TOO LATE. (Urban Teen Fiction)

Chapter. 15. TROUBLE BREWING

I stood there looking at Jasmine like she was crazy. Where do she get off trying to handle my situations like she the man. I was so angered about it, to the point I just threw my hands up and walked off to class as the bell rang. Jasmine ran behind calling me, but I just ignored her.

Once I got in class I sat close to the front, but of course Jasmine sits right next to me. Mrs.Hammond instructed everyone to pull out their notebook and take down the notes on the board. After instructing that to us she left out of the classroom closing the door behind her.

I continued writing the notes down when Jasmine calls my name. "Dre, so you just gone ignore me".

I looked at her still not responding. "You know your being real childish", She replied.

"You got some damn nerves approaching Justin about somethin that I talked to you in private".

"I'm sorry".

"Your sorry, wow, that's not gonna change what happened, and the fact that I can never tell you anything in confidence anymore".

"Look you don't know Justin like I do, he is very manipulative. He is in a world of his own, so don't let him fool you".

"But check this I've had my fair share of run ins, so I'm quite sure I can handle myself".

"What is with you, your new here and you think you have everything figured out, you know what I'm over helping you, just know I care about you, but this relationship won't last if you continue down the road your on".

"Are you finished cause I have notes to finish taking".

"You know what, go fuck yourself".

"I think that's a hard task to accomplish, but since you like helping me out with everything, maybe you can lend a hand".

Jasmine gets up knocking my notebook off my desk as she made her way to the back of the class. The scene she just put on caused everyone to stop what they were doing and observe what was going on. I didn't care to much since she was the one making an ass of herself. I finished taking my notes as Mrs. Hammond made her way into the classroom and told us our homework assignment as the bell rang.

I packed my things up and left the class, but Jasmine was long gone, then I crossed paths with Justin in the hallway. He stopped me asking me had I made a decision yet, but I honestly hadn't yet so I just shook my head no to answer him.

I told him that I would call him tonight once I was sure of decision and made my way to my next class. The school day progressed on until lunch, which was kind of relaxing to me since Justin or Jasmine was not there. As I sat there eating my lunch I began to think about what Jasmine had said about me not sleeping all night. I couldn't think of anything that would have kept me up, especially since I haven't had a nightmare cause Jasmine has been with me through the night. So I can admit that her being there has helped me with that issue.

I continued to stay in long thought about what could have kept me up until I was interrupted.

"Hey,  can I sit here"?

"Sure,  it ain't like I own it".

"Lol, you have a smart mouth".

"By the way my name's Tara,  what's yours"?

"Dre".

"Uhm so your the new guy that was fighting at the back to school party".

"Yea, if that's how you remember me".

"Well I remember you also by how cute you are".

"Oh thanks".

"So are you and Jasmine a couple or just friends" ?

"Well I think we still a couple, I really don't know right now since we're not talking" .

"Oh that's to bad, will if you ever need a friend to talk to, here's my number give me a call. Anytime",

She placed her number in my hand as she walked off. I put it in my phone and got up since lunch was coming to an end. I was kinda pissed that Jasmine was nowhere around during lunch, but maybe I would see her in our next class.

I got into the classroom expecting Jasmine to be there, but she never showed up that whole class period. The end of the day came and I hadn't seen Jasmine the remainder of the day, even when I made it home she wasn't in my room. I went over to her house to see if she was at home, but her mom said she wasn't in her room. I couldn't figure out where should could have been. I called her phone, and it kept ringing. I called one more time, but this time it answered to where I could hear talking in the background before it hung up.

I called again this time it rang twice then went to voicemail. I left a message, telling her to call me. An hour went by then she called me back, "what do you want"?

"I was just making sure you were ok since you just up and disappeared after class".

"Well you don't have to worry about my whereabouts, I'm good thank you".

"You know what I don't have time for the games".

"Well don't, bye", She blurted out hanging up on me.

I laid across my bed to do my homework when I ran across the number I had gotten from the girl Tara. I laid there contemplating if I should call her just for conversation. I finished up my homework and laid there watching t.v..  It was dark outside and no sign of Jasmine, I text her phone, (hey it's late, getting worried are you coming thru).

(Like I said before don't worry about me).

I couldn't believe how childish she was acting so I stopped texting her and texted Tara. (Hey this Dre, just seeing if you were up).

(Yes I'm up was kinda waiting up to see if you would call, I feel a lil better since you decided to text me.). (That's what's up, what you doing.). (Nothing just doing my hair, what you doing.). (Nothing much just watching t.v.). (Where your girlfriend?). (Don't know and right about now I'm not caring.). (Wow she must have made you mad, everything ok?). (Naw, she mad at me about some nonsense that she had nothing to do with.). (Well it must be serious if she upset about it.). (Its not serious, nothing I can't handle, but enough about her I really don't want to talk about her.). (Sorry didn't want to offend you, so how do you like it here.). (It's ok still getting used to being here.). (Well maybe I could show you around after school tomorrow.). (That's cool but I don't have a car.). (I do, just meet me after school in the student parking lot.). (Ok will see you then, well at lunch maybe, if you gone be around.). (Sure see you then, goodnight.). (Goodnight.).

I laid my phone down on the nightstand and called it a night.

So what do y'all think about Dre talking to Tara.  And how long will Dre and Jasmine be mad at each other.
