Illicit Affection

Chapter One

Jamie

The last bell runged for the conclusion of the day. I quickly scurried out of the school trying dodge any unwanted obstacles on the way. I was so ready to get out of here and go home to crash. I practically ran to my locker. I anxiously snatched it open making the handle nearly breaking.

''Woah, woah what's the rush babe?'' I heard Cathy's voice rang behind me. I turned around. to see my two bestfriends Cathy and Cameron slowly walking up to me. I smiled as I waited for them to approach me.

Cathy and Cameron are the only friends that I had in this school. It was a joy to see them everyday at lunch and during school. They are one of the only ones that treated me like everyone else. I loved them so much. It's really because of them I still come here. We are all close. Infact Cathy and Cameron was sibilings. Cameron is Cathy's older brother. He is a senior while Cathy and I are juniors. He has a vanilla skin color, his eyes are brown, he had a few tats , and dirty blonde hair. He is indeed cute but I just kept him as a friendly way. I'm not as attracted to him like I am with Matthew. Cathy is the exact opposite of him. She has more of a tan, her eyes are really hazel and her hair is straight blonde. Cathy was super gorgeous and model material.

I weakly smiled.

''Oh hey guys. Sorry, I'm just soo ready to get the hell out of here'' I breathed out, stuffing my books sloppily in my bag.

''You can say that again, I'm glad I get out of here soon. I can't bare another year' Cameron said leaning on the lockers next to me. He said that on purpose since he is going off to college this year but I have another year ahead of me. I frowned.

''Way to rub it in squirt'' I playfully hit his arm. He chuckled.

''My bad kiddo...damn you got them hands'' He exclaimed rubbing his muscles. I rolled my eyes.

''Hey! Violence is not the answer..but in this case it's reasonable'' Cathy said laughing. I shook my head.

''So..are you doing anything afterschool..or like now?'' Cathy asked as we began walking.

''No, staying home like always.'' I mumbled. I usually never go out. Only on ocassions and birthdays or to hang at Cathy' & Cam's. I'm not really the type to hang out at the mall or something all the time. I'm more of a home person.
She smiled.
"Come with us then to Dairy Queen'' She voulenteered. I shook my head.

''I don't know guys...''' I trailed off. Dairy Queen is where Matthew and the popular kids always hang out afterschool. I really don't mix myself up with that. I mean, half of me wants to see Matthew but then again I know I'm wasting my time. Cathy sucked her teeth.

''Come on J, I know you are not doing anything else. And I know you wanna see Matt. Pleasee come'' She begged. I looked around advoiding her puppy dog face. I hate when she does that. It's very convincing and get's me all the time.

''Oh no no sista.'' Cameron said in a girly tone and put his hands on my head making me look at Cathy.

''Now you can't say no to that face Jamie'' He pointed out. I rolled my eyes. They're always double teaming me. Cathy got on her knees and fake like she was gonna cry. I sighed.

''Whatever. Fine'' I mumbled.

''Yes! Yes! Come on before it get packed in there'' Cathy squealed in all giddy.

''You guys need to stop double teaming me. It's not fair'' I whined. They dapped each other behind my back.

''Don't be mad J. It works everytime right?..Exactly bebe'' Cameron stated, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. He smiled at me putting on his charm. He puckered his lips like he was about to kiss me. I playfully moved his head. He's always flirting with my but in a friendly, playful matter. I laughed when he pouted. I kissed his jawline. It was very close to his luxious lips.

''Happy now Cam-bam?'' He smiled suprised and slightly blushed.

''Mmm very'' He nodded, holding me closer.

''Okay, okay that's enough flirting love swans or something like that. I swear you guys are indenial sometimes on the truth'' Cathy smiled. She is always speaking her mind and ruining the moments. I mean would I ever date Cameron? He's sweet and all but that's Cathy's brother. That will be wrong of me to do that. Cameron let go off me slowly.

''You mean love birds'' I corrected her She shrugged.

''Of course you'll know the saying'' She winked running to Cam's jeep. I sighed as we got in Cameron's car and headed to Dairy Queen. They owe me big time.

The cold air hit my face making me shiver immediately. The noise of the busy ice-cream shop, and talking teens drowned my ears. I walked with Cathy as we tried to find a table.

''Oh, go sit there and I'll get the food with Cam'' Cathy demanded, pointing at a table near the jocks. I sighed. She did this on purpose. I tried oppose and look for another table but their was none in sight. I heavily walked to the table with glances from a few kids that go to our school.

I was about to sit at the table until Tiffany and her wanna-be pose pushed me out of the way, sitting at the table I found. '

'Excuse me, I was about to sit there'' I said in a rude tone. I was already fed up with being her and plus this bitch erks my nerves.

''Run along little girl. You're irrelavant right now'' She waved me off, turning her back towards me. Her pose laughed. The jocks on the side looked our way, including Matthew. I looked at him and quickly look away. I sighed.

''Look I'm already not in the mood right now , you saw me about to sit here and I-- '

' ''Is she still talking right now? Like bitch your dismissed got back to the trashy hood or the fields where you belong'' Tiffany sarcastically. My stomach was filled with butterflies. I rolled my eyes.

''Count to ten Jamie. You can do this'' I thought to myself. My anger was getting the best of me. I couldn't do anything or hold it in. I felt tears piercing my eyes I was so close to punching the smirk off this bitch face .

''Aww the poor baby is about to cry'' Jennifer, one of the girls with Tiffany', said outloud. I breathed heavily as I watched everyone look at me.

''For a black girl she sure isn't portraying herself right'' I heard someone say. No Jamie don't do this. My hand shook rapidly.

I backed up slowly and turn around. As soon as I did a waitress spilled the ice cream on my clothes. I gasped as the freezing dessert hit my bare chest. The room was silent. I looked at Tiffany when she started to laugh and soon the whole place started laughing. The tears poured out my eyes as I ran out the Dairy Queen.

Fuck this. Fuck everything. I'm done. I wiped my eyes as I quickly walked away from the scene.
