I get a hug before you go?" He asked grabbing me by my hand. I moved in close and hugged him around his neck then pulled away after we hugged for about 5 seconds.    

"You like your first day?" I asked.    

"No I loved it because you were here." He made me blush again. "I'm going to call you later ok. I really want you to go out with me again so I'm giving you a few hours to think about it. Be expecting my call cutie ok." He kissed my cheek then went and got on his bus. I got on my sitting in the 2nd seat from the back with the same smile I had when I was sitting here this morning.
