"No problem" I said to her while getting my phone and looking at the time. The time was 7:00pm, and I'm feeling kind of tired."I'm finna go home cause I'm kind of sleepy, so I'll see you later." I said to her then gave her one last hug.
"Ight be safe" she said.
"You too" I said then I got up then headed out the door to my car. I get in and drove home.
Now (4 months later)
Rose POVI'm in the mirror getting ready for school. I'm so ready to go back to school; Online classes was starting to get on my nerves. And I really didn't need my crutches but I was going to still bring them.
But lately Marcus and I have been constantly talking to each other. Like on the phone and at my house. He has really been a great person to talk to; Any time I have a problem he always listens and cares. He's kind of like my personal therapist and I really like him.
I looked in the mirror to finish my makeup with putting on lip gloss. I was still going to look good for school, I wouldn't let my cast and my neck brace effect my good looks. Plus, next month I'm getting my neck brace taken off.
(My outfit⬇️)I take one more look in the mirror to make sure I look straight. I go ahead and order my Uber, and yes an Uber I'm not going to be able to drive my car until next month; and I don't mind riding a Uber anyways. I grab my book bag, and keys for the house and walk down the stairs. I'm so glad that I don't need no one helping me walk or do anything anymore.
I walk in the kitchen to grab a quick snack before I leave. I opened the pantry to grab me two sweet and salty trail mix. I really wasn't supposed to be eating them but I was craving for some trail mix.
I walked in the living room to see if my Uber was outside and it was. I grab my crutches and head out side to the car.
After what seemed like a long car ride we reached the school and the driver offered to help me out but I declined the offer. I reached over the seat to get my things and left out the car.
My friend Dee(which is one of my ex) seen me struggling with my crutches and grabbed them for me. He's a nice guy but I was never attracted to him so our relationship didn't last long, and besides it was way back in middle school. Now days I don't look at him as my ex, I look at him as a friend.
"Wassup Rose and welcome back" he said while smiling and holding my crutches as we walked into the school building. Then he gave me a small hug, knowing not to hug me tight because of obvious reason.
"Thanks Dee" I said to him. I really wanted to hurry in the building to sit because I didn't feel like walking with a whole cast on all day.
He looked at me as he was walking on the other side of me.By the way he was looking at me I guess he like what he was seeing.
"You look beautiful" he said looking at me. I started to blush a little because when ever someone compliments me that make me feel like a 10.
"You always say I look beautiful" I said to him because it true. He's always say things like 'I like your hair' or 'you look pretty today'. I'm actually glad that I have a friend that sees the good in me.
"Because you do" He said to me. I just rolled my eyes and went in the building.
When I went through the doors the light were off. That's weird, why would the cafeteria light be off. I opened the door to enter into the cafeteria and the light cut on and everyone pop up and yelled welcome back. I'm not gone lie I got scared for a minute but then I laughed it off. I walked towards to middle of the crowd and saw this big poster looking thing. As I got a little closer it was a welcome back card that was huge and a lot of people signed it. Then I looked around and food was laid out, the tables were set up pretty nice, music was playing loud and there was black and white balloons everywhere. I guess this was a welcome back party. Friends and teachers brought me bears and roses and other things. I can believe they did this for me. I looked up at everyone then started crying. I was so happy that everyone cared for me that much. It really made me feel special. Everyone came in to give me a hug.
A few minutes later I'm talking to everyone and their telling me things and giving me hugs and more gifts to the point I can't caring them.
Then some one grabbed the microphone that was in the front of the lunch room and cleared their voice. I walked up a little so I could see who it was. When I finally got a view of who it was, it was Marcus. But what was he doing up there I thought to myself.
"Umm can I get everyone's attention" he said into the mic. Everyone turned their heads towards him and stop talking. The room was silent for a minute then he started talking.
"Wassup, for those who may not know me (which is very little) I'm Marcus. I'm not here to give y'all a story about how good Rose is because I'll be hear all day." He said the every started chuckling. Then he gazed over to me and our eyes locked together.
"But Rose you are the Most beautiful, smart, talented, girl i know. Everything about you just screams different. Shit you even looked good in a cast and a neck brace." He said while admiring my look. Some teachers heard him curse and gaps.
"Language" one of the coaches had yelled. He just laughed and apologized.
"I never met someone who I can relate to on a personal level. And your just right, light skinned, thick, and you got a fat ass." He said then I blushed. He realize he had curse again then apologized again.
"Ok ok ok, all I'm tryna say is will you be my girl friend?" He ask then everybody started to get excited. Girls started jumping up and down and hoping I'll answer. Other people were telling me to say yes. I thought about it cause I really did like him and I wanted to see how far this thing between us was going go.
I cleared my throat so I could speak and give him and everyone including him an answer. Everybody went quiet and looked desperately at me including Marcus as I started to speak.
"I, Rose Lewis, would love to be your girlfriend." I said loud so everyone could hear. I looked at Marcus and he looked relieved. Everyone was even more happy. He walked over to where I was and kissed me on the lips. The moment his lips touched mines I felt a spark as if it was supposed to happen. His lips were soft and I didn't want to pull back. Some people yelled get a room. But we didn't care, Then eventually we stoped. I just hope he doesn't breaks my heart like Damian did. I don't think I could every go through another heart break like that; that shit still hurts.
The bell ring to signal that it first period But I guess first period was cancel because I didn't see nobody leave. I looked at the table where all my gifts were and I realized how am I gonna take all these gifts home.
"Marcus can I put all these gifts in your car and you can take it to my house." I asked him hoping he will say yes.
"you already know the answer" he said then I started smiling.
He helped me bring all of my things to his car so later he could drop them off.
Everyone stayed in the cafeteria during first period to have a little fun and eat cake, the music started playing again and everyone was eating food and having a good time, including the teachers.
To be continued 😍😍😍😍😍
