Young Love & Deceit

One

It was a cool night, the moon was full and its was probably past my curfew. But I didn't care, I was with Jameal and we were laughing, screaming, and running loudly through the neighborhood, hand in hand.  It was perfect, he's perfect, we're perfect! We were walking, holding hands and laughing.

"What?! Jameal, why are you staring at me like that?" I said laughing at him a little bit.

"Did you have a good time?" he said pulling me closer and putting his arm around my waist.

"With you? Ummmm no." i said saracastically.

"What???" he said saracastically with me.

"Im just kidding!" I hugged him.

"I knew u were." he hugged me back.

"I always have a good time with you, so why are you asking?!" i replyed putting my arms around his neck.

"It's just I dont like that u always have to lie to your brother and sneak out your house to see me!! You know your brother doesn't like me, and if he were to catch u with me-" he said stopping.

"No, no, no, no! Let's not talk about my brother okay?" i said taking my phone out and looking at the time," Oh shoot!"

"What?" he said looking at my phone.

"I was suppose to be home an hour ago, C is going to kill me! Babe i gotta go! I'll text u when i get home, if he doesn't kill me first!"i said pecking Jameal on the cheek then running away.

"Bye bae!" he yelled back as i ran down the block.

______________ 10 minutes later ________________

I snuck back into my house through my bedroom window relieved, my lights were off and my door was closed which meant my older brother Christopher didn't come in my room and i was in the clear. At least that's what i thought. Because as soon as i close my window and i exhaled, i heard two claps and my lights came on, and there was my brother sitting on my bed.

"Where you been?" Christopher asked me.

"Why you in my room?" i asked trying to change the subject.

"Don't change the subject, i asked you a question." He stood up, and walked over to my window and locked it." Where have you been?" I looked him in the eyes, and then he yelled at me. "ANSWER ME! Don't lie either."

"Don't raise your voice at me." i said calmly, while taking my off my bag, and putting my jacket away. " i was out with some friends, and i lost track of time."

"And by friends, you mean friend. And by friend, you mean Jameal Ross. I told you that i don't want you to be with that kid."

"I don't understand." i said crossing my arms.

"What is there not to understand?" he said ammused.

"You have never given me a good reason not to be with him!  Because his father's a drug dealer? Is there a reason why i shouldn't be with him?" i said raising my voice at him.

"YES!" he said raisng his voice 

"WHAT IS IT?!" i yelled. 

"BECUASE- you wouldn't understand..." he begins and then hesitates to finish. "Anyway that's not my point-" he said using hand gestures.

"You see?!" i said fustrated."You can never give me a good reason not to be with him!!!"

He pretends to ignore what i said, even though he cleary heard what i said because i yelled it.

"You were suppose to be in this house at eight doing homework or something. You came in at 9:10, thats an hour and ten minutes passed your curfew." he said fustrated with me.

"Ugggghhhh. Here, i had english and social studies, and i have a test in two days." i said giving Christopher my homework." So tomorrow u have to help me study." i got my phone out my bag, and laid on my bed.

He looked annoyed with me, and began walking out of the room then turned around."Your grounded for two days."

"WHAT?!" i yelled quickly sitting up in my bed.

"Yup, which means you come straight home right after school, and you cant leave the house unless i say it's okay or i go with you." he said leaving my room.

"That's not fair C, are you serious?!" i yelled. 

"Well once you start listening!!!" he yelled back from the hallway.

He got me so tight just now. I really can't stand when he does that, and plus im not gonna listen anyway. i just grabbed my headphones, laid back down, and plugged them into my phone, started listening to music, and began texting Jameal.
