Unacceptance

Cause I felt bad

I was in the last class of the day. We already had a history assignment.

"Okay students pick a partner. That will be your partner for the rest of this semester. "

Everyone picked a partner and I just looked around. When no one picked me after 2 minutes I sat down and put my face in my My arms on the desk.

"Hey. " a small tap on my arm made be look up to this girl. Her hair was curly. You can tell she was latina.

"Want to be my partner? "

"Okay"

She sat by me and stared at me.

Tamera's POV

I sat by this kid that was gonna be my partner for the rest of this semester. I choosed him because I saw no one else did.

"What did you say your name was? "

"Christopher. You? "

"Tamera. But you can call me Tammy"

"Okay Great. "

"So what president you wanna work on? "

"I was thinking about George Washington. "

"Common. Basic. Okay. "

"Well we can choose a different-

"No that's fine. You have a kik?"

"A What?"

"Nevermind. Can I come over your house today? "

It was after school and I was putting my books in my locker.

"Meraa, what's up? Are you busy afterschool? "

"It's after school. And yes. Im busy. "

It was one of my elementary friends, Johnny. Well, we not friends no more. He's a sophomore and I'm a freshman. He thought it would ruin whatever shitty reputation he has out here.

"Well you know the dance is coming up right? Next week? "

"The welcome back to school dance? I'll pass "

"That's too bad I was gonna ask you would you go with me. "

"Why?"

"Well actually cause you pretty. "

"That's it? Cause I'm pretty? "

"Well I'm not seeing nothing else interesting about you. "

"Well I'm busy"

Chris walked up and looked at Johnny.

"This your little friend? " Johnny said pointing at him.

"History partner."

"You're that guy from in lunch "

Johnny looked at him and then me.

"Mera let me know what you say. You got my number. "

He left. I turned to Chris.

"What did he do to you in the lunch room? "

-

We got to Chris's house and his mom was smoking on the couch.

"Mom this is my history partner-

"That's nice go play play."

He looked at me with a sad look and took he to his room.

"So why you wanted to come to my house? "

"Cause I'm locked out mines and didn't want my dad to think you were my boyfriend. "

"Reasonable. "

"I'm joking. I felt bad no one picked you and everyone is being mean to you. "

"You felt bad? "

He took off his shoes and button up shirt. He had a nice body. Damn...

"Yeah I mean you are kinda weird"

"I'm not weird... I'm friendly and nice"

I walked to his closet.

"You don't have any.. good clothes?"

"Yes my suspenders are my favorite."

This kid Been in this room to long.

"You going to that dance that gentlemen asked you? " he said changing.

"Not with him..."

"Yeah he's kinda jerkish"

"So are we Going to get started? "

"You're the only child? "

"Yes. Why are you asking me these questions? "

"Friends need to get to know eachother right? "

"Well yeah I guess. "

She sat on my bed and looked around. I wanna ask her to the dance.

"Tammy.. would you like to go to the dance with me? "

"With you? What do you plan on wearing? "

"A suit. "

"No no no. If you're going with me you need to look good. It's casual not formal . I'll go but see me after school again tomorrow. "

"what about our project!"

She got up and left.
