The Real ATL

2*

"Omg Jayden, look at those boys coming out way." Caleb screamed into my ear. All the girls followed to where her finger was pointing except for me.

Boys was nothing but trouble and heartbreak. A thing I was never trying to learn.

I looked over to the other girls to see them fixing themselves to look cute for the boys. I laughed and shook my head. I just wanted to chill in the park. I just stuck my head in my Nokia.

"Jay. Hello. Jayden!" Caleb yelled snapping in my face holding some boy hand. Oh joy.

"This young basketball player will like your time of day." She said gesturing to the boy hand she was holdin.

"Maybe I don't want to give him my time of day, Caleb" I said turning right back to my phone. I'm young and free ain't no boy changing that not today not ever.

The boys turned and walked away from us. Before they got far the boy Caleb showed me turned around and spoke.

"Why you so mean light skin?"

This boy.
