Chapter 2: Thinking Of You

February 4th, 1991

Kelvin's POV:

It was 9am and i just got to my school, Washington High. i'm 17, a sophomore and one of the best football players in Colton, California. I got to my locker and put my books in. I don't want to be late for my 1st class so i hustle like hell but on the way i run into my homeboy Jamal.

"Whoa whoa nigga slow your role. You running away from a fire or something?" He said laughing.

"No i'm trying to make sure i don't be late for my class." I said as the late bell ring. "Speaking of which i'm already late for, damn seems like that bell just has perfect fucking timing man, ugh!" I said as i walked with Jamal.

"So Kelvin you wanna roll up before we go to class?"

"It's to early to be blazing man, plus you know i don't get down with smoking." I told him. "You know i have to keep in shape for sports, and to be honest you shouldn't be doing that shit either."

"Bro chill the fuck out, get your panties out ya ass and come smoke this blunt with me."

"I'm good bro i got to get to class, you need to put that shit away you know that ain't legal." I said shaking my head and laughing.

"You know me baby, i'm a risk taker." He said putting the blunt in his mouth and striking a pose like Superman in his cape. We both busted out laughing. "Alright homie well go ahead and get to class mr goodie two shoes, i'll catch ya ass later." He said as he pounded his fist and left.

I went to my 1st class and i got in there about 3 minutes late, getting a look from my history teacher Ms. Anderson.

"You know this is the 3rd time this week you've been late?"

I rolled my eyes at her as i sat down. "Yes i know, i just got here, i was putting some of my books up." I told her.

"Alright...well try not to be late next time." She said, still giving me a stern look, then she got up and began to teach the class. "Alright can anyone tell me the reason for...."

Class felt like it was super long today, i couldn't wait to get out of there, it seemed like it went on forever, the bell rang around 10:30am and i went to my 2nd class which was math. The math teacher was more cool and laid back, let me tell y'all when i say math is hard, Trigonometry is a hell of a drag, same with learning Algebra. Around 12:15pm we had lunch, i got into the lunch room, it was packed, everyone talking and conversing with each other some women kissing on their men and some men talking about basketball. I went into the lunch line and today was pizza day, we got pizza, some spaghetti, a warm biscuit and white milk on the side. I went to a nearby table by myself. It was rare that i sat with anyone, i liked to keep to myself. I sat and thought about alot of things. I thought about the letter i sent to Willie, I remember sending him that letter, he was cool with me even though we started out wanting to kill each other. I'm glad i got to know him a bit, i remember exactly how the letter went too.

Wednesday January 30th, 1991

Hey what's up 88 it's Kelvin, i just wanted to see how you was doing man, i also wanted to say thanks for saving me that day on the Gridiron. I also wanted you to know i got your address from Leon while we was talking one day, i got a job at a grocery store and i'm staying out of trouble. I'm going to school and i'm playing football for Washington High, but man i just wanted to write you this letter saying I appreciate what you did for me, if you don't respond back that's cool."

(End Of Flashback)

I bet he's wondering how i got his address, me and Leon traded numbers at the end of our time at Camp Kilpatrick. Leon told me how he got his address and he got it from Danyelle, so i decided to send him that letter and let him know that i appreciated how he saved my life and kept me from getting killed that day on the football field, the way he held my hand and made sure that i was alright sent chills done my spine, I never had anyone really care about me like that. I heard someone calling my name while i was deep in thought, i looked up and seen that it was Jamal.

"Yo nigga you good?"

"Yeah man i was just deep in thought bro, so bro the question now is are you good?" I said laughing. "After that wake n bake session i know you had how you feeling?"

"I'm feeling cool bro, feeling good. So what you doing after school man?"

"After this it's straight to work bro, I got to make that paper." I said laughing. "I'm gonna make it the legal way too, working at a grocery store ain't that difficult too, i mean restocking and unloading things is work but hey at least i'm doing that shit the right way nigga." I said laughing.

"True true, well i just wanted to say what's up, i'm gonna go get my eat on with this fine broad." He said laughing. "I'll hollla at you later on."

He got up and left and about 15 minutes later the bell rang, i headed to another class after that and then from there i headed to gym around 2:30pm, that's the only part of the day i liked, i worked out a bit, we ran drills, played a bit of dodge ball then after that we headed to the showers. School let out around 3:30pm and from there i went to work, my shift started around 4pm over at Cardenas Market on N Mt. Vernon Avenue, which was less than a 5 minute drive, which is great. I got there, it was a typical day of stocking and and unloading, the people there were cool. My shift ended around 10pm, and from there i headed to my 1 bedroom apartment, living alone at 17 was cool, rent was cool about $350 a month, pretty dope.

I watched a little bit of Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, man Will Smith is a nice looking brotha but Carlton looks better. I continued watching the show, then i chilled a bit just laid on the couch thinking about Willie. As i continued thinking about Willie i pictured him in the showers washing up, my hands slid down my pants and i began to massage myself through my pants, thinking about him walking over to me in the showers, looking me up and down and then kissing me, fucking me right there in the showers back at Camp Kilpatrick, after a good 10 minutes i busted, coming down off my high i cleaned up and got in bed, drifting slowly off to sleep.
