Why Him

Chapter 1

Emily's POV

I guess my story is as cliché as any romance story invented . I grew up in an unsafe neighborhood(For a white kid anyway).My birth parents left (more like abandoned)me at the front door of my (now) adoptive parents,René and Malcolm Woods,they are black folks and fortunate for me ,they took me in as their firstborn,but a couple of years later, René got pregnant and gave birth to Ráshaw than Ayanda .

You see ,I might not have been their real child but as any parent,they treated me Luke their own.

A few years later,life hit us HARD...René died...It was hard on all of us but mostly Malcolm, he didn't care anymore...he just drank and drank and drank some more until it got dark,and that helped him loose his job.

Everynight he would come home drunk and late and start having conversations with himself,and this went in for like 12 years,by then Ráshaw and Ayanda were 12 and 13 years old and i had to take care of them because Malcolm just ...didn't care.

So i decided to get a job,I've been working at Greg's diner for three years now and earn around $5000 dollars a month.

Life has been hard and being the only one to take care of my siblings whom I love so much,doesn't make it easier when I'm a child who has to struggle with my school.

I'm practically an outsider in my own school,I spent my years behind books and being unnoticed. I decided to buy myself a car ,A Mercedes GLA and it wasn't cheap either ,after i drop the kids off at their school,i head to my own.

I get to school and head to my locker ,a blue rusty one while everyone else's is designed to perfection, i grab my books and head to class.

             Break Time
I grab food from the cafeteria lady and head to my car,I just find it awkward having to eat in front of a whole zoo.

I Finnish the last of my burger while clean bandit's  song starts playing,right then a guy parks his motorbike next to my car and all of the sudden ,the whole zoo is outside and they start chanting

"Hosè!! Hosè!!! Hosè !!"

"I've just had enough of these animals"  I say and press the middle of my steering wheel and the crowd keeps quiet, I roll down my window and shout :

" Shut up!!"

I quickly reverse the car and just as i was about to head out ,some black leather pants lover decided to stand in front of my window and knocks at it.I roll down my window and with the same look on my face ,i say:

"What?"

" Is this your car?"

"Who's asking?"

I say in a monotone voice.

"Wait-you don't know who I am?"
"Oh now I remember." I say and he smiles"A douche bag with a sheepish egoistic look on his face" i say and just then ,he stops smiling and leans closer to my window.

"So you seriously do t know who I am?I'm Hosè Dos Santos-I'm the most popular guy here and you don't kn-"
I don't really care as to who you are. Now if you don't mind..." He gives me a puzzled look , I roll my eyes at him and drive off... BOYS😒
