Is My "BLACK" Beautiful?

Hidden Jealousy

I was thinking about doing the whole Questions and answers thing after the next chapter because you guys will have better questions after it. So you guys will Inbox me questions and I'll make a mini chapter with nothing but the answers to those questions as if I'm the characters myself. So your pretty much asking them what you want.

YARDEE ON THE SIDE

HARLEM

I didn't know what to say about this whole fear thng. I took my seat again near the guys.

"Yo Harlem you good?"

"Yeah I'm fine Rakim."

I said a bit annoyed he always askes me that and I know he means well.

"Look thats just how Mr.E is, he like to push the envolope to help his shy students break out of their shells. Even if it means making an example out of them." Yavin said to me managing not to annoy me.

"Your skin color is pretty though." Ezikial complimented.

"Yeah remeber I told you that when we was at my house the other night?" Rakim wasn't really agreeing with him he was more challenging Z's compliment. As if to say he noticed first.

"Um thanks guys." I sadi then just plugged my headphonein and looked through my latest pictures.

Ezikial left to go talk to some boys across the room but slipped me a small piece of paper with his number on it before he did. Yavin had fell asleep right on my shoulder and Rakim he just looked distant . He had not spoken a word since his comment and to be quite honest nobody knew why.

"You okay Rakim? You been real quiet." I asked down at him because he was sitting under me. At first he didn't even respond then he turned and gave me a smile.

"Yeah I'm cool. Z likes you if you couldn't tell."

"Oh well I kinda thought that since he gave me his number?"

"Oh he gave you his number?"

"Yeah he did."

"Oh." He said simply but I had a feeling he did'nt like that.

ONE MONTH LATER...

NARRATOR

Yavin, Rakim, and Dexter are up in Yavin's room while Jeremy is downstairs getting drinks Dice on his way as well. Rakim isn't all that focused though in fact he stopped playing video games about 15 minutes ago. He was pre-occupied with watching Mickie, Yo-yo, Kittie, and Harlem have a sleepover through Yavin's bedroom window.

"Y'all think Harlem really like Z?

"Man let it go. You say you don't like her but your only concern seems to be her."

Dexter says bringing up a a valid point. Rakim didn't know why but he had a hard time being okay with 'Z' liking Harlem that way.

Harlem had since went on two dates with Ezekial. He was a nice guy but he lacked something. He made good grades and was very nice bit its like she didn't want it to work out, like he didn't measure up to what she wanted. Thing is Harlem didn't even know what she wanted so it could be possible that she was reading to much into this. Maybe she could give him more room to grow on her.
