The Wrong Decisions I make

Chapter 19: Graduation Day

( Promise's P.O.V.)

My alarm clock went off and i fell off my bed. I went to the bathroom, took a shower, and did my hygiene stuff. I went downstairs to eat breakfast and my mama walked in. Hey college girl. mama said. I rolled my eyes. Hey mama. I said sitting at the table. Finally. All of my children are out the house. My mama said cheering. Not fully. I mean i'ma come stay over the Summer until I can find a place to stay. I said. Stay with Jay. Don't ya'll still date? My mama asked. Yea. But he can't do what he did last year. I swear i was going to pull a gun. I said. Promise. My mama said in shock. So, if he never fucked that girl, if he never played me for 3 months, if he didn't tell lies to my damn face. I wouldn't be having that problem. I said with an attitude. Well, it's good that he found out he actually loved you for you and not the body. She said. I know. He better not be playing me this time. I said putting my bowl in the sink. Bye little girl. Mama said. Bye mama. I said rolling my eyes.

Hey chica. France said. Hey. I said. Aren't you excited. We graduating, and soon we'll be moving out and going to Stanford University in California. France said. I think i'm going to move to Gorgia, Illinois, New York, or just come back and find a place here. I said. Noo... we moving to Cali you even said it when we were 11 and 12. France said. We were 12 France were now 18. I said. You promised Promise! France bugged. Ugh, fine. I just didn't wanna go there because everyone moves there these days. Why can't all the famous people be in New York or some? I asked. I don- that was a rhetorical question. I said cutting her off.

Then the bus came. I sat next to France and as usual Jay sat on me again. I rolled my eyes. Hey. Jay said. Hi. I said. What's wrong? Jay asked. Nothing. I said. Right. Jay said. Just tired. I said lying. I was really wondering if I should be dating Jay. I mean he stopped loving me in the middle of the school year. So how he loving me again? I would ask him, but he would know why i am. I really don't want to jump to conclusions i ain't that type girl. Promise, Promise. Promise. France said. What? I asked. Get off the bus. France said. Oh, my bad. I said getting up. Jay was standing in front of me waiting for me to get up.

We walked in the school on our way to the lunch room. I really wanna know if he trying me again. I said. He does. I mean he couldn't bring a lot of shit to you. And say i love you. And look at you with love in his eyes, for nothing. France said. Jay looked back at us like what ya'll talking bout. I smiled. Stop talking to diong loud. I said. My bad. France said. Oh Promise! I have and idea for him to say he really loves you. Without you asking! France shouted. France! I said/shouted. Sorry. France said. I rolled my eyes. What? I asked. Prom, he's taking you of course. So if he wins prom King he can say how much he loves you on the mike. France said in excitement. Yea. I guess. I said. But how will you make people vote for him? How you gone to get him to say how he truly feels or loves me on mike? I asked. I know a way. I ain't that stupid. I might have a D in math but i can make that SHIT POP CHICA! France shouted. Oh my gosh. I said putting my head down. Why are ya'll starring at me i know i have pretty eyes but- Shut the fuck up you sound stupid. I said/whispered cutting her off.

We went to the back and sat at our table. I looked across from us and saw Shawn's gang members. I was a little happy that Shawn was in prison for 5 years, but i have a feeling that he gone to bust out. Then one of his members came up to me. My heart sank in, but Jay was in line for breakfast. Wassup lil ma. the guy said licking his lips. Why you licking them dehydrated lips, they gone get more crusty and ashy so just stop. I said. DAYUM! Demetrius said. DIONG! Khalil shouted. Bitch the fuck you say?! He said so loud the cafeteria got quiet. I rolled my eyes but i knew that was a big mistake. I wasn't thinking i knew he was going to do something to me. I picked me up by my throat and slammed me against the wall. Why is it always me? I cried inside my head. Only me. I cried to myself. I wish i wasn't on this wall being chocked. I thought to myself. Jay ran up behind him and punched him in the jaw so hard spit flew out his mouth. I fell to the floor and started gasping for air. Why don't my friends ever do anything? I understand about the girls but the boys can stop being a pussy and do something.
