" i dont get why you were being so nice to that Negro after he ran into you." Lance scoffed.
" I dont get why you had to be so rude! It was my fault, i was looking at the ground lost in my thoughts. It was as much my fault as it was his!" i said angry.
" Calm Down Ariel, i was just saying." lance said.
" Well dont be so rude to someone you dont even know. Did you see how scared he looked?" I said
" Good, he should be scared." Lance smirked
" NO he shouldn't. Your rude and arrogant!" i exclaimed.
"what ever Ariel." Lance rolled his eyes.
after a while of silences," you guys go ahead. I'm going to take a different way home." I said
" Ariel, really dont be a baby." Lance said
" im not mad. i just want to walk by myself. Clear my head." i said truthfully
" Alright, we'll see you at school tomorrow." Rose said
" See yah." i walked away, taking the long way home. The look on Michaels? i think that was what the lady called him. the look on his face. He looked scared for his life, i feel so bad. It made me sick to my stomach the way Lance talked to him. UGH! How could someone be so RUDE? I wish i could apologize to Michael for Lance's behavior, it was uncalled for.
I finally made it home," Ariel, baby is that you?" my mother called from the kitchen.
" Yes Ma'am." i answered
" Can you get cleaned up and help me with dinner honey?" she asked
" Yes Ma'am." i went up stairs to my room and changed into a clean pair of clothes and washed up.
I walked into the kitchen ," your going to get a ear full from your father when he gets in the house." my mother said.
" why ?" i asked clueless.
" Lance told him about your encounter with the black man today."
" wh-what? why. Daddy isnt going to go after him is he?mama it was my fault i-" i asked worried
" baby calm down. your daddy isnt going to go after him. i made sure of that. Im just warning you." she said pealing a potatoe
" Okay." i said relieved.
As we carried on making dinner my father came in the back door with steaks.
" Hi daddy." i said quietly.
" You wanna tell me what happened today with that Negro?" he asked sternly.
" well i was walking lost in my thoughts. and i ran into him. Him and i both apologized. thats all." i said
" lance should have beat him for running into you."
" Why?!" i exclaimed.
" it was as much my fault as it was his!" i said.
" young lady you better watch your tongue!" he said.
i sighed," Yes sir."
" i dont want you coming into contact with no Negro's period.Understand?"
" yes sir." i answered.
School the next day******************~~~~~~~
I walked down my high school hall way, opening my lock.
" your mad at me aren't you?" i heard lance say, I slammed my locker shut looking at him.
" I wasn't until you told my father! I got in trouble last night thanks to you!" i said.
