Jacky-

'Why did I do that!' I thought, feeling my cheeks burn from embarrassment, 'why did I kissed her on the cheek, she probably thinks I'm a fag...but it felt so right' I continued to think, walking inside my house, not seeing anyone here, 'of course no one's here' I thought bitterly, going up to my room; I set my things beside my bed, as I collapsed on the soft sheets, " I should practice, I don't want Tala to think I'm some rich lazy snob...which I'm probably...most likely am." I said to myself, sitting up.

I opened up my guitar case, revealing the nice polished acoustic guitar, 'its kind of funny, that I became good friends with Tala, even though no one knows, since we decided to make people think we don't like each other in public...but I wish I didn't have to hide though, then maybe I can be...something more' I thought, but quickly put that out of my mind, "what am I thinking about, probably crazy thoughts again." I told myself, positioning the guitar, so I can began my very first practice.

It was yet another dreadful Monday, and all I want to do is either talk to Tala, who is currently beside me, or be at home, so I can practice a little bit more; "ok class, we are doing another project, and like I said many times before, your partner is right beside you, and no complaining, you will get more information from the sheet that will be handed to you shortly." Mr. Chance instructed, still having that same cheerful smile, after the paper was passed to us, I turned to Tala, "do you want to start it now, or at your house?" I asked, reading the paper: 30 day partner challenge, draw your partner for 30 days, and DON'T BE LAZY.

"How about at my house, so we don't have to worry about distractions." Tala said giving me a grin, that made me feel giddy inside, "yea, and that means more cookies!" I said excitedly, making her chuckle, "what is with you and cookies,, its bad enough my own father is a cookie-addict too." Tala giggled out, "eh, who knows, maybe I'm just in love with your baking." I said back, smirking at the site of her cheeks turning a bit red, "well, don't think your off the hook, you still need to show me if learned the lesson." she said, making me pout, "aww come on Cherry, why not give me at least two more weeks." I begged, giving her my best puppy dog eyes, "sorry, but we've been through that lesson for almost a month, so no." she said finally, making me groan in annoyance, "finnnne." I drawled out, right before the bell ranged.

We went our separate ways, me going to math, and her going to general music; "hey Jacky... can I ask you something?" my best friend asked, coming out of nowhere, startling me a bit, "yea go ahead." I said, giving her a smile, "um...how do yo-you feel about co-colored people, I know its a dumb question, but I wanted t-to hear it from you." Tracey said, stumbling with her words a bit, 'what I think about them... I never thought about it before, I mean I use to hate colored people, but now...' I pondered, as we took our seat, Tracey looking at me nervously, "well, I have always hated colored people... but... maybe I can try to understand them, I understood Tala and her father... but I really don't know in till I actually try." I answered truthfully, feeling good inside.

There was a long empty silence between us, as the class starts to fill up, "c-can I hang out w-with you and Tala, I-I just..." Tracey trailed off, not looking me in the eye, "um, may I ask why, is there something going on?" I asked her, trying to catch her attention, "w-well, you know how I told you that my mom is dating this guy, right?" she asked, still not looking at me, "yea..." I said with a nod, "well, t-the man she is dating...is colored." Tracey said quietly, only for my ears, I was beyond shocked, but I didn't feel any hate or disgust, "o-oh, w-well ok then, I can defiantly ask if you can join us, but remember, I'm still your best friend, no matter what." I said with a grin, engulfing my friend into a tight hug, before letting go, both of us now smiling when the teacher came.
