As They Prowl

Chapter 2

Jasmina POV

After the movie, Arie and I walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus to come. While we waited we continued to chatter excitedly about how good the movie was and what our favorite part was. The bus finally arrived and we headed back to Arie's house to hang out and watch TV.

"Hey, what time is it?" I asked. "Um, 8:00pm", as if on queue, my phone started to play 'Stupid Hoe' by Nicki Minaj. I sighed and picked up the phone. " Hello."

"What time is it?" said my foster mother on the other line.

"8:02pm", I replied keeping my voice neutral and cold.

"Little girl, you better get your narrow behind home, before I come over to that little friend of your's house and drag you out by the neck of your jersey!!" she yelled into the phone.

" Whatever.", I said, my voice dripping sarcasm into that single word before hanging up the phone.

" I have to go. The devil lady is tripping again.", I said rising from the couch. " Dang she really is triffiling. Do you need a ride? " Arie said looking sad that I had to leave. I looked out the window seeing that it was still light enough outside for me to walk home.

"No I'll be alright." I said walking out the door.

" Okay if you say so. Bye fool!", she yelled as I walked through the door. I laughed and continued walking home.

I was walking home on the dark street, not far from my house, listening to 'Rap Song' by T-pain, while dancing and rapping in my tpain voice song knowing I must have looked retarded. All of a sudden I hear a rustle of the bushes through the loud music. I take a earbud out to listen and see if it was just me making stuff up in my head.

Suddenly I saw A boy walking in my direction; and he was a fine piece of candy too. I, first was going to act normal an walk around him , but that didn't seem to work out like that.

Once he was in arm range he stopped in front o me and just stared at me. It was still dark so I couldn't really see his face but I could tell he had a tall muscular frame that I loved, dark sun- kissed skin and black, velvet looking hair. The rest of his face was covered by the darkness that surrounded us, but his eyes practically glowed as they stared at me intensely.

They were bright green with specks of brown, gold and blue with emotions swimming through them that were too intense to interpret. They seemed to be beckoning me to him with there unnatural looking glow. Seeming to trigger something inside me, something that has been buried inside of me, something that is itching to break free. Slowly my hand started to move towards him as if his touch would keep itching and clawing feeling at bay. He didn't move he just kept staring at me watching my hand move toward his body.

My hand was centimeters away from his body when....

My phone starts to ring causing me to jump, snatching my hand away from the green eyed stranger.

This seems to drag me out of my trance. Embarrassed, I put my head down," umm... I got to go, Sorry about that." I mutter walking all the way home. Leaving the beautiful dark boy behind.

When I walked into my house, I was greeted by my mother. "Where the hell have you been?" she yelled. I rolled my eyes and started to walk upstairs to my room. "Answer me little girl!!"

"It's none of your business where I've been I'm going to bed." I countered calmly. She then started to wind her arm up to slap me, but I was out of the room before she could even finish. " I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU!" she screamed up the stairs trying catch me, but my legs were longer and I was faster and I was upstairs in my room before she was even half way there. I let out a sigh shaking my head while I locked the door to my room.
