The Opposite Blend

Make a U-turn and Try Again

The next two weeks went by surprisingly smoothly, my work was in on time, there were no distractions. No messages, not even a word from Colton, he wasn't at lunch or in 6th, However Brumbough never counted him absent. When he did role call he'd say "Colton is here" and no one corrected him. That's none of my business though.

Carmiah had I actually made some friends, since we'd been here. They wasn't close like Dillion was but they were someone to talk to.

Today was Wednesday and I was refreshed. Things have started to get somewhat normal.

A loud static pop erupted through the classroom. I wasn't phased though, I've  grown used to the sound.

"Student please arise for the pledge", the principal started, I rose and placed my hand on my heart along with everyone else.

".... I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God.........."

We did the traditional moment of silence before they told us to sit down.

" Liberty high students, morp is his week, reminder this week. The theme is Winter Wonderland. Please dress appropriately, I should see no skanks. Morp is 7pm to 10:30pm on Friday. Have a wonderful day."

A smile stretched across my face. I looked back to Dillion and smiled at him mischievously. He shook his head at me and leaned over his desk to reach my ear.

"I have to attend a family dinner, my nanas coming". He whispered. My lips curved into a thin line and I turned around really irritated he couldn't go. Carmiah always has a date to everything, I'll admit she is the prettier twin, always has been. But this school is full of racist pigs so she won't have a date, we can go together,

The class went by and the bell has run. I began to walk away until Dillion tapped my shoulder.

"By the way, I have to stay after class 4th period so you are going to sit alone for about 15 minutes, sorry." Dillion said calmly like what he said was NOTHING.

"Did I do something to you to make you?" I said staring at him in horror.

"Stop being dramatic Kayla, it's only 15 minutes". He tilted his head giving me a 'come on now, don't be like that' face.

"You know I have no friends, you can't leave me............ ever and as my best friend I forbid you to leave," I said desperately.

"Oh my Lord, come with me.  I was absent and I gotta make up a frog dissect--"

" I'll see you 15 minutes from lunch".

Classes went by and it was now lunch.

And I was sitting

All

A-

Freaking-

Lone.

I was embarrassed.

New black girl has no friends or place to go blah blah blah

Ughh

I hated feeling that way. I put my head down and started to daydream of a place where I would feel comfortable.

Wakanda

But I can't do that.

I find myself thinking about Colton, I have the urge to 

talk to him, 

look at him, 

feel him. 

I lifted my head up and looked at his perfect white face.

He wore yet another white t-shirt and dark blue jean pants. He looked so delicious, I couldn't help but stare. I must have faded away because  I didn't notice him walking over to me until it was too late.

"Hey precious." Colton smirked wildly.

"Hello sack of peeled potatoes." I say confidently. Colton quirks an eyebrow at me and shows a face of amusement.

"Really?" He said giving me the 'Are you serious' eyes.

"Yea" I nod proudly. I took a long dramatic sip to add to my extra-ness. Colton smoothly leaned into my ear and I felt electricity flow through my sensors in my skin.

"You. Me. The dance. I'll pick you up."Colton demanded.

I love this type of  assertiveness, it makes Colton seem all much more attractive. What a fine white man he truly is.

Sadly I can never truly enjoy assertiveness without getting somewhat offended.

"Make a U-turn and try again, I'm a young educated lady and you will treat me as so or you can walk away," I said firmly with sass. I folded my arms to give me a dominant demeanor, in which I always have in bed.

Jakayala....you a whole virgin

Colton opened his mouth and closed then proceeded to put his head down as if he was thinking long and hard about how to treat a lady. He looked at me and stood up straight. He grabbed my hand and looked me in my eye. His eyes are those of a bear, so calm but wild, so rich. He wet his lips and sucked in a breath.

"Jakayla I haven't known you long but every bone in my body wants to be with you at the dance, will you please go with me precious," Colton said, if I dare say, a tad uneasy.

He is so sweet,  he really knows how to make a female feel special.  It's nice being wanted kinda but then again.

"No"

"No?"

"You didn't think I'd forget about Dillion, did you?" I drawled out. Colton blew out a sign and sat down.

"I don't know why you sitting down you gotta go and I mean right no--", Colton interrupts my sentence with his own,  his face flashed mixed emotions. I look around for Dillion nervously.

"Why don't you like me, why are you the ONLY person who doesn't like me" he said whispering more to himself than me.

I get agitated because despite everything he's done, I can't stop thinking about him.

He's more to what he puts on but I can't figure him out.  I'm also agitated because he makes it seem like I should just be like the other skanks here and bow before him. Yea no, a queen never kneels.

"I am not a liberty whore..so what you do and say don't influence me so sorry" I say with an eye roll.

"No.....you like me, I know you do, you just try to hide it". He played a smirk and leaned in intimidatingly close.

"Nah, you should try hiding your hot breath before my eyebrows fall off." I smirked

"Prove it then, prove you don't like me," he said licking his bottom lip.

"How," I asked pretending not to be  interested.

"Go on a date with me tonight"

Over. My. Dead. Body

No way, never, bro-girl code.

"NO, GET AWAY." I said "rolling my eyes.

Why is it that he doesn't get, no means no. He probably doesn't recognize the words with him being so privileged.

"Okay I'll just have to tell Dillion about how much you like me" he smirked.

"He wouldn't believe you"

"You sure about that"

"Yup"

Thank ya'll
