Stay away from him

{Ray’s POV}

We was in class going through our mid-term review as I watched desiree. She wore her hair down today and she looked gorgeous. She crossed her legs and dangled her flip flop on her feet. Mm. As of now we’re both still single. She’s still trying to make an effort to try and get chres and I haven’t given her his number yet. With all the hanging out when did for the past two months I-I think I’m falling in love with her plus all her petty efforts to try and snag chres were pointless. He seems so consumed with Jacob, that I wouldn’t be surprised if the two were gay.

MC: Ok class we will break for lunch and resume with history.

 Everyone packed away their stuff and walked to the kitchen or to the back yard. I remained in my seat as desiree was packing up her stuff. I decided to go over by her side and chat with her a bit.

Me: Hey des, how are you?

Des: *looks up* Oh hi ray. I’m fine and you?

Me: Ehhh. I had better days.

Des: Ray can I ask you something?

Me: *shrugs* sure

Des: Do you think chres has feelings for me?

She seemed so sincere and I wanted to tell her that she had no chance with him but I also didn’t want to lie to her either.

Me: Maybe you should find out for yourself. I can’t tell you that. Only he can.

Des reached out and grabbed my hand and placed hers on top and looked up at me.

Des: Thanks ray. You are a good friend.

I smiled. I was. At this point in our relationship I would do anything for her if she wanted to. Even if it means going after a nigga who didn’t share the same feelings as her, but I guess that’s just the way love goes. (see what I did there) She stood up and planted a kiss on my right cheek and walked slowly towards the kitchen. I watched silently as I turned around and opened the back door to the backyard porch and be the first person to sit outside and just think about things.

{Des’s POV}

I arrived into the kitchen to see what chres was up to but when I looked around he was gone. I looked for Jacob because I knew if chres was gone then Jacob would surely follow. I was mad. Ugh. I’m so sick of those two being together. I went into the fridge to see if there was something I could heat up and eat for lunch. There was. Spagetti, corn on the cob and some grape kool-aid.

Me: Hey myles.

Myles: Yea des?

Me: Do you know where chres is?

Myles: Uh I think he said he was goin by the house and that’s ALL that I know.

Me:  Oh ok well thanks for telling me.

Myles: You’re welcome.

Barjaa: Why do you need to know where chres is?

Me: BECUZ BOOJUH, I WANNA KNOW!!!

Leyla: Well dang, des you ain got to yell at the girl.

Me: Well she ain had to get in my business either.

I grabbed a utensil, a napkin and went outside to cool off. When I got there only ray was out in the back. He looked like he was deep in thought. I asked him to hold my drink so that I could sit down. The weather was nice and nobody was around. Thank goodness. Just me and ray.

Me: So I see that you didn’t get anything to eat. You decide to skip lunch?

Ray: *sighs* Oh no. I’m still hungry. I just didn’t feel like getting anything to eat.
