Melanin Beauty

chapter 36

Sunday I didn't hang out with anybody I basically stayed home watched TV and listened to my favorite artist which was Jcole. And texted Danny who was busy.

We were currently talking about the love mark that he had placed on my neck.

My mom decided to go over to Raymond and talk because she felt better speaking to him in person. She wouldn't tell me what they would discuss but I honestly hoped that they wouldn't go separate ways because of me and Tiara. As crazy as that sound but it was true. I started thinking about what Ms. Angie had said to me and the story she told but I just wished Raymond was Ryan my biological father.

And I was also thinking about what I thought yesterday which was if Danny 'changed' for me. I knew I probably shouldn't have been thinking about this because I wanted trust and honesty in our relationship but it was hard not to think about it and plus his disappearance during the day. I knew that if Danny was who they said he was... He probably wouldn't change for me. He actually reminded me of my father

I wondered if that was the reason he was so busy and couldn't come over.

My phone vibrated on the wooden table that was place in the middle of the living room. I reached over from my place on the couch to retrieve my phone.

Which was a text from Danny.
:Sorry but I gotta text you later.

I rolled my eyes putting my phone back on the table. I stood up walked to my bathroom. I looked in the mirror and at the indexed cards. I pulled my hair back. Looking at the bruise on my neck. I knew if my father seen this he would flip out maybe even worse. I pulled my hair back over my shoulders shaking my head I wish this bruise would just fade away already.

Since Danny was busy and we forgot to work on the project together I stayed up writing the timeline on a poster board and decorating it with pink, green, and blue markers.

School
I skipped breakfast I didn't feel like waking up too early.

I had on something simple which was a white shirt black pants and my white adidas. My hair was in a puff and I had on eyeliner and mascara.

As soon as I walked into Mrs. Hammers class I loudly sighed when I saw Quez sitting in my seat. I walked up to my desk and waited for him to get up.

" oh hey Lex." He waved at me before pulling out his phone which looked liked he was on face book.

" give me your number and I'll get up." He then said.

I closed my eyes I didn't want to open them because I was still sleepy. I put my poster on my desk as soon as I opened my eyes.

" I swear you try to irritate me on purpose... Get up" I said.

" ight... Say please daaaddddyyyy" he dragged his words out his voice coming out as a sweet innocent girl asking her dad to buy her some ice cream. People laughed including Diana.

I glanced at her as she tucked her lips into her mouth.

" Danny gone beat yo' ass." Someone said causing more people to laugh.

Quez shrugged slouching farther into my seat. I snatched my poster board from off my desk and moved to a empty seat.

" here bruh" Quez said getting out of my seat.

I ignored him.

" ion know why you throwing bitch fits." He then said.

I fought the urge to say something because if I did I knew it would lead to a argument and possibly a fight one thing I hated more than a girl being disrespectful to me was a boy calling me out my name and abusing women as crazy as that seemed i still managed to love my father and miss him everyday he wasnt here with me and if we were to fight I would probably be slammed like the some of the girls on YouTube.
