Tyrese

New Me

Tyrese
At the mall I got a few clothes and managed to make my way around town and back home.

I had a splitting headache.

This girl Jamile  is so unpredictable I really wanted to hang out with her today and she blew me off for I don't even know what!

I don't think I want this drama down on me right now and I certainly ain't up for that.

So Blame that....!

             *******************

I found some panadols in a first aid kit in my room. I took them and drank some water to ease the pain in my head.

I turned on the TV in my room then before I knew it I dosed off.

I heard footsteps coming to my room, I really couldn't bother to get up so assumingly my parents opened my room door and closed it without saying anything.

I heard muttering on the outside then complete silence.

After that,I  slept till morning without any disturbance.
I then got up with a fresh and stable mindset, erasing Jamile on that matter.

Dad and I as usual, went out for a run in the morning.

I was really getting used to my new life.
First day of school tommorow and I was still in need of a hair cut.

My hair was shaggy and hanging over my face now while I stood viewing myself in the mirror.

My phone rang, I answered it; it was a private number.

"Hey what's up Tyrese".

"Let's guess...Chipz?" I said nonchalantly.

"You got that right!" She exclaimed while laughing.

"Well, I was going to the park today do you care to come?"

"Sure, if I knew where" I attested.

She began a laughing frenzy.

That's cool I'll come pick you up by noon, don't wear nothing fancy. It's just a park.

I had two hundred dollars left in my pocket from the money Dad gave me yesterday.

I was planning to get my hair done.

" I need to get a trim" I said to Dad while he was reading a newspaper.

"Oh that, grab my car keys, I'm in need of one too"

I got a hold of them and before you knew it we were out the front door and in the car.

*******************
"Can you drive Tyrese?"

"Yes sure can do"

"Really that's great, would you like a car of your own, your choice by the way, Mom wanted me to ask you"

I was astonished, I never owned one.  this was really happening.

"Yes, thanks " my smile was so broad.

"Good son, we just want you to be"
happy"

No questions about that!

We got to a nearby barber  who seemingly was my dad's Friend. we talked and laughed a little with him.

Then I noticed a girl styling a little boy's hair but now and then she would turn and look at me with her dreamy hazel eyes.

Her fifth look at me got me to realize that it was the same girl I saw on Jamile's street yesterday.
