How it all started:
"To be honest, you cute as a bitch and gone have to hit me up sometimes" read the message I got on Facebook. I began blushing as my cheeks were turning red. Which is hard, being that I'm a dark Carmel color, but that's just how hard I was blushing. My crush had just inboxed me. I quickly shot him my number. He caramel, stand about 5'7, beautiful hazel eyes, with a few tattoos. I know that I shouldn't have a crush, being that I have a boyfriend, but my so called boyfriend is a hoe. He be fucking with these hoes, like I don't know. They be posting shit all over his wall on Facebook, like I ain't suppose to see that? For every post, he got a damn excuse. "Mane we just friends, she playing or mane it ain't even like that" the fuck he think he talking to? I'm far from dumb.
My name is Brielle, everyone calls me bri, and I'm 15 and live in that boot. Lol, for those who aren't familiar with it, I live in Louisiana. Baton Rouge to be exact. My current boyfriend's name is Brent, he's 16. We've been talking for about 2 years. I'm sick of him hoeing around. I'm the type where no matter how many times that person mess over me, I still feel as though, they'd change and get their shit together. I'm fed up, so at this point, me and him finna be over with. My phone begins to ring.....
-"Hello"
-"wassup" said the other person on the line.
-"who is this" I asked.
-"what you give your number out to everybody? You should know who this is, this Donovan" he said.
I had to stop and take a deep breath, it was my crush.
-"oh wassup?" I asked.
-"nothing, but yea mane. You cute, ima have to make you mine ASAP" he stated.
-"oh really? I already have a boyfriend"
-"well he must not be doing his job, if you giving out your number to other people, && plus, what's that suppose to mean? Ima take you from him" I laughed. "What's funny, I'm foreal, just wait." I could tell he was serious.
-"boy you crazy, but text me, I'm finna get in the tub" the call ended.
I had a lot of studying to do. I'm in the 10th grade, taking two 11th grade courses, math and science. I have to take those two exams tomorrow, then it summer babyyyy! I walked to the kitchen to see what my momma was cooking.
"Ma, what you cooking? I asked.
"Food" she stated sarcastically.
"Duhhh" I said, reaching for the lid of the pot.
"Girl get yo hands away from my food, I don't know where your hands been!" She exclaimed.
"Mane, my hands ain't dirty" I pouted.
"You could've been digging in your ass, I wouldn't know" she said as she laughed.
"Whatever" I said as I walked away.
I'm the only child, so I basically get everything I want. My mom is a single parent. Things had been rough the year before, when she lost her job. I was kind of mad that I couldn't get everything that I did before, but I realized I couldn't complain, she was trying. I was glad that my momma wasn't one of them ratchet females that spend all they money and be living paycheck to paycheck. My momma save money, so that entire year she didn't have a job, we lived off of the money she had saved.
I walked to my room grabbing some night clothes and proceeded to taking a 10 minute shower. When I got out the shower ,dried off, and got dressed. I checked my phone to see that I had a text that read:
"Roses are red, violets are blue, if you let me get to know you I'll love you && promise that you'll love me too" bruhhh I started laughing , it was sweet, corny as fuck, but sweet.
I texted him back the emoji with heart eyes along with a goodnight. Shittt , it's 11:30 p.m. I knew in my right mind I wasn't gone study for my final exams. I knew it soon as I said I was. I never study. I laid down in my bed watching tv , but it wasn't long before I fell asleep.
