My African Nerd

18. My Dearest Mia

Mia Brown

After catchup class, David and I went our separate ways. I needed more classes than he did because he got a high score on the progress report, much higher. I headed to my locker when I was approached by Eddy Douche and Robert.  They looked happy to see me. Almost too happy. These basturds didn't even bother trying to help me now they acting as if the world is all fairies and shit. I mean I knew they weren't truly my friends but could they atleast have the decency to atleast not laugh when I was dying. Now I know that these two are up to something, just don't know what yet so I just played along. They kept whisper yelling to each other. So I just turned around with the hardest expression I could master.

"What?!" I said coldly.

"You look super sexy today baby, wanna hung out, you know. You and me. I know you want me, I have seen you staring at me."Eddy The self absorbed dick replied. He was the exact opposite of Brown eyes. Damn Am whipped.

"The only reason I would ever check you out is to try and figure out how you fit that big head through your t-shirt." I stated innocently.

"Ohhh! So now you think you are better than us huh? You are still the same whore you are. You never Saw him before but the minute you know he is rich, you fall for him? How convinient. Now the world knows of the Brown Slut." He laughed high fiving Robert. "You are nothing but a cheap slut and soon you will be bored of Africa and come crawling back to real men who can satisfy you." Causing the crowd around us to laugh. Usually I would just shrug it off. But when he mentioned people thinking am with David for his money, it really hit a nerve. I mean that is what it looks like. That is why people have been giving me disgusted looks.

"What? No smart reply? Is it because am right slut? You will never amount to anything in your life except a spoilt bratt so stop trying to convince yourself that you deserve a happy ending and come back to us. WHERE YOU BELONG." He emphasist the last words. I couldn't take it. For the first time in my life I felt weak. I went out of the school running. I saw another large crowd gathered but I couldn't care, I had to get out of there. I got to my porshe and drove out at a high speed. I loved driving fast, it helped me feel free. I loved the sound of screeching tires when I drifted, the sound produced by exhaust when I accelarated and the feel of the wheel in my hands. I was in my family's private airstrip for God knows how long before noticing that both private jets were there. That means my parents are back. With that I turn on traction control and drove home.

As my luck would have it, the gearbox burst a good 15minutes away from home. Great. I walked the rest of the way and got home all sweaty. I was welcomed by Mr. May, my parents' head of security who was sitting on the front porch. I walked into the mansion, past a very busy Fiona. Then I saw my mother. She looked uncharacteristically happy to see me.

"Hey Mia! I am so glad you are here honey, we need to talk." She said. No why aren't you in school Mia like good old caring moms. I guess I will go with what I have because I rarely even talk to my mom before she and dad leave for business else where.

"Yeah, sup?" I asked in a monotone earning an eye roll

"You have no manners child." She had the nerve to say as if she is there to teach me any. "I know I have been absent in your life honey but I want to try and make up for it. I have been following your school progress and in the week before you got hurt it suddenly improved. Even now I can see you are putting a little bit of effort and am proud. Now Fiona says it is some boy who has been mentoring you. Is that true?" She said judgingly or atleast I think so. I cannot even tell my own mother's tones apart.

"Yes mother it is. He is my boyfriend David." Still in a monotone

"David? Who are his parents? Do I know him? Is he an important person? Is he worth dating you because you cannot just date anyone. You have to think of the family name." I swear this woman is trying to kill me

"The fuck does it matter who I fucking date? It is my fucking life!" I retaliated mad at the odesity this woman has

"Watch your language young lady, and I will not allow just a no body into my house to steal your inheritence!" She spat back at me. My body literally shaking with anger so I decided to spit her

"He is the son of a plumber. His name is David Smith and no, you don't know his parents because they are ordinary people." My voice vernomous as I stared this woman in the face. She sighed with defeat and simply said she wants to meet him tonight for dinner before walking down stairs. Then I walked into my room. All the memories of David and I floaded my brain and I smiled only to remember Eddy's words earlier. Immediately a frown was on my face as I threw myself on my bed. The sound of paper being crushed under my pillow caught my attention and when I uncrampled it, I immediately recognised David's ugly handwritting. it said:

My dearest Mia,
Today is our first day of school. I asked Fiona to put this under your pillow so that you find when you come back from school. I am guessing if you are smiling right now, things went by really smoothly against all odds. If you are not, am sorry I failed to make you feel better. I am sure people are going to try and bring us apart. Everyone will have their opinion but in the end, it is up to us and I love you Mia. I love you with all your flaws and perfections. I love you despite your past because I want to be a part of your future, a better future because the Past is everything we were, it doesn't make us who we are today. I guess I am asking you to choose me despite all the shit we will go through. I am asking you to allow yourself to be fully mine as my soul is fully yours.
With Love
David.

He knows me so much. He knows how much reassurance I need and gives it to me. I cannot believe I almost gave up on us just because of some dumb ass. From now on, fuck the world, it is just me and David against everyone else. With that, I took a shower, call roadside service to collect my car and now I was not feeling so humble, I decided to take one of my dad's cars. A Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren 722. The twin turbo engine roaring as I revved it and drove to school. By the time I got there, half of lunch break was gone. My car caught a lot of attention as I parked it near the i8, making it look like a softie. I should remember to ask for a race. With that, i rushed out, the letter in hand and ran inside. I went straight to David and Elsa's table. Before he could say a word, I struddled his waist and kissed him like my life depended on it...

Saved by a note. Is there anything David won't do for his Mia? Well keep reading and I hope you are still enjoying reading as much as am loving writing this story. Spoiler alert: they need one more ally to join their crew before taking on the bad guys and who better than Brie. How do you think she is going to end up with them?
