"Okay class, have a good day" I said
The bell rang and all my students rushed out the door. All but one.
"Ms.Walker?"
"Yes Lola?" I say erasing the board.
"Is it okay if I stay for a little while? My older sister was supposed to pick me up but she texted and said she would be late"
"Sure, that's fine"
"Is there anything I can help with?"
"Actually yes, can you help me grade these tests you guys took" I smiled
"Yeah, sure" she took a seat beside me and got to work.
While working together we made small talk. Lola was one of the quiet students in my last period class. Though she was timid, she was smart and creative. She happened to be one of my favorite students.
"Looks like my sister is here. Thank you for letting me stay here Ms. Walker" she packed up her things.
"Anytime Lola" I say giving her one last look before she left my classroom.
As soon as Lola left, I packed my things walked out of Forest Hills High School. The cold hair hitting me making me tighten the grip on my trench coat. I got in my black 2009 Lexus and drove to the little apartment I call home.
I entered my apartment and was greeted with the warm smell of cinnamon and vanilla. My dog Torrez eagerly greeted me at the door. Smiling slightly, I picked her up, shutting the door behind me.I quickly changed into my comfort clothes and sat down at my desk.
I love writing poetry. It has always been a passion of mine. A few days ago, I found a scholarship worth $15,000. All you had to do was put together a poetry book and submit it. Since I was looking to go back to school, this was a great opportunity for me. The only problem was that today, I had writers block.
Normally, I never had writers block so this was something new to me. I needed some inspiration so I decided to walk to the nearby park. I looked at the clock and it read 12:07. I hoped no one would be at the park so that I could concentrate. I slipped on the closest pair of shoes near me which happened to be my brown Uggs. I grabbed my phone, keys, and notebook and walked out the door.
The cold New York air hit my face causing me to shiver a bit. The walk to the park was peaceful. I noticed many things I didn't notice during the day time. Like how all the lights glitter in the dark, and how only a few stars pop out under the moon.
I soon got to the park and sat in the bench. Minutes later, I saw a dark silhouette resembling a man approach me.
"Jessica? Is that you" the silhouette asked.
"No. Wrong person"
The man stepped into the light and I saw the most gorgeous man I'd ever come into contact with.
"Do you mind if I sit? I'm waitin' for a friend"
"Why not" I shrugged my shoulders
He sat down and began playing with his fingers. He glanced at me and tried to make conversation.
"So...watcha' doin' in the park in the middle on the night?" he asked
"I just need some inspiration" I mumbled
"Inspiration for what?"
"Haven't you ever heard not to talk to strangers. I could be dangerous you know" I smirked
"Girl, you know you ain't dangerous" he chuckled "plus, strangers can be friends" he winked.
"I guess so" I said.
We began to talk and I got to know a little bit about him. He was actually a pretty chill person.
"So what do you do for a living?" he asked
"I'm actually a high school teacher" I smiled
"Do you enjoy your job? Cause I know loads of people that hate being a teacher"
"No no no, I like being a teacher. I'm closer to my students age so I can relate to them"
"That's co-" he got interrupted by a woman who was yelling "Odell...Odell!"
I thought to myself
I've heard that name before. I just can't put my finger on where
When the woman saw us sitting on the bench, she rushed practically ran to my new friend.
"Hey baby, I missed you" she leaned in to give him a kiss.
He avoided her kiss, looked at me and said "I never caught your name..." waiting for me to tell him my name.
"Kameron. I'm guessing your name is Odell" I replied.
I glanced at the under dressed woman and she had an annoyed look on her face. She was giving me very noticeable stink eyes.
"You guessed right. Bye Kameron" he said before turning to walk away.
As he walked away, his "woman" turned towards me, giving me a full on glare, and ran to catch up with Odell.
"Bitches be crazy" I muttered.
