Lucky: red

I haven't talked to Clover since my mom called her a hoe. I texted her but she didn't respond. Today is Monday so she is going to have to talk to me. I walked downstairs with Clover's favorite shirt of mine on and my new True Religion jeans. I grabbed my bag and keys. "Bring Ashley home with you" my mom said. "Why you keep doing this to me mom" I asked. "What boy" she asked. "I have a girlfriend. Stop trying to put this girl on me" I said. "Get your ass out of my house boy. I don't know why you even talked to her. She is going to expect you to take care of that baby" she said. "No she isn't mom. You know what bye" I said leaving.

I pulled up to the school and got out. I walked to Clover's locker and waited for her. "What's up Luck" someone said. "What's up" I said. "Waiting on your girl" he asked. "You already know" I said. "Damn hey Clover. You should holler at me sometime" someone else said. "Yea maybe" Clover said coming down the hall. "I love the new look" he said. "Thanks. Me too" she said. I finally saw her. She was beautiful. She had on a black and white dress with black flats and a red purse.

The thing that really caught my eye was her hair. Her hair was red with blond. I was shocked but also loving it. I'm guessing everyone else was too because everyone was looking.

She walked up to me and looked at me. "Can you scoot over so I can open my locker" she asked. I moved over speechless. "Clover. I like this new look" I said. "Yes me too" she said making me snap back to reality. "Do I not get my kiss" I asked. "Look Lucky we need to talk" she said. "What we got to talk about Clover" I asked. "We can talk later" she said about to walk away. I grabbed her by the arm and swung her over my shoulder. I held her dress down as I carried her to my car. I put her in the back seat and slid in. "Let's talk" I said. "What's the point Luck? Your mom thinks I'm a hoe and I don't want to be in a relationship to have your mom judge me" she said. "This relationship isn't with you and my mom. It's with you and me. We not going to worry about her opinions because they are stupid. We don't care what she or any one else has to say about you or us" I said. "Ight just tell yo mama little poodle to stay off of you" she said. I kissed her and we got out.

We ran to class and sat down. "So why were y'all late" Amber whispered. "Just talking" Clover said. "I like red" she said. "Yea and I am surprised that I am the only one with colored hair" Clover said. "Miss Nixon would you like to share with the class" the teacher asked. "Yea sure" Clover said standing up. "I was just telling Amber that I was surprised that there isn't anyone else with colored hair. This is an art school and you express yourself through the art. My red hair is a form of art and I am expressing myself" Clover said. "Way to express yourself Clover" the principal said from the doorway. "Thank you" she said.
