She Stay Quiet, She Play Smart

Peer Pressure

"Deslyn," I turned around to see a tall figure standing there with an unreadable expression. Surprisingly, we were at the party in a room by ourselves.

My eyes darted around the room, trying to recognize my surroundings. "Dre?" I was so confused. How did I get here?

As he stepped closer, it was definitely Dre. He said nothing and stepped closer to me, holding both my hands to pull me closer to him. My heartbeat increased very quickly after he said words that sent chills down my spine that could've made my knees buckle.

"I want you..."

He lifted my chin up and leaned in for a kiss before a violent shaking awoke me.

"Deslyn! Wake your ass up."

Airelle was standing next to my bed with a hand on her hip. The hell? How she got in here?

"How you got in my house?!" I propped myself on my elbow, yawning and stretching.

"It's called a car and a key. Don't forget I have a key to your house."

"...Creep."

She rolled her eyes at my comment and picked up her phone.

"You need to get up and get ready, we going get lunch."

"Okay. I had a dream about Dre, and it was weird because I never have dreams about him." I got out my bed and went to the bathroom to do the regular morning routine. Brush teeth, wash face, do makeup...

"Ummhmm. What happened?"

"Well we were about to kiss but then you woke me up." I gave her an agitated glare for a second.

"Oh my bad.." She smiled at her phone. "Guess what though?"

"You and Tre official?"

"Yep."

"Aww!" I was happy for her, the were like the perfect couple. Nobody really knew their business. Well I did. Their relationship isn't romance based. They're always making eachother laugh and they've gained each other's trust easily. I was a bit jealous, but I would never let that get inbetween anything. "When did this happen?"

"Yesterday. We kissed and it was just...Yes lawd!" We both laughed as I got dressed. I put on a pastel pink skater skirt with a white lace crop top and some Jeffrey Campell lace lita heels. I grabbed my purse and headed out the door.

"Bye Mom I'm going out to eat with Airelle, I'll be back later!"

We entered the hibachi restaurant as the hostess seated us. I picked up the menu before my phone buzzed. We both saw it was from Dre.

"Mmph." She raised her eyebrows and looked at her menu. I read the the text. hey baee

I put my phone down. We not even together, and why does he all of a sudden show interest of me?

"What you said?"

"Didn't reply."

"Why not?" A frown appeared on her face.

I sighed. "I don't know... All this time I been liking him and he all of a sudden like me? That's kinda weird. Remember in 8th grade you talked to Tre about Dre going out with me, and he said 'probably in high school.' You ever noticed how skinny girls gain weight in high school, just the way boys like it? And thick girls turn out to be big? He could only likes girls for their body.."

It's a shame that I've been liking him for so long, I probably wouldn't even care. If you had a chance to have the person you've been liking since 8th grade, you would probably understand.

"I say forget him. I've been telling you that he was no good and you're better off with Isaiah."

"I knowwww...But I've been liking him for so long I've grew attached to liking him and it's like I really can't stop, as hard as I try. I've been waiting for the day that I wake up and say, 'I don't like Dre anymore.' But the chance of that happening is so small." I exhaled loudly and continued reading the menu.

"The best thing to do is tell him how to really feel. And get them answers. If that doesn't work, liking him still won't help. There would have to be a way for you to let go.."

"Yeah, I guess."

It's Monday. Oh boy. Me and Airelle got to school earlier than we usually do, and all of our friends were at the table for some reason.

"What yall doing?" I was Kendyll with my eyebrows in a knot.

"They playing this stupid ass game to see which two people can go the farthest."

"Farthest?"

"Yes. Kristina and Anthony in the lead so far, she was giving a nigga head and shit."

"Hell naw... This game gon get shut down faster than Lil Mama music career."

Airelle and Kendyll bust out laughing almost into tears. Seriously though, in school?!

We went over to the table to a big commotion of people deciding who going next.

Before I knew it, me and Dre were pushed into the middle of the circle, and everyone started cheering. Shit, shit, shit, shit! I'm not a hoe! I'm too good to do stuff like this! I'm pure! My hands started shaking and I began to breath heavily. Dre looked at me like he was waiting.

"I don't really care, me." He put his hands in his pockets and I raised my eyebrows. Why Kendyll and Airelle not dragging me away?

"Just give it a try!" Airelle told me in my ear. Is she seriously leading me on?

I make too many stupid decisions, this one can't be as bad...
