Good Girl vs Bad Boy

London Meets Bad Boy

It was cold walking into my school this morning. I spotted my friends and quickly walk over to them. Jasmine sees me coming and immediately a smile popped on her face.

"So, did you do it? Did you talk to you-know-who?" Jasmine says eager for my answer.

"Yes and no" I said with a nervous smile.

"London" with a pout on her voice "tell me what happened."

I explained to Jasmine what happened yesterday. I told her about my conversation with Travon. I told Jasmine what Shay did and how I left before even talking to him. When I finished explaining what had happened, Jasmine had a plank look on her face.

"Why the fuck would she do that! Man, that's wrong and she know how you are. She shouldn't have done that. I can stay today if you want me to be there when you talk to him."

"Ummm naw it's okay I'm just going to let it go" I said to Jasmine with a depressed look on my face.

"You sure?"

".....yeah, I'm sure."

The first period warning bell ring as Jasmine and I walk hand in hand playfully. Shay spots us down the hall and runs to us.

"Hey ya, London I talk to Rashawn for you. He said all he just wants to hear you say it instead of other people coming to him" Shay says to me smiling like nothing happened last night.

"So, London what are you going to do?" Jasmine says looking at me.

"Okay first of all, how the hell did you even find out about this? Why the hell did you talk to him?"

"Why are you mad, I'm trying to help you out."

"I didn't ask for your help. You don't know how to help people in these situations."

Getting loud "don't be mad at me because your scared!"

"Dude, I swear to God, get out of my face."

The final bell rings indicating that we're late for class. Still walking at our same pace, Jasmine walks with me to my first period.

"Don't be mad at her hun. She was only trying to help" with that said we go our separate ways.

I walk into my first hour Spanish to the smell of something delicious.

"Ahhh, Buenos dias, London. Grab a plate, juice, and chips then come to the back" Ms. Powers said with a smile on her face.

As instructed I gathered all my things and headed towards the back to see some Spanish stew in a pot. It smelled so good I just had to try some. As she fills my plate with the delicious food I head back to the classroom and sat next to Angel.

Angel was a vegetarian. She came to school everyday with snacks. So she didn't eat the stew but she did partake in the juice and chips.

"Hey London, how did it go yesterday" Angel says with a smile on her face.

"I didn't do it. I have to talk to him during lunch hour about it but I don't want to anymore. I'm just going to do it to get it over with."

"It's going to be fine, London. Don't worry"

"Yeah whatever." I started to tell Angel about what happen yesterday and how Shay was being an ass and wasn't helping at all.

"Oh well you know she was only just trying to help."

"Yeah whatever"

Angel laughs "why do you keep saying 'yeah whatever' you know you care."

"Yeah whatever" I said this time laughing with her.

The bell rings as school continues on through the day when lunch time hits. I meet up with my friends at our hangout but it seemed like today no one was cheerful. So instead of acting crazy we just walked around and talked. Jasmine, Angel, Tyler and I walk into the choir room to sit, talk, and listen to the kids sing. We notice Rashawn was sitting by himself in the corner playing the piano.

"Now's your perfect chance, London." Angel says.

"Yeah no ones looking. No one is around him. Its perfect." Jasmine says smiling

"Then you can come back and tell us about it" Tyler says laughing.

"Fine."

As I walk closer to Rashawn my heart starts pounding so loud I thought it was going to burst.

"Hey Rashawn"

He looks up with a smile "hey, come sit next to me" patting the seat next to me.

"Ummm I'm still pretty nervous so can we just get this over with right now."

"Sure. I like you and all but I'm still trying to get over my ex so I'm not really looking for a relationship right now."

"Okay good" I said with a smile trying to play like I didn't care. I walk away ready to cry. I walk past my friends and out the choir door. Moments later they were right behind me wondering why I left.

"So what happened?" Jasmine says. I told them what Rashawn had just told me trying to hold back my tears.

"See this is why no one knows who I like cause of shit like this. Ughhh I'm good, I'm good."I say trying to force a smile. "I know I shouldn't be mad at Rashawn. I mean it's not his fault."

They all give me a group hug as the final bell rings. Angel decides to skip her class and come to mine. I had a substitute so I didn't mind her being there.

"Ughhh Angel I'm soooo done with boys. Don't get me wrong I know he was being nice saying it but ughhh. I don't know. I can't find one guy that I like that will like me back. Look at me I'm destined for a guy only my size, I can't have someone that look like Chris Brown."

"Your not fat or ugly, London. If you want I can hook you up with my friend he's cute as a matter of fact I have a picture of him. See " Angel shows me a picture of this fine Puerto Rican boy. He had a tattoo of angel wings on his chest. As I look at the picture I notice he had everything physical wise that I like. He was Puerto Rican,nice hair, a six pack, and he was muscular.

"Angel this is the exact type of boy that will never go with me" I said trying to hold back a smile but I couldn't.

"You don't know that. He is a sweet and bad boy at the same time. I'm going to show him a picture of you then see how he feels."

"No don't do that cause if he say sum bad i will hurt him and I'm not playing. What pictures do you have of me anyway?"

"I have a lot of photos of all ya. And videos. When ya be fighting each other or playing I take pictures" Angel says laughing.

"Okay I mean what harm can it do." I reach for her phone looking through the photos of the mystery boy she just shown me. He's gorgeous but he's not the type of guy that likes big girls. It will be nice to date him but he's not going to be into me. He seems like the cheater type. Well there's no harm in just asking. "What's his name?"

"Sean"
