Stuck

Part 2

Grace's p.o.v 

After my last period which was gym, i made my way to my locker. I placed my backpack inside and slide my phone into my pocket. As I closed my locker and turned I bumped into to someone. "I'm sor-" I paused right before I saw the most attractive person I've ever seen in the world. "No, you're okay. I was the one not paying attention." He smiled and I swear to God his teeth almost blinded me with their whiteness. 

" Uh..I uh." I stuttered. He walked off and caught up with a boy named Nathaniel. I saw him glimpse back at me then turn back to Nathaniel with a confused face. I had a feeling what he'd said. I knew it was what he said. No doubt about it. Since I'm apparently "team jumping" I know he probably mentioned it . I shake it off then put in my buds and make my way toward the bus line. When I get on the bus I walk all the way to the back and sink down. The sound of loud kids was drowned out as I listened to every Rihanna song on my play list. 

When I arrived home, I went to my room. I sigh then grab Mya's obituary off the dresser. "I know, girl. I'm beautiful because God told me so and that's my homeboy, okay." I turn to see Mya sitting on my bed. She wore her favorite outfit, a misfit white beater, black leather pants, and white doc martins. She smiles then picks up a picture of my mom. "But your mom, she is a vision of true beauty." I feel jealousy sneak into my body. "Do you ever wish you could look like her when you grow up?" I shake my head then walk out, her image fading away. 

I walk to the kitchen as my stomach growls. I groan then walk toward the kitchen before I knew it the power shut off. I curse to myself then look on the counter. There sat an open light bill for 2 WEEKS AGO. I wanted to yell but instead I just grab my keys,put the bill in my pocket, and walk out the house. Making my way to my mom's job. 

James's p.o.v 

"Man who is she?" I said looking back at the beautiful girl I'd accidentally bumped into. Nate smacked his lips and shook his head. "That's Grace. You don't wanna get caught with her though." He said pulling his phone out his pocket and texting one of his many "girls". "Why?" I said adjusting my hat. 

He looks at me then laughs. "Because she isn't cheering for our team." I give him the 'what are you talking about face.' He shakes his head once again then looks down at his phone . "Let it sink in." Is all he says as we walk toward the exit of the school.

I caught on 3 minutes later when we got to Nathaniel's car. "She's gay?" I say in confusion. He looked at me with a 'duh' face then we got into the car. I shake my head then close my eyes. I hear him turn on his radio and 21 savage blast from his speakers. I open my eyes then look out the window, watching the world go by as he drove me home. 

Nate pulled into my drive way. I thanked him for the ride then made my way inside the house. The door was already unlocked, symbolizing my mother was home. I walk toward the kitchen and smile at the sight of my mom feeding my brother. "Hey, mom." I say as I kiss her cheek. She smiles back, returns the hi, then continues feeding my brother. I grab a bottle of Gatorade from the refrigerator then make my way upstairs to my room. I sit on my bed and stare at the ceiling. 

How did I not know  about this Grace girl yet? I'd been there at MLK for about 3 months and yet I'd never noticed her. I began to imagine her beauty again. The adorable face she made. As if she was afraid of something. Like she was lost. I shake her out of my head remembering she doesn't  bat for my team.She was just so sexy. I began to get aroused so instead of jacking the pole, I grab my cell phone from my pocket then hit up the first person I could think of, Audrey.

Grace's p.o.v 

When I finally arrive to moms job,Lucy's, a fast food/breakfast place, she looked confused. "Grace, you know I work late on Monday." She said. I hand her the bill. "Damn, I asked them for an extension." I groan as my belly growls. "I'm hungry."'she sighs then tells me to sit down in a booth and she'll get me something to eat. I sigh heavily and look around trying to distract myself from my growing hunger. "Jerk!" i hear someone scream.A car screeched away. My eyes shoot towards the door and  in walks a woman. She looked around the age of 24. Her caramel skin and grey-ish green eyes shone.

                  As she passed my table she slowed down as if she wanted to sit, but quickly changed her mind and sped to the booth behind me. I began playing with my fingers and wondering where my food was. Suddenly i hear hills clacking and then before me, the woman sat. "Your name is Grace, right?" she asked. In shock, i nod slowly. "I'm Malia, Mya's older sister." she said and my heart stops. I began to have a flash back. I remembered Mya speaking about her. She said that if we didn't end up in the same college, we could just drop out, go live with her sister Malia , and become strippers. I giggled at the memory. "What are you doing here?" i asked remembering Mya said she lived in Texas. "Just came to help out grandma. She's been really sick. Just here to help her get better, ya know?" she said i nod. "Here you go." My mom says as she approaches and sits my plate on the table. My mom seemed to give Malia a look and i knew exactly what that meant. "Malia, this is Mary." " Her mother she means." I roll my eyes. Here we go i think to myself.
