A Typical Teen Christian

A Typical Teen Christian 10

What was Branson doing at my front door? Why is he even at my house?

"Branson?" I asked.

No answer.

"Branson!" I yelled.

Still no answer. Branson turned around and looked like a deer caught in headlights. He ranso quick away from my house and jumped the fence. Tell me that's not strange. Maybe he was just being the typical bad boy? Breaking into houses or something, but he wasn't with anyone else to show off about it. I don't know, I'll have to ask him at school tomorrow.

I feel really guilty right now. About slipping off my shirt in front of Branson, kissing my best friends boyfriend, and not knowing what was wrong with Bri. I guess all I have to do is pray.

Guilt is like regret right? I know one thing; Life is to short for regrets, so love the people that treat you right, forgive the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. That it's all part of God's plan for you. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said its easy but I promise it's worth it. Why do you think God placed our eyes up front? Because it's more important to look forward than backward. Ask God to forgive you for regretting so long, and to forget all your regrets to move forward! So I will.

Then I told myself something else; When you feel guilt not only should you take whatever you did back but pray about it, asking for forgiveness is the only thing that can get you through your guilt life.

I feel alot better now. I think I should avoid Mathew for awhile until I understand what exactly am I suppose to do for him. Like Maya Angelou said, "A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her."

I took a long warm shower, and got ready for bed.

----

I wake up, only feeling like going back to bed. But then the thought of Bri crying got me up. I only put on sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I didn't feel like looking all cute, since I'm tired. I slid on my slides and went out the door.

As soon as I walked out Branson was walking down the rode.

"Hey Branson! Where are you going?The School path is the other way," I shouted.

"I'm ditching school," Branson laughed as if I was some joke.

I ran next to Branson, tucked my arm next to his and swung him on the school path. I was walking still locked in his arm so he would be going to school.

"You are going to school Branson, and what were you doing in front of my house last night exactly?" I put him on the spot.

Branson said, "You can't make me mom. And I don't know what your talking about."

Branson had a expression on his face that he was lying . It was pretty obvious, but if he doesn't want to tell me I won't pesture him.

"Why not come to school? It's where all the girls flaunt over you and your the cool guy or whatever," I mocked.

Branson didn't seem like he wanted to argue about going to school.

"Jesselin who are you to judge? That's sterotype trash," Branson snapped.

"Sorry," I said.

There was this awkward silence between us until Branson spoke up.

"Soo... what's with you and Mathew or Mikey?" Branson had to ask.

"Well nothing. They are just friends. I made a few mistakes I'm not perfect," I say.

We both arrived at school.

"I think you are," Branson mumbled.

I laughed and we both went our separate ways.

I seen Liz. She looked really nice today not to mention she is wearing heels?! She was even wearing this dress that was so glittery. She looked beautiful. I wonder why she was dressed like that.

I look like I'm about to go to bed and she looks like she is about to party.

It's been like 5 minutes of me looking at Liz, and she still hasn't seen me. I started walking toward her and she jumped up all excited.

She ran into Mathews arms and squeezed him so tight. Mathew lifted her slightly off the ground and kissed Liz on the lips!

What did I just witness. Ok I admit I had a thing for Mathew but didn't I say I need to avoid him. How come Liz didn't tell me about them? How did that happen within a day? I look at them again am they sneak behind lockers and start makingout.

"I'm not letting it get to me, stay positive Jesselin. Stay Positive," I tell myself.

Tracy grabs my arm as I'm thinking.

"Do you know whats going on between Liz and Mathew?" Tracy freaked.

"No. Do you?"I questioned.

"Well I know they have been sneaking around. And Liz said she is all dressed for her true love. It's really weird. And Bri wanted me to tell you whats wrong," Tracy replied.

"Oh really is she here? What is wrong?" I asked.

"Her parents are neglecting her, and no," Tracy told me.

I just thought how terrible that would be. How did her parents just make that decision?

"Thank for telling me," I told Tracy.

*BEEP*

The bell rang. Tracy and I ran to class. What a strange way to start of the day?
