"Oh my gosh Tanya, hurry up, I don't have time for this!" I emitted as I opened the fridge. "What was that?" Tanya hollered, "I didn't hear you!" I know that Tanya heard me. She always pumps stupid.. "Nothing," I murmured, "just forget it... since you wanna play stupid" Tanya was busy trying to find an outfit for the day. She's a little too girly for my liking, I mean, come on, you can do better. My phone vibrated in my pocket. Oooh look, a text message from Quincy:
QuincePinch: yoo you guys readyy? da rest of the squad waitin 4 yall
I quickly skimmed the text message, then winced. Tanya always takes too long! Everyone else is waiting for her! But here she is, in her room constantly changing her hairstyle and tweaking her outfit. I typed as slow as I can, hesitating to hit reply, hoping that Tanya would magically finish and walk down the stairs, annoucing her stupid look. But that wont happen right? I finally hit enter.
Me: Nah , Tanya Takes Five Years . She Got The Rest Of Y'all Waiting , Huh?
I rolled my eyes and strolled out of the kitchen. I bet Mama will be home before Tanya is ready. Almost awkwardly, Quincy replied quick.
QuincePinch: yeh, she got us waitin, well wen yall dun pull upk to ccp!
I lost faith in replying slowly and typed jet fast. Before I could hit reply, here was Tanya. Why oh why didn't she come before I sent that text, now we look stupid. Not that I'll be embarrassed in front of Quincy, it's DeShawn that counts... "You could have saved me 2 minutes ago," I seethed, "now I'll look retarded in front of-" "DeShawn.." Tanya interupted, "like, shut up, I bet he didn't even say anything, I'm pretty sure Dey don't even want you, I mean, he's cuffed." I hate my sister's ignorance.. she can bring out the worst in me. I rolled my eyes and pretended to ignore her. As fast as I can, with Tanya leaning over my shoulder, I responded to the text.
Me: Nawl , Forget It , We On Our Way Now . She's Finally Done . Even Though The New Ice Age Era Done Hit !!!
"Oh shut up," Tanya teased, "you would understand if you were more model like." Tanya headed to the coat room and grabbed her little top hat off of the hat rack. Then, with very little hesitation, she grabbed the car and house keys and opened the door. "I'll be waiting in the car," she called out, "don't take too long." She did a little sedated stroll out of the house as I cringed at her. She did that on purpose, I know she did. My phone vibrated. Viberate after viberate. This was definately ringing. I picked up the phone to see that it was DeShawn.
Me: Er, hey, um, yea, um, hey DeShawn.
DeShawn: Hey Jelly, you aaight?
Me: Er, sorry, I'm, kind, of, er... I'm working on... um... something right now.
I lied right through my teeth... to the boy that I love! I don't understand the feelings I get in my stomach. It's, like, weird. It causes me to stammer, I NEVER stammer. I had to do something quick to get the feeling out of me. OH! Thats right! I'll pretend its my friend Trey! "Aha, I'm done now, what's up, why you calling? I mean, you barely call." I twiddled with my fingers as I held the phone with my shoulder. I walked on to the coat room and left, making sure that slam lock was on the door before I closed it. "Just thought I should know ya better, I mean, how are we both part of the same squad but yet we barely talk?" I could hear DeShawn lightly chuckle on the other end. "I mean, I just find it funny. Wanna drop hanging with the squad and chill at the Sportsman Lounge?" My heart stopped. Did he really just ask me on a date? Wait. No. He means as a friend. Get that through your thick skull, Jelly! I was now sitting on the steps at my house, blankly staring at my sister who I believe was asking me what I'm looking at. Although I can feel my heart beat through my ears, I'm going to try and play it cool. "Yeah, that seems pretty chill" I crossed my feet as I got a grip on my phone and relaxing my shoulders. "Aaight, I'm gonna tell Quincy and them. Ima pick you up." "Cool, cool... well cya there." With that, he hung up.
"Is there a problem that I don't know about?" Tanya retorted, I almost thought she was serious... "Nah chill, I'm dropping y'all for today so you can go on ahead. I'm going out by myself." I stood up and pulled up my pants. Tanya rolled her eyes and mummbled, "whatever, we can turn up without you." I flipped my flowing braids and grabbed the spare house keys from an open pocket in the front of the house. As I stuck the keys in the open hole and turned them, I felt a pair of hands on my shoulder. I jumped in shock and challenged myself to turn around. Oh, it's only DeShawn... "DESHAWN" I exclaimed, without realizing it. "Hey hey hey," he did a cute chuckle, "didn't know you would be that excited to see me..." He blushed a little and his nice, dreamy, cute, beautiful, grey hazel eyes looked down. "Uh, haha yeah..." Did I really just say that out loud? Man, I'm retarded. Now I have to play it off... "Well, are ya ready?" He said quickly,changing the topic and then he pointed to his red car. I meant to show a heartly smile, but I'm pretty sure it turned out half hearltly, but that's not the point. The point is that I smiled and nodded my head...
back at the center..
"Oh really," I smirked as I grabbed for the console. "We'll see who runs Black Ops." DeShawn snorted, "you already know I'm going to win, so why even try?" He also grabbed the console for Player One and hit the A key to start the game. Almost immediately, the game started and we was going at it. You know... calling eachother names and bringing down our self esteems? Every gamer girl starts this, we're bad at showing good sportmanship although we really wish that nobody gets virtually hurt. "AYE!" I won! I won! "Take that you good for nothing low down 'gamer guy'!" DeShawn gave me an uncertain look. "Aiight, bet, you won this one. But watch me break your neck at Left For-" in just that instance, DeShawn's stupid phone rings. He grabbed it from the Center's tableside and smirked. I peeped who was the caller, his stupid girlfriend. "She's no-" I was really about to say my thoughts out loud? Thank god he's ringtone saved me. His ringtone was Swerve by Sage The Gemini. (SPONSER LOL) Before I knew it, DeShawn answered the phone.
"Hey baby." DeShawn had a look on his face that showed pure joy. Wow, he is really happy with her. "Oh nothing, just hanging out......Jelissa also known as Jelly? She's part of the squad, even though your new. You just joined last week... And Jelly has been taking a break from the thug life for right now." My smile widened when he mentioned me. DeShawn can be a pretty laid back dude. "What do you mean? Er, babe..... listen you don't understand... she's different! Maybe she doesn't want me for once! You never like any girl! I lost my friends because of you... I made sacrifices... SHE'S PART OF THE SQUAD FOR GOD'S SAKE!" My heart almost stopped. Like excuse me Portia, but I never did anything to you! I can tell I have another basic hater. I can feel the problems that are going to escalate between us.. "You're evil.. I..." I heard a sniffle... and it was coming from DeShawn! "Aiight, ok, whatever, I'll be there........ yeah bye." I saw DeShawn sneek wipe his tear. I wasn't going to bring that up to him, though. "Listen, I have to go.." DeShawn managed to stammar, "want a quick ride back home?" DeShawn slid his phone back into his pocket. "No, I'm fine.. I'll call up Tanya. Maybe she can bring me out there to CCP." I somehow felt a fake smile take over my face. "Aiight, cool, it was nice BEATING YO BUTT! Nah," DeShawn faked chuckled. "I have to go." DeShawn waved at me as I waved back.
DeShawn was a sensitive guy, I guess. I sighed and sat back onto the couch, taking a sip of my coffee. I looked at my Facebook,
Worst. Mistake. Ever.
