A Turn Around

Chapter 9

Friday 6:30am

I woke up with Dee gone. I start to freak out because he doesn't need to be out right now. Especially without me!

Me: Dee! DEE!?

I over hear mumbling.

Dee: Yeah mom- mom i'm fine. I stayed over a friends.

His Mom On The Phone: DEMARCUS TAYLOR YOU DO NOT LEAVE THIS HOME WITHOUT LETTING ME KNOW? YOU HEAR ME????

Dee: Yes mama i hear you. I'll be home later i promise.

He hangs up the phone.
I walk around the corner.

Me: Everything okay ?

Dee: yeah- yeahhh everything's fine just- just my mom worried. But everything's fine. Um you hungry ?

Me: No, just thirsty.
I walk over to get some water.

Dee: Sooo i have a question.
Me: And i have a answer, I'm listening.

Dee: Well yk we've been talking for some time and umm-

Me: ummmm?

Dee: I was wondering if umm you would like to be my-

Me: Girlfriend?

Dee: Ummm y-yes ! yes ! that's exactly what i was trying to say. But if you don't want to be that's fine.

There goes that smile again.

I walk up to him.

Me: Demarcus Taylor, you want me to be your girlfriend?

Dee: Of course! I mean only if you want to it's- like totally up to you.
He leans on the counter and knocks over a bowl.

Dee: Oh sorry-
Me: Your fine...Yes i would love to be your girlfriend.

He smiles,
Dee: really ? i-i mean cool, that's dope.

He's so cute when he's nervous.

Me:You are so cute but don't think you gone be with me for my ass.

Dee:Of course not. I don't want you for your body....okay maybe a little bit but only like 20% out of 100%. Your beautiful.

I walk up to him and kiss him on the cheek.

Me: Well we've gotta get ready for school so i'm gonna shower.

Dee smiles hard as shit,
Dee: uhh okay yeah cool.

After my shower i picked an outfit and hopped in Dee's car. I texted Tyra to see if she was coming to school.

Mᴇssᴀɢᴇ:
Tyra: hey gurl ! just wanna let you know i'm fine. i'll come for the game later on. Love you !

Me: Okay love you too ! Be safe!

We pull up to the school:

Dee: You ready ?
I nod.
Dee: Alright lets go.

We start walking down the halls.
People are staring and gossiping. I wanted to say "YEAH WE TOGETHER! WHATS GOOD!" but i can't be ghetto 😂.
