Harmony
I've decided to walk home. Calvin wanted to come over today, and he's nowhere to be found. I suck my teeth.
Whatever.
I begin to walk, and see Mateo and a girl laughing with each other. She then waved goodbye, and walked away. I made my way towards him. "Seems as if you moved on?"
"She's cute." He shrugged. "So I talked to her."
I sat on the bench. "Lemme guess. You got her number?"
He nodded. "Her name is Phaedra."
I nodded. "Nice."
He sat down next to me. "You good?"
"Yea. I'm fine."
"You haven't smiled...at all."
I smile. "Yes I am."
He rolled his eyes. "What's wrong?"
I sigh. "I can't find my boyfriend....at all."
"Don't fuss about it." He patted my back.
I shook my head. "I have a bad feeling about it though."
"Well." He paused. "You can't ignore that."
I nod. "Exactly."
He looked me. "Why don't you just break up with him? You don't even trust him."
I shrug. "I'm kinda nervous."
"Why?"
I shrug. "I don't even know. And prom is this month."
He chuckled. "Yup. In like 2 weeks."
"And people are already getting ready. Promposals are everywhere." I pout. "He hasn't asked me to prom yet."
He twisted his face. "Oh."
He then got up. "I'm walking home. So, bye."
I got up as well. "I'm also walking home."
He nodded. "Then let's go."
We began to walk.
"Mateo, you like that girl, 'Phaedra'?" I asked.
He nodded. "Yea why?"
I mischievously smiled. "Get your little ex jealous."
He nodded. "I'm planning on doing it already. If me and Phaedra continue to talk, and I actually like her more than I thought, I'll get with her."
"But you don't love her.....right?"
He shook his head. "Nah. I'm not like my dad who always say it was love at first sight with my mom."
I laughed. "My dad said the same thing. Well, back then."
He chuckled. "I needa put you on."
I looked up at him. "Okay," I say in a tone for him to go on.
"So, me and this boy almost fought, and he claims to be Gioni's brother. He came towards the end of the day......like, when I was at my locker." He started.
My eyes widened. "Really?"
He nodded. "Yea! Like dafuq!? This bitch brought a whole sibling to school. It's not even like it was tomorrow morning or something. It was today. But anyways, he tried to square up, and I popped that nigga in the mouth."
"You punched him?" I raise an eyebrow.
He shook his head. "I smacked the shit outta him. And I pulled away by Zay, since he happened to be there. And more people eventually was holding me back. I wasn't saying anything, I was just trying to get around them. And his brother was having a whole temper tantrum. I deadass started to laugh while they was holdin' me back. He was threatening me and shit. Yelling, and trying to get through everyone that was holding us back. Until the principal and security came, and I guess he got arrested because the nigga lookin' twenty, and he walking around the school premises tryna fight someone. I was left off the hook since I said it was self defense and shit. Gioni could suck her moms dick. She mad because I broke up with her. But anyways, about you."
I scrunch my face. "About me? What?"
He wrapped his arm around my shoulder."We gone make a plan bestfriend. For you to overcome your fears of fucktard, as known as, your boyfriend."
I smiled. "Maybe."
"No! Yes! I'm gone help you!" He retorted.
I sighed. "I'm just a little n-"
"Why the fuck are you nervous?"
"I don't know."
"There's a reason." He rolled his eyes.
I sighed. "I'm worried that he might move on too quick, and possibly forget about me. I'm afraid he would call me a 'hoe' or a 'dumb bitch' like he does his other ex's.
He made a face. "Since when are you worried about him saying shit? You always the first one to catch an attitude if someone has one towards you."
I nod. "I just don't wanna lose him. Back then, we were better. Now we're drifting apart quickly. And now every time I wanna hang out with him, he's busy, or nowhere to be found. His mom called the police last month, and he was found at a bando, smoking. I feel like we could change our relationship, and make it good again. But I also feel like we have no hope either."
I feel tears begin to roll down my face. Mateo looked at me, and pulled me into a hug. "It's aight bestfriend. It's complicated."
