" 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.
