Pretty Hurts

Vanessa P.O.V. - 3A Lunch

  Sitting at my lunch table since freshman, waiting for my friends to come & join me. Always the first one here because my class is two doors over from the cafeteria lounge. Taking out my phone & checking my Instagram. Two new followers, 6 likes, & a comment. Trying to reach 2,000 followers before winter break, only at 1,119 right now. "Ewe, I don't want to hear that. Get away from me with that." Miranda's voice getting closer & closer to the table. "You be on that freak nasty shit, Jessica."

  My two best friends take their sits & continues their conversation like I'm not even there. How rude? "Girl, their ain't nothing wrong with being freak nasty. If you don't please your man somebody else will be glad to." Jessica says why snapping her fingers, sucking her teeth & rolling her neck all in the same second. The must be talking about Jessica 's boyfriend of a year & four months. "Uhm, hello. Do y'all even see this Nubian goddess here waiting to be informed with the juicy gossip I know y'all have in store?" Instead of them apologizing for the disrespect me, they laugh at me. "Nubian goddess, Vanessa really?" Miranda squeals out between laughs. "Yes, Nubian goddess. I learned that Nubian goddess in Egypt was the highest of black women. They ruled as queens & men followed under there rare beauty. So, I believe that I'm rare beauty, which means I'm an Nubian goddess.

  They look at each other once again & starting laughing. The way Jessica is laughing, it looks like she's gonna choke on her tongue. I couldn't take no more, so I got up to get me a bite to eat. "No, come back your majesty." The two cackling hyenas scream, before falling right back into laughter. Its a shame these girls don't know anything about rare beauty..

  Walking up to this lunch line. I spot my prince. With his caramel skin with a touch of vanilla extract. Light brown almost hazel eyes look me up & down. Just the perfect description of a Nubian God, to fit with my rare beauty. He walks up to me, doing the same smile he did in Algebra to make me melt. "Hey, Vanessa. He says Ooo, so sexy while licking his lips. "Hello, Antwán." Omg, why I say it like that. All proper & shit. Vanessa if you don't just be yourself. "So, I'm guessing you have 3A lunch. Where do you sit?" As I'm looking all over the place, trying to avoid eye contact so I don't show how thirsty I am for his attention. "Nah, I'm kinda skipping class right now. I have 3B lunch." "Ooo, so you're a bad boy?" I say smirking, now looking into his eyes. "Nah, ma. I'm not a boy, I'm a man. But, I always need a good girl to roll with." If this boy.. oops I mean man's game isn't tight. I don't know what is. "Well, I'm not just a girl, I'm rare beauty, a Nubian queen." "Well, can I be your loyal peasant, ma?" OMG, his a keeper. "Only if you put emphasise on the loyal.."
