Leah Pov
My name is Leah and I'm 16 years old. I am 5'3 with long brown curly hair brown eyes and I'm light skin. I live in the Bronx with my mother. My father lives across the country and he left when I was 6. I never really knew the real reason of why he left but I know they split.My mother is a business woman and she had me when she was only 21. She has a boyfriend named David but me and him rarely speak. I just assume he's the quiet type. His not who I imagine my mom to be with but it's her choice. Also I attend Perington high. Enough about me let's get to the story!

Beeeeeeeeep! Beeeeeeeeeeeep! Beeeeeeeeeep! My alarm sounded as I woke up to get ready for school. It was currently 6:45 am. I took a shower with my vanilla scented bath and bodyworks body-wash. 15 minutes later I got out the shower and handled my hygiene. I threw my hair into a neat ponytail and did my edges. After I did my hair I walked into my huge walk in closet. I decided to wear my olive green body suit with my tims. I then put on my necklace with my name on it and my Rolex I got for Christmas last year.

In case you don't know this is the first day of school since summer break. I walked downstairs and saw a note from my mom. As I ate a bowl of my favorite cereal which are Frosted Flakes I read the note it said,"Dear baby girl Im off on a business trip for the next two weeks I trust you and David enough to leave you too home alone Ms.Smith(our next door neighbor) will keep a eye on u.Love u and don't do anything crazy.

I was use to this mom was always at work or in a business trip so I was ok and I liked Ms.Smith she is a aunt to me but David I hope doesn't bother me. I then grabbed my iPhone 8+ and my keys to my all white Bentley and headed to school. About 10 minutes later I pulled up to the school. As I walked in the school I earned stares from everybody. I walked to my locker grabbed my books and headed to first period.

As I was in class I heard the door open and close. I looked up to see this fine ass boy walk in the classroom. Mrs.Johnson my English teacher introduced us to the boy.

"Everyone this is Jeremiah our new student" she stated. All the girls were fighting for his attention but for some odd reason his eyes were on me. I blushed lightly and continued taking notes. That's until I heard mrs. Johnson tell Jeremiah to sit beside me. I acted as if I wasn't paying attention and finished taking notes. Seconds later I felt a tap on my shoulder followed by a piece of paper. The paper said "look right". I looked up to see Jeremiah sitting there with a wide smile.

"Wassup ma"he said.

"Not your ma but nothing much." I said with attitude.

" My bad...." he stammered trying to figure out my name.

" Leah"I said before the bell rung and i quickly ran out of class. As I made my way down the hallway I spotted my bestfriend Bella.

"Heyy bitch "she yelled out causing almost all the people to stop and stare.

"Hey ratchet "I laughed as she ran up on me eager to get a hug."Girl it's a new boy named Jeremiah"I said low-key gushing.

"Bitch is he fine?"

"He ight" I said but in my mind I was like hellllll yeaaaaaaa!!! I described him him to her."He like 6'1 wit sexy curly hair and these amazing white teeth and-"

"Awwwwwwww my bestie got a crush my bestie got a crush" she screamed laughing. I was about to correct her but her boyfriend Anthony came up behind her and took her away. I laughed and yelled "you gon get enough of stealing my best friend from me! "He preceded to take her and flick me off."Nah dats for Bella"i laughed.As I turned around I bumped into someone. I looked up to see Jeremiah standing there looking at me. I was just stuck there staring at his beauty....this boy was GORGEOUS!

"Wassup Leah?"

"N-nothing "I stuttered

"Well I will love to get to know you better ma...im diggin you"he said smiling showing his pearly whites.

I couldn't help but to smile and nod my head eagerly like a three year old.
"Yea that'll be cool." I responded
"I need help finding my next class....we can start there "
"Ok"I said holding my hand out
"So are u going to help me"
"Schedule" i whispered.i could see the embarrassment on his face as he handed it to me."We have all the same classes" i exclaimed showing maybe too much excitement than I should've.

"U seem excited to have all yo classes with yo big daddy"
"Who cause i know damn well it ain't u"
"O ok"he mumbled something under his breathe
"What was that?"
"Nothing"I knew he was lying "So Leah shouldn't we head to class"
" yea hurry up for we be late Mr.Black be tripping"
"Ight" he laughed as I dragged him by his hand.

As soon as we walked into class it was a problem. "Where have you two been?"Mr brown asked. "We was doing something for Ms.Lee "I lied. "Alright then let's see if your telling the truth "he shot back. I looked at Jeremiah to see him looking at me laughing. I flicked him off and turned my attention back to Mr.Brown who was calling Ms.Lee. Long story short we both got detention for being late and lying. I was so mad bruh. Then this boy think this junk funny. I decided to give him the silent treatment. Laugh at that!

"Leahhhhh"
No answer
"Leahh"
No answer
"I know you hear me!"
No answer
"Ight then be like that"
No answer

All of a sudden I was being tickled to death. I couldn't even talk! I was literally dying of laughter. I don't know how this boy know I'm ticklish!
"Okayy! "I screamed
"Okayy what?"
"Okayy Jeremiah!"
"Nahhh you gotta say ok daddy"
"Nope!"I yelled.
"Ight then "he said as he began tickling me some more.
"Alright Alright! Ok daddy!"
"Im sorry what was that you said? "He asked as he continued to tickle me.
"I said OK DADDY!"
"That's better "he said as he sat back in his seat like nothing happened.
I sat there just examining him. From his hair to his eyes to his feet. But I knew I couldn't fall for him he seemed like a major fuckboy that's gonna break my heart like everyone else. He already has mad thots and he doesn't even know it. "I'm mad tired and we still have a hour left in here so Ima take a nap"I say puttin my phone next to me on the desk as I laid down.

1 hour later we were out of detention and i walked home. I thank God that I don't live far away! I made it to my house and fixed me something to eat. I decided on cooking me some Ramen Noodles. After i ate and washed my dish I went upstairs and got my clothes out to take a bath. I then hopped in the shower. As i was in the shower I heard the front door open. Its either my mom or her boyfriend I thought. But it couldn't be my mom unless she took off her business meeting." I finished my shower and stuff and got out the restroom. I instantly got scared at the sight of my moms boyfriend sitting on my bed. He was just sitting there looking calm a little too calm. I mean he never did anything to me but today im second guessing. Thoughts of running out the door came to mind but I was in my towel. He started to stare at me with lust in his eyes. All of a sudden i was lectured about getting detention with "boys" and quote on quote trying to be "grown". This man is acting weird and Im scared as hell bruh. "CAN YOU LEAVE!" i shouted at him as he just laughed. But he left. I just felt like I wasn't safe....My mother's boyfriend is a PREDATOR!
