MIAMI LOVE: Loving A Thug

All eyes on him

"And he had the nerve to call me a hoe kionni!"
I said pulling around the corner , it was Friday and all was well. I wore sweatpants out the house and pulled my hair up , picked kionni up from her house and was well on my way to school .

" did he actually say you're a hoe or??"
I looked at her , slant wise trying not to crash ... "No , ugh but the way he said it just made me wanna squeeze his head off " I said.
"You over react" she laughed at me.
I loved kionni, but just because she was use to the slander and name calling doesn't mean I was , nor would I ever be .
"Whatever kionni, if it's not you it doesn't matter" I sighed.
"What do you want to eat before we go to school" I asked
"Andrea , you know I care "
I looked at the road.,
"We all mess up and say things we don't mean"
"Yeah I said some shit about vonte , but he really ain't that bad" she said looking at me ,
"He might really be changed" ...."give him a chance" never had I ever heard kionni stand up for anybody except herself. And for once she could be right about it. She never answered me about where to go for breakfast , so I just drove to a Quick fast food place and got breakfast sandwiches with orange juice for the both of us. The car was dead silent on the way to school. All I could think about was vonte and what I would say when I saw him today. We pulled into the parking lot I waited in the car for a couple of minutes before I decided to get out. Kionni looked at me but not for very long she turned her head in the other direction and started walking towards the school doors.after I got my purse and my books from my backseat I was right behind her I walked into the school and straight to my locker Kionni didn't bother to stop at hers she went straight to class. I tried opening my locker struggling with the locks I hated acrylic nails they made everything so much harder. When I finally got my locker open i tossed in my stuff as I do every day , as I was about to walk away i felt a hand on my shoulder their grip was so strong that he pulled me backwards a few feet. I turned around to find vonte staring at me. in his eyes he looked sorry and I wanted to feel bad for hanging up in his face last night but something told me I shouldn't
"Look andrea , I'm not no suck up but I'm sorry", about last night you know?"I looked at him not so sure if I should take his apology or leave it.
"it's okay I guess"
He looked me in my eyes I guess trying to make moment sincere
"see me" he said "A brotha like me just want a chance with a girl like you." I looked around the hallway just to make sure I knew he was talking to me.
"Me?" I said....
"Yeah man" he replied , he leaned against the lockers with his hands in his pockets.
"Lemme take you out tonight or something" he said.
I looked around making sure once again he was still talking to me.
"Hmm alright I guess you could take me out, to make up for last night " I laughed
"I'm still mad at what you said" I quickly added
"So don't think you don gone and got away with cold-blooded murder". I winked and left him at the locker. I could feel his stare on the back of my neck , I headed around the corner and instantly. Melted.
Who is he kidding him asking me out on a date either he was just trying to get In my head or he was trying to get in my pants, who knows I could be wrong but for now I had my eye on him.

. . .

Class dragged by that day, all of them. I had on baggy sweats and felt like trash. The teacher was up at the front of the class rambling on about geophysics and a bunch of other crap we would probably never see again after high school . I listened and took notes , scribbled on the desk , looked through my phone, and even threw wads of paper to the front of the class where the teacher was standing at.
"And Andrea" he said " let's make sure we have our homework written "
"Yeah yeah" I motioned him with my hand to leave me alone I was too busy thinking about my date with vonte to be worried about some stupid homework .what would I wear ?, what would my hair look like!, would he think I was pretty enough?so many questions drove through my mind , I was letting my mind slip in class ,I snapped out of my daydream . I hadn't really heard anything he said the whole class period Besides just like all my other classes I had an A getting great grades was almost effortless for me. The bell rang shortly after , as I walked towards the door Mr.Carson stopped me

"Andrea , you haven't been paying very much attention in class " he said in a worried tone.
I looked at him ,
"Are things alright at home?" He asked
"I can assure you things are wonderful at home" I exclaimed , even thought they really weren't, I felt like I was loosing my mom to her boyfriend she was never around anymore.
Mr.carson looked at me like he didn't believe my response, but he nodded and gave my a reassuring look to let me know he would always be there for me.
"I'm always here Andrea, as well as you're guidance counselors."
"Thank you Mr.Carson "I nodded off and left without a second look back.

. . .
I walked down the hallway I could see Vonte at the other end , my heart raced , he was so beautiful to me.
