💙Lamaya💙

Chapter 3

I woke up to the a loud knock at the front door of the house.
Who the hell's that?
I stuck my feet into my blue bedroom slippers and shuffled to the front door. Some people just do not have manners. I thought.
I opened the door only to be grabbed by the neck by cold hands, mouth covered.
The person pulled me to my backyard. The stranger let my mouth free and i was about scream but i was clumped in the mouth again.
The person shushed me. I took this time to really analyze who my captor was. He looked very familiar but i couldn't remember where i met him.
"You dont remember who I am Lamaya?" He said
"We met in school. I'm Travis..Eens friend."
My eyes widened at the name Een. I struggled harder to go free but Travis held unto me tighter.
"Look. Dont be alarmed okay? I wont harm you. I'm here to help you.I'm going to lift my hand from your mouth now. Promise you wont scream?" He said
I nodded and tried as much to show sincerity with my eyes.
He then slowly lifterd his palm
"Help me?!" I whispered. "If you are truly here to help me you won't kidnap me from my home and drag me here. So now! If you really are here to grant me help..you would freaking let go off me!" I said a little louder this time.
"Okay..okay i have. Just keep your voice down" he said as he raised his arms in surrender.
"Thank you." I said sarcastically as i dusted my self down.
"Okay. Look. I know Een. She's going to take advantage of you and ruin you. She's going to destroy your life. She's not friend material. Dont go to that meeting. She'll ruin you" he said and sucked in air like he didn't breathe through out his statement.
"How do I trust you?You are a part of her gang anyways. Im sure you've also been lagging on some of their stupid "strength pillar". What a stupid tacky name to give to a drug."
"I swear i've never taken any of their stuff. Okay let me tell you the whole truth. I've been trying to be the school's writer for a long time now. I asked for applications and i was told that the school news section was taken by someone else. Now Saymore has moved and i took that as a cue to jump on the opportunity. As a form of a kind of..uh...audition, i was asked to write a very catching article. If the chief editors like it, they'd publish it and i'd get the post. So now im working on my article "The differently coloured in the void of many". Through this I'm going to expose them and their devious ways. So basically im working undercover" he said
"Wow. You are really self centered aren't you? Do you know what this article is going to do to the image of the blacks in this school? We all become known as drug dealers. We would all be generally categorised like that. Dont you think this is an underestimation to your race? Withouth you knowing, you get your beloved post but put some of us in God knows what"
Travis' eyes dulled. I think it started to dawn on him
"You're right. I think I'd be left with no choice than to edit my ways of going about this article"
I snorted. Uh duh!
"So..i just had to tell you not to meet with them tommorow. Please. I know you're not like them so i don't want you involved in any trouble my exposè is going to get them into" he said.
I smiled a little.
"What makes you think I'm different?"
"From the moment you first came to
S.D.H. I knew you were different. I tried to approach you. You know..only to be friends, but i saw that you kept to yourself and didn't have many friends so i decided against it. I thought maybe you'd not want to be friends or something"
I blushed. The feeling of actually being studied by someone or someone actually hoping to be friends with me was kind of nice.
"Well I believe that you actually mean well and really want to help me. So yeah..I guess our friendship could start from here" I said
"Well.." he said walking closer to me in way that our noses where almost touching. "I haven't had a pretty friend in a while" he said and laughed.
The dawn light cast a low glow on his face. I couldn't help but recognize how handsome he was.
"Well then" he said snapping me out of my thoughts. I hope he didn't realize me gawping at him."I'd better be going now. Happy Weekend!" He said and walked away.
I watched him till he was out of sight.
He's nice. I thought.

I jumped on my bike riding to the Douglas Mansion.My Saturday shifts where easier because it started from 6:30 to 9:30. It seems Saturdays are the days Mr Douglas decides to give his workers a "chill off".
"Hi darling. Work duties for the shift. Breakfast.Clean Office.Fix Bedroom. Easy peasy..."
"...lemon squeezy." I said laughing at Mrs. Q as i entered through the kitchen door.
I was finally done with all my work and was rushing out the door when i heard Mrs. Q say "Where are you in a haste to darling?"
I blushed "Erh..well there's this guy.."
"OH GOODY! You're going on a date? Thats wonderful. You've gotta stop keeping to yourself so much these days. One would think you have no friends."
I shook my head and laughed whilst i walked out. I jumped on my bicycle and rode back home.
I walked into the house only to see a pack of cigs on the coffee table. Lané was watching a show with her legs propped up in the glass table.
"Oh hey lil sis" she said looking at me
"Hi." I said flatly
"You know..you don't need to be so mean. I made mom breakfast so the responsibilty is off you now. You're welcome"
I felt disgusted at my sister. " ITS BOTH OUR RESPONSIBLILITES, LANÉ! She's our mom. We are both supposed to care for her so what do you mean by "the responsibility is off me"! It's also your responsiblity" i screamed.
"I'm so sick and tired of your irresponsible behaviour. You are 22 for f*cks sake! You're supposed to be in college or having your own apartment! You spend the night sleeping out like the slut that you are and come home puking all over the floor. Leaving ME to clean up your shameful mess!" I ranted
"Look lil sis! Its my life. Stop trying to boss me around! Maybe i prefer not to live a weirdo life with no friends. I actually LIVE my life" Lané said.
"How dare you.." i retorted
"Girls. Please. Quit it!" We heard a voice say
We turned and gasped simultaneously.
It was mom.
