My Step Brother

Chapter 3

Here I am sitting at home 8:00 in the morning watching cartoons bored as shit, I bet your wondering what happened yesterday when I got caught in the alley. Well I didnt exactly get in a world of trouble, the principal just suspended me for one day which is today for skipping class, obviously he didnt smell the weed on me because I wouldve got way more than a suspension if he did, that perfuem really came in handy. When my mom came to pick me up from the school I got that same old tiring ass lecture, "Apryl you gotta start doing better." "Apryl what is so hard about going to class and getting work done?" "Apryl I am so disappointed in the person you've become." "Apryl you know I didnt raise you this way." and on and on and on she went, but the whole time im like NEWS FLASH MOM your part of the reason that I act this way, she stresses me out so much and complains about everything I do. Everytime something goes on with me in school she's quick to throw in my face about how I act just like my dad, hard headed and naive and how I shouldve left with him that night and she's damn right I shouldve left, then I wouldnt have to be putting up with her aggravating ass, but as far as my dad right now I really can give 0 fucks about him because he lied to me to my face and is the reason I am the way I am. The night he left me and my mom he never came back like he said he would, he didnt even bother to call and see if I was alive or breathing, he seen how hurt I was and just straight lied to my face, what kind of shit is that? I bet he's somewhere living the life of luxury with some other women and her kids forgetting that I ever existed.

Pulling me out of my thoughts was a light knock at my door, I sighed growing irritated already knowing it was my mom probably coming in here to give me another lecture.

"Come in." I shouted.

She came inside with a big grin on her face, she shut the door quietly and came to sit beside me on the bed.

"Did I wake you?" She asked turning off the tv.

"No you didnt, and I was watching that." Referring to the episode of telletubbies I was watching.

She sucked her teeth and laughed "Apryl come on now your 18 years old, you to big to be watching telletubbies girl."

I didnt respond, I just sat up in the bed and stared at her "What do you want?"

"Why do you always have an attitude with me Apryl, I just came in here to talk to you and its like BOOM your irritated." She said with a confused look on her face.

I sighed, man this woman is just to much "I dont have an attitude I just asked what you needed, and I dont feel good." I lied, I was perfectly fine I just wanted her to get the fuck out of my room so I could go back to my peacefulness.

She scooted closer to me and spoke after a moment "Okay well, I've been waiting some time to tell you this because I didnt know how you would react to it but I think now is better than later, I just dont want you to feel uncomfortable Apryl."

I had no idea where she was going with this conversation but I knew whatever it was I wasnt going to like it.

"Ma, just get to the point please." I said throwing my head back rolling my eyes.

She shifted around on the bed a little with a look on her face that said 'Damn how am I gonna tell her this' I didnt know if it was bad news or good news but whatever it was she knew I was gonna get pissed off about it from the way she shifted around uncomfortably.

"Umm alright so." She paused for a second "Okay Apryl I met this new guy and--."

"Met him where?" I asked plainly.

She shifted again and swallowed hard "Hold on a minute im gonna get to that just let me explain this first, so I met this new guy named Mendeecees, I met him about a month ago and we were talking for a while before we got into anything because you know me I like to take things slow when it comes to guys. Anyway, he's very sweet to me and I like him alot and he really likes me, he's very charming Apryl and were kind of dating now and we've been dating for 2 weeks now oh and I met him on blackpeoplemeet.com."
