It can't be Jasmine. If it is, then I'll be freaked out. Mum might tell her something embarrassing about me and that will immensely destroy my reputation. Okay, I should chill and just go inside. Wait before I do, I shall pray to God.
"Dear God, thank you for this amazing day you have given to my family and I. Lord please make the family in the kitchen not be Jasmine's family because you know I'll freak out. Thank you Lord. Amen"
After I finished my prayer, I head over to the kitchen.
"Finally Steve, how long does it take you to have a shower. Oh, by the way, this is Steve, my only son"
"Oh, hey Steve" greets Jasmine.
"Hey" I reply with a nervous voice.
"Hey Stevie" greets her sister Sara.
"So, you guys moved houses"
"Yea, it's much closer to school and much more calm"
"Oh, ok. Am, excuse me, I need to grab something from my my room."
"Ok"
Very nervous right now. I don't feel like eating, not in front of her. She makes me nervous and shy. I've liked many chicks but this is the first time a chick made me feel this. Arghhh, I need advice, but can't get any right now, I just need to toughen up and go back into the kitchen.
"Steve, what we're you doing in the bathroom?" Asks mum.
"Nothing much mum, just brushed my teeth" Shit, why did I say that, why would I brush my teeth before eating.
"LOL, why did you brush your teeth?" Asks Sara.
"Free country mate"
"Hahaha" Jasmine giggles.
"So, Jasmine, has Steve been good around school except for the 'thing' yesterday?"
"He's been acting wei...good. Yea he's acting really good and he's getting high scores in class"
"Did he tell you that he's Romeo in the play" Ask Mrs. Clarke.
"Is he really? So proud of you son"
"Thanks"
"So we better get going now, we might be late for school"
"Oh, indeed, Steve pack your bag, you're gonna be going with them"
"Mum, can I just take the bus"
"R u sure Steve?"
"Yea, I'll be good"
"Okay then"
"See you later Steve"
"Bye"
I then grab my things and go to park where Chris and I usually meet.
* * * *
"Yo Steve!" Calls Chris.
"Sup mate"
"What's up?"
"Jasmine and her family moved into our street and they had breakfast with us, what about you?"
"Oooh, that's gonna be hard mate, just chillaxing with my bae"
"Hahaha, how's Sofie"
"Not bad, not bad, so should we buy some 'drugs'?"
"If it's lollies then, let's go"
"Haha"
We walked up the hill to the nearest dairy. We bought 10 packets of lollies and 2 fizzy drinks.
"That will be 15 dollars" Says the cashier.
So we pay him 20 bucks and he gives us 3 dollars back.
"I thought cashiers were meant to be good at maths" I whisper quietly to Chris.
"Yea, specially an Asian cashier" he whispers back.
"What should we do now" He asks.
"Lets go to your school"
"Okay"
* * * *
"Hey Steve" Greets Rebecca.
"Hey" I reply back.
"What brings you here?"
"Am excuse me, Steve already has a girlfriend so back off girl, he's taken. Not by me, by his girlfriend."
She has a lost look in her face.
"Feeling lost, let me repeat tha..."
"No, it's cool, Steve is taken and yea"
"Good, now get lost"
She walks away.
"What the hell was that? She was hot!"
"You said you already had a crush"
"To be honest, I don't know if I have one or not"
"Oh, too bad mate, she's gone"
"Who?"
"The girl you called hot"
"Your fault"
"Haha, come let's go to Sofie and her friends"
"Okay"
"Hey Chris and Steve" Greets Sofie.
"Sup" we answer together.
"So, what's up. Talking to Steve by the way"
"Nothing much, what about you?"
"Same"
"Steve is having crush problems"
"Really Steve?"
"Well..."
"Yes he is"
"Yea, I am"
"Do you still like her?"
"I don't actually know"
"Well that's hard, but you'll be fine and if you don't like her any more then Leah is always free"
"Hahaha" I laugh.
"What?"
"Nothing, oh shit, school is about to start, I better go, don't wanna get in trouble"
"Okay, laters"
* * * *
I get into school just before the bell rings. Most of the students are taking their time to go into their class while I rush into mine because I don't wanna get into trouble. I see Jasmine and her friends walking into their class. I hide. I don't want them to see me because they will surely mock me. I hear footsteps coming to me. Damn, they probably saw me, I better do something. So I get my bag and put my lunchbox on the ground to pretend it fell out. Then I noticed something. It wasn't Jasmine and her gang, it was Arn.
