The Girl From Summer. [OMB]

TGFS | OMB | CHAP. THREE

Angelic Stewart —

I sat in a room, not sure who's room she said it was, but a room. It smelled like a high school wannabe's room, like someone tried to hard to maintain a mature act and made comments about sexual consent.

It gave me that vibe. I had hurried to get dressed into high waisted dark blue jeans and a simple cropped white shirt because the door had no lock. I put on a thin belt and brushed my hair, letting it fall into its natural waves.

I put on some black Air Forces and grabbed my backpack, taking it out to the car and throwing it in the trunk. Then I heard a voice yell. "Aye yo mamas." I looked over to see a bald dude, with a tear drop tattoo walking towards me.

"Hi. Can I help you?" I asked, stepping to the driver side, opening the door. "Where'd you get this car? I have the same one, in red." He genuinely seemed curious, glancing inside and looking at the leather seats as he whistled.

"Really." I peeked up, smiling widely. "I got this from my Dad as a gift, but he passed a few years ago. I adore older cars, so he got me this as a present." I giggled, getting in and shutting the door, starting the engine.

He leaned down to the window. "Ever thought of selling it?" He asked. I laughed, turning on the AC. "Never." I smiled, pushing his arms gently off as I drove off. Geny had asked me to pick up Ruby and his friends from some place, and I agreed.

She gave me their location and I arrived soon after, honking the horn at the house. Soon four kids stumbled out, looking around. I rolled the window down. "Ruben! Your mom sent me to pick you guys up, let's go!" I hollered, watching them slowly approach the car.

"I've never seen you a day in my life." The short boy said, well the shortest one. "Same to you, love. No, but you can even call her. My names Angel." I shrugged. "Hey it's fine by me if you wanna walk, I don't care."

"I ain't walking in this heat, move." A tallish black guy shoved them out of the way, pulling the passenger door open and clambering in. "I'm Jamal." He grinned, letting his eyes trail down my body, and in a way it was respectful, his eyes didn't linger in any spots.

"Guys, there's four of us. One of her. If she turns out to be a creepy hot rapist I'll just call Oscar." The other boy said. I gasped, then smirked. "You think I'm hot?" To which the girl gave me a dirty look, and I gave one right back.

"Whatever." They soon all piled in, and I pulled away towards the house. Deciding to make a better first impression I attempted to start a conversation. "Um.. you guys excited for summer!"

Jamal turned to me and gave me a 'that's all you got?' kind of look and I gave a defensive shrug. "Okay. What's your names, I only know Ruby's." I asked. "I'm Cesar." The boy smirked, leaning forward. "But you can call me pa—" He was cut off by the girl pulling him back. "I'm Monse."

"That's a pretty name." I smiled, pulling infront of the house. She blushed. "Thanks. Yours is too." We all got out as I mumbled a thank you. "Crap! My Dad said I have to be home by 3, it's 2:50! Angel, will you please give me a ride." Jamal asked, his face full of hope.

I shrugged. "Sure, why not." I got back into the car, him doing the same. Cesar walked across the street, Monse down some, and Ruby ran inside shouting "Boner! Boner!" while I turned towards Jamal. "Where to?"

****

The next morning, I slept in Ruby's room while he slept with the twins, I got up at like 10. Ruby already left with the boys to say goodbye to Monse, she was going to writing camp which I found pretty cool because she was following a long-term dream.

I had gotten Jamal's number and he wouldn't stop texting me, asking if I wanted to find the RollerWorld money with him. I soon agreed, which made him stop texting me and I didn't know why, but it made me lonely.

When Ruby returned with Jamal and Cesar, I let them come hang with me. We just sat around talking about random things, before I shoo'd them out so I could get dressed, which they protested and asked if they could simply stay and would definitely "cover their eyes securely".

I got into black high waisted jean shorts and a cropped spaghetti strapped cami in black. I put on perfume and deodorant before opening the door to invite them back in. When I turned I could feel eyes on my backside, so I hurriedly turned and sat.

My face heated up slightly and I snickered. "Ruby has a boner." I pointed out, throwing him a pillow that ironically said 'sorry I'm attractive'. I got it at Target while a guy was watching me and showed it to him while flipping him off.

Jamal and Cesar laughed, making Ruby glare at me while waddling to sit down. They sat down too, Jamal basically planting himself onto my lap while I groaned and pushed him off. "Fatty." I teased, while he grinned. "Thank you! I eat quite a lot." I laughed.
