Chapter Six

Janae's POV

To be honest, yesterday was weird as fuck. I don't know why I felt so safe around him and opened myself up to him. I barely know him like that.

He better not tell anyone about me dancing, they don't need to know. I'm more comfortable with the fact that I'm basically invisible, I hate a lot of attention. If he tells people, they'll ask me to dance for them. That's something I don't do. I only let the people I trust get to know the real me, not strangers. I decided to text him.

"Hey" I said, it took him a few minutes to reply.

"Wassup?"

"Please don't tell anyone about me dancing, I really don't want people to know." I replied.

I waited for a few minutes for him to reply, until my phone began to vibrate
vigorously. I looked down to see that it was him calling me.

I answered. "Hello?"

"So explain to me exactly why people can't know about your talent? What's so bad about it? It's not embarrassing, you make it seem like you out here eating booty or some shit. Now, that's something nobody should know about." He said.

"I just don't want people to know. They'll want to see me dance in front of crowds and everything. I can't do that, I have really bad stage fright." I said.

"The only way to get over your fears is to face them head on. You got this ma." He said reassuringly.

"I don't know. I've always been bad with crowds. Ever since I was little. I can barely give a presentation in class." I replied.

"Stop doubting yourself, I believe in you." He replied.

"Why are you being so nice to me? Are you looking for something from me? I'll let you know now, I'm not the one." I said. Just because we danced together, that doesn't mean anything. I'm still the little shy girl.

"Why can't I be nice to one girl? Females always thinking I wanna smash because I'm being nice to them. What's wrong with being genuine towards people?" He said getting irritated.

"It's because your one of those boys. Just like all these other niggas out here, you only want one thing. You showed me that when you had me up against that tree." I retorted.

"Don't judge me because of what you hear. Get to know a nigga first." He said and hung up angrily.

I don't know why I just did that. He can't deny what I said though. If a boy, who gets all the bitches, comes on to you like he did me, what would you think?

I sighed as I put my phone down. I just don't want to make the same mistake that I made with Jay. I don't wanna trust him, only to get hurt in the end.

The Next Day

"I can't believe school's about to start up again." I groaned.

"Good, yo black ass needs to get your education." My mom said.

"I'm not ready to go back yet. Ma, can I tell you something?" I asked.

"You don't even have to ask, I'm your mama. You can tell me anything." She said.

"I know. So, yesterday I was talking to Chris and I told him he's like all these other boys out here. They only want one thing." I said.

"I mean that's the truth but don't shut him out because of that. Learn to open up, you don't have to put up a wall all the time. You can let go sometimes baby."

"It's not that easy Mama. After what I went through with Jay, I don't think I can let go." I replied

"Child, I know it's not easy. Your father did me wrong, he proved to me that he's like all these other no good ass niggas out here. I didn't let that cloud my judgement whenever another man wanted to come into my life. You need to apologize to that boy." She replied.

"I guess." I said as I sighed.

Here's chapter six. I'm sorry it's so short and how it took me extremely long to update. These past few weeks have been rough on me, so I haven't updated. I am really sorry. Chapter seven will most definitely be longer than this one.
