Growing Affection

Once I got home, I started to get a little excited. It's hard to believe that the most beautiful girl in school is taking an interest in me. Im not even all that. Victor ended up telling everyone what happened at lunch and now everybody think Im the man. Im really just a timid mess, though. I was too nervous to call her that day. But i eventually built up the courage to call her today. She picked up almost the second I called. "Hello?" Chyna said with a slight crack in her voice. "Hi Chyna, it's Devin." I nervously replied. "Why are you speaking so low Devin? I can barely hear you." She was laughing. I feel like I messed up. "Oh I just had something in my throat. Wassup with you?" "Nothing, I just been waiting for you to call. I didn't get it yesterday." "Oh yeah I was busy umm..." I got stuck in my words. "Busy what?" "Busy doing Ms. Coleman's homework." "Hahaha, really? Devin, you do realize that I have that class with you? She hasn't given any homework." "Oh yeah I forgot." I was bombing it. I had to quickly change the subject. "So what made you give me your number?" "Well to be honest, I was feeling you. You're cute and you're wholesome. You're the only boy in the school that wasn't thirsty for me, so I wanted to see what you were about." "Really?" I said with joy. "Well do you want hang out sometime?" "Of course I do. I was just going to ask you the same thing. Is tomorrow ok?" "Yeah, just text me your address and I'll pick you up at 6." "Ok, I'll see you then. Bye." "Bye, goodnight." Now i knew i had to be dreaming. I have a date with Chyna. We went to a Kevin Hart movie and had a great time. We even shared a kiss. We became a couple and we were happy. We had our troubles but we were a good fit. However after a few months, things started to take a turn for the worst...
