Torn

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Taylor tapped her pencil against the desk top as she texted away on her phone trying to make a sell to one of customers all while trying to keep up with the notes Ms. Jones had written on the board.

She had barely gotten any sleep last night because of all the arguing her parents did. The argument ended up escalating into something much more.

"Taylor, are you getting this down." The teacher asks now standing beside Taylor's desk with her hand on her hip. Ms. Jones held an amused facial expression as she waited to hear whatever excuse Taylor had today. They were always interesting.

"Yeah, I got it." Taylor replied, motioning towards her notebook that only had her name written at the top. Today was one of those days when she didn't feel like doing anything.

Sighing, Ms. Jones simply shook her head and walked away. She wished Taylor could see everything that she saw in her. Maybe then she would come to school everyday and actually take it serious. Ms. Jones had tried to reach out to her parents but they didn't seem to care about anything Taylor had going on.

Taylor went back to texting on her phone occasionally sneaking peeks at the girl that sat in the front row of the class faithfully. She was so beautiful with a nice shape and her makeup was always on point. Taylor had never saw the girl talking to anybody which only made her more attractive.

The bell rang causing everybody to get up and leave while Taylor stayed behind, taking her time as she put her pencil behind her ear and tucked her phone away. The whole time her eyes stayed glued to the 5'5" beauty as she grabbed her purse and proceeded to leave from the classroom oblivious to Taylor watching her like a hawk.

Taylor noticed the girl left her notebook behind and decided to get it for her. "Hol' up shawty." Taylor called after her causing the girl to turn around with a mug on her face.

Chuckling at her facial expression Taylor lifted her hands in a surrendering motion. "I'm not trynna talk to you or no shit like that. You left your notebook." Taylor held the notebook out and the girl took it from her mumbling a quick thank you before she tried to walk off only for Taylor to gently grab her elbow.

"What's your name?" Taylor asked, smiling at the girl as she looked down at her.

"Aaliyah." She responded trying to avoid eye contact with Taylor but she just couldn't seem to tear her eyes away from her. Taylor was sexy as hell with smooth caramel skin and gorgeous light brown eyes, a head full of silky curls. She stood 5'9" with an athletic build.

"I'm--"

"Taylor. I know exactly who you are." Aaliyah cut her off causing Taylor to frown. Before Taylor could even respond Aaliyah had walked away resulting in Taylor jogging to catch up with her.

"What you meant by that?" Taylor asked with her eyebrows pushed up. "You don't have a good reputation." Aaliyah said simply causing Taylor to suck her teeth. She hated it when females always used that as a reason not to mess with her.

"Man, whatever bro." Taylor said now irritated with the girl. Aaliyah furrowed her eyebrows wondering why she had an attitude when she was the one who tried to push up on her. If anything Aaliyah should be the one upset seeing as how Taylor thought she was just some hoe that she could easily bag and add to her long list of bodies.
