Broken Promises

Chapter 3

Jaxson

"Alright class so I am passing out the assignment on your desk...choose your partners and begin the first step to the assignment." Ms.B said.

I was sleep. I know I know you like how come you always sleep but bruh let me tell you my excuse is valid, I promise. Laniyah has sleep apnea and she has to have someone check on her every two hours and my mom works nights so guess who has to do it. Im waiting..... Exactly I do. So... sometimes she does stop breathing so I have to go get the machine ,in which I call "da hook-up", and wait until she starts breathing again which is what happened last night.

Flashback

Wank Wank wank

I rolled out of my bed and walked across my room to my blaring alarm.

I have my alarm clock across my room now positioned on my desk, because if it was on my night stand, I would turn it off in my sleep and never get up so at least this enables me to actually stand up.

I slapped the circle button on the top of the little box and then glanced at the bright red numbers that registered in my head at 2:30.

I shuffled out of my room while trying to sleep on my gym shorts. Excuse a n*gga but i get hot and i sleep in my draws.

When I got to Niyahs door with emoji stickers plastered on it. I opened it and leaned in to see she had've slipped off her special pillow that was designed to keep her elevated so the air could get in and out of her lungs properly.

I jumped and bolted to her and laid my hand on her chest. I waited for it to rise but nothing. I hoped she hadn't been like that for too long.

"Damn." I went in her closet and picked up the bulky beige box and dropped it on the floor by her bed. I took the power cord and jammed it in the socket ,well i tried i couldnt see it. I hoped up and and took one long leap and lean to flick on the switch. Then i went and plugged in the power cord and then felt for the dials on the box . I couldnt read the words because i left my glasses in my room but by now this was my fifth time doing this so i remember which dials to turn by now without my proper vison. Then i took the silicone mask and put it over Niyahs mouth. then I sat her up on her pillow like she was suppose to be already and after a minute or too ,her chest started rising and falling by the force of the machines air.

I scooted across from her bed.My back and head, to the turqoise wall with my legs laying out in front of me.

After about 20 minutes ,I started hearing Niyah inhaling deeply .It was shaky and sounded nearly painful. She jolted and grabbed her chest abruptly and sat up in the position you would do at crunch but instead of using her abdominnual muscles she supported her self with one elbow. She leaned over the edge of her bed and coughed for 5 minutes and then laid back into her bed on the special pillow holding her head as if she had a migraine.

She knew I was in her presence but remained quiet. I stood up slowly. I unplugged 'da hook-up' and wrapped up the cords and put them back in her closet. I walked to her door way and look back to see her already looking at me.

"You good?" was i said.

She nodded. With that i flipped of her light and shut her door.I shuffled back down the hall and slid into my room and immediatly dropped my shorts. My clock read 3:07 am so i reset my alarm for 5:07.

I army rolled back into my bed and grabbed my phone off the night stand. It displayed that is was fully charged. I unlocked it and rolled through my apps and tapped the Instagram icon. I scrolled down and down until I dozed off.

end of flashback

I heard people shuffle around and began chattering amongst themselves. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head up and moved my hood back a little. A pale white girl with jet black curly hair caught my eye. Her eyes said follow ,so naturally my eyes did ,as her irises darted toward the front of the class. I turned my head and saw my teacher scowling. She pointed her left index finger toward me and curled it toward herself.

I sent her a bored look and then sat up and leaned back in my chair. She thought I was going to run up to her and beg for her forgiveness but guess what? She thought wrong.

I rubbed my face and adjusted my eyes to the florescent lighting. I took in my surroundings. All of my classmates were paired up with the creative writing students and going over notes on their identical papers.

I leaned over and caressed ,the girls leg who woke me up. The sudden touch caused her to jump a little. She swiviled her head towards me and looked angry.Her eyes were green and a fiery look expressed her emotion. I turned on my signature eye look. I titled my head and softened my eyes and forced concern and gentleness through them. Her reaction was priceless her face went from anger to worry.

"Hey...." I paused forgeting her name.

"Al-allie" she said looking down at me. She was sitting on top of the desk next to me and i was leaning on mine she she had to look down.

"Hey Allie ,i was wondering if you could let me borrow your notes ,i was just sleep ,obviously becuase your beautiful self just woke me up." I said.

I looked down and pretended to be bashful then looked back at her staring at me falling even more deeper into my spell.

" The irony I thought the guy was suppose to wake up the beauty," I traced circles on her hand and i smirked ,"but you know I need those notes so I wont get detention for sleeping because I have to pick up my little sister and can't keep her waiting,but I understand if you dont want to." I abruptly stopped my finger circles and stood with a loud sigh.

I heard her partner trying to convince little miss Allie to ignore me . Allie disobeyed and grabbed her notes and shoved it out to me.

"Here. I totally understand just if you could give them back..." she said sweetly.

I nodded.

"Fo sho angel." I grabbed the paper and winked at her.

I turned and strutted up the aisle and dodged my classmates. I walked up to Ms.B and said yes ma'am. She completly forgot she called me up there because the time had passed. So I took advantage of her memory loss and said I didnt have a partner. She said that was fine because there would be a student returning and they would need a partner. So I went and chilled by the door and waited for my partner. I was currently taking pictures of Allie's notes on my phone when the door jerked open. The entire class turned because of the loud creaks. Then she walked in. Alea.

"Ms. Montgomery ,how nice of you to join us. Come receive this project paper and go meet your partner by the door." The creative writing teacher said.

Alea then turned toward the door and noticed me. Her eyes smiled but her face remained blank. She was staring me, just as ,me ,her. It was intense like her eyes were speaking but I couldnt read it and I forced my eyes to say "what?" repeatedly. Her eyebrows raised for a quick second then she broke our stare connection as her eyelashes clasped. She turned and walked to Ms.B and her teacher.

I examined her. She looked rough. Her clothes were wrinkled and her curly hair was poofy and layed on the sides of her ears. I watched as she gestered and moved her hands while she talked. The suddenly she walked towards me and said

"I got permission for us to work in the library ,lets go." she said coldly avoiding eye contact.

I hoped of the wooden desks and trailed behind her out of the classroom. Catching a few swift glances at her behind. Thats all though.
