A Racer's Heart

6: Star Is What Happened

Sasha's P.O.V

My alarm goes off and I silently curse myself for forgetting to turn the alarm off for the weekend. I close my eyes again trying to doze off when my little brother comes into my room.

"Sissy, there's a big bad guy sitting on our steps. He said he'll blow our house down if you don't go talk to him." Kenny said pulling my sheets off of me. I check the time on my phone and see it's 7:00. Who the hell gets up at seven o'clock on a Saturday just because? I sigh and walk out of my room to open the door.
"You can't go open the door like that," Kenny said sitting on the barstool.
I look down at myself and notice I'm in a oversized t-shirt and no shorts. I go back up to my room to get some short shorts and rush back down stairs, feeling slightly bad for the person standing on the other side of the door having to wait so long. I open the door and see Hamilton leaning against the door.

"What are you doing here?" I say closing the door behind me leaving me cold in the early morning air.

"Hello to you too." He said pushing his hand through his hair. I watch him move closer to me and I immediately break out of the trance he used to have on me. I study his face and still see his eyes are dilated. I smell his breath and can tell he's drunk. "I need to tell you, I still love you."

"You're high." I say stepping away from him.

"I need you in my life, Sasha," he continues.

"And you're drunk. Leave," I say slowly backing up.

"You're my everything," he continues, pressing his body on mine.

"I said leave." I push him off of me and close the door. Locking it I tell Kenny to go to his room.

"YOU STILL LOVE ME!" Damien shouted.

I wait until i hear his car leave to let Kenny come back downstairs. I avoid all of Kenny's questions as i make us something to eat. I try to call my mom for the thousandth time this month but all i get is voicemail. I call out grandmother to check if our mother has been there. As usual, she hasn't. I put a toasted bagel half on each of our plates topping it off with a egg and cheese, but adding ham to his.

After we finish eating, i take a twenty from the daycare jar and start the journey with Kenny. I let him ride his tricycle because it's faster than having him walking besides me, plus it lets him seem like he's in charge. I drop him off and head back to my house to change into something comfortable. Since it's Saturday i'm going to the mall to look for some new clothes. I put on a beige crop top with matching sunglasses and denim shorts. I slid on some nude sandals and left.

At the mall, I went to the the food court because I wanted a Dr. Pepper. I was in line at Chick-fil-a when a to-die-for girl walked up besides me. I low-key checked her out and smiled to myself. I'm standing next to a fucking goddess. I turn to look at her again and she's high-key checking me out. I order my Dr. Pepper and step to the side to let her order. She orders a large fry and i can't not notice her sneaking glances at me. She stands over next to me to let the next person in line order and i make my move.

"So i haven't seen you around this part of town."

She bites her bottom lip and i try my hardest not to get turned on. "Seem's like you've been looking for me."

"Well if someone as cute as you are in my part of town, let's just say i know about it." I say picking up my Dr. Pepper.

"So this is your town?" She said arching her brow.

"You should know, you're standing in it."

She picks up her fries and comes back to standing next to me. "It appears i am? what are you going to do about it?"

I pick up one of her fries and laugh. "Nothing yet, but you'll have to come warm me up whenever i get cold."

"So i gotta be your cuddle buddy?" she said eating another fry. "If that's all you want than okay. For a second i thought you were going to say i would have to be your fuck buddy."

I stared at her and she was smirking. Oh she's smooth. "If you want to be my fuck buddy you have to prove yourself worthy of fucking." I say after taking a sip of my drink.

"Maybe you're not worthy of my fucking? Ever thought of that?" She said taking my cup.

I stop her and back her up against the wall. "You came into my territory, i decide yes or no."

She smirked. "I wouldn't be a hundred percent though."

"You'll be a hundred percent for me." I said before our lips interlocked. After a few seconds we pulled away for air and she smiled. "By the way i'm Sasha."

"Star."

"Sasha and Star. I like it." We kissed again and went to go look for outfits for each other.

We finally finish shopping and planned to meet up tomorrow over at my house when her dad picked her up. I asked her what school she went to and she said Greens Girls Academy. Wait i go to Greens Girls Academy. I smile like a complete idiot as i watch her ride down the road. I pick up my brother a few hours later and let's him order pizza. An art he's learned to master since our parents presence seems to be invisible. My mother picked up her stuff one day and never looked back and our dad is too busy with work to even attempt to make a relationship with us.

As I eat the pizza, i recap everything that happened in the last few hours. Star. Star is what happened, and i don't know if thats a good or bad thing.
