Ch. 9

Alex

"Wait! I yelled at Damarcus as he got up to go get Taylor, but sat back down when I yelled at him to stay. "You cant leave me here by myself" I said knowing if he left the girls from this morning was gonna come and make my life hell. I said embarrass but that's how life is for me. I mean I not ugly not trying to sound cocky or anything but I can dress to but only thing is im quiet and don't really like talking to people. The only person I ever opened up to is Taylor before we stopped talking. Im not even that close to my dad because I felt like my dad didn't want me because my mom didn't she left us. Ever since then I never really talked much.

"Bryan!" Damarcus yelled across the cafeteria calling after my one and only crush. No please don't call him he don't know who I am. I wanted to say but was to late because Bryan was standing right next to me. Looking down trying not to do or say anything stupid.

"What's up fam" Bryan said while they gave each other dap.

"Can you sit with Alex for me? She don't want to be left alone. I need to talk to Taylor" Damarcus asked Bryan.

"Yeah I will" Bryan said sitting right next to me smiling from ear to ear like he just won a prize. At first I thought he was going to say or do something mean like bully me or call me out in front of everyone but he didn't. To my surprise he asked me a question. "Why didn't you want to be left alone?"

" Because ....if im left alone then that give people the chance to attack me" I said with my head down afraid he would be like the others and hate me too for no apparent reason.

"Attack? What you mean by that?" He asked curious

"Well I umm get you know bullied from time to time either when I alone walking by myself or when a group of people see me. Im like their entertainment." I said ashamed

"Well I wont let that happen no mo" he said reassuring me.

"Uhhh?" I said looking up at him.

"I said I wont let that happen no mo" he smiled

" I heard you but why?" I asked needing to know why he was being so nice. Do he want something? If he do ....what my basket of goods? Nope not happening.  "What you want from me? You want to get over on me, get on my good side than switch up on me and make me the laughing sto...." I was cut off by a kiss. That kiss made my knees weak. Not my first kiss but my first kiss in years. Yeah its been awhile.

"No im not like that" He said pulling away. "I don't hop around from girl to girl I try to keep a relationship. Not to sound like no punk. But to answer you question Im doing it because you are beautiful and I can tell you have a beautiful personality too" He said while holding my chin in place so I wouldn't look down or away from him.

"Well you don't want to date me" I said honest 

"Your reason?"

"Because im a nobody, I get laughed at, day and day, night by night. You see my phone the only people you see in here is family and Taylor" I said while I started to walk away but he pulled me back down and onto his lap. "Please let me up" I partially begged him. Knowing deep down inside me I didn't want him to let me go. Thinking he was going to let go he answered.

"No" he said simply " Let me get to know the real you"

"I don't know" I was heisted

"Well im not going to let you go until you say yes so I wait as long as possible what eva is needed" He said determined to get me to say yes. "So what you say?" he said turning me around on his lap so that I was sitting side ways on him.
