Impossible love

History

Abena's pov

Today was tell your history day. Miss Darcy ,chose me to speak about Ghana. I was shy.

I'd decided to ignore Zayn. Xander and I were hanging out out more so he couldn't get time to talk to me. Fine but it hurts.

The students had made a circle around me. Inez clutching Zayn's arm..I ignored them..Zayn was staring at me with a pained expression. Queen nudged me to speak.

I began my speech,from how We had 10 regions which have now become 16.. to the characters of the various tribes.

" In Ghana, Parents don't allow children of our age to have boyfriends . Some don't even allow their kids to speak to boys but expect you to get married when the time is right" I said and most of them laughed.

I saw Inez raise up her hand. Not calling her would sound so wierd so I chose her.

" First of all,I think you Africans are boring and is it true you sleep on trees,you guys are officially murdering yourself and why do you have brown skin by the way...I mean it's not even nice...your skin color makes me sick " she said and I saw Zayn looking at her angrily.

I was angry too. All my life,I've heard the racism rate in the world going high. Never in my life did I know someone will say this to me. I had tears in  my eyes.

" First of all...we are not boring. We do not sleep on trees and we were born with the brown skin.if we knew the world would have been like this and we had the right to make a choice in skin colours,we would have chosen white. But we did not ask to be black or to be born in Africa."
I was sobbing now.

" Do you think we wanted to be like this,No it was destiny and I am proud to be who I am" I ended my speech and ran to my tent.

This was too much. Blacks getting killed because of their colour, people spitting on us, Having low opinions about us.

I was just a child but ive been able to speak my mind.

Queen came in.
" I don't judge you for who you are Rachael,I like the way you are, everyone out there supports you. Heck you are not the only black in the school or here."

I hugged her.

**********************

Queen and I went swimming In a river. I removed my dress,exposing my flat Timmy and my red matching bikini.

I heard someone whistle. I turned to find Xander. I covered my front.

" Oh come on baby,"
I smiled at him. I was kinda feeling scared. Queen had jumped into the river and I decided to mov into the inner forest to Change.

" Don't be scared,it me Xander" he said,as if I didn't know. He had this look in his eyes. A look I hadn't seen before. Pure lust.

He licked his lips and came closer. I moved again. This was the second time someone was going to try this again.

" I like you, Rachael and no one will take you away from me. Not Zayn,Drake or Sedrick" he whispered and closed in on me.

My back had hit a tree so I couldn't move back. Not Xander too. He looked so innocent to do that.

" You don't know me Rachael, you don't know what the Russell's have done to me"

And how I'm I responsible for that. I have no connection with them.

" Zayn likes you and I'm going to crash you so he gets hurt" He said and I shuddered.

So Zayn liked me. Xander lied.

" I have no sister dear, I lied" he said. I remembered what I told Zayn earlier. Regret.

Flashback

After seeing Inez and Zayn kissing. I stormed to the tent. Queen was out hiking with Terry so  I went out into the woods to walk.
" Rachael?" I heard Zayn say. I ignored him.

" Rachael it's not what you think please,it was forced"
" Oh really, I could see you kissing back too" I retorted.
" Please,give me another chance"

" Why are you even talking about chances,we're just friends nothing else"

He kept quiet...I knew he was hurt. I was hurt too but he needed to know where we stood. We're just friends.

" At least, no more rude behavior towards me"

" I choose to be nice to who I'm supposed to be nice to Zayn"

"Like Xander?" It came out forced.
" Becareful of him Rachael he is a bad boy" he continued.

" Really, that's surprising coming from the boy who meets up with every girl sitting on his desk" I replied.

" I changed Rachael"

" Really what happened?" He didn't reply.

"I need you Rachael" he said and came closer to me. My heart skipped a beat at the look in his eyes. He smiled at me. He had let his long hair down. His dimple was as prominent as ever.

He held my hand and leaned in. I pushed back.

" Leave me alone Zayn, please. I need time"

He left me, looking hurt. Then I saw him turn

" You asked me what happened that I changed"

I nodded.

" When you came"

End of flashback.

Here I was,about to be hurt again...
