My Boo (Urban Love Story)

Chapter 1

Mackenzie's POV:
It was Febuary 14th, Valentines day; my favorite day of the year. Everyone in Mrs.Angels' 6th grade class was dressed for the occasion and had their backpacks full of treats and cards to pass out to eachother.

To everyone else this was just a day to recieve treats from their classmates, have snacks and find out who really "liked" who. Myself on the other hand , was preparing to finally approach the boy that I had a crush on since the day I met him ; Jordan Watts,

Maaaan was that boy fine! He had a smile that could light up a room, beautiful chocolate skin and lips that looked soft as silk.

Almost all of the girls in my class had little crushes on him and it made me sick. Some of them fast lil girls wrote his name in their notebooks. Some also wrote his name on their hand with magic marker.

I would never did think too much of it because I knew some day he'd be mine. From the way I'd catch him staring at me, to the way he'd look down at his shoes while speaking to me. I know I had him shook. He never did that to any of the other girls so I knew there had to be something different about me. Part of the reason could be that I'm never the one to be in his face begging for his attention.

Yes it may sound crazy because I was only in the 6th grade but it sure as hell felt right!

My class was lined up outside of the classroom as we waited for the bell to ring. I made sure to have my mom find the cutest out fit in my closet so I could look my absolute best.

I put on a white long sleeved t-shirt, with a red fur vest to cover it; black jeans and some red UGGs with bows on the back of them.

My mom always had something fly for me to wear to school and always kept my hair done. So I knew I was the bomb.

Everyone started to file in and find their seats as Mrs.Angel wrote on the board and spoke out loud ❤️Happy Valentine's Day! . "Happy Valentine's Day Mrs.Angel!", Everyone replied bright eyed and bushy tailed.

I was sitting at my desk twirling one of my long twisted ponytails that reached the middle of my back; day dreaming.

I got a little shaken up when my best friend Katrina tapped my shoulder and asked, "So Mac are you giving Jordan your big card this year?"

"Just wait and see" , I answered with the biggest smile on my face.

Katrina Leday has been my best friend since kindergarten. We've always been close. She's the type of girl that will put you in your place , give advice and teach you game all at the same time. For us to be this young she sure knew alot about some "older" situations. She's loving, smart and is super pretty! She has pretty caramel skin, big brown eyes, is real tall and her hair hangs to the small of her back. That's my creole girl. My ride or die.

All of the kids in my class were talking, showing off the characters on their cards and sneaking the extra peices of candy that their parents packed in their bags. I looked over to see Jordan talking to his friends Logan, Damonte' and Hassan.

I couldnt quite make out what was being said but I did notice Hassan pointing and looking towards me.

Knowing they were talking about me gave me butterflies. I knew it had to be something good because as soon as he seen me being nosey his face lit up and he waved.

Just as I started to wave and smile back, Chanel came over and interrupted our little moment.

I couldn't stand that girl. Just looking at her made my blood boil. She had the most stank ass attitude on a 10 year old I'd ever seen.

"So Mackenzie, I heard you want Jordan to be you're valentine this year? Are you giving him the big special one?" She asked With her nosey ass.

"It's none of your business who I give anything to , as long as everyone gets one. Oh, and you know what? YOU just might not get one!" I said and rolled my eyes.

"Tuh, whatever girl. That's why if you do, he'll have 2 big cards in his mailbox because I'm giving him mine!" She said and stuck out her tongue.

"Talk to the hand 'cause my face don't understand." I said, making Katrina laugh. Im guessing she didnt have a comeback because she left and sat right back at her desk.

"That's my girl!" Katrina proclaimed after giving me dap.

"Forever and always." I said , putting my attention back on Jordan who was waiting on the next instruction the teacher was going to give.

"Okay class , so before we get started I want everyone to get out their goodies and Valentine mailboxes . Set up at the edge of your desks and stand up behind your seats."

I was so excited! My mailbox had pink and red hearts with silver glitter all over and an "M" on each side.

As soon as we were granted permission to pass out our valentines we started walking around . Everyone was laughing, playing and having a good time.

Our teacher passed out cookies, Capri Suns, and slices of pizza.

I put my big card (the best card out of the bunch as a kid) and a heart shaped basketball full of starburst in Jordan's little red mailbox and headed back to my seat.

I knew he hated chocolate so I had to give him something he'd love! You cant go wrong with starbursts.

This year I had Lion King cards. Nala and Simba were sooo cute! The card I gave to Jordan read , "Have a ROARING Valentines day! LOVE Mackenzie Rowe ! " In the best handwriting I could possibly write in.

As we were eating and comparing all of our candy and cards, Katrina seen Jordan going through his and said, "Ooh girl look! Isn't that one yours!!"

I seen him pick it up so I had to turn my head and peak out the corner of my eye. I was so nervous!! My heart was beating at 1000 mph and I couldnt stand it! I had to walk over to him, but what would I do? What would I say?

"Katrina I dont know what to say girl! I feel like I'm going to puke!" I groaned.

"Look, get it together. You've been waiting all school year to do this. Dont chicken out now! Go over there and see wassup! I got your back!" She reassured me.

I grew the balls to walk over to him and as soon as I did, Hassan started to sing , "Mac and Jordan sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" as he was making kissy faces.

My cheeks turned red as tomatoes and so did Jordans. Everyone started to laugh, he ripped up my Lion King card and threw his candy to Hassan.

My jaw dropped and my heart crumbled into a million peices. Mrs. Angel came over to see what all the fuss was about and it took nothing but 2 seconds for me to have ran to the bathroom. My face was hot, and my tears felt like acid dripping down my cheeks. I was mad, embarassed and hurt all at the same time.

5 minutes later Katrina came to my rescue. She knocked on the stall door , "Hey boo can I come in?", She asked.

When I opened the door I just threw my self into her arms and buried my face in her shoulder.

"It's gonna be okay Mac, he was just showing out in front of his sucka ass friends." Katrina said.

I looked up in awe and squealed, "Oooooh Kay Kay now you know you ain't supposed to be cussin!"

"Well Kiana said that to Kashell, so it sounded right to say to you. They're my big sisters and that's what you are to me; my sister."

I squeezed her extra tight, and she gasped, "Damn girl that's enough! You want me to die or something!"

I busted up laughing , and went to the sink to wash the tear streaks off of my face.

"And another thing, you too pretty to be worried about any nappy headed boys!"

I thought to myself "Where the hell did she get that from" . But didn't even want to stress it.

She was right though. I am too pretty to be crying over him.

I have a butterscotch skintone, slanted hazel eyes and a more "mature" figure than most girls in the third grade. I guess because my mom is Mexican and my daddy is Black I got some good genes.

Not to mention all the boys gave me their big cards and I even got a teddy bear from one of them.

I'm a straight up catch , if I do say so myself. He'd be lucky to have me even looking at him again.
