IN CROWD

Chapter V

  Excuse all errors....
This is my second attempt at writing this chapter.

  It was Saturday and events of last night party flooded Becca's mind as she laid in her bed gazing at the ceiling. How could she be so stupid to think a boy like Omar could like a girl like her. She was his exact opposite; he was part of the in crowd and she was part of no crowd. She was just plain and simple Rebbeca Steele daughter of a surgeon and a web designer/ writer.

    Pushing all thoughts aside she gets up glancing at her alarm clock it was 8:30am, she pulls the curtains open to let some sun light  in, she saw little children playing in the road, which brought a smile to her face. Oh how she miss those days when their was no hormones involve.

   She went to her bathroom and took care of her hygiene, she puts on tank top and shorts, she heard a knock at her door. "Miss Steele there is someone here to see you"

Someone, who could it be...

Making up her bed, tidying her room, even though her parents had people to do cleaning, her mother taught her to take care of a house. Life is so funny sometimes today we have it all tomorrow we have nothing. Life have away of humbling us.

  Please with her work, she leaves her room. He stood in the middle of the living room glancing at pictures that lined the wall.
"Omar " he hears, he was a bit startled but turns around to see Becca looking surprise to see him.

"Hey" he says smiling at her.

"Why are you here?" She asks him

"You left the party last night without saying hi"

She looks at him "you were busy"

"You could of still say hi" he stressed.

"You were preoccupied"

"What's with all the excuses, if I did something to hurt u I'm sorry"

"You don't owe me no apology, I think you should leave "

"What?"

"Please leave" she says calmly.

He nods but before he could leave he says " I like you too" he walks out.

She stood their frozen unable to move did Omar just said he likes her, is too late to run after him to tell him she likes him back but she couldn't; she couldn't she had to much pride. Sighing she went to the kitchen get her breakfast.

  The weekend went by quickly and it was Monday. She was in her car on her way to school. She was listening to Hail by Quada.
She wasn't in a mood to deal with any bullshit today, she knew Andrea was going to chew her out for kicking Omar out her house but she was nobody seconds.

  She arrives at school, she parks her car in the parking lot and exits, she made her way across the lot to the school. Her heart drops when she saw Omar and his crew even Alicia was their with them being her usual clingy self. She was all over him. She walks up the steps passing them she hears.

" Their goes  your girl?" Sammy says.

"She is not my girl" he says she looks over them, there were no words that could be used to express the way she was feeling after hearing him say those words. She sees him entwines his fingers with Alicia's.

  She walks away, heading to her first class Maths, she was the first one there.
Her friend Andrea came burst throw the doors. "Have you heard Omar and Alicia are dating"

Yea, I saw it with my own two eyes

Instead she says "And" returns to her book. Andrea glance at her friend.

"Is something wrong?"

" Nothing is wrong I'm blessed"

"So you cool with Omar and Alicia dating"

I'm I ?

" I don't care what or who Omar is dating, he is not my man"

But he could of been, if you just hear him out.

"Did you and your parents fight, you sound different."

"Different is good, we all need change. You should try it sometime" she tells her.

"What does that mean"

"Figure it out" she says not even looking at her

" You know what Becca whatever stress you have don't take it out on me, you feel because your parents have money you could talk to people anyway you want"

Closing her book she glance at her friend she could see tears filling her eyes "it's my parents money not mines, enjoy your life Andrea I wish you nothing but the best"

"So you ending our friendship"

"You said it not me"

"Go to hell Rebecca" she says running out the class.

  Was she doing the right thing? Was ending their friendship the right thing to do? Would she later regret it? Her thoughts got put aside when the bell rang and students came rushing in. The teacher came following and starts to teach.  45 minutes later she was on her way to her next class when she sees Andrea giggling with Alicia like they were best friends.
   Andrea turns around and sees her and glared at her and return to her conversation with Alicia. Were they friends?

"They have been friends for quite a while now" she turns to see Sammy looking at her.

"Since when"

"Don't know how long but Alicia and Andrea are friends, look around they roll in the same circle, why you think she always at her parties"

"She was my friend why didn't I know this"

"Things change Shawdy, people grow up and we out grow people." He says

"So all this time she was buddies with that snake"

"I shouldn't be telling you this but I over heard Andrea talking to Alicia about you being snobby and you think of yourself and you're always spending your parents money and flaunting it in her face "

"Lies, it's all lies, that bitch. I don't even spend my parents money. Yes I have a bunch of clothes I haven't even worn yet so what. Does that make me snobby"
When she look around Sammy was already gone. Was he speaking the truth, did Andrea really say does things about her. Was their friendship even real. Life clearly has away of humbling us.
