Rebecca
My heart was beating one hundred times per second. I could feel my palms sweating. I was a nervous wreck. I listened to my heel tap the marbled floor as we walked towards the gym. Matthew gave my hand a squeeze.
"It's gonna be alright."
For you it is. We came into view and I looked out at my classmates and other grade levels and saw division. Most of the blacks off to one said and vice versa with the whites. Where were we to stand?
Matthew handed our gym teacher our tickets. He looked at us bewildered. "Have a good night."
"Thanks."We said.
"One. Two. Three. Let's go!"
"Ayyye!"the blacks cheered. Oh my god, it's my song!!
"Throw that shit back. Throw that shit, throw that shit, throw that shit back."
Matthew must have caught me vibing to the beat. "You wanna dance?"
"Can you dance?"
"I can saddle up."
I bust out laughing. "Well let's go."
"Tell ha take it to the floor. And then she bend over and yike it.
Big ass booty on my lap, make a nigga so excited.
She a freak when she yike on it."
Matthew had a grip on my hips and kept up with me. I was surprised. We had even formed a lil crowd.
"Uh oh! White boy gettin some play!"
"You better get it Matthew!"
"Tame that ass boy!"
These people having too much fun. We danced to a few more songs and decided it was time for a punch break.
"Damn Rebecca, ian know you got down like that!" Matthew said pouring us some punch.
"Me?! Look at you!"I laughed.
"Told you I could saddle up."
He handed me my glass. "Thank you sir."
"My pleasure madam."
I was sipping my juice when some girl approached Matthew. "This your date?"She asked with a smug face.
"Um yes."I butted in. "So he won't be needing a lil Goodnight visit honey."
I grabbed his hand and pulled him to a corner.
"Damn that was sexy."he said kissing me.
"Stop before we get in trouble."I moaned out. He was kissing down my neck.
"I don't care. You ready to go?"
I bit my lip. "Yea let's g-"
"Ladies and gentlemen it's time to announce this year's homecoming King and Queen!"
"Right after this!"
I said pulling him back in the crowd.
We all made a circle in the room so the King and Queen had room for their dance. Matthew stood behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist and our bodies mashed against each other. I could feel his erection poking my lower back. He would kiss the back of my neck ever so often and whisper sweet nothings into my ear. I had to bite my lip to keep from moaning.
"This year's homecoming King is...Matthew Sutton!"
I gasped. "Yay baby!" I gave him a kiss and watched him leave to the stage. He was crowned and stood waiting for the queen to be announced.
"And this year's homecoming Queen is...Brittany Murphy!"
Ehh. I was not surprised. She walked up next to Matthew and the crowd cheered. She was crowned and they both took to the middle of the floor where they were to have the first dance. Every one died down and the music began to play.
"Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow."
"Ugh. I heard her and Matthew are together."I began to hear whispers around me.
"I don't see why."
"He shoulda stayed with Brittany. They're way cuter."
"One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more"
I looked at Matthew and Brittany and saw what everyone else was seeing. They did look good together. How could a black girl like me ever match up to that? I shook my head and stormed out the gym.
Matthew
I was so ready for this to be over. I was ready to get back to Rebecca.
"I saw you come in with her. Are yal like a thing?"Brittany asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Yea."
"I still don't see why you left me."
"Cause you ain't her Brit damn. Ian gotta explain myself."
I could tell that hurt her but shit I really ain't care. The song was coming to an end and I searched the crowd for Rebecca. The fuck? Where she go?
Once the song ended I went all up and through the gym looking for her. I found one of the football players and asked if they had seen her.
"Yea man, she left a while ago."
"Left?" What the hell. "Was she alright?"
"I don't know. She looked upset."
Shit. "Iight, thanks man."
I dapped him up and ran outside. I didn't see Rebecca's car so I figured she had already gone to the hotel room I got us. She told her parents she was staying with KeKe and well, I told mine I just wasn't coming home. I got in my car and sped to the hotel.
