Love Is A Rocky Road

Depression

I've been in Atlanta for three days now and I haven't even stepped outside the front door. Not because I couldn't but cause I didn't want to. Yeah I have friends here, well maybe only one, but still I didn't want to.

I was laying in my bed on my phone when there was a knock on my door. I got up to see who it was. When i opened it I was surprised to see who was in front of me. It was my friend Bahja. She lives down the street. Bahja is really pretty. We're about the same height and size, she's brown skin with braces, gray eyes, and long black hair.

"When was you gone tell me you was living in Atlanta?" she asked. "I'm sorry I haven't been my self lately." I said. She came and hugged me. "I heard. I'm sorry about your parents Kobe . If you ever need something or someone, I'm here." she said. I smiled. "Thanks." I said. "But that's not why I'm here. Go get dressed we're going to a party that starts in about two hours." she said. "I don't wanna party." I said in my baby voice. " It's not an option. Now hurry I'll be here at eight. So be ready." She said pushing me towards my bathroom. "Ugh fine."I said sighing.

After getting out the shower I lotioned up, did my makeup, my nails, and flat ironed my hair. Then I put on my black fitted crop top that said flawless in white letters, my high waisted bleach jeans, with my customized cheetah print timbs. I put on my gold stud earrings, chain, bracelets, and my mom's wedding ring. To top it all off I put on red Revlon lipstick, and some Paris Amour perfume. I took a few pictures and put them on Facebook and Instagram. Soon as I went downstairs and sat down she was honking her horn .

We pulled up to the party and it was turnt up already. They was playing turnt way by Twayne. If it's one thing I love to do it's dancing. I can do all types of dancing. Me and Bahja immediately got turnt up and started bopping. I wouldn't say that I was the bop queen, but I got them on the bopping side. I was actually having fun until this boy randomly started grinding all up on me. It would have been ok if he would have just asked me to dance with him but he didn't. I turned around and pushed him off of me mugging him hard as hell. He put his hands up in surrender and walked away. Other than that the party was fun. It really got my mind off of everything.

........

The next morning I woke up feeling pretty good. Usually in the morning I go for a run so I decided to go for one today. I got in the shower and cleaned myself up. Then I got out and put on some panties with my love pink yoga pants a black sports bra, and the matching yoga jacket with my pink and black Nike's. I put my hair into a sloppy bun. I grabbed my phone and headphones with a water bottle and left out. As I was running I couldn't help but to think what my new life was gonna be like. Will I have more than one friend, will people like or hate me, will I get a boyfriend?. So many things. I was so into thought that I ran into someone making myself fall. I looked up to see the boy from the party last night. He helped me up and I took my earphones out.

"Sorry." I said. "You good. I guess that's karma for not letting me dance with you last night." he said laughing. "No it wasn't. I didn't dance with you because you didn't ask me to . I'm not a hoe. I like to be treated like a young lady." i said. He raised his eyebrows. "Well excuse me young lady. I apologize and it won't happen again." he said. "I accept your apology." I said smiling. "By the way my name is Zach." he said extended his hand. "Kobe." I said shaking his hand. He started cheesing hard as hell. "Why you smiling so hard." I said laughing. "I like your name it's different." he said. "Thanks." I said. "your welcome." he said. It was then a awkward silence.

"You just moved here?." he asked. "Yeah a few days ago. I'm from Chicago tho." he smiled. "Mhmm. A pretty light skin girl name Kobe from Chiraq. What made you move here?" he asked. "Well I moved here with my godparents because my parents died recently." I said looking down. "I'm sorry to hear that. I can tell its a touchy subject for you. But welcome to Atlanta." he said smiling. "Thanks." I said. "How old are you Kobe?" he asked. "18." I said. "Same." he said. It got quiet again. "Well it was nice running into you literally. And getting to meet you properly. I hope I see you around sometimes." he said . I laughed."You too." I said. He waved bye then started his run again. A few minutes later I ran back home.

.......

Later today Bahja came over. She wanted me to come chill with her friends at the park or whatever. I wanted to say no but she practically begged me. So now I'm getting dressed. I put on some black leggings a white loose crop top that had a black sequence heart in the front, with my white Michael Kors sandals. I let my hair hang down and put on some jewelry lip gloss and perfume. I grabbed my phone and keys then told my godparents I was going out.

We were walking and I told her about what happen this morning. She laughed and said he was her friend and he at the park too. I lowkey got happy and nervous at the same time. I tried to hide it but she saw right through me. By that time we was at the park. It was two girls and three boys. She introduced me too them. It was Kera, Jada, and Tasha. Then it was Derrick, Javion, and Zach. All the boys were cute. But I was mainly focused on Zach.

He's tall,a nice size, Lightskin with pink plump lips and brown eyes. Ooo Jesus help me. And I couldn't help but notice his body this morning. He got muscles, and a 6 pack and flawless skin. Lemme stop before I start drooling lbs.

"Hey everyone." I said after she introduced us. "Girl you fine as hell I'm finna start calling you bae ass." Javion said. I laughed." Maybe." I said. "Well you pretty as hell, and I think I saw you on TV before." Derrick said. "Ummmm well when I lived in Chicago I went to Simeon and played basketball so you probably saw me on the high school basketball channel." I said. "You're Kobe Powell? " Zach and Derrick said at the same time. I nodded yeah. "Girl you all they talk about. Kobe Powell got them on the basketball side. She so damn thick. I love Kobe I'm her number one fan. They got posters of you made." Jada said. I was dying by then. I looked at them and they were embarrassed. "Look at them blushing." Kera said. "Shut up!." They both yelled. We started laughing harder. "Anyway yeah basketball and dance is my life." I said. "All I do is dance." Jada said. "I'm a drawer." Kera said. "Bahja sings." I said. "And I'm ya bae." Javion said. I just laughed. "Come here baeee." Javion said pulling me to him. These people are crazy and funny. I love them already.
