She's Unwelcomed

I hated this! Alexa and Jonae' flew to Hawaii with their famliy and boyfiends while I'm stuck here.

Homecoming was exciting. I had so much fun and I even saw that Blake was having fun. We danced to one song and one song only together. If I said I didn't enjoy it I would be lying again. Halloween came and gone, what a drag. Blake didn't want to hang out with me at Jonae' Halloween party, so I had to lie and skip out on it. Instead I ended up with Tianna, Khanu and Kar to go trick or treating. Thanksgiving was toxic, when the whole Montello family get together its chaos and I really don't want nothing to do with it. But it's the one time out the year when Dad sit down with us and actually talk to us. Midterm exams where to worst I had to make up two tests which I came close to failing again. But luckily what followed exams was Winter vacation. Its the perfect way to end a bad start.

But here I am at Tianna's house moping around because I haven't heard from Blake in four weeks.

"That's weird, I would've thought he'll call and ask you to do his errands." Tianna said as she folded her clothes. I've been over Tianna's house every single day since the break started. I'm starting to look pitiful. I finally get a break from that creep and all I can think about is him. Blake freaking Richardson.

"I know." I groaned as I rolled over onto my back on Tianna's queen sized bed. Tianna's room was bigger than mine, just a tad. Her room was decorated like a rainbow. She had colors everywhere. Blinding.

"You know Ky" she said as she climbed onto her bed and laid next to me looking at me with goo-goo eyes. "Maybe you like Blake."

"Why would I like a person like Blake. He's mean, a jerk, and arrogant." I huffed as I crossed my arms over chest and rolled over closer to the wall. How can my best friend say that? Me like Blake, that's nonsense. Me and Blake have nothing in common. I can't stand him and I know for a fact that he can't stand me because he treats me like some type of animal.

"You know, You can quit that lost puppy thing because you get to see him tomorrow."

"I'm not a lost puppy, Blake is my fake boyfriend and I'm his fake girlfriend. There's nothing else, so I understand why he haven't called for me." I rolled over to see Tianna face hoping that I didn't offend her but she had that dumb look on her face again. She can never take a situation serious.

Today is the first day back to school after winter break and I was happy, extremely happy. I even woke up early and spent sometime prepping myself. My curly brown hair was straighten, I did a little of my make-up, and I wore a gray jumper with thick white stockings. I thought I can start a new year and a new me. I was on the curb waiting for Blake and Keonte'to pick me up. It became so naturally to do so. I got the second thinking and remembered that I didn't get a text from Blake. I walked back into the house texting Blake to see if he's going to pick me up. I waited and waited and a text never came back. I grabbed my stuff and slowly made my way to school.

Is he okay? Did something bad happen to him?

I wasn't in my right mind all day. Today went by in a rushed blur. I remember making it to my Advisory class, seeing Jonae' and Alexa, being terrorized by Blake's fan club, and Willy showing us a picture of the Effiel Tower. But I don't remember the conversations, what happened in class, or how the fact I ended up at Blake's apartment with a huge packet in my hand.

I stopped at his apartment floor door and recollected myself. I forced myself to think back.

"Hey Montello!" I turned around to whomever was screaming my name. "This is for Blake, give it to him. It's his work for the day. I was supposed to give it to him but I think it's best for you. You his girlfriend and all." She shoved the white packet in my hands and ran away. I thought that Saana would've loved going to her Prince's home.
