A New Path

Chapter 9: A Day With Him

It's been a few weeks since Andre has been gone and I think I was doing better. Andre and I would talk and talk. We would talk about our day, how it was where we were, how much we miss each other, even we would just call each other to hear our voices. Some days, Andre wouldn't call because he was busy but I still knew he was thinking of me when I would get a text saying 'Good Morning Baby' or 'Good Night Sweetie. Sweet dreams' and other sweet things. Our summers were done and we both started Junior High School. On my first day of school, I was scared but I was getting older and I didn't have to deal with Bonnie for a while but I spoke too soon when I saw Bonnie enter my first period class.

"Hello Jasmine," she said walking right over to me.

"Bonnie."

"I see your best friend isn't here, what did he dump you and wants nothing to do with you anymore?"

"No, he moved for your information."

"Well seems like you have no more protection from me anymore."

"What a joy," I said annoyed. The rest of the day was kind of easy. When I got home, I called Andre immediately.

"Hi baby," he answered.

"Hi."

"How was your first day of school?"

"It was ok. Bonnie is in my school."

"If she touches us, I will come up there myself and get her if I have too."

"Baby that's not necessary. I'm not a little girl anymore."

"I know but you are still my girl and I don't want anything happening to you."

"I know and I thank you for that."

"You know I love you right."

"Yes I do," I said smiling.

"Well I got to go do homework."

"Ok."

"I love you."

"I love you too," I said and then I hung up.

Years passed and I was heading off to High School now. Middle School wasn't that bad. Bonnie still picked on me but not as much. In high school, once again Bonnie was there and so was her brother. While in high school, Bonnie's brother Trevor, was very handsome after knowing him all these years. All of us changed. Bonnie turned into a pretty young lady, well she was never ugly in the beginning but it was just her attitude. I too have grown nicely, too nicely in fact that guys started hitting on me, even Trevor. For a 10 year old to an 18 year old today, I went from 4' 10" to 5' 8", my chest went from training bra to 36 C and I had a little cake to an average size butt with nice curves. In high school, Bonnie made fun of me, bullied me and told lies about me and I had few friends. I had just turned 18 and school was over in a few months. Even though Bonnie was mean to me, Trevor wasn't. He started doing nice things for me and he was extremely shy around me. He told me one day that he was done bullying me because he liked me a lot and just wanted me to at least accept the new him and that I did.

One day, when I just left the school building, I saw a car pull up in front of me. Suddenly, my heart stopped because I thought it was Andre. Since me and Andre started high school, we haven't spoken as often. I would hear from him once in a while but that was it. The person rolled down their window and I saw it was Trevor.

"Hi Jasmine, um would you like to get something to eat with me?"

"Um I don't know." I was still Andre's girlfriend and if I went with him, I would be cheating. It's not like we were kissing or anything.
