It's the summer time now and Terrance and I are still dating. So one day my family wanted to meet with him in person and talk to him about our relationship. It went ok and when one of my older sisters and mom left to go to the store, it was just Terrance, my dad and I at the house. My dad went into his room to watch tv while Terrance an di stayed in the living room and talked on the couch. Nothing really happened. We made out and he stuck his hand down my pants. Eventually he had to leave which sucked. The next few days were great. One day I invited him over to my house for a family gathering. He said he would come and I was super excited about hanging out with me. The day comes and he texts me asking for my address. I send it to him and wait anxiously for him to arrive. I check on him to see where he is and he asks me questions about what my house looks like and things. I described it to him but then what he said next made my mood change. I got a text from him saying that his dad couldn't find the house so they were going home and he wasn't coming. I literally cried in the hallway fixed my face and took a selfie. I was over it when he texted me. Even though I was upset I still ate and still had fun with my family. The weekend was over and I didn't see him that often after that. It was finally time to start school and my mom enrolled me into Dunwoody High School. Honestly I didn't want to go there. It would be my third high school in three years. On the first day I was really nervous. I wore this sleeveless dress with a blue jean vest and black sandals. It took us so long to get there because of the traffic but when we finally did I wanted to leave before my day started. My schedule consisted of math, history, rotc,,and English. By this time I'm a junior and meeting new people was gonna be an adventure. In R.O.T.C we had to introduce ourselves so I did. It was my second year in R.O.T.C and I started to like it even more. I made some new friends and that class went great. When I got to history we had to do the same thing. I'm a shy person but since I had to do earlier that day in 1st period doing it in 3rd wasn't that big of a deal to me. The whole class went around and introduced themselves. Then the bell rung signaling it was time for lunch. while I was walking I hear someone yelling behind me. I turned around to see what was going on and it was one of my classmates calling my name. Now at first I didn't know he was talking to me until he came right up to me. He asked me if I could buy him lunch at an attempt to flirt with me. Mind you I still had a boyfriend I was in love with. I looked at him and told him no. He thought it was funny so he continued to follow me all the way to the cafeteria.
"Can you please buy me lunch", he asked again.
"No I don't even know you like that", I said with a smile.
Eventually he got the point and stopped asking. The next day came and it was announced that some schedules were messed up and that they were changing some people around to be in their right classes. So I'm sitting in R.O.T.C doing the assigned book work and guess who walked in? Yep the guy from the other day. I couldn't stop looking at him as he was walking passed me. My heart started beating super fast but I couldn't understand why. I ignored the loud beating sound and continued to do my work. He went up to the teacher, showed him his new schedule and explained to him why they switched his classes. I was listening the whole time even though I was working. He smelled nice and his accent (oh my lawd). It was the sexiest thing I've ever heard in my life. I still had a boyfriend though so I couldn't think about that right then. I ignored it and kept working. That is until he walked past me. He smelt like heaven and I didn't know if I should tell him he smelled nice or if I just kept it to myself. I didn't want to be a weirdo so I kept it to myself. I was working when he sat right behind me. My pulse quickened and my heart started beating even faster than usual. So he sits down behind me then all of a sudden I feel someone tap me on my shoulder. I felt something but I couldn't quite figure out what it was but I turned around anyway. I couldn't believe what I saw. He had the most beautiful light brown eyes. It took me a while to realize I had the book in my hand but I wasn't letting go of it when he was trying o take it. I couldn't stop staring into them but I had to unfortunately.
"Thank you", he said.
"You're welcome", I replied back.
"Symone isn't it"?.
"Yes I'm in your history class".
"Hi Roland", I said with a smile.
The look on his face told me he didn't think I would remember his name. The thing was I didn't remember his name, I looked at his paper but he didn't need to know that. We talked for a little bit while we worked and he made me smile the whole time which was weird. Since I came to Georgia none of my smiles had been real until now while talking to him. It felt right. There was a social for R.O.T.C coming up that Thursday and he wanted to know if I was going.
"Yes I am, are you"?, I asked hoping he would say yes.
"I'll go if you go", he said.
That wasn't the answer I was hoping for but it worked so I told him yes. The day the social came I didn't know it would bring us closer together.
