After church it was time for everybody to greet everybody. Knowing black people it's time to catch up on all the latest news. Everybody I knew as a kid was now all grown up and doing their own thing. My mom was talking and laughing with some of her old friends, and the step father and his little devil went to sit in the car. He said his head was pounding, Jesus done slapped the hell out of him during service. I stayed in my seat because I didn't know who to talk to.
I just sat in my seat thinking about how rich we were, and how our lives are about to change only if we can find a way to get rid of those two. My mom decided we shouldn't talk about the money or the house after the restaurant because we didn't want him to even think that we were hiding something.
" hey" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and there he was looking as fine as the day I saw him
" hey" I said turning around to face him. Since that day at the bus stop I haven't laid an eye on him at school and he never returned back to the bust stop
" is it your first time coming here, cause I've never seen you here before"
" no it's not actually. I used to come here when I was a little girl. We just stopped coming but my mom decided we need to start coming again so here I am" I said
"Oh that's good" he said " how come I haven't bump heads with you in school. I looked for you this whole week but never saw you"
" well I been sick" I lied. I'm a loner so once I get to school, I grab my books, and head straight to what ever class I have. I'm never in the hallways or anything.
"Oh hope your feeling better now."
"Yea I am."
"Jeremy leave her alone she's not interested" I hear Ericka voice "is my brother bothering you?" she asked standing next to him
"this is your brother?" I asked even though she just answered my question
"sadly yes" she said "how do you know each other"
"we met at the bus stop" I said.
"bus stop? when did you start taking the bus" she asked looking at him
"well the day you decided to leave me even tho you knew I didn't have a ride to school. so mom forced me to take the bus"
"well if you wasn't sneaking out the house at 2 in the morning mom would have never taken your keys now would she"
"what ever man you was still wrong" I watched them go back and forth for al bit before a lady came over interrupting them.
"your father is ready to leave" she said
"mom this is Lidia the girl that helped me at the bus stop the other day"
"oh hi nice to meet you" she said with a smile
"you too" I said returning the warm smile.
"ok guys lets go we are all very hungry" she told them.
" ok I will be there soon" he said "so am I gonna see you at school tomorrow"
"Jeremy stop it. you don't have to hit on every girl you see"
"could you shut up"
" yea Hopefully " I said laughing at both of them
"Ok bye oh and you look beautiful by the way" he said as he winked at me. and they walked away. I sat there smiling to my self .He just said I look beautiful I thought
"Come on Lidia " my mom said I grabbed my purse and left church with her.
"Hey want to go to the mall with Jeremy and I later today" Ericka yelled from their car. She stood in front of the opened door waiting for my response.
