The next few months were great. People thought Roland and I were dating. We began to get closer and closer together. That was until he started dating. I was extremely jealous that he was happy with his relationships and I was nowhere near happy with mine. He dated people and I was jealous because he wasn't with me. I know I was in a relationship but I was in a relationship with the wrong person. So one day we were in the cafeteria for lunch. We were sitting at the table talking and Roland got up to buy some powerade. He came back to the table and I tried to take the powerade from him because he bought two. I continuously kept trying to grab it and grab it. He eventually told me it was for his girlfriend Destiny. After the whole mood changed.
"Symone stop it's for Destiny", he said still trying to keep the powerade away from me.
" It's not like she deserves anything anyway".
By this time we were sitting down again and he had a bag of chips. He sat there, gave me this evil ass glare, stood up, and threw the chips at me and walked out of the cafeteria. I sat there with one of my friends shocked. The bell finally rung for us to go back to class and by this time I was pissed. I walked back to class and completely ignored him. Our teacher asked him where I was and he told her he didn't know and didn't care where I was. When I walked into the classroom everyone knew we were mad at each other. When I came in our teacher asked us what was wrong and why we weren't talking to each other. We started yelling at each other and cussing, the whole class wanted to know what was up with us. So our teacher took us out of class one at a time to get both of our sides of the story. First she told Roland to admit to liking me which he did and she told me to do the same thing. He admitted it I didn't. Why? because I had a boyfriend I was in love with, or at least I thought I was. Eventually I admitted it but I didn't mean it. We made up and were bestfriends again and he broke up with Destiny after I told him how I felt about it. A few weeks passed and it was prom time. Terrance and I decided I would go to his prom at Cross Keys. I was really excited about it because it was my first prom. We agreed that we would wear red and white. It comes time to buy prom tickets and he tells me that he was going with someone else because his mom made him. Saying I was pissed off is a complete understatement. I broke up with him that night and the urge to kill myself was stronger than before. I planned on killing myself a few days later. The next day came and I was still mad as hell. So I walked up to my locker ( I was sharing with Roland ) and I asked him the best question I've asked anyone my whole seventeen years of life.
"Do you wanna go to prom with me"?.
"Yeah sure, what color are we wearing"?, he asked.
"I don't yet I'll figure it out though but thank you". I said.
"For what"?
"I'll tell you later", I replied.
So lunch came around and I told him what happened between Terrance and I . He was mad at him too and surprised that he would do that to me. So he asked me if I was ok and I told him yes even though I wasn't. A couple days pass and prom is a week away. I found my dress and I bought some shoes. We were wearing purple and black. Then prom night had approached us. Roland and I got closer that night, but I didn't know that night would change my life forever.
