Melanin Beauty

chapter 22

M: Alexis
" I'll get you all patched up, no more climbing trees, you hear me" I spoke as I patted Leo on the stomach signaling for him to get up.

He licked my face and ran along.

I stood up. Feeling a presence I slowly turned around.

To stare at nothing but the back of the forest. I heavily sigh in relief. I turned back around and jumped, to see a tall boy about 5 yards from me.

I squinted my eyes to try to get a better vision. I started walking over to him. As he turned around and began running. I did the same.

He stopped at a cliff that had a body of water at the bottom of it.

I finally walked up to the mysterious person who had a hoodie covering his face.

I slowly raised my hands, I didn't want him to be afraid and I wanted to take precaution for my own safety. As soon as I touched the woolly fabric of his hoody. He quickly turned around and jumped off the cliff.

I gasped as I stood at the edge. I watched the body of water afraid that I would see some blood or that he would never come up from the water.

His head soon popped up as he stared at me for a brief moment and swam to the other side.

* DON... * DON... * DON... *DON

I was waken by my alarm clocked as I reached over and turned it off.

I heavily sighed before stretching. I really don't want to go to school today...

I stood up and walked in the bathroom. I began brushing my teeth. As a nervous feeling took over me. Words couldn't explain how scared, nervous, and anxious I was.

I was scared to meet new people I was scared of what they might say and think of me, and how I appeared to them. Nervous, nervous to go to a new school and find out what that public highschool life was about. But Anxious to see what is was about anxious to see new people.

" you up?" My mom asked as she came into my room.

" yea," I told her after I spitted out my mouthwash.

" you need to be out by 7:30" my mom warned me. As I grown.

" I know." I said irritated.

I removed my clothes and then I turned on some hot steamy water.

About twenty minutes later I got out and applied my face cream. I quickly put my hair into a big bun. Leaving a few stands out in the back and at the tip of my ears.

I walked back into my room and got out my outfit for the day. Me and Ya'ria was going to wear our black 100 outfit with our white Adidas.

I shook my head. As I remembered that I would probably see Tiara and most likely we would see each other at school or have a class together.

I gave her back all her stuff she gave me including the iPhone 5. But of course I reset it before I gave it back.

I'm now rocking the galaxy 6. I decided to pick up Ya'ria so we could walk up in the school like twins.

After I got dressed I did my makeup routine. Grabbed my all white and brown crochet bookbag.

And headed to the kitchen where my mom was cooking breakfast for herself simply because I didn't eat breakfast.

" I'm bout to go love you" I told my mom as I kissed her on her cheek.

Her and Raymond have decided to give each other a break but my mom still wears her engagement ring. My mom thought she needed space due to me and Tiara situation and how he accused me of jumping Tiara.
