Two Different Worlds

II

It all started in my home ec. Class. I was joking around with my friends Tyson and Jones. "Class, I've paired you up, for the rest of the year you'll be taking care of a baby " I glanced back at Adelina Fisher ,the prettiest light skin jawn. She was captain of the cheerleading squad and everybody wanted her but my goal was to get her. "Ross and Baxter .." the teacher yelled out .
"Who's Ross ?" Tyson asked me . A Brown skin girl around 4'10 walked up to my desk. Her curly hair was pulled into a messy bun. She wore glasses and a black hoodie that was oddly too big . She wore really light skinny jeans almost white and black forces . "Uh , I'm Rosie , Rosie Ross ," she talked so quietly I had to ask her to repeat herself . "Rosie " she repeated barely above a whisper . I never really noticed this girl around school . She must have been New or just always out of my way . "Pair up with your partner's and have a seat please " Mrs.Greene directed. Tyson and Jones snickered and getting up. "Have Fun ," Jones said before walking to Adelina's desk.
Rosie sat down next to me and looked down at the table playing with her fingers. I smelled the sweetness of peaches and stared at her a minute. She looked oddly peculiar. I shook it off as Mrs.Greene started passing out the packets and "babies " we were taking care of . By the time she got to the last couple the dismissal bell rang. I gathered my papers and Rosie Tapped my shoulder handing me a piece of paper . "I'll take it home everyday and bring it to school every morning , this is my number if you have any questions or concerns " she spoke. I raised my eyebrow shaking my head . "That's Not how the project works , I have to take care of the baby as much as you do , I'll come over tonight at seven" I took the paper with her number on it and walked out of the classroom .
